Taku Acquires Strategic Properties from Golden Predator in White Gold District of Yukon - Seite 2

Prior to the GPY property purchase, Taku held a portfolio of five properties covering 1,449 claims (29,813 hectares) in the White Gold district. These properties were acquired by Taku in 2010 and have seen integrated exploration work including airborne geophysical surveys, reconnaissance and detailed soil geochemical surveys, focused geophysical surveys, and limited trenching and drilling. Taku holds an enviable database and strong local expertise in the White Gold camp. The GPY Properties add four new properties covering 658 claims (13,034-hectares) increasing Taku's portfolio to nine properties covering 2,107 claims covering (42,847 hectares).

The Chopin Project consists of 36 quartz mining claims located approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Carmacks in the Dawson Range of central Yukon. The Korat Project consists of nine quartz mining claims surrounded by Comstock Metals' QV property. The claims are located approximately 8 kilometres north of Comstock's VG deposit and 20 kilometres north of White Gold Corp's Golden Saddle Deposit. The Lucky Joe Project consists of 548 quartz mining claims located 50 kilometers south of Dawson. The Forty Mile Project consists of 65 quartz mining claims and is road accessible via the Top of the World Highway 80 kilometers northwest of Dawson City.

The highlight of the Agreement is the Lucky Joe property that bounds Taku's Rosebute property to the north. The combined Lucky Joe-Rosebute property is located in the heart of the White Gold area, approximately 50 kilometres south of Dawson City and roughly 29 kilometres north of White Gold Corp's Golden Saddle Deposit. It is situated in close proximity to the Northern Access Road currently being built by Goldcorp to access the multi-million-ounce Coffee gold deposit. A seasonal road provides direct access to the eastern edge of the combined property.

Rosebute property contains two extensive gold-in-soil zones known as the Norwest and Hudbay zones. The Norwest Zone is located on the northern portion of Rosebute and is defined by three individual gold- in-soil anomalies that together form a circular anomaly with a diameter of approximately two kilometres. The Hudbay Zone is located three kilometres southwest of the Norwest Zone and consists of at least three, north trending gold-in-soil anomalies which each measure 1.0 to 1.6 kilometres in length and vary from 150 to 350 metres in width. Historically, Lucky Joe has been explored for its copper potential and has seen only limited gold exploration work. Significant drilling by White Gold in 2017 will focus on the east- trending Lira target which is located directly on the western boundary of the Lucky Joe property (White Gold press release - June 5, 2017).
