MONTREAL, February 20, 2019. Tarku Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: TKU) (the "Company" or "Tarku") announces that it has signed an option agreement with 5 arm’s length individuals (“Vendors”) to acquire 100% interest in the Lac Fabien vanadium project ("Project") located in Quebec, Canada. The project is ideally located 130 km North West of Quebec City, 3km from the railroad that reaches port installations from the St-Laurence River to the south and Saguenay to the North (see press release from January 15, 2019).

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku, stated: "We are very exited about this new opportunity to diversify Tarku’s portfolio. As project generator, we are engaged in exploring and discovering new resources in Quebec. Preliminary results from the magnetite concentrate returned values from 1.37 to 1.67% V₂O₅ in the central zone and the project is perfectly located to export potential ore to Canadian, American or worldwide markets. Compared to where the Vanadium is actually produced in the world, Quebec is the perfect stable jurisdiction to develop a Strategic Metal project in an environmentally-responsible and socially-acceptable manner”.

About Vanadium

Vanadium is a strategic mineral used as a strengthening alloy for steel and titanium as well as a chemical catalyst. Its recent price surge mainly resulting from the inability of global production to meet the significant increase in Vanadium demand in the construction sector. Vanadium prices are also rising thanks to the increasing use and development in Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) for long duration energy storage point that are quickly becoming the energy storage solution for peak-shaving, load-leveling, microgrids, wind and solar, off-grid power supplies, and uninterruptible power supplies.

There is actually no primary vanadium commercial production in North America as China, Russia and South Africa produce annually about 77% of global production. Secondary vanadium production exists but is processed from waste materials as petroleum residues, spent catalysts, utility ash, and vanadium-bearing pig iron slag. Tarku sees an opportunity to develop high quality and clean vanadium projects in a safe jurisdiction as Quebec Province.

Lac Fabien Vanadium Project

The project which is accessible by road, encompasses 37 mining titles and is located 130 km North West of Quebec City and at only 3km from the Lac St-Jean freight and passenger railroad. The Lac Fabien project initially highlighted its potential for magmatic Fe-Ti-V-P mineralization in 2001 (0.58% V₂O₅, 59.31% Fe₂O₃; GM 60997). The vanadium-rich magnetite sub vertical beds are hosted in layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions associated with anorthosite.

Recent exploration work returned over 25 grab samples containing > 0.25% V₂O₅ distributed in a 1.2 km by 300 m area. Results include 0.48% V₂O₅ on a grab sample and 11 m @ 0.22% V₂O₅ in channel samples. Preliminary results from Davis tube tests showed very good recovery of magnetite concentrate that returned values from 1.37 to 1.67% V₂O₅ and 55 to 65% Fe.

A recent magnetic survey completed by the Quebec government in 2015 demonstrates that the magnetic anomaly associated with the vanadium mineralization extends over 6 km in length. The mineralized area is characterized by thin to no overburden suggesting a potential good stripping ratio in the anticipation of an open-pit mining scenario, should economic viability warrant.

Tarku is planning to conduct exploration work during summer 2019, including extensive rock sampling, channel sampling and stripping aiming to validate the thickness and continuity of the mineralized vanadium zones as well as the grade distribution. Work will also include preliminary metallurgical testing to demonstrate the recovery quality of the vanadium at the Lac Fabien project.

Terms of the agreement

Tarku can earn 100% interest in the Lac Fabien project, by granting the optionor a total of $1,8M as follows:

• An initial cash payment of $25,000 and 1,500,000 shares;
• $35,000 cash and $55,000 in cash or shares at the option of the Company on or before 1st anniversary (Optional);

• $55,000 cash and $125,000 in cash or shares at the option of the Company on or before 3rd anniversary (Optional);
• $100,000 cash and $200,000 in cash or shares at the option of the Company on or before 4th anniversary (Optional);

• $100,000 in exploration expenditures in the first year of the Agreement (firm commitment)
• $250,000 in exploration expenditures in Year 2 (Optional);
• $350,000 in exploration expenditures in Year 3 (Optional);
• $400,000 in exploration expenditures in Year 4 (Optional);

If completed, the project will be subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (NSR) on which Tarku has the option to purchase 1% for $1,500,000 at any time. Throughout the Option Period, Tarku will have the option to defer the exploration expenditures up to 2 times for one additional year with a penalty of $ 10,000 in cash payment and a maximum of $25,000 in additional cash or shares of the Company, at the option of the Company.

