Vancouver, British Columbia: Barrian Mining Corp. (“Barrian” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: BARI, OTCQB: BARRF, FSE: BM5) is pleased to provide an update on its drill program at the Bolo Gold-Silver Project. To date, six Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes totaling 1,240 meters have been completed. Samples from all six holes have been sent to ALS Global for multi-element geochemical and gold fire assay analysis. The program remains on budget and on schedule. An additional +500 meters in drilling is anticipated over the coming week(s) to complete the program goal of extending the strike length and depth extent of gold mineralization at Bolo.
Qualitative hand-held portable X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis of RC drill samples has confirmed the presence of pathfinder elements that are a potential indicator of the presence of gold and silver. In particular, elevated arsenic values, which historically correlate well with gold mineralization at Bolo, have been identified within current drill samples cutting the downward projection modelled gold zones. Portable XRF analysis has proven to be a valuable tool in rapidly identifying, in conjunction with chip and sample colour logging, the presence of potential mineralization providing the exploration team with the flexibly to adjust drilling priority in real-time.
Maximilian Sali, CEO and Founder comments “With six holes sent to the lab for analysis the drill program is more than halfway complete with no major issues and staying on budget. The geological crew at APEX and the drillers at New Frontier drilling have executed professional work with indications that drilling has intersected mineralization. Bolo has many Carlin type characteristics and is located in an under-explored area of Nevada. The RC drill samples sent for assay are displaying encouraging signs of mineralization.”

Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.
