Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 12, 2026) -
Barksdale Resources
Corp.
(TSXV: BRO) (OTCQB: BRKCF) (FSE: 2NZ) ("
Barksdale
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to
announce that Alford Drilling has completed the first round of the Phase II drill program at the Sunnyside
Property in Southern Arizona. A total of 6,000 feet was completed in six holes utilizing two drill platforms
over the 20-day shift. Five of the six planned holes reached planned target depths, except for hole
SUN26-004R that encountered a strong clay zone and was terminated at 80 feet. Please see Table 1
below.
"The initial Phase II holes have tested the near surface copper mineralization identified by ASARCO's
"BB and TM" hole drill programs completed in the 1990s," said Barksdale CEO William Wulftange. "Drill
chip logging noted the presence of chalcopyrite, covellite and chalcocite in altered feldspar porphyry
within all four drill holes logged to date."

A total of 823 samples were sent to Skyline Assayers Inc. of Tucson, Arizona, for gold fire assay and
multielement ICP analysis. All samples were maintained in the Company's secure area prior to
shipment; custody was transferred to Skyline at site and then transported by Skyline direct to the
laboratory in Tucson.
QAQC Program
Barksdale's QA/QC program for drill samples involves insertion of certified reference material (CRM's)
prepared from similar deposit type material and purchased from an industry supplier into the sample
stream, collection of a drill duplicate sample for assay and insertion of known sterile or "blank" material
to be assayed. The total program adds up to 6% of additional samples to the assay program.
