Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 12, 2026) - Tajiri Resources Corp. (TSXV:
TAJ) ("Tajiri" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from its ongoing Phase II trenching program
at the majority owned Yono Project, Guyana, which indicate
three
significant
gold zones
potentially
hosting economic mineralisation. All results are given in Table 1 and locations of trenches and
mineralised intersections are shown in
Figure 1
.

Yono is
contiguous
with and
surrounded
by the
Oko and Oko West Properties
of TSX listed
G2
Goldfields Inc.
"G2"
& G Mining Ventures
"GMIN", which collectively host
6.9 Moz and 2.0 Moz of
Indicated and Inferred Resources (~ 94Mt @ 2.3g/t Ind. & 26Mt @ 2.5g/t Inf)
1
within 150-170m of Yono's
eastern boundary and extending north and south of Yono over a total distance of ~ 5km.
Currently the
Oko West Deposit of GMIN is in construction with production slated for Q1 2028.
The three significant zones with potential to host economic gold mineralisation are as follows:
North 'Tweener Zone - Carbonaceous Metasediment Contact
A cluster of trench intersections -
YTR16 20m @ 1.4g/t
;
YTR4R 12m @ 2.5g/t
;
YTR18 4m @
1.8g/
t &
4m @ 5.5g/t
Gold
situated on the northern boundary of Yono, which combined with
mapping indicates a complex mineralised and folded contact zone between carbonaceous
metasediments and a sequence of interbedded chloritic metasediments + volcanics (
Figure 2
).
The zone strikes, dips and plunges southwards into Yono and is possibly an extension of the same
mineralised contact encountered in
YTR4,
which returned
19m @ 4.6g/t Au
2
400m south of the
above-mentioned intersections (
Figure 3
). In addition, the Zone may strike southwards for ~ 800m
before reaching the Projects boundary.
Thus, a highly significant zone with substantial strike
potential is indicated for immediate follow-up.
Ridgeline Splay Zone
-
Diorite Contact
YTR8
intersected
18m @ 0.8g/t
including 10m @ 1.1g/t Gold
. Combined with geophysics,
mapping, geochemical and trench assays, the intersection is highly significant because it reveals a
gold mineralised contact between diorite and country rock that
extends through Yono for a
distance of ~ 1,200m
(
Figure 4
).
The geological setting is directly analogous to the large Ghanie
and Oko West deposits which are hosted in the contact zone of the Ghanie Diorite and lie at their
closest point ~150m from the Yono.
Eastern Border Zone
YTR 15
, located in the southeast corner of Yono intersected
18m @ 0.5g/t
including
8m @ 1.0g/t
Gold
. Mapping indicates the zone has a similar strike to Ghanie and the northern part of the Oko
West Deposits at ~ 10-15°. The zone strikes northwards
along the eastern boundary of Yono for a
distance of some ~ 700m through the previously reported intersection of
1m @ 10.8g/t
Gold
encountered in trench
YTR7
and into a cluster of higher auger values including,
1.6g/t Gold
further
north, before being inferred to pass into the tenure of G2 (
Figure 5
).
The implication of the zone is that it demonstrates the existence of potentially economic
mineralisation west of, striking parallel to and near the Ghanie and Oko West deposits.
To date,
there has been a dearth of exploration within the tenure of both G2 and GMIN along the Yono
border area despite there being abundant alluvial and bedrock artisanal workings indicating
mineralised zones may exist in the footwall of the Ghanie Diorite within this area.
The exploitation
of any substantial mineralisation discovered, west of the Ghanie and Oko West deposits may
require mining operations impinging onto Yono.
Others
In addition to the above significant intersections trenches have also encountered substantial widths
of gold anomalism ~
10-26m @ ~ 0.1-0.2g/t Gold
(Table 1 &
Figure 1
) which may be indicative of
better mineralisation along strike or down dip of these anomalous zones (
Figure 5
).
Such is
supported by the style of mineralisation in the district where early trench results over the Oko West
Deposit- 5.41Moz and 0.4M oz Indicated & Inferred Resources (80Mt @ 2.1g/t Ind. & 5.1Mt @ 2.4
Inf) show marked short range variation in widths and grades of mineralisation over strike lengths of
~100m (
Figure 6
).
Exploration Progress
Currently a
2,610m
trenching program, targeting better auger anomalies is underway. To date,
1,800m
has been completed.
Field operations recommenced January 15.
Currently an additional ~ 1,500m of
trenching is being planned. Currently trenches to explore beyond YTR3, 3R, 16 & 17 are in progress.
Trenching and mapping has identified ferricrete capping a large portion of Yono (
Figure 5
).
As a result,
the Company is evaluating power auger drilling and/or shallow RC drilling to effectively test gold
anomalies beneath the ferricrete cap, which is typically strongly leached of gold.
Executive Chairman, Dominic O'Sullivan, commented: "
Our confidence in the potential for Yono to host
significant economic gold mineralization continues to grow with each phase of results. The project now
hosts at least three mineralized structural-stratigraphic corridors totalling approximately 3 km of strike
length, each returning gold grades in excess of 1 g/t. Additional anomalous zones have also been
identified that may develop into higher-grade mineralization along strike or at depth. Based on these
results, the Company is accelerating its exploration programs and is in the process of hiring
additional geological staff and mobilizing a second excavator to expedite trenching."

