Alert
Vancouver, British Columbia / ACCESSWIRE / March 12 2014 / Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. ("Barkerville" or the "Company") announced today the startup of its QR mill facility which will process ore mined in 2013 from its QR Mine near the town of Quesnel in central British Columbia.

The Company anticipates pouring its first dore bar within the next few weeks as ore crushing began the morning of March 10th, 2014. The mill will operate 24 hours per day until the QR ore is processed at which point in time the Company expects to start processing ore from its Bonanza Ledge Mine. Weather conditions have been favourable which allows the Company to put more tonnes through the crushing circuit and fine ore bin.

The QR Mine operates under Permit M-198. There is currently in excess of 15,000 tonnes of ore extracted from the QR Mine in the mill stockpile. In June 2012 Permit M-198 was amended to also allow the Company to process Bonanza Ledge ore at the QR Mill

Mr. J. Frank Callaghan, Company president and CEO commented "Barkerville is excited to commence milling operations at a time when gold prices are trending upwards. Pouring gold dore bars and generating cash flow from production is an accomplishment few juniors are able to achieve and wouldn't happen without the strength of the Company's highly skilled workforce."

The Company has had a positive safety record to date as there have been no accidents or incidents. Barkerville is increasing its workforce as operations move to three shifts that will start in approximately 4 weeks.

News Release 14-03 Barkerville Gold Mines Reports Both Metallic Screen & Lead Collection Fire Assay Results of Fifteen Diamon...

Vancouver, BC - Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: BGM) (the "Company") announced today, results from complete hole metallic screen and lead collection fire assay results of fifteen diamond drill holes conducted on Cow Mountain in 2011.

As recommended in the Company's NI 43-101 report dated December 31, 2012 (the "Technical Report", see News Release dated June 19 2013) and mentioned in the news release dated December 9, 2013, all reject samples from drill core that was originally analyzed in 2011 with standard fire assays and unassayed infill core samples from those same holes collected in 2013 have been sent for 1,000 g metallic screen and 50 g lead collection/gravimetric fire assay. Considering coarse grained gold is common in the area it has been determined that the original 30 g standard fire assay method possibly undervalued gold grade. Once all drill data has been received, the Company will provide a comparative analysis between new and original drill data. The Company will also provide an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate.

Metallic screen and lead collection fire assay results of fifteen drill holes have been received and significant intercepts are listed in Table 1. Highlights include:

CM11-30

-2.1 meters (6.9 feet) of 160.0 g/T (4.668 oz/t) gold between 45.4 and 47.5 meters (148.9 and 155.8 feet)

CM11-35

-3.9 meters (12.8 feet) of 13.11 g/T (0.382 oz/t) gold between 175.2 and 179.1 meters (574.7 and 587.5 feet)

CM11-37

-5.6 meters (18.4 feet) of 8.77 g/T (0.256 oz/t) gold between 51.4 and 57.0 meters (168.6 and 187.0 feet)

CM11-40

-4.6 meters (15.1 feet) of 8.90 g/T (0.260 oz/t) gold between 68.4 and 73.0 meters (224.4 and 239.5 feet)

CM11-102

-2.2 meters (7.2 feet) of 293.0 g/T (8.633 oz/t) gold between 77.4 and 79.6 meters (254.0 and 261.2 feet)

-1.5 meters (4.8 feet) of 158.8 g/T (4.632 oz/t) gold between 192.9 and 194.4 meters (633.0 and 637.8 feet), and

-1.4 meters (4.5 feet) of 72.6 g/T (2.117 oz/t) gold between 249.8 and 251.2 meters (819.5 and 824.0 feet)

Note: 0.40 g/T cutoff and uncapped grade; * lead collection/gravimetric fire assay

All the significant intercepts of CM11 drill holes described above and in Table 1 may not be the true width. Due to the complexity of analyzing three types of quartz veins; namely, strike, diagonal & orthogonal veins, the true width will be determined after the Company's 3D geological model is updated.

The standard fire assay technique was conducted on a relatively small (30 g) aliquot of sample material that may or may not be truly representative of the gold content of the sample as a whole, particularly if coarse gold or visible gold is present that is notoriously difficult to homogenize within a sample pulp. The Screen Metallic technique utilized in the Company's Double Assay Program effectively evaluates 1,000 grams of pulverized material for each sample and was specifically developed by laboratories to measure coarse or visible gold within pulverized sample materials to provide a more representative estimate of overall gold content.

