Barksdale Resources announced promising assay results from the first four holes of its 2026 drill program at the Sunnyside Project in Arizona, revealing broad zones of high-grade copper, zinc, and silver mineralization. Highlights include significant copper grades over long intervals, with some holes ending in mineralization, indicating a large and expanding mineral footprint. The drilling targets near-surface copper and silver zones within the Chalcocite Zone, an area not systematically drilled in over 50 years. The company plans further drilling to test deeper porphyry targets and other high-priority areas, aiming to expand the mineral resource and add value to the project portfolio.
