("Barranco" or the "Company") (CSE: BAR) is pleased to report results from its initial rock sampling program conducted at the 100%-owned King Property, located approximately 50 km south of Merritt, British Columbia, in the Quesnel Terrane. The King Property consists of nine contiguous mineral claims covering 3,456 hectares. The Company's field team collected a total of 31 rock samples (grab and chip) from outcrops, float material, and altered zones across structurally controlled targets identified within the Main and Central Grid areas.
