After all results have been received Barton will then prepare comprehensive and representative cross sections of assay results. Full details can be accessed in the complete announcement on the ASX website or directly by clicking here.Commenting on the new Tunkillia assay results, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:"Tunkillia's 'Phase 2' drilling was expanded after early analysis of infill assays identified a potential new domain of high-grade mineralisation within its 'Starter Pit' outlines. These 'S1' and 'S2' pits drive Tunkillia's robust economics, and are modelled to yield a A$1.8bn operating profit during the first 2.5 years alone at current gold and silver prices."Given that the average grade driving these economics in the 'Starter Pits' is 1.05 g/t Au, the new assays are exceptional. Such mineralisation could materially boost Tunkillia's already remarkable early operating economics. We are very much looking forward to the balance of outstanding assay results, the majority of which are targeting this potential."We expect to report one final batch of assays shortly, and look forward to sharing Mineral Resources upgrades for both gold and silver in the coming months before completing our PFS and submitting our Mining Lease application."Authorised by the Managing Director of Barton Gold Holdings Limited.For further information, please contact:Alexander ScanlonManaging Directora.scanlon@bartongold.com.au+61 425 226 649Jade CookCompany Secretarycosec@bartongold.com.au+61 8 9322 1587About Barton GoldBarton Gold is an ASX, OTCQB and Frankfurt Stock Exchange listed Australian gold developer targeting future gold production of 150,000ozpa with 2.2Moz Au & 3.1Moz Ag JORC Mineral Resources (79.9Mt @ 0.87g/t Au), brownfield mines, and 100% ownership of the region's only gold mill in the renowned Gawler Craton of South Australia.*Challenger Gold Project313koz Au + fully permitted Central Gawler Mill (CGM)Tarcoola Gold Project20koz Au in fully permitted open pit mine near CGMTolmer discovery grades up to 84g/t Au & 17,600g/t AgTunkillia Gold Project1.6Moz Au & 3.1Moz Ag JORC Mineral ResourcesCompetitive 120kozpa gold & 250kozpa silver projectWudinna Gold Project279koz Au project located southeast of TunkilliaSignificant optionality, adjacent to main highway Competent Persons Statement & Previously Reported InformationThe information in this announcement that relates to the historic Exploration Results and Mineral Resources as listed in the table below is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by the Competent Person whose name appears in the same row, who is an employee of or independent consultant to the Company and is a Member or Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM), Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) or a Recognised Professional Organisation (RPO).
