Berkwood Resources
Ltd. (TSX.V:BKR) ("Berkwood" or "the Company"), is pleased to
announce that it has acquired, through staking, additional
contiguous ground immediately to the north of its Lac Gueret East
Graphite property located in northeastern Quebec. The newly
acquired claims will be added to the current 59 contiguous claim
(3,186 ha) Lac Gueret East Graphite Property where during the fall
2012 exploration program the first Graphite bearing zone on the
Property was discovered.
The newly acquired
claims comprise 4 blocks, (216 ha total) located to the north, and
adjacent to the original Lac Gueret East Graphite property
(see appended maps
http://www.berkwoodresources.com/lac-gueret-maps.html).
The claims cover a reported (MRNQ, 2013_031) graphite showing
discovered in 2011 during geological mapping by Geologie Quebec
government geologists. They describe the showing as a metre-thick,
graphite paragneiss interlayered with calc-silicates and pyroxenite
in a graphite-garnet paragneiss. The graphite mineralization is
described as massive with elevated Cgr (Carbon as Graphite)
values.
Brian Buchanan,
President and Director of Berkwood commented: "We are pleased to have enhanced our evolving
graphite exploration property east of the significant Mason
Graphite discoveries. This area of Quebec is known for high purity,
large flake graphite and has been identified as an ideal geological
setting towards achieving our graphite exploration
goals."
About Lac Gueret East Graphite
Property
Berkwood's
3402 Ha Lac
Gueret East Graphite Property borders the eastern boundary of Mason Graphite's advanced Lac Gueret Property which
has a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate with measured
& indicated mineral resources of approximately 7.6 million
tonnes grading 20.40% Cgr. Berkwood's Lac Gueret East Graphite
Property shares a similar
geological environment as Mason Graphite's Lac Gueret Property
including along strike stratigraphic units and structures. Graphite
in the vicinity ranges from 3% to 40% Cgr, exhibiting flakes up to
5 mm in diameter.
Berkwood
commenced a phase 1 fieldwork program on the Lac Gueret East Property in October 2012 with
the objective to delineate prospective graphite zones.
During prospecting the first graphite
bearing zone on the Property was discovered. The graphite bearing
zone, which is traceable at surface extends a minimum of 55 metres,
has a mean true width of 4-5 metres and trends northeast. A phase 2
work program is planned, with proposals for an airborne
electromagnetic survey, surface work follow up, stripping and trenching, with the
objective of generating targets for drill testing
(see Berkwood news
release dated September 27, 2012
for details).