The collection of reject samples, infill core sampling and core sample cutting of 239 Cow Mt. drill holes conducted in 2007, 2009, 2010 & 2011 has been completed. News on complete holes that include metallic screen fire assay results of reject samples and lead collection fire assay results of previously unassayed infill core samples will be published as they become available. The Company is in the process of utilizing this information to update the drill hole database.

Drill core processing included descriptive logging and sampling for geochemical analyses. The NQ-size drill core was cut/split in two halves using saws at the Company's Lowhee Creek Compound in Wells-Barkerville, central B.C. One-half of the core is put in a sample bag. After all the samples are placed in the rice bags at the mine site, they are transported by BGM's personnel to a shipping company in Quesnel for trans-shipment to ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver, both of which are under the Bureau Veritas Group Company, for analysis. Sample preparation and geochemical assaying is done at ACME, following their own internal standards for quality control and verification. The gold assaying method uses a 1,000 grams metallic screen gold assay and 50 g lead collection fire assay. ACME is certified under the Assayers Certification Program of B.C.

International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd.: Court Approves Cross Lake Plan of Arrangement Including Proposed QR Mine & Mill (900 tpd) Acquisition

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, May 28, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. ("Wayside") (TSX VENTURE: WYG)(FRANKFURT: IWUB) is pleased to announce further to News Release 09-09 dated May 19, 2009, that as previously stated, the creditors of Cross Lake Minerals Ltd.("Cross Lake") approved an amended and restated plan of compromise and arrangement (the "Plan"), which amended, in a number of technical respects, the plan of compromise and arrangement filed on April 7, 2009 pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act and B.C. Business Corporations Act.

On May 25, 2009, the British Columbia Supreme Court issued the final order to approve the Plan, which among other things, allows for a subsidiary of Cross Lake to hold all of Cross Lake's interest in the QR Mine and Mill (the "QR Subco"). Wayside intends to proceed to enter into an agreement ("the Agreement") first announced on February 04, 2009 and updated April 9, 2009 whereby Wayside will purchase the QR Subco. Completion of the Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions including, but not limited to, completion of due diligence and obtaining the necessary shareholder, regulatory and Court approvals.

The 900 tonne per day QR Mill, which was fully operational until February 2009 (now on care and maintenance), is a CIP mill designed for an output of 70,000 ounces of gold per annum for that location. The mill is located 110 km by road from Wayside's Cariboo Gold Project and proposed Bonanza Ledge Mine. Following a positive feasibility study in 1994, Kinross Gold Corp. constructed the QR Mill with capital costs estimated at over $40 million.

Cross Lake commenced operations at the QR Mine in 2007 -

- after spending over $34 million in the preceding 24 months

- on project acquisition ($4.3 million),

- exploration & development ($20 million)

- and refurbishing the mill facilities ($10.3).

- Cross Lake expended an additional $3 million on asset
retirement obligations, including having BC Hydro
bring three phase power to the project.

It is Wayside's objective to process material from its proposed Bonanza Ledge Mine at the QR Mill, in addition to recommencing operations at the QR Mine.

The Company initiated operations in the Cariboo District in 1994 and since that time has focused on the exploration and development of its gold properties. Mineral tenures in the Historic Cariboo Goldfields encompass approximately 1,065 square km (106,484 hectares) over a 60 km long by 20 km wide belt. In the Barkerville Gold Camp, 101 creeks have reported placer gold production. Recorded gold production from the area totals more than 3.8 million ounces, including an estimated 2.64 million ounces from placer mining and 1.23 million ounces from lode mining.

Auguries—Treason of the Clerks
June 28, 2012
By Kevin Michael Grace

Gold was down (at press time) $12.40 (-0.8%) for the week to $1,552.10, and silver was down
.65 (-2.4%) to $26.29. According to Reuters, gold is “acting more like a risk asset than a safe-haven investment…influenced by pessimistic expectations for a European Union summit that is unlikely to yield the magnitude of measures needed to tackle its debt crisis.”

Good old Reuters. At the Globe and Mail, Tim Kiladze mocks, “Here’s a simple question for the goldbugs: if their precious metal is such a safe haven, why hasn’t it shot up as the European debt crisis unravels?”

Updated: Barkerville climbs 50% on 10.6-million-oz. resource

2012-07-03

(bolded for emphasis)

VANCOUVER — Barkerville Gold Mines' (BGM-V) share price has climbed more than 50% since the company put out a 10.6-million-oz.-gold resource estimate for its Cow Mountain deposit, but questions remain as to the accuracy of the estimate.

