- Barry
Drilling at Barry focused on the extension of the H1 Zone on the western limit of the deposit. Hole MB-19-218 intersected 12.7 g/t Au over 1.8 meters in mineralized shear zone extending H1 Zone more than 50 meters to the west. Drill hole MB-19-216 extended H1 zone by more than 100 meters at depth intersecting 11.6 g/t Au over 2.9 m. Hole MB-19-219 also intersected the H1 zone at depth with 4.9 g/t Au over 4.1 m.

Bonterra continues its summer drilling campaign at the Urban Barry Camp with two drill rigs at Moroy, one at Barry and one at Gladiator. The Company will shortly mobilize an additional mobile heli-portable diamond drill rig to drill-test regional exploration targets on the Gladiator Project.

*Stated lengths are core lengths as drilled. True mineralization widths vary and average between 60 and 80 percent drilled widths. Core axis angles of the intersection contacts and surrounding rock units average 55 to 70 degrees.
Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
Bonterra estimates that the actual thicknesses of the mineralized intersections are between 60% and 80% of the core lengths. No capping grade is used at this stage. The Company uses a rigorous QA-QC analytical program according to industry standards. The analytical results were done by pyroanalysis (A.A.) at the mine laboratory. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. The company's QA-QC analytical verification program requires that a minimum of 5% of the samples be audited at an independent laboratory. These audit assays were sent to ALS laboratory located in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The results of the audits are consistent with those obtained.
