Barksdale Acquires Historic Sunnyside Drill Core

VANCOUVER, October 30, 2020 - Barksdale Resources Corp. ("Barksdale" or the "Company") (TSXV:BRO)(OTCQB:BRKCF) is pleased to announce that it has executed an agreement to acquire historic diamond drill core from ASARCO Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo Mexico, in exchange for 25,000 common shares of Barksdale.

ASARCO controlled portions of the Sunnyside property between the 1940's and early 2000's and, over that time period, conducted several exploration drilling programs that focused on exploring for near-surface copper targets such as supergene blankets and breccia pipes as well as deeper porphyry and skarn mineralization. While Barksdale currently has a significant inventory of historic drill cores at its storage facility near Patagonia, Arizona, at least 6,000 meters (~20,000 ft) of remaining drill cores that were completed by ASARCO are currently stored at the Mission copper mine in Arizona. Barksdale will provide a full inventory of the acquired drill cores once they are safely moved to the Company's core storage facilities. Closing of the acquisition is anticipated to take place on or about November 2, 2020.

Technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Lewis Teal, senior consultant to the company and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.

Barksdale Resources Corp. is a base metal exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, BC, that is focused on the acquisition, exploration and advancement of highly prospective base metal projects in North America. Barksdale is currently advancing the Sunnyside copper-zinc-lead-silver and San Antonio copper projects, both of which are in Patagonia mining district of southern Arizona, as well as the San Javier copper-gold project in central Sonora, Mexico.