The resource estimate in question, compiled by Geoex Ltd. president Peter T. George, establishes 62.6 million indicated tonnes grading 5.28 grams gold per tonne using a 0.86 gram cut-off for the project in central British Columbia.

On the day Barkerville released the news its share price almost doubled at one point, climbing 79¢ to a high of $1.60 before closing up 40¢ or 49% at $1.21 with 7.2 million shares traded. On July 3, the second day of trading following the news, the company’s share price again spiked, reaching as high as $1.67 before enthusiasm waned and the company closed up a penny at $1.22 with 11.3 million shares traded.

The new resource follows up on a 2006 estimate on the project by G. H. Giroux of Giroux Consultants that estimated Cow Mountain contained 6 million indicated tonnes grading 2.23 grams gold for 431,000 oz. gold, plus an inferred resource of 1.5 million tonnes grading 1.85 grams gold for a further 91,000 oz. gold, all using a 0.68 gram gold cut-off.

The huge jump in both the tonnage and grade has raised the suspicion of observers.

“It can’t go from half a million oz. at half the grade to 10 million oz. at twice the grade, you can’t do that, it doesn’t happen in reality,” said geologist Brent Cook of Exploration Insights in a phone interview. Cook said his initial reaction to the news was disbelief.

“It got me to pull out my copy of ‘Gold Today, Gone Tomorrow,’” Cook said of the book about the Bre-X scandal.

Quinton Hennigh, writing for Brent Cook’s Exploration Insights newsletter, raised numerous questions about the estimate. To giving a visualization of what the deposit would look like, he wrote:

“It is an order of magnitude richer per cubic meter than the Timmins Camp in Ontario. To support such a resource, the 1,000 by 300 by 300-meter block of ground at Barkerville’s Cow Mountain would have to host approximately 39 kilometers of Mother Lode type veins, at a density of one 2-meter wide vein spaced every 7.6 meters. This assumes each and every vein is consistently grading 5.28 grams per tonne gold along a 300 meter strike and 300 meter depth.”

Along with pointing out the dubious “quantum leap in size and grade” of the resource compared with the previous one, Hennigh also points out the oddity of the whole resource qualifying as indicated category with no inferred, that a single drill hole in a 100-ft.-horizontal by 50-ft.-vertical ellipse qualifies the block as ore, that the company has employed ‘extreme grade smearing’, and that the company has released far too little data overall.

For instance, the 2006 resource was based on 366 diamond and percussion drill holes completed between 1980 and 1998, and the company looks to have drilled about 238 drill holes between 2007 and 2011. Barkerville, however, states that a total of 2,638 drill holes have now been drilled on Cow Mountain totalling 145,600 metres of drilling, without providing the source of all those drill holes nor the assay results.

Looking beyond the Cow Mountain resource, the Geoex study also took the unusual step of putting out the ‘geological potential’ of the 6.4-km-long trend on which Cow Mountain falls. Based on 10% of the company's tenure, including the Cow Mountain, Island Mountain, and Barkerville Mountain areas, the Geoex report states there could be between 367 million tonnes and 621 million tonnes grading between 4.11 grams gold and 5.49 grams gold. That would mean the company could theoretically be sitting on between 65 million and 90 million oz. gold.

“It’s impossible, period,” was Cook’s reaction to the 90 million oz. figure. Even for the Cow Mountain resource itself, Cook pointed out the challenge of achieving such high numbers.
“This is a narrow, high-grade vein district. From the cross-sections we’ve seen, you have a real hard time connecting the veins. Continuity is a real real problem there,” Cook said.

Geologically the project is underlain by the Barkerville terrane, which is part of the Omineca belt of the Canadian Cordillera. Barkerville reports that gold mineralization occurs as quartz veins located in shear-type and tension-type fractures in lithologies more brittle than the surrounding lithologies, and as disseminated sulphide zones localized in the nose of secondary local fold structures that have the same northwesterly plunge as the regional, orogeny-related, asymmetrical, overturned, isoclinal fold structures.

Peter George has already been rebuked once for an overly-optimistic resource estimate, with the British Columbia Securities Commission forcing Rubion Minerals (RMX-V) in March 2011 to re-state an estimate prepared by George.

