…as drilling plans advance for current gold project

(Kaieteur News) – Junior Canadian miner Tajiri Resources Corp. which owns the Yono Project in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), says it plans to expand its footprint in Guyana’s mining sector and will soon announce the acquisition of another prospective gold property in Guyana.

While advancing its flagship Yono Gold Project toward drilling, Tajiri said it has spent the past two months evaluating “high-quality exploration opportunities” in Guyana.

“Over the past two months, the company has been conducting due diligence and advancing negotiations on several highly prospective gold properties and expects to announce a significant acquisition within the coming month,” it said.

Management believes the combination of systematic exploration at Yono Gold Project, a fully funded path to drilling, and the potential addition of another high-quality Guyanese gold asset positions Tajiri for an active and potentially transformational second half of 2026.

The Yono property consists of one mining permit covering 122 hectares (301 acres).

As part of its work at Yono, Tajiri will conduct a three-week induced polarization (IP), resistivity, ground magnetometer and EM31 conductivity survey designed to refine drill targets ahead of its maiden drilling programme, which is expected to commence later this year.

The company has retained Frontier Geosciences to undertake the survey after completing site preparation, including the construction of survey and access lines.

According to Tajiri, the programme is expected to provide a clearer understanding of the property’s geology and identify additional mineralised targets beneath surface cover.

The Yono Gold Project is located within Guyana’s Oko gold district. Within a two-kilometre radius of Yono, there are three known deposits with Mineral Resource Estimates (MRE), G2’s Oko Main Zone and Ghanie to the north and east, and GMIN’s Oko West to the south – also controlled by Canadian firms.

Tajiri highlighted that the adjacent properties held by G2 Goldfields Inc. and G Mining Ventures Corp. together host an estimated 7-million ounces of indicated and inferred gold resources.
