Barkerville Gold Mines Reports That a New Gold Mineralized Zone Was Discovered by

Drill Holes Conducted on Cow Mountain in 2014

October 21, 2014
Vancouver, BC -- Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: BGM) (the "Company") announced today that a new gold mineralized zone was discovered by four of the ten Diamond drill holes conducted on Cow Mountain between June 20 and August 13, 2014; namely CM14-07, 08, 09 and 10.
The new zone, which is outside of the previously proposed open pit and about 570 meters (1,875 feet) to the mine grid southeast from the center of the proposed open pit, runs 110 degrees to the local mine grid. The controlled length of the zone via four Diamond drill holes on two set-ups is approximately 34.3 meters (112.5 feet). The intercepted width of the new zone varies between 10.0 and 18.3 meters and its grade varies between 1.401 and 3.459 g/T gold (Table 1).
The new zone which is located at the Rainbow 3, Rainbow 4 contact and close to the Rainbow, BC, Lowhee contact, is a combination of both the quartz-pyrite vein and replacement styles of mineralization.
The new zone confirms the existence of the W ells Trend, a soil geochemical anomaly found in
2000 after a large-scale soil sampling program in the area.
The 2014 Diamond drill program conducted on Cow Mountain included a total of 4,142.3 meters (13,590.0 feet) in 10 surface Diamond drill holes.
The objective of the 2014 drill program is to gain a better understanding of the potential of both the Baker, Rainbow Contact and the Rainbow, BC Argillite, Lowhee Contact. The first six drill holes were collared on two drill pads at the Baker, Rainbow Contact, which was on a drill gap at the mine grid northeast border of the proposed open pit. All six drill holes cut into weak replacement pyrite mineralization hosted mainly in strongly calcareous chlorite phyllite and quartzite with minor marble bands locally, though the assay results of these samples were not encouraging, likely due to the existence of pyrrhotite. These drill holes did intercept pyrite- quartz veins bearing gold (Table 1).

All significant intercepts from CM14 drill holes described above may not be the true widths. Due to the complexity and variety of quartz veins, namely strike, diagonal and orthogonal veins, and limited Diamond drill holes, the true widths will be determined after additional drill holes are conducted and the 3D geological model is completed.
Drill core processing includes descriptive logging and sampling for geochemical analyses. The NQ-size drill core was cut in two halves using saws at the Company's Lowhee Creek Compound in W ells-Barkerville, central B.C. One half of the core was put in a sample bag. After all of the samples were placed in rice bags at the mine site, they were transported by BGM's personnel to a shipping company in Quesnel for trans -shipment to ACME Labs in Vancouver, B.C. for analysis. Sample preparation and geochemic al assaying was done at ACME, following their own internal standards for quality control and verification. The gold assaying method uses a 50 grams lead collection/gravimetric fire assay with AAS finish. ACME is certified under the Assayers Certification Program of B.C.
The technical information in this News Release has been reviewed and approved by Chief
Geologist Jim Yin, PhD, P.Geo, a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

The Board would like to thank its shareholders for their ongoing support.
