Berkwood Extends Discovery Trend and Finds New Zone at Prospect Valley Gold Property
Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSIRE / September 3, 2014 / Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR) (the "Company" or "Berkwood") is pleased to announce that field crews have outlined a new anomalous geophysical zone and found indications of new epithermal mineralization during a recently completed ground magnetics program on its 100% owned Prospect Valley Gold Property located 30 kilometers southwest of Merritt, British Columbia.
The majority of historical drilling on the Prospect Valley property has taken place in the centre of the claim block, along the Discovery Trend. This drilling outlined an extensive low grade epithermal gold system with indications of potential for additional and higher grade mineralization, and it remains open for expansion (see Berkwood news release dated January 25, 2012 for details). Results of the recent ground magnetics geophysical survey suggest that the Discovery Trend continues a further 1200m to the south of the previous work into an area that is largely hidden by overburden cover. The geophysical program consisted of 21 lines varying in lengths of 700 meters to 900 meters and was surveyed with readings taken along the lines at 12.5 meter stations.
Prospecting was carried out concurrently with the geophysical survey and despite the extensive overburden cover, an area of scattered epithermal-textured quartz-chalcedony veins was discovered in bedrock and overburden boulders along this new geophysical trend. This new area has been named the QCA Zone. Assays from initial samples collected are pending.
Berkwood has planned a program of geological mapping, hand trenching and sampling in the new QCA Zone to delineate the zone on surface, as well as additional ground magnetics surveying to infill and extend the current geophysical grid.
Brian Buchanan, President and CEO of Berkwood states: "The success of this recent fieldwork is significant, not only because the planned ground geophysics suggests the Discovery Trend continues so far to the south, but also because the discovery of the QCA Zone expands the size of the mineralizing system. We look forward to further advancing these targets during this field season"

About Berkwood Resources:
In addition to the Prospect Valley Gold Project, Berkwood has an option to earn a 100%-interest in the recently acquired 5,788 ha Lac Gueret South Graphite Property, located in northeastern Quebec. The Lac Gueret South Graphite Property borders the southern boundary of Mason Graphite's Lac Gueret Project which has a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate with measured & indicated mineral resources of 50 million tonnes grading 15.6% Cgr (including 6.6 million tonnes grading 32.4% Cgr). Berkwood also holds a 100% interest in the Lac Gueret East Graphite Property which is adjacent to the eastern boundary of Mason Graphite's Lac Gueret Property. Berkwood's Lac Gueret East and South Graphite Properties share a similar geological environment to Mason Graphite`s Lac Gueret Property including along strike stratigraphic units and structures.
