VANCOUVER, BC

/CNW/ - Tajiri Resources Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: TAJ) is
pleased to announce continued excellence in the results from trench sampling at the Epeius Project
Guyana,
South America
where trenching is investigating an area broadly on strike from ASX listed
Troy Resource's Limited's Goldstar Prospect located on the southern boundary of the Project
(Figure 1).
The area of investigation is resolving into three zones of mineralization:
A high-grade zone: The Magic Crack Zone (or the "MCZ") which is associated with the contact
of variably graphitic sediments and mafic volcanics where trenching to date has returned
2m
@
61.8 g/t
Au,
1m
@ 16.2g/t
Au,
2m
@ 9.2 Au, 2m @ 9.6g/t Au,
1m
@ 4.2g/t Au and
6m
@
3.5g/t including
2m
@ 8.0g/t Au over a strike length of
500m
A low-grade zone: The Pretty Ordinary Zone (or the "POZ") which is associated with a series of
small felsic and microdioritic/doleritic intrusives that presents as zones 2-
20m
wide variably
grading between 0.1 and 0.8g/t Au with rare values >1.0g/t, along with two better intersections
near the MCZ of
12m
@ 2.8g/t and
9m
@ 0.9g/t including
5m
@ 1.5g/t. This mineralization is
associated with flat to shallow dipping quartz vein sets or in the better mineralized intervals with
stockwork veining in or at the margins of the intrusive. Thus, the POZ may show considerable
vertical grade variation related to density of horizontal vein sets and will require drill testing.
The newly discovered on strike extensions of Troy Resources Goldstar Prospect: The Goldstar
Extended Zone (or the "GETZ") which was intersected in Trench 13 and returned 12m@ 0.6g/t
including
3m
@ 1.0g/t and 13m@ 0.5g/t including
6m
@ 1.0g/t Au. These intersections are
located
880m
to the northwest of and directly on strike from Goldstar where Troy has now
commenced trial mining. The two zones are separated by approximately
35m
across strike.
Investigation of the strike continuity between Goldstar and the GEEZ will require drilling as the
entirety of the strike of the GETZ between Trench 13 and Goldstar is covered by alluvium most
of which has been heavily worked by artisanal miners.
The high-grade intersections of
2m
@ 9.6g/t
and
2m
@ 9.0g/t
extend mineralization as reported
March 10
th
, 2021 of
2m
@ 61.8 g/t
Au and
1m
@ 16.2g/t
Au to a strike length of ~
60m
with the
two zones situated
11m
apart across strike. These results produce a coherent zone of
3.5m
width
averaging 25g/t Au contained within an
11m
wide interval of at least
60m
strike. Apart from two
other trenches TR1G and TR1J additional trenching along strike to the NW was unable to track the
zone due to either alluvium in a gully floor where Trenches 1-C &D were located or a lateritic
duricrust, which was too deep (>
5m
) and hard to penetrate by mechanical trenching. The lateritic
duricrust is part of a Permian aged erosion bevel that has been mapped in the region and represents
an ancient peneplane which is likely composed of transported material.
Of the two trenches which effectively tested the on-strike extensions of the MCZ, Trench 1J
intersected
6m
@ 3.5g/t including
2m
@ 8.0g/t and
1m
@ 4.2g/t
Au
.
500m
to the northwest of
the Trench 1A intersections of
2m
@ 61.8g/t and
1m
16.2g/t Au,
and Trench 1G which tested the
MCZ ~200m to the NW of the Trench 1 A intersections visually intersected mineralized material
which produced considerable fine gold from panning but no significant fire assay values. The
company is currently resampling Trench 1G and re-assaying existing visually mineralized samples
and results will be released when available.
As reported previously the MCZ contact zone continues to the SE and although only low grade
mineralization has been intersected to date it is nonetheless persistent in the 0.5-2.0g/t range over a
width of 2-4 metres.
Figure 1 shows the location of the Epieus project and Figure 2 shows all above discussed
mineralized zones and trenched intersections.
Executive Chairman
Dominic O'Sullivan
commented: "I am well pleased with the results generated
at Epeius to date and think investors could agree with me that we now have a very good chance of
generating at least a modest shallow high-grade resource at the MCZ. I also have confidence that
we will be able to extend the high-grade MCZ further along strike to the NW as Troy Resources
recently announced RC drill intersections of
11m
@ 1.9g/t and
6m
@ 7.2g/t
Au
from the same
sediment/volcanic contact which hosts the MCZ, 1800m to the NW of Trench 1J (see Figure 1). I
look forward to drilling the MCZ and exploring options to bring it into production, if warranted, after
completion of the acquisition of the Epeius Project."