Shareholder Update on Cariboo Gold Project

Vancouver, British Columbia, March 1, 2012 - Barkerville Gold Mines (TSXV:BGM) (Frankfurt:1WUB) has issued an update to shareholders. The report summarizes the 2011 activities on its Cariboo Gold Project near Wells in central British Columbia, where the company has been active since the mid 1990s.

InvestmentPitch.com has produced a "video news alert" based on this information. If this link is not enabled, please visit www.InvestmentPitch.com and enter "Barkerville1217" in the search box. Please refer to the full news release for more information.

During the period 1935 to 2011, a total of 7,183 drill holes, measuring 347,000 metres have been drilled on the Cariboo Gold Project.

The company will be accumulating all this data in preparation of an updated NI 43-101 resource estimation the company has commissioned for the Gold Quartz proposed open pit mine on Cow Mountain and to begin preparations for mining operations at its Bonanza Ledge open pit mine on the southwest flank of Barkerville Mountain.

During 2011, the company completed 238 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 58,000 metres, on both Barkerville and Cow Mountains, with assays still pending on 33 drill holes. 167 of these holes, totalling 43,000 metres were conducted on Cow Mountain to explore for gold in and around the proposed open pit. This resulted in the discovery of 3 new gold vein zones.

Another 29 drill holes, totalling 9,000 metres targeted the BC Vein on Barkerville Mountain. Most of these drill holes returned promising intercepts of pyrite and quartz veins. In addition, 16 holes totalling 1,900 metres followed up a new zone on Barkerville Mountain discovered by trenching. The remaining 26 holes on both Barkerville and Cow Mountains will be used to monitor water before and during mining.

Other highlights of the year include the acquisition of several properties within its 65 kilometre long gold belt, the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Mosquito agreement and the purchase of the 3% net smelter return. An approximately 3 kilometre long exploration road was built in the Grouse Creek area and two drill pads were completed along the road. Construction of the haul road connecting the Bonanza Ledge gold mine and Barkerville Highway 26 was also completed.

The company's mineral tenures now cover more than 117,000 hectares, encompassing 7 past producing hard rock mines and 3 NI 43-101 gold deposits, including the QR Mine and Mill.

The company began pouring doré gold in September 2010, becoming Canada's newest gold producer, and continued until December 2011.

Barkerville is currently trading at $0.80 and with 107 million shares outstanding, is capitalized at approximately $86 million.

Sorry for the late response I just read your post. The best place to go for answers is http://tmx.quotemedia.com/quote.php?qm_symbol=bgm

Nothing has changed here and if you are buying at these prices you will be very happy. Like all miners we have been hit pretty hard but everything is good and when investors start buying mining shares again this is a good place to have your money.

If you haven't yet already, go to jsminest.com and listen to the latest interview with Jim Sinclair. All your worries will go away.

The NQ & NQ2-size drill core was cut/split in two halves using saws and a splitter at the Company's Lowhee Creek Compound in Wells-Barkerville, central B.C. One-half of the core is put in a sample bag. After all the samples are placed in the rice bags at the mine site, they are transported by BGM's personnel to a shipping company in Quesnel for trans-shipment to ALS Minerals in North Vancouver and Inspectorate Exploration & Services Ltd. in Richmond, B.C. for analysis. Sample preparation and geochemical assaying is done at ALS and Inspectorate Labs respectively, following their own internal standards for quality control and verification. The gold assaying method uses a standard fire assay with AA finish and a metallic gold assay for those samples with visible gold. Both ALS and Inspectorate are certified under the Assayers Certification Program of B.C.

Good day everyone.... Need answers....

What sparked barkerville to rise to $2.25 a share in 2001 feb-july ?

Was it just news, or share holer hype ? was it they actually mined, or drilled or purchased new property, or mergered, or ??? what made it rise,,, ? there must of been something that sparked the share price to climb ?
Was barkerville not a former company that changed names ?
What it the out look for this new claim they have approval to mine?
Does anyone see any difference from last year, to this year, and will the shares jump more so, even higher, based on this new mining venture with approval ot mine the barkerville mountain?

My concern is the limited time frame to run the operation of mining on a year around basis, due to the winter region its allocated in.

Appreciate any advice.. on these questions.. thanks

Barkerville Gold Mines Receives Provincial Government Approval for the Bonanza Ledge Gold Mine

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Dec 06, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. CA:BGM -7.14% (frankfurt:IWUB) (the "Company") is pleased to report it has received approval of Mines Act Permit M-238 to develop an open pit gold mine at its Bonanza Ledge property near Wells, British Columbia.