MONTREAL, Jan. 31, 2019 - Tarku Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: TKU) (the "Company" or "Tarku") announces the scheduling of a 1,200 m drill program to commence during February 2019 on its wholly owned Admiral project in the Matagami area, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. The program targets structures and major folds in a 1 to 1.5 km wide corridor identified by Tarku’s previous high-resolution geophysical activities and data compilations and that contains the Lac Olga Ouest gold showing located on the Admiral project (5.9 g/t Au, grab sample, GM 49140).

The Company is also pleased to announce the recent completion of a 271 line-km high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic survey over the main targeted area, previously identified through a till sampling program, on the Apollo and Atlas adjacent projects. Tarku believes the area has been under explored for gold.

Tarku owns 3 projects in the Matagami area (Admiral, Apollo and Atlas) totaling 224 mining titles centered on regional faults including ductile shear of the Waswanipi River (RWSZ), a favourable setting for orogenic gold mineralization associated with alkaline rocks and porphyry intrusions. Tarku interprets this geological context as being similar to the Sunday Lake regional fault, host of the Detour Lake Mine or the Kirkland Lake Mining Camp. Tarku’s management believes that the gold potential of the Matagami sector has been undervalued and uses today modern geological models and exploration techniques to aid in the discovery of gold mineralization. Tarku cautions that the mineralization at the Detour Lake mine or the Kirkland Lake mining Camp may not be indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Company’s Matagami projects and is used as a conceptual exploration model only.

Drill program targeting new gold priority zones on the Admiral project

The Admiral project is located west of Lake Olga and consists of 30 claims (1,667 ha) overlying the convergence of the Rivière Waswanipi (RWSZ) and Lac Olga (LOSZ) shear zones. The LOSZ contains the Lac Olga Ouest gold showing located on the Admiral project (5.9 g/t Au, grab sample, GM 49140) and Goldcorp’s high-grade deposit Indice Principal zone Olgalocated 10 km southeast of Admiral (14.75 g/t Au, 1.14% Cu and 10.3 g/t Ag over 1.50 m, GM 50632) (see www.tarkuresources.com).

Tarku’s drill program follows a high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic survey (see press released dated November 29, 2018) and recent data compilation, covering the entire Admiral Project, which has aided interpretations of the mineralized systems and, more importantly, identified new gold targets. The interpreted data identifies high priority drilling targets defined by the intersection of structures, the axial planes of folds, historical electromagnetic Input anomalies and by a non-magnetic signal or low magnetic features which may represent silica-tourmaline alteration zones as observed at the Indice Principal zone Olga deposit.

High-resolution MAG survey on Apollo and Atlas projects

In January 2019, Tarku completed a 271 line-km high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic survey over the main targeted area of Apollo and Atlas projects. Flight lines were surveyed at a 100-metre spacing and was conducted by Prospectair (Gatineau, Quebec) and Dynamic Discovery Geoscience (Ottawa, Ontario) to aid interpretations of the mineralized systems and identify new gold targets within the recently define favourable zone.

Following its 2017 till sampling program, Tarku identifies a 6 km wide favourable zone along the regional Rivière Waswanipi shear zone (RWSZ) that may be the source of the gold grains sampled (see press release dated February 28, 2018). Three targets within that 6 km stretch, (Apollo XI, Apollo XII and Apollo XV) were considered priorities for the upcoming work phases as they were corresponding to magnetic highs associated with carbonate-hematite-magnetite alteration along or near the regional gold-bearing RWSZ. This corridor contains the Rivière Waswanipi gold showing (2.36 g/t Au over 1 m; GM 51193) hosted in a porphyritic dyke and tuffs as well as several porphyry intrusions bearing anomalous gold values on the order of 0.1 to 0.9 g/t Au over 0.6 to 5 m (GM 52712).

