Barrian Mining Drills 12.2 Metres of 2.37 g/t Gold Oxide at South Mine Fault Zone and Extends Mineralization at Depth

VANCOUVER, Nov. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Barrian Mining Corp. ("Barrian" or the "Company") (TSX-V: BARI, OTCQB: BARRF, FSE: BM5) is pleased to report analytical results for the remaining drill holes from the recently completed 1,838 metre reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its flagship Bolo Gold-Silver Project. Hole BL19-03, located in the South Mine Fault Zone, intersected 2.37 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 12.2 metres within a broader envelope of mineralization averaging 0.81 g/t gold over 65.5 metres¹. These intercepts expand gold mineralization approximately 40 to 50 metres vertically below the previous drilling (Figure 1) and indicates gold mineralization remains open below 150 metres vertical depth on section. The remaining unreported 2019 Bolo drill holes intersected narrow zones of grade gold and/or silver mineralization in step-outs at the South Mine Fault Zone and Uncle Sam Prospect (Table 1).

Maximilian Sali, CEO and Co-Founder comments, "We are delighted with the outcome of our first drilling campaign at Bolo. Mineralization was encountered in each hole, including multiple intercepts producing exceptional gold grade and width for a Carlin-type mineralization in Nevada. The results from the 2019 program demonstrate the tremendous potential for new discoveries at Bolo, both at depth in the known zones and along strike."

The combined 2019 and historical RC drilling at Bolo defines a 1.2 kilometer north-south trending corridor of gold-silver mineralization containing the South Mine Fault Zone, Uncle Sam, and Northeast Extension zones. Gold mineralization at Bolo exhibits characteristics of classic Carlin-type mineralization, including strong subvertical structural control in addition to evidence of gold mineralization extending laterally at low angles within favorable silty carbonate units.   The relatively untested 500 metre strike length South Mine Fault-Uncle Sam segment is particularly prospective and is expected to be the main focus of Barrian's 2020 exploration in an effort to prove-out emerging structural and stratigraphic gold targets within the zone (Figure 2).

Hole BL19-03 (-50° dip / 270 azimuth) was drilled in the South Mine Fault Zone approximately 30 metres south of hole BL19-02 (see Barrian's news release dated October 21, 2019) and 30 metres north of hole BL19-04 (see Barrian's news release dated October 23, 2019) targeting the down-dip extension of previous intercepts drilled by Columbus Gold (later spun-out to Allegiant Gold Ltd.) from hole BL-23, comprising 1.60 g/t Au over 50.3 m, including 4.42 g/t Au over 6.1 m and 4.45 g/t Au over 4.6 m¹. BL19-03 intersected oxide gold mineralization 40 to 50 metres vertically below BL-23 within variably altered (silicified and/or oxidized) siliceous siltstones and cherty, silty limestones within the hanging wall Cambrian Windfall Formation and silty dolomites of the Silurian Roberts Mountain Formation.

Holes BL19-05 (-50° dip / 270 azimuth) and BL19-06 (-45° dip / 270 azimuth) were collared in an area of sparse drilling in the southern part of the South Mine Fault Zone, approximately 65 metres and 30 metres south of hole BL19-04, respectively. Both holes intersected visibly altered (silicified and/or oxidized) near-surface zones of gold mineralization within siliceous siltstones and jasperoids of the Windfall Formation. Both holes also encountered deeper zones of silver mineralization, within dolomites of the Roberts Mountain Formation and Ordovician Hanson Creek Formation. Silver mineralization is associated with oxide alteration (+/- silicification) and quartz-carbonate veining, similar to Uncle Sam.

Hole BL19-07 (-45° dip / 300 azimuth) tested the northern strike extension of the South Mine Fault Zone. Visible alteration (silicification and oxidation) was encountered near surface in Windfall Formation siltstones and jasperoids, associated with low-grade gold and silver mineralization. Hole BL19-08 (-45° dip / 270 azimuth) was drilled between the South Mine Fault Zone and Northern Extension Zone. Sporadic oxidation (limonite) was observed; however, no significant gold or silver grades were returned.

Hole BL19-10 (-45° dip / 325 azimuth) was drilled at the Uncle Sam Prospect, targeting the northern extension of silver (+/- gold) mineralization. Similar to BL19-09, mineralization was encountered within visibly altered (silicified and oxidized) and highly quartz (+/- carbonate) veined limestones and dolomites of the Ordovician Antelope Valley Limestone unit. Hole BL19-10 intersected coincident low-grade gold and silver mineralization, comprising 24.2 g/t silver with 0.32 g/t gold over 21.3 metres, including 43.0 g/t silver with 0.52 g/t gold over 7.6 metres².

Methodology and QA/QC
The analytical work reported on herein was performed by ALS Global (ALS), Elko (sample preparation), Reno (gold fire assay) Nevada, and Vancouver (multi-element geochemistry) Canada. ALS is an ISO-IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited geoanalytical laboratory and is independent of the Barrian and the QP. RC drill samples were subject to crushing at a minimum of 70% passing 2 mm, followed by pulverizing of a 250 gram split to 85% passing 75 microns. Gold determination was via standard atomic absorption (AA) finish 30 gram fire-assay (FA) analysis, in addition to 48 element ICP-MS geochemistry. Barrian follows industry standard procedures for the work carried out on the Bolo Gold-Silver Project, with a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program. Blank, duplicate and standard samples were inserted into the sample sequence sent to the laboratory for analysis. Barrian detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data. Barrian is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
