Barsele Minerals Corp. (TSX.V: BME) (“Barsele”) is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company whose sole asset is the advanced-stage Barsele Gold Project, a joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX, NYSE: AEM) (“Agnico Eagle”).

The Barsele Project is situated in the mining region of Västerbottens Län, Northern Sweden, 600 km north of Stockholm and covers 33,500 hectares in the Fennoscandian Shield. The Barsele Project is located on the western end of the Proterozoic “Skellefte Trend”, a prolific volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits belt, that intersects with the “Gold Line” in Northern Sweden. Both polymetallic “VMS” deposits and intrusive hosted “Orogenic gold” deposits are present in this region and on this property. Current and past producers in the region include Boliden, Kristineberg, Bjorkdal, Svartliden and Storliden. Barsele Minerals' management team is part of the Belcarra Group, an organization comprised of industry professionals in the mining industry, and the same team recognized for the discovery of Orko Silver's La Preciosa Silver-Gold Deposit in Durango, Mexico, which was subsequently sold to Coeur Mining Inc.
