Taku Gold Corp.

Taku Gold Corp. is a mineral resource company focused on the exploration and development of precious metal properties in Canada with a particular emphasis on the Tagish Lake region of Northern British Columbia. The Company is actively seeking new projects in Northern B.C. and Yukon. The TAG Gold-Silver Project is Taku's most advanced property.

The TAG Gold-Silver property consists of 26 claims (2,429ha) and is located 35km due west of Atlin on Taku Arm of Tagish Lake. The lake provides relatively good access by barge and float plane. A winterized, 16-man camp has been built on the property.

The property covers 6.2km of the 025 Fault Zone. The 025FZ is a highly deformed interval of shearing, quartz veining, stockwork and breccia with disseminated to stringer sulphide mineralization that cuts calcareous sedimentary rocks. Sediment-hosted, structurally controlled gold deposits are some of the world's most significant gold resources. The TAG property shows all the features that characterize these deposit types.

Between 2006 and 2008 Taku completed airborne geophysical, soil geochemical and prospecting surveys as well as extensive surface trenching and 11,476m of drilling in 69 drill holes. Taku recently announced a 43-101 initial mineral resource estimate calculation from 28 holes drilled on the Main Zone located at the far south end of the 025FZ.

The mineral resource estimate includes 250,000 tonnes @ 3.0 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold ("Au") and 12.1gpt silver ("Ag") classified as Indicated mineral resources and a further 400,000 tonnes @ 3.0gpt Au and 9.9gpt Ag classified as Inferred mineral resources. The estimated mineral resources contain 25,736 gold-equivalent ounces (cut) or 26,848 gold-equivalent ounces (uncut) in the Indicated category and 40,705 gold-equivalent ounces (cut) or 42,528 gold-equivalent ounces (uncut) in the Inferred category.

The Tag property remains wide open for further exploration. A new surface showing was discovered in 2008 that returned values up to 7.8gpt Au. This showing is located on the south margin of a quartz diorite intrusion that is well outlined by the airborne magnetic survey. Limited drilling was completed at the north end of this intrusive body and intersected maximum values of 4.3gpt Au and 14.6gpt Ag. The best weight averaged intersection was 16m of 0.29gpt Au and 1.3gpt Ag. The area underlain by the quartz diorite will be the focus for Taku's exploration effort in 2010. A $1.5 million budget has been proposed.
