Barksdale Resources Starts Fall 2026 Diamond Drill Program at Sunnyside in Southern Arizona

01:02 PM EST, 11/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Barksdale Resources (BRO.V) started its fall 2026 diamond drill program at its 67.5%-owned Sunnyside copper-zinc-lead-silver project located in the Patagonia mining district of southern Arizona, it said Tuesday. The company's first phase of a planned 16,000-meter program comprises about 8,000 meters of drilling, it said. Oriented diamond drill core will test targets that the company's 2026 reverse circulation rig was unable to reach. "With a core rig now on site and the Phase 1 drill program fully funded, we will test the high-grade copper at depth utilizing oriented core drilling so we can gather critical information about the lithology and structure of the rocks at Sunnyside," said Chief Executive Officer Chris Stewart. Shares of the company were last seen unchanged at CA$0.235 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
