Taku Identifies Two Gold-In-Soil Zones at Bishop Property in Yukon

Taku Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TAK) is pleased to announce final
results from a preliminary deep auger-type, soil geochemical survey completed
over the 227-claim (4,699 hectare) Bishop property in late June 2011. The Bishop
property is located approximately 45km south of Dawson City in the Klondike gold
camp of Yukon. The goal of the survey was to identify areas prospective for
detailed soil geochemical, prospecting and sampling work.


A total of 838 soil samples were collected along ridges and spurs at 50m
intervals. Two clusters of anomalous gold, silver, arsenic and antimony were
identified by the sampling. The first area is located in the north-central part
of the property and shows gold-in-soil values up to 41.2 parts per billion gold
(ppb Au) over a continuous distance of 800m. The second area is located 2km west
and shows gold-in-soil anomalies up to 88.8ppb Au over a continuous distance of
600m. Both areas also show consistent moderate to strong silver, arsenic and
antimony values. Detailed sampling is now underway over these areas with sample
stations every 50m on lines spaced 100m apart in order to follow up the
encouraging initial results. Distribution maps for gold, silver, arsenic and
antimony will be posted on the Taku website shortly.


"The gold zones at Bishop are remarkably persistent over long distances and we
are looking forward to the results from the detailed sampling to see just how
extensive these zones are," comments Zak Dingsdale, President.


All soil samples were collected by Breakaway Exploration Management Inc. All
analytical work was completed at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. ("Acme") in
Vancouver, British Columbia. Acme is accredited under ISO 9001. Soil samples
were prepared by drying and sieving 100g to -80 mesh, and then analyzed for 36
elements (including gold) by 15 gram Aqua Regia digestion, ICP-MS finish. Mark
Fekete, P.Geo is the designated "qualified person" as defined in Section 1.2 in
