Gunsynd (GUN) has expanded its Barb Gold Project in Manitoba, Canada, after securing an additional 256-hectare claim through staking at nominal cost.
The new claim increases the project's total landholding to ~6,946 hectares across 38 claims. All claims have now been transferred to Gunsynd's wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, 1572340 B.C. Ltd.
The newly acquired ground immediately adjoins the Denver prospect and is close to Lotus, where grab samples collected earlier this year returned gold grades of up to 489 grams per tonne.
The expanded landholding will allow Gunsynd to assess the newly secured ground alongside Denver as it plans further exploration across the project.
Gunsynd's Executive Director Hamish Harris said: “The new claim brings ground immediately adjoining Denver into the Barb project. It is also close to Lotus, where grab samples collected earlier this year returned up to 489 g/t gold. Bringing this ground under common ownership allows us to assess it alongside Denver as we plan follow-up exploration.”

The additional claim strengthens Gunsynd's position around the Denver and Lotus prospects at minimal cost. With previous sampling at Lotus returning exceptionally high gold grades, the expanded landholding provides further exploration opportunities as Gunsynd works to assess the project's wider gold potential.
