Peak in-situ top of saprolite values 1.57g/t, 1.45g/t & 1.06 g/t
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 8, 2024 /CNW/ - Tajiri Resources Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TAJ) is pleased to announce results of power auger drilling at the K5 prospect situated on the Company's ~ 1,000km2 Reo Project Burkina Faso. K5 is one of five prospects within the 11km x 7.5km greater K4-K5 area (Figure 1).
The Company's programs and reanalysis of all K5 data have made an outstanding improvement to the tenor and potential of K5. Previously K5 appeared to be several small zones of NE striking gold anomalism, now K5 appears to be a continuous zone of ~4km x 1km, comprised of multiple targets of gold anomalism. The best of these are at the NW and SE ends of the Prospect where the areas of gold anomalism are potentially associated with what appear to be large fold closures (Figure 5).
Compared to historic auger sampling, infill sampling has produced an approximately 400% increase in the number of >80ppb & >250ppb samples with peak top of saprolite values returned being 1,577 ppb Au (Figure 2).
In detail and as shown in the figures accompanying this announcement:

Next Steps
Next steps at K5 are to conduct detailed auger sampling at the NW and SE ends of the prospect on NE-SW oriented lines to better define anomalies in these areas. In addition, trenching will be conducted in areas where auger drilling indicates >4m depth to mappable saprolite to gather structural data and take continuous sections across gold anomalies.

Technical Details / QA/QC
Results reported today were part of ~26,000m program of power auger drilling undertaken by the Company over K5 and the K4 West, South and North Prospects which infilled historic 400m x 100m spaced auger drilling. Infill lines at K5 were oriented NW-SE and brought line spacing to 200m with intra-line sample spacing at mostly 50m.
Drilling with hollow stem power auger was conducted and supervised by Sahara Natural Resources and whole samples of 1-4kg were assayed by 50 gram fire assay with a DIBK extraction at SGS laboratories, Ougadougo, Burkina Faso along with standards, blanks and duplicates making up 10% of the assayed samples. Assay sensitivity was 1 ppb Au.
The top metre of textured saprolite was sampled and auger drill holes ranged from 3 to 29m in depth. As saprolite was sampled by our auger program and lateral chemical dispersion of gold in saprolite in the Sahel region of West Africa appears to be minor, detected gold anomalism should be in-situ as confirmed in places by underlying historic RAB and RC drill results.
