Taku Drills 0.95gpt Gold Over 23.4m at Rosebute in White Gold Area of Yukon

Taku Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TAK) is pleased to release results
from a four hole, 963 metre core drilling program recently completed on the
544-claim (11,260-hectare) Rosebute property located approximately 55 kilometres
due south of Dawson City, Yukon. The property was acquired in March 2010 from
well-known Yukon prospector Shawn Ryan. The drilling was done to test a number
of strong gold-in-soil trends obtained in 2011 from an area in the northwestern
part of the property identified as the "Norwest" zone (Taku Press Release -
February 6, 2012). Three of the four holes returned notable gold intersections.


The first hole intersected 0.95 grams per tonne gold (gpt Au) over 23.4 metres
(m) from 22.6m in an area where soil geochemical sampling returned up to 1.3gpt
Au within an anomalous trend at least 500m long. The second hole intersected
1.58gpt Au over 1.0m from 19.0m in an area where a strong arsenic-in-soil
anomaly was identified in 2011. The fourth hole intersected 0.88gpt Au over 3.0m
from 66.0m where soil geochemical sampling returned up to 0.3gpt Au within an
anomalous area at least 450m long. The third hole, drilled to test 900m long
gold -in-soil trend with values up to 0.2gpt Au, did not intersect any notable
gold-bearing intervals.


The following table summarizes all the gold-bearing intervals encountered by the
drilling:

All analytical results referred to in this release were determined by Acme
Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver, B.C. Acme is accredited under ISO
9001. Drill core samples were prepared by crushing one kilogram to 80% passing
-10 mesh and then pulverizing a 250g subsample to 85% passing -200 mesh. Each
subsample was analyzed for gold by 30g fire assay, ICP-ES finish. Taku follows
an independently designed and monitored quality assurance/quality control
program involving the insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates into the
sampling stream.


Mark Fekete, PGeo., a director of Taku, is the designated qualified person as
