Barisan Gold Intersects 104 Metres of 1.0% Copper + 0.7g/t Gold (1.4% Copper Equivalent) Within 212 Metres 0.8% Copper + 0.6g/t Gold (1.1% Copper Equivalent)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 23, 2014) - Barisan Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BG) is pleased to announce the first tranche of assay results for hole UTD-008 at its Upper Tengkereng gold-copper porphyry discovery, located in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia.
Assays have been received from the first 400 metres of hole UTD-008. Hole UTD-008 is being drilled parallel to UTD-002 but in an opposite direction, scissor crossing that hole, with the objective of expanding and further defining the second high grade zone discovered in holes UTD-002 and UTD-006. UTD-008 is mineralized 4 metres from surface. From 296 to 400 metres, UTD-008 returned 104 metres of 0.7 g/t gold + 1.0% copper (1.4% copper equivalent at current market prices) within a wider intercept of 212 metres of 0.6 g/t gold + 0.8% copper (1.1% copper equivalent at current market prices). The high-grade mineralization remains open down hole at a depth below 400 metres.