After receipt of the final data, Tarku’s management will be able to identify and prioritize additional drilling targets along the regional RWSZ and will evaluate the possibility of completing a drilling campaign to test new gold targets during 2019.

MONTREAL, January 15, 2019. Tarku Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: TKU) (the "Company" or "Tarku") is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with prospectors with respect to an option to acquire a 100% interest in the vanadium Lac Fabien project ("Project") in Quebec, Canada.

The LOI outlines what would be mutually acceptable principal terms for a definitive option agreement that will have to be signed before February 28, 2019 and under which, subject to certain conditions, Tarku would issue mainly shares and incur exploration expenditures towards an option to purchase a 100% interest in the Project over 4 years. Tarku currently explores its options in order to better secure the financing of the project.

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku, stated: "As project generator, we are engaged in exploring and discovering new resources in Quebec. By acquiring this new project, Tarku diversify and strengthen its portfolio with the intention of realizing value for all stakeholders. Our 2019 summer exploration work will tell us, but currently the size and the continuity of the mineralization looks already impressive. It’s an easy to access location and actual known results from grab samples distributed over kilometers suggest potential for a strong viable undiscovered vanadium deposit”.

Lac Fabien Vanadium Project

The project which is accessible by road, encompasses 35 mining titles and is located 130 km North West of Quebec City and at only 3km from the Lac St-Jean freight and passengers’ railroad. The Lac Fabien project initially highlighted its potential for magmatic Fe-Ti-V-P mineralization in 2001 (0.58% V₂O₅, 59.31% Fe₂O₃; GM 60997).

Work will also include preliminary metallurgical testing to demonstrate the recovery quality of the vanadium at the Lac Fabien project.

The Vanadium

Vanadium is a strategic mineral used as a strengthening alloy for steel and titanium as well as a chemical catalyst. After a series of deadly building collapses, the Standardization Administration for the People’s Republic of China, recently announced a new rebar standard – requiring the use of vanadium (“Rebar” is used to give internal structure to poured concrete).

Vanadium prices are surging because there is also increasing use and development in Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) for long duration energy storage point that are quickly becoming the energy storage solution for peak-shaving, load leveling, microgrids, wind and solar, off-grid power supplies, and uninterruptible power supplies. The rally in vanadium prices is accelerating with V₂O₅ flake recently leaping to $27.50/pound in China, from $5 per pound 2 years ago.

There is actualy no primary vanadium production in North America as China, Russia and South Africa produce annually about 77% of total production. Secondary vanadium production exists but is processed from waste materials as petroleum residues, spent catalysts, utility ash, and vanadium-bearing pig iron slag. Tarku sees an opportunity to develop high quality and clean vanadium projects in a safe jurisdiction as Quebec Province.

 MONTREAL, November 29, 2018. Tarku Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: TKU) (the "Company" or "Tarku") is pleased to provide an update on the progress made in exploration on its 100% owned Admiral project in the Matagami area, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. New drilling targets have been identified on the project and Tarku management is evaluating the possibility of completing a drilling campaign in the first quarter of 2019.

The gold potential of the Matagami sector

Since the first mineral discoveries made in 1957, the Matagami mining camp is  recognized worldwide for its zinc-rich volcanogenic massif sulphide (VMS) deposits. The development and construction of the region's mining infrastructure has been primarily used to produce zinc concentrate.

Tarku owns 3 projects (including the Admiral project) totaling 223 mining titles centered on regional faults including ductile shear of the Waswanipi River (RWSZ), a favourable setting for orogenic gold mineralization associated with alkaline rocks and porphyry intrusions. Tarku interprets this geological context as being similar to the Sunday Lake regional fault, host of the Detour Lake Mine or the Kirkland Lake Mining Camp. Tarku’s management believes strongly that the gold potential of the Matagami sector has been undervalued and uses today modern geological models and exploration techniques to aid in the discovery of gold mineralization.

