INTRODUCTION

Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. has focused on the exploration and development of its gold projects in the Cariboo Goldfields in central British Columbia, Canada since 1994, terminus of the famous Cariboo Gold Rush. Bgm1.jpg

On February 2, 2010 Barkerville Gold announced the acquisition of the QR Mine and Mill and all of its associated assets and that mining operations had commenced. On September 8, 2010 the Company poured its first gold bar and achieved full gold production.


PROJECT IN HAND

Cariboo Gold Project, Central British Columbia Bgm2.jpg

Barkerville Gold's mineral tenures now cover over 1,147 square kilometers, encompassing seven past producing hard rock mines and three NI 43-101 gold deposits, including the QR Mine & Mill. The QR Property was acquired in February 2010 and includes a 900 tonne/day gold milling facility and a permitted gold mine located approximately 110 kilometers by highway and all-weather road from the Barkerville Gold Camp. Mining operations commenced at the QR West Zone in February 2011 and the Company began pouring gold dore bar in September 2010. Bgm3.jpg

Barkerville intends to pour dore bars every 6-7 days as full production from the QR Mine continues. It is the Company's objective to achieve 50,000 ounces of gold production in its first year operation from a combination of ore from the QR Mine and the proposed Bonanza Ledge open pit mine, currently in the final stages of permitting. Bgm4.jpg

The permitting of the Bonanza Ledge property should allow the Company to source addition mill-feed from its existing properties and raise the anticipated production goals for 2011 to 50,000 oz. In conjunction with gold production a number of aggressive drill programs have been initiated on the Company's Cariboo Gold Project with the goal of significantly expanding the existing 43-101 gold resources that have been identified to date.
