BARKER DISCOVERS BEDROCK MASSIVE SULPHIDE MINERALIZATION ON ROLLIE PROJECT

Barker Minerals Ltd.'s prospecting has resulted in a new discovery of massive sulphides in bedrock on the Rollie massive sulphide project. The new discovery is located approximately 400 metres north of the Unlikely bedrock besshi-type massive sulphide showing which is in the Rollie project area and is on strike to the Frank Creek project to the southeast a few kilometres. The Frank Creek project is highly prospective for the discovery of sedex, or besshi-style massive sulphide mineralization as indicated from prior geological studies and programs.

The new massive sulphide discovery and the Unlikely besshi showing in the Rollie Creek project area are located on the southwestern side of Cariboo Lake. The new massive sulphide mineralization is exposed over a 0.8-metre width in outcrop and consists of massive pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite. A sample has been sent for assay to characterize the mineralization and samples will also be taken for petrographical analyses to be conducted by Dr. Tim Barrett of Ore Systems Consultants for continuing geological studies.

The Unlikely besshi-type showing contains disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralization hosted by variably altered clastic sedimentary rocks of the Harveys Ridge formation. The geology here is similar to that at the Frank Creek property to the southeast across Cariboo Lake.
