Tajiri Identifies Widespread Gold Mineralization at Yono with Peak Values in Auger Sampling up to 5.1 g/t Au

Executive Summary

• Tajiri Resources reports the first auger‑sampling results from its majority‑owned Yono Gold Project, revealing widespread gold anomalism with peak surface grades up to 5.1 g/t Au within a duricrust regolith.
• A 1.5 km “Ridgeline” anomaly (≈4 km strike total) and several additional targets (Ghanie West Extension, Splay, Tweener, High Road) together represent ~4.8 km of gold‑bearing structures adjacent to the ~8.9 Moz Oko Gold resources.
• The company will continue auger sampling, initiate trenching, and use results to prioritize drill targets for a future drilling program.

Key Details

• Sampling Coverage: Results received from ~60 % of planned hand‑auger grid (initial 400 × 50 m spacing, later infilled to 200 × 25 m).
• Peak Surface Grades: 5.1 g/t Au, 1.6 g/t Au and 1.3 g/t Au measured in the upper meter of duricrust regolith (Figure 1).
• Gold Anomalism Extent: Gold values of 10‑30 ppb Au across most of Yono; several zones exceed this background, comparable to anomalies overlying the adjacent Oko West Deposit (OKWD).
• Ridgeline Anomaly:
• Length ≈ 1.5 km within Yono, part of a larger ~4 km strike structure.
• Aligned with: (i) centre line of OMZ open‑pit resource, (ii) measured S2 foliation at OMZ, (iii) major magnetic contact, and (iv) nearby artisanal workings.
• Additional Targets:
• Ghanie West Extension – 780 m strike, 50‑100 ppb Au, adjacent to Ghanie West vein zone.
• The Splay – 580 m strike, peak auger values 5.1 g/t and 1.6 g/t Au; follows magnetic/high‑topographic lineaments.
• Tweener – 1,000 m strike, 30‑375 ppb Au, source of alluvial/colluvial gold workings in low‑magnetic zone between Ridgeline & High Road.
• High Road (Down‑dip extensions) – 950 m strike on GMining Ventures tenure; anomalous soils and shallow RC samples suggest deeper continuation.
• Total Strike Potential: ~4.8 km of identified gold‑bearing zones within/adjacent to Yono.
• Regolith Context: Majority of Yono covered by a 2‑4 m thick indurated duricrust; hand augers typically penetrated only 20‑60 cm, limiting depth but still yielding strong anomalous values despite expected leaching.
• Analytical Methodology: Hand auger samples (1‑4 kg) collected every vertical meter, assayed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish (LOD = 3 ppb Au) at Actlabs or MSALABS, Georgetown, Guyana; QA/QC procedures included blanks and field duplicates.
• Future Work: Additional auger results pending; initial trenching program underway; subsequent trenching to refine targets and develop a drill‑planning schedule.

Notable Quotes

“Today is very exciting for the Company… Yono can be seen to lie unequivocally within the same domain of gold enrichment that hosts nearly 9 million ounces… Considering all the facts … Yono's potential to host the next discovery in the developing Tier 1 Yono‑Oko gold district should not be underestimated.” – Dominic O'Sullivan, Executive Chairman
