Barker Minerals Ltd. announced to provide an update and to report drill results on the 2012 providence drilling program on its Black Bear project referred to on July 30, 2012 and September 21, 2012. The Black Bear project is 100% owned and is located 74 km northeast of Williams Lake, in the Cariboo region of British Columbia. The project has excellent access and infrastructure nearby. The drill program was undertaken to test for shallow extensions of the high grade silver, gold and lead vein mineralization exposed in outcrop. Three holes have been completed to date with BB12-06 drilled to a depth of 90.5 meters and BB12-07 to a depth of 309.14 meters and BB12-08 is at a depth of 340 meters. On July 30, 2012 Barker announced the initial gold and gold pathfinder elements on BB12-07 from an internal handheld XRF study. After careful consideration and in order to comply with timely disclosure rules
Barker chose to issue these results in advance of fire assay lab results as there were consistently high gold and gold pathfinder mineral readings.