New Gold Targets on the Admiral project

The Admiral project, 100% owned by Tarku, is located west of Lake Olga (see www.tarkuresources.com). It consists of 29 claims (1,612 ha) overlying the convergence of the Rivière Waswanipi (RWSZ) and Lac Olga (LOSZ) shear zones, which contains the Lac Olga Ouest gold showing (5.9 g/t Au, grab sample, GM 49140) and Goldcorp’s high-grade deposit Indice Principal zone Olga (14.75 g/t Au, 1.14% Cu and 10.3 g/t Ag over 1.50 m, GM 50632).

In May 2018, Tarku completed a 294 line-km high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic survey over the entire Admiral Project. Flight lines were surveyed at a 100-metre spacing and was conducted by Prospectair (Gatineau, Quebec) and Dynamic Discovery Geoscience (Ottawa, Ontario) to improve current interpretations of the mineralized systems and identify new gold targets.

The survey demonstrated a previously unrecognised structural complexity and revealed the presence of numerous secondary structures and major folds in a 1 to 1.5 km wide corridor bordered to the north and south by the two major shears RWSZ and LOSZ (see FIGURE 1). The interpreted data identifies 6 priority drilling targets defined by the intersection of structures, the axial planes of folds, historical electromagnetic Input anomalies and by a non-magnetic signal or low magnetic features which may represent silica-tourmaline alteration zones as observed at the Indice Principal zone Olga deposit.

Tarku is now evaluating the possibility of completing a drilling campaign during winter 2019 to test these new gold targets.

The Guercheville project

Tarku also wishes to announce that, following careful analysis of results of the 11 drill-hole program completed on the Guercheville project (see news release June 14, 2018),  it will not pursue the option to acquire a 50% interest in the project, located 50 kilometers southwest of Chapais in the territory of Eeyou Istchee James Bay. The drill program was designed to test the depth extensions of several gold and polymetallic surface showings and to investigate geophysical anomalies identified by SOQUEM over the past few years,

Tarku has withdrawn from any future obligations related to this agreement, including those already secured by SOQUEM during the 2018 winter drilling campaign.

SASKATOON, June 14, 2018. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU) (the “Company” or “Tarku”) is pleased to announce the results of a 2,469-metre drilling program on the Guercheville Project in Québec that confirmed the potential of the Fenton Lake West surface showing. The polymetallic project is situated 50 kilometres southwest of Chapais in the Eeyou Istchee–James Bay Territory.

Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku, commented: “In addition to the known surface showings, the strong potential of the Guercheville Project has been demonstrated once again by the discovery of new mineralized intersections, such as 16.7 g/t Au over 1 metre, in a previously unknown horizon.” He added, “This horizon is roughly 60 metres north of the Fenton Lake West showing where 19.2 g/t Au was obtained, suggesting several mineralized horizons or structures may be present in this area, now drilled for the first time.”

The aim of the 11-hole program is to test the depth extensions of several gold and polymetallic surface showings and to investigate some of the geophysical anomalies identified by SOQUEM over the past few years (FIGURE 1). All targets were explained by the presence of sulphides as disseminations or stringers or by sulphide-bearing quartz veins and veinlets, almost all hosted in schistose and carbonatized basalts. These occurrences are similar to the mineralization observed in the adjacent Fenton deposit of SOQUEM and Cartier Resources where an intersection of 29.6 g/t Au over 2 m at a depth of 550 metres below the surface was recently announced, thereby doubling the known extension of their deposit (see news release of June 5, 2018; www.ressourcescartier.com) (Tarku cautions that the mineralization of the Fenton deposit may not be indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Guercheville Project).   

