- Flagship Sunnyside Property in Arizona is a 51%-49% joint venture between Barksdale Resources & Great Basin Metals covering 5,223 acres.
- Property adjoins South32’s Hermosa mine on N, S & E claim boundaries, with H2 2027 production start expected
- Planned 2026 Phase II 25,000-foot RC drill program in progress by Barksdale; once completed, will increase Barksdale’s ownership to 67.5%.
- Drill program will test targets including:
- Hypogene chalcocite targets and mid-level porphyry mineralization;
- Near-surface fracture study Cu-Au, Au and Ag-Pb-Zn targets;
- Near-surface CSAMT and NSAMT geophysics targets; and
- Near-surface extensions for the World’s Fair structure near Flux Canyon.
RC Drilling Program
- May 4th released results from first 4 holes of2026 RC drill program
- Broad zones of shallow, high-grade copper-zinc-silver mineralization hosted within the Chalcocite Zone of the Sunnyside Monzonite Porphyry
- Highlights of drilling include:
- 0.45% Cu over 393.19m in HoleSUN26-002R incl. 0.90% Cu over60.96m & 0.93% Cu over 60.96m
- 0.29% Cu over 454.15m in hole SUN26-001R incl. 0.95% Cu over 39.63m
- 0.64% Cu over 53.34m in hole SUN26-003R; and
- 0.12% Cu & 0.15% Zinc over 21.33m inhole SUN26-004R terminated at 24.38meters due to fault gauge.
- All holes ended in mineralization.
- Drilling planned on Upper Porphyry target

Actual holdings will vary for each client or fund and there is no guarantee that a particular account will hold any or all of the securities discussed. All investing involves risk including risk of loss. Crescat target resource estimates (TSE) are based on internal modeling and geologic estimates, and include various assumptions based on analysis of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, historic drill assays, and metallurgical recovery data received to date. TSE are discounted based on drilling progress to date, an assessment of the management and technical team's strengths and weaknesses affecting their ability to advance the project, and environmental, local community, and government permitting risk factors. Estimates are displayed on a gold equivalent basis based on current price-to-gold ratios for silver, copper, and other metals if the primary metal is other than gold. Further drilling, assaying, resource modeling, and engineering studies will be required to determine whether Crescat's TSE can be reasonably expected to be achieved. Crescat's target resource estimates are updated monthly across the entire portfolio. Sources: Crescat Capital LLC, Bloomberg, Issuer. Expected profitability percentile is based on Crescat's geologic estimates of projected grades, recoveries, capex, and operational costs on the primary project compared to the universe of operating mines. This value does not project overall anticipated company profitability.