Methodology
Trenches were dug by a 25 tonne New Holland excavator, rented by the Company.
Ground is first
cleared and soil and laterite overburden is removed to a depth 2-4m in an upper bench.
Thence the
trench is dug to a total depth of 6-7m (2-3m below the upper bench) to reach underlying saprolite where
possible.
Sampling is routinely conducted as horizontal channels taken on the south side of the trench along the
floor mostly as 2m continuous composites. The entire length of a trench is sampled and in areas of
potential interest the sampling interval may be tailored to the interval of interest with sample intervals of
1m or less if required (e.g. YTR3 @ 80-80.3m). Trench walls are cleaned prior to channel sampling,
preventing contamination from higher in the weathered profile.
All trenches are sampled from west to
east or from south to north and intervals reported herein are referenced from the western and southern
end of trenches.
Orientations and positions of all reported trenches and intersections are shown in Figure 1 together with
the mineralised intervals referred to in the Table of significant intersections. Except for Trenches YTR6
and YTR7 all trenches were excavated in an east west orientation to cut inferred dominant north-south
striking zones.
Samples, weighing typically between 2-5kg, are bagged and labelled immediately after sampling and
stored on site until transport to either Actlabs or MSA laboratories in Georgetown Guyana, respecting
industry standard chain of custody procedures.
At Actlabs samples are dried and crushed to 80%
passing 2mm and a 250g aliquot is riffle split and pulverised and analysed by 50-gram fire assay. At
MSA labs a 1,000-gram aliquot is pulverised. Initial assay readings are by atomic absorption with
samples returning values greater than 3.0g/t being re-assayed with a gravimetric finish. The detection
limit for both laboratories is 5ppb.
The company inserts a QA/QC sample every 10
th
sample alternating
between duplicates, blanks and standards.
Bulk rejects and pulps are retained for 3 months for any
required re-assay after which bulk rejects are discarded and pulps retained.

Intercepts are reported with a maximum of 2m of internal dilution at a cutoff grade of 0.1g/t.
Internal dilution of 2m has been applied to intercepts that
average >1g/t and 6m to anomalous zones which average <1g/t.
All intervals are given as the intersected widths and while strikes and dips of
structures, contacts and veins associated with mineralised intervals have been measured during routine mapping of the trenches, given the early
nature of exploration and the fact that vein orientations within shear zones commonly occupy an array or orientations often oblique to the true strike
and width of a mineralised zones
we cannot at this stage give a true width for the mineralised intervals given in the above table.
