Tajiri Highlights Drilling by Goldsource Mines that
Intersects Mineralization on the Boundary of and
Striking into the Gargantuan Project with Results
Including: 6m @ 18.31g/t; 9m @ 9.29g/t; 21m @
3.12g/t; 13.5m @ 4.7g/t and 36m @ 2.12 g/t Au

/CNW/ - Tajiri Resources Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: TAJ) is pleased to
draw investors' attention to good shallow drill results reported by our neighbour Goldsource Mines (TSX.V
GXS) at their Soca Prospect located within a north south striking zone of mineralisation which extends
southward into the Gargantuan Project, for a potential mineralised strike length of ~1,100m. The prospectivity
of the Soca zone extension through Garganatuan is highlighted by extensive artisanal alluvial gold workings
associated with its entire projected strike within Gargantuan (See
Figure 2
).
Drill results reported by Goldsource

within
50 m
of the boundary with Gargantuan include:
9m
@ 9.29g/t Au
from
139.5m
;
10.5m
@ 3.66 g/t Au from
78m
3m@ 5.17g/t Au from
178m
;
15.5m
@ 1.67g/t Au and
13.5m
@
4.7g/t Au from
66m
.
Further away from the boundary and up to
250m
along strike to the north (limits of drill testing) Goldsource
reported the following better diamond drill intercepts:
6m
@ 18.31 g/t Au from
169.5m
;
21m
@ 3.13g/t Au from
112m
;
36m
@ 2.12 g/t Au (including
15m
@ 4.41g/t Au) from
79.5m
; 3m@ 7.45g/t Au from
58m
; and 18m@
1.25g/t Au from
28m
.
Accompanying Figures include the location of the Soca Zone and other mineralised trends with respect to the
Gargantuan Property (
Figure 1
) and a reproduction of Goldsources' drill plan of the Soca Zone with detailed
trace of the Soca Zone through Gargantuan and a cross-section located within
50m
of the boundary of
Gargantuan (
Figures 2 & 3
respectively).
Character of the Soca Zone
Mineralisation to date defined by Goldsource drilling appears to be associated with a gently west dipping
(~15°) contact between a quartz porphyry and an underlying granodiorite (
Figure3
). Mineralisation is truncated
on the western side of the Soca Zone by a vertical fault with unknown displacement while to the east where
mineralisation is projected to outcrop it has been mined in several saprolitic artisanal workings (
Figure 2
). As
such the porphyry – granodiorite controlling contact has a potential down dip extent of ~
300m
from surface to
the truncating fault in the west.
Better gold intercepts occur within a broad halo of lower-grade gold mineralisation and as such and given
current drill spacing the detailed orientation of the high tenor zones within Soca are not yet well defined. They
may be associated with steeper sympathetic shears/ladder style structures within the shallow dipping broad
halo of gold anomalism, or they may represent several shallow dipping zones conformable to the porphyry-
granodiorite contact.
It also appears possible that the tenor of mineralisation at Soca improves going south with the length weighted
average of 26 >1g/t intersections reported by Goldsource being 3.4g/t Au over
7.2m
for the entire Prospect
while the average of all > 1g/t intersections (11) situated within
60m
of the boundary of the Gargantuan Project
is 5.3g/t Au over
8.2m
.
Elsewhere within the Eagle Mountain Project, Goldsource have defined a low strip ratio, pit constrained, gold
resource of 1.77Moz @ 1.1g/t
2
Au and are currently undertaking preliminary economic assessment studies.
Mineralisation at the Eagle Mountain Project has two styles:
Shallow dipping mineralisation, associated with low angle thrusts, which has extensive down-dip and lateral
continuity; and
Mineralisation associated with steeply dipping, north-south striking breccia and shear zones of the
Salbora- Trend.
The association of the Soca zone with a shallow dipping porphyry-granodiorite contact gives some confidence
that like similar shallow dipping mineralisation within the wider Eagle Mountain Project, Soca and its strike
projections into Gargantuan will also be characterised by extensive strike and dip continuity.
Chairman's Comment
Given the immediacy of the Soca Zone to Gargantuan and the good understanding of the gross geometry of
the zone established by Goldsource, the extensions of Soca through Gargantuan represents an immediate no-
brainer, walk-up, drill ready target with the prospect of delivering a considerable quantum of high-grade
mineralisation next to a potential gold mine.
