Taku Gold Corp. (the "Taku") (TSX VENTURE: TAK) is pleased to
announce results from deep auger-type, soil geochemical surveys and
airborne geophysical surveys completed over the 474-claim (9812ha)
Rosebute and 451-claim (9336ha) Dan properties in mid-September to
late October 2010. The properties are located approximately 55km
due south of Dawson City in the White Gold area of Yukon. The goal
of the surveys was to identify anomalous gold-in-soil trends that
may be related to gold-bearing structures similar to Kinross's
White Gold deposit located approximately 40km due south and
Kinross's JP Ross project located approximately 5km due east.
On the Rosebute property, 5158 soil samples were collected on
two grids based on 50m sample intervals on lines spaced
approximately 100m apart, and 1107 line kilometers of airborne
geophysical readings were collected. Excellent geochemical results
were obtained from the first grid located in the northwestern part
of the property and an anomalous area approximately 550ha in size
was identified. Within this area there are three distinct, east
trending linear anomalies. The first anomaly is well defined over
2200m and shows maximum values up to 201ppb Au. The second anomaly
is well defined over 400m long and shows maximum values up to 84ppb
Au. The third anomaly is intermittently defined over 1100m and
shows maximum values up to 155ppb Au. These three east- trending
geochemical features all appear to crosscut the regional geological
fabric that, as indicated by the airborne magnetic data, is
generally northwesterly. The second grid, covering roughly 1500ha
in the central part of the property, returned only a few individual
anomalous values.
On the Dan property, 2316 soil samples were collected on one
main grid and three smaller grids based on 50m sample intervals on
lines spaced approximately 100m apart, and 1091 line kilometers of
airborne geophysical readings were collected. The Dan property
covers approximately 27km of a prospective, well-defined, linear,
thrust fault system that is the possible northern extension of the
gold-bearing structure found on Kinross's JP Ross property located
5km southwest. The soil sampling was focused on the northwestern
part of the property where the thrust fault system appears to be
more complex according to the airborne magnetic data. The soil
geochemical results were generally low with two significant results
of 115ppb and 212ppbAu. Although these two values occur on the
thrust fault as indicated by the airborne magnetic data, no
gold-in-soil trends were defined by the soil sampling.
In summary, a strongly anomalous gold zone roughly 550ha in area
has been identified in the northwestern part of the Rosebute
property with three clearly defined linear gold trends. Soil
sampling in the central part of the property returned several spot
anomalies but generally is less prospective for gold
mineralization. Roughly 60% of the property was not covered by the
soil sampling work in 2010 and remains to be tested. The soil
sample results from the Dan property did not outline any gold
trends. However, 18km of the prospective thrust fault system was
not covered by the soil sampling work in 2010 and remains to be
tested.
"We are very excited about the size and grade of the gold zone
outlined by the soil sample results in the northwestern part of the
Rosebute property. This will be one of our main targets next year
for detailed soil sampling and trenching with the goal of
developing some solid drill targets," comments Zak Dingsdale,
President.
The multi-sensor airborne geophysical surveys were completed by
Precision Geosurveys Inc. of Vancouver, British Columbia with a
helicopter flying grid lines at 100 meter line spacing. A high
resolution magnetometer system was used to assist in interpreting
bedrock units, structure, and alteration. A radiometric system
consisting of a multichannel spectrometer with state-of-the-art
design and large gamma ray sensing crystals was used to map
lithologies and alteration.
All soil samples were collected by Ground Truth Exploration Inc.
of Dawson City, Yukon. All analytical work was completed at Acme
Analytical Laboratories Ltd. ("Acme") in Vancouver, British
Columbia. Acme is accredited under ISO 9001. Soil samples were
prepared by drying and sieving 100g to -80 mesh, and then analyzed
for 36 elements (including gold) by 15 gram Aqua Regia digestion,
ICP-MS finish. Mark Fekete, P.Geo is the designated "qualified
