VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 12, 2012) - Tajiri Resources Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TAJ) is pleased to report that it has received preliminary results from its recently completed 2012 airborne geophysical survey on the OGK Copper Gold Property, Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia. In conjunction with the airborne survey a new claim group, termed the "Nova Block" has been added to the OGK Property proper, under the same terms as the original option agreement. The Nova Claim block is 8300 hectares in size and adjoins the original OGK Property to the northeast.
The OGK Property is located approximately 280 kilometers northwest of Prince George, British Columbia and is contiguous to the northern boundaries of the Lorraine Copper Project, where a joint venture between Vancouver based Teck Corp. and its Partner are continuing to develop a NI43-101 compliant inferred resource of 28 Mt at 0.45 % Cu and 0.20 g/t Au. The Company continues to evaluate the OGK Property and its potential for alkalic porphyry style Copper, Gold mineralization.
A Helicopter supported Airborne Geophysical Survey consisting of Magnetics, VLF/EM and Radiometric surveys conducted by Canadian Mining Geophysics Ltd. ("CMG") of Rockwood Ontario was completed in late August 2012 over the OGK Property. The airborne survey was completed in approximately three days, and totaled 505 line kilometres, of 100 metre spaced lines, flown in 4 separate blocks. The Company is awaiting a final compilation report from detailing the results however a review of preliminary data by Company management has outlined several areas of interest for immediate follow up.
To this end a Tajiri base camp has been established on the OGK Property and exploration is underway which will continue through the remainder of the field season. The focus of this helicopter supported exploration work is to follow up on the geophysical anomalies identified by August's airborne survey with targeted soil grids, ridge and spur soil sampling, and property wide stream geochemical sampling, combined with coincident geological mapping. The Company intends to utilize the data produced during its 2012 exploration work to prioritize drill targets for a planned 2013 diamond drilling program. Of highest priority for immediate investigation will be the continued assessment of the Slide Mountain area where diamond drilling by Teck in 2006, targeting geophysical anomalies similar to those produced by Tajiri's 2012 surveys, encountered extensive porphyry style alteration, and associated mineralization. The best of these drill holes, JTM-06-07, intersected 0.72% Copper with anomalous Gold values over 55 metres, and is interpreted by the Company, to represent the peripheries of a larger porphyry system that will form the focus of future exploration efforts on the Property.
