Taku Outlines Large Gold-in-Soil Anomaly at Rosebute in White Gold Area of Yukon

Taku Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TAK) is pleased to announce that it
has outlined a large gold-in-soil anomaly in the western part of the 544-claim
(11,260-hectare) Rosebute property located approximately 55 kilometres due south
of Dawson City, Yukon. A map of the anomaly can be viewed at
http://bit.ly/NxdOcp. The property was acquired in March 2010 from well-known
Yukon prospector Shawn Ryan and was recently drilled by the Company at the
Norwest zone (Taku Press Release August 21, 2012).


Reconnaissance ridge and spur soil samples taken by the Company in 2011
identified a small cluster of anomalous gold results with maximum values up to
0.5 grams per tonne (gpt Au) approximately 2.4 kilometres southwest of the
Norwest zone (Taku Press Release - February 6, 2012). In June 2012, a total of
1,356 follow up grid samples were collected over this cluster at 50m sample
stations on lines spaced 50m apart. A very strong gold-in-soil zone trending
northwest over a length of at least 1000m was identified by the grid sampling.
The "Hudbay" zone varies from 150 to 350m wide and shows a maximum value of 0.9
gpt Au. The southern end of the zone is especially strong with almost every
sample showing strongly anomalous gold values greater than 60 parts per billion
(ppb Au) within an area 500m long by 350m wide.


The detailed grid sampling also identified a second anomalous gold-in-soil zone
approximately 750m southeast of the Hudbay zone. This second zone trends
northwest over a length of 650m, varies from 50 to 250m wide and shows maximum
gold values up to 96ppb Au. Although this second zone has much smaller
dimensions and lower gold values than Hudbay, it is nonetheless interesting.


The Company has mobilized a helicopter portable Can-Dig excavator to Rosebute to
dig a series of trenches across the Hudbay zone. "The Hudbay zone dwarfs the
Norwest zone where Taku just reported a significant gold-bearing drill
intersection. We are very excited about the size and grade of Hudbay relative to
anything we have seen in the White Gold area so far." comments Zak Dingsdale,
President and CEO of the Company. An interview regarding these results can be

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
