Barksdale Resources Corp. has announced plans to increase its ownership of the Sunnyside Project to 67.5%. The company has completed the necessary expenditures and drilling to maintain a 51% interest and is awaiting confirmation from Regal Resources to pay $1.0 million and release 5.0 million shares held in escrow. A fall drilling campaign is planned to test the Chalcocite Zone and underlying copper porphyry bodies, aiming to establish a mineral resource and complete 7,620 metres of drilling. This will fulfill Phase II earn-in requirements and increase ownership. The project is significant due to its proximity to South32's Taylor and Peake deposits. Additionally, Barksdale has transitioned to the OTCQB market in the U.S. due to not meeting OTCQX bid requirements.