The Application, submitted to the B.C. Chief Inspector of Mines in accordance with Part 10.12 of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia in August 2010 was formally accepted for review on November 29, 2010. The proposal was reviewed by strategic provincial and federal government agencies, with coordination by the B.C. Ministry of Mines Kamloops office and subsequently by the Chief Inspector's office in Victoria, B.C.

Approximately 73,000 tonnes of ore per year will be produced at the Bonanza Ledge Mine, for a current mine life of four (4) years. The average grade is approximately 9.05 grams per metric tonne (or approximately 0.264 ounces per short ton). The mine design is the culmination of geological exploration, engineering and environmental studies undertaken by the Company in the Barkerville camp since the Bonanza Ledge deposit was discovered in 2000. This work included the extraction of a 10,000 tonne underground bulk sample at Bonanza Ledge in 2004 containing approximately 7,000 ounces of gold.

Frank Callaghan, president and CEO of the Company said: "Approval of the Bonanza Ledge Gold Mine is a major accomplishment for Barkerville Gold Mines in its close to twenty years of exploration in the region. The company has invested its resources in the development of the property and the QR mill, and it's great to see this project come to fruition.

This will mean a lot to the residents of Wells, Quesnel and the Lhtako Dene Nation. It has been a joint effort to make this work with such a small environmental footprint, and the Company is excited to begin development of the mine."

The mine site is on the southwest face of Barkerville Mountain at an elevation of approximately 1,480 m (4850') above sea level and within roughly two kilometers of Highway 26. Existing access is in place to truck the mineralized material to the company's permitted QR Mill, near Quesnel, B.C. for processing to gold dore.

Community and First Nations consultation has taken place on the mine proposal over several years leading up to the Application, and feedback has been incorporated in aspects of the project design. A Memorandum of Understanding is in place between the Company and the Lhtako Dene First Nation providing for continued close cooperation and benefits related to development of the Company's projects in the Cariboo region.

Ian Gordon: Hedging With Gold Against Imminent Economic Collapse
Source: George Mack of The Gold Report (10/10/11)

(IG favorite stock is BGM.v- thanks Kewl2)

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/228429/20111010/gold-silver-precious-metals.htm

IG: Well, one that we like very, very much is Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (BGM:TSX.V). The reason we like the company is that it is in production. It's producing 25 thousand ounces (Koz.)/year of gold from its QR deposit in central British Columbia, Once it receive its permits to mine the Bonanza Ledge deposit, and that should be very soon, production will increase to 50 Koz. per annum. This makes the company very positive on a cash-flow basis. Barkerville is also finding and adding quite dramatically to its ounces in the ground position. It is going to bring in a second mill, and once that is permitted, production will rise to about 150 Koz./year. It is targeting 2013 for the second mill to be up and running.

TGR: Over the past 12 weeks, Barkerville is down 30%, and yet it still has a market cap of $100 million. It looks like shares have sufficient liquidity.

IG: I own a lot of it; it could be 30% of my stock portfolio.

TGR: So Barkerville would be your favorite?

IG: It's my favorite, but there are also others that I like an awful lot.

FWIW...Here's a well written and informative post off of SI..Thanks, czechmate.

http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=27637124

I've scratched my head so much on some of these deals that I'm balder then I was before. I don't know what they will need to get real respect.

I travelled to the BGM mine last week and got the full tour. What I saw was very impressive. In speaking with the head geologist I came away with the impression that this project will grow to +5 million oz. The high grade stuff they just announced actually connects two deposits on Cow Mountain. Cow Mountain alone should prove to be +3 million. This project is big.

They are pouring gold. I had the opportunity to witness a pour and hold a newly poured gold brick worth about $500,000. They anticipate starting to mine the Bonanza Ledge by November. This should take their production to more respectable numbers.

I even had a good talk with an excavator operator that has been building the roads and drill pads. He often hits exposed veins when he gets down to bedrock. This is a massive set of deposits.

In my opinion they need to get the mining permit for Bonanza Ledge and they need to get an updated resource calculation out. They are both long overdue. They've been announcing plenty of spectacular drill holes for a long time. These have almost become non events. Until they get the new resource calculation out they will be viewed as a sub 1 million oz deposit and until they get the new mining permit they will be considered a sub 25,000 oz producer.

I expect both of these soon and at that point if they don't get a re-evaluation much higher then I will have zero hair left on my head!
