Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 17, 2022) - Barksdale Resources Corp. (TSXV: BRO) (OTCQX: BRKCF) ("Barksdale" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Regal Resources Inc. ("Regal") has made a cash payment to Barksdale to fully repay its financial obligations.

In May 2021, Barksdale acquired two secured Regal loans from an arm's length third party for a purchase price of $1,725,000 (the "Regal Debt"), which consisted of $1,000,000 cash and 1,345,310 common shares of Barksdale valued at $0.54/share. The loans accrued interest at 12% per annum and were secured by a general security and pledge agreement over Regal's assets including provision for reimbursement of any legal expenses associated with enforcement actions. In total, Regal paid cash totalling $1,985,899.93 to the Company in full settlement of the Regal Debt including principal, accrued interest and legal expenses.

"Barksdale is very happy to have successfully, and profitably, exited our secured debt investment in Regal. The Company's acquisition of the Regal Debt was part of a broader effort by Barksdale last summer to acquire Regal and consolidate the Sunnyside project in Arizona at a value of $0.37 per Regal share. The Company's offer was subsequently rejected by Regal's shareholders. Regal's new management recently closed a secured debenture financing convertible into Regal units (one share and ½ warrant) at a price of $0.10/unit. Turning to Barksdale, we look forward to an exciting and productive 2022 as we push our portfolio of projects forward with the express goal of increasing value for our shareholders, which is our sole mission."

Barksdale and Regal will continue to move the Sunnyside project forward under the existing 2017 option agreement. The Company will utilize the proceeds from repayment of the Regal Debt for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Barksdale Resources Corp. is a base metal exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, B.C. focused on the acquisition, exploration and advancement of highly prospective base metal projects in North America. Barksdale is currently advancing the Sunnyside copper-zinc-lead-silver and San Antonio copper projects, both of which are in the Patagonia mining district of southern Arizona, as well as the San Javier copper-gold project in central Sonora, Mexico.
