Taku Gold Corp. ("Taku") (TSX VENTURE: TAK) is pleased to announce
final results from a preliminary deep auger-type, soil geochemical
survey completed over the 536-claim (11095ha) Sulphur property in
late May and early June 2011. The Sulphur property is located
approximately 45km southeast of Dawson City in the Klondike gold
camp of Yukon. The goal of the survey was to identify areas
prospective for detailed soil geochemical, prospecting and sampling
work.
A total of 2262 soil samples were collected along ridges and
spurs at 50m sample intervals. Three anomalous gold areas were
identified. The first area, located in the south-central part of
main block, shows a cluster of soil values above 15ppb Au with four
samples above 60ppb Au up to a maximum of 104ppb Au. The second
area, located in the north-central part of the main block, shows a
cluster of soil values above 15ppb Au with a maximum value of 67ppb
Au. The third area, located at the north end of the east block
shows a cluster of soil values above 15ppb Au with a maximum value
of 68ppb Au. This part of the property also shows consistently high
arsenic values up to a maximum of 246ppm As and consistently high
antimony values up to a maximum value of 9ppm. Three spot anomalies
scattered in the central part of the property were also identified
with values of 63, 73 and 107ppb Au. Distribution maps for gold,
arsenic and antimony values in soil will be posted on the website
shortly.
The gold values mentioned above are comparable to initial gold
values obtained on Taku's Rosebute property located some 35km
southwest of Sulphur (Taku Press Release - December 22, 2011). Taku
will continue work at Sulphur immediately with detailed soil
geochemical, prospecting and sampling work over the prospective
areas identified by the initial sampling with the goal of
generating trenching and drill targets.
"This is a good start to the 2011 exploration season. We are
very pleased to see values from Sulphur on par with Rosebute,"
comments Zak Dingsdale, President.
All soil samples were collected by Breakaway Exploration
Management Inc. 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