Some slightly anomalous Au and Cu zones were also encountered in quartz diorite and anorthosite of the Rivière Opawica Complex in the same area as the Fenton Lake West showing (drill holes 1391-18-30 and 1391-18-31). The most significant results from the drilling program are presented in the table below:

* Intervals are expressed as downhole core lengths. True widths could not be determined using the information available. n/s: not significant.

The analytical results of the 9 other holes (1391-18-22 to 1391-18-29 and 1391-18-32) did not yield values indicative of significant mineralization.

Drilling program and QA/QC

Drilling was carried out by Forages Hébert, based in Amos (Québec), from January 29 to March 12, 2018. Eleven holes were drilled with azimuths ranging from N210 to N230 and dips from -45º to -55º. Hole depths ranged from 150 to 375 metres. A total of 1,012 samples were collected for 1,375 metres of sampled core, representing 56% of all drill core. The analyzed samples were sawed half-core samples of NQ diameter, with the other half saved for future reference. A total of 88 control samples consisting of standards and blanks were inserted in the sampling sequence, representing 9% of all samples analyzed. The core samples were sent to the laboratories of ALS Minerals in Val-d’Or (Québec) and Vancouver (British Columbia) for gold analysis by fire assay with atomic absorption finish (ALS code: Au-AA23). All samples were also analyzed for a suite of metals and trace elements by the four-acid digestion ICP-AES method (33 elements, ALS code: ME-ICP61). Twenty (20) samples were sent for complete analysis (code ALS: CCP-PKG01) by combining the ICP-AES and ICP-MS methods for major and trace elements (codes ALS: ME-ICP06 and ME-MS81).

Guercheville Project

The Guercheville Project comprises 80 claims (4,385.64 ha) held 100% by SOQUEM and is located approximately 50 kilometres southwest of the town of Chapais, accessible year-round by forestry roads. As announced in the press release release of January 18, 2018, Tarku has the option to acquire, under certain conditions, a 50% interest in the property. According to the terms of the agreement, SOQUEM will be the operator of the work program in the first year and Tarku will have the opportunity to become the operator starting the second year.

The project has the potential to contain gold and base metal (Cu-Zn) mineralization similar to the adjacent Fenton deposit held 50% by SOQUEM and 50% by Cartier Resources. Gold concentrations in the Fenton deposit have been correlated with the presence of sulphide minerals, silica, sericite, chlorite and carbonate alteration, and areas of chargeability anomalies and magnetic highs within sheared pillow basalts, all of which have been observed on the Guercheville Project.

SASKATOON, February 28, 2018. Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX.V: TKU) (the "Company" or "Tarku") is pleased to announce it has identified new gold-in-till zones using the preliminary results of exploration work on the Apollo and Atlas projects in the Matagami area of Québec. These results highlight a main area where samples with more than 15 gold grains are concentrated, in addition to three up-ice gold targets that may be the source of the gold grains. The three targets, Apollo XI, Apollo XII and Apollo XV, are considered priorities for the upcoming work phases. They correspond to magnetic highs associated with carbonate-hematite-magnetite alteration along or near the regional gold-bearing Rivière Waswanipi Shear Zone. Julien Davy, president of Tarku, commented “We are very encouraged by these results. They support our interpretation that the gold context of these projects is similar to those of the regional Sunday Lake Deformation Zone, host of the Detour Lake mine and Midland Exploration’s new discovery, the Vortex Zone”.

To validate historical gold results and to locate the source of gold mineralization, Tarku carried out a till, humus and rock sampling survey in autumn 2017. The gold grain counts for samples collected on both projects ranged from 1 to 47, with 18 samples containing more than 15 gold grains, which is above the regional background level.

The results also reveal strong zoning and the presence of two areas with elevated gold grain counts (>15), with one particularly significant area in the south-central part of the Atlas Project. “From this area, it is possible to target the magnetic highs and alteration zones of Apollo XI, Apollo XII and Apollo XV which are located up ice of the last documented movement oriented N210º,” explained Tarku’s exploration manager, Benoit Lafrance. “These observations agree with our exploration model based on orogenic mineralization associated with alkaline rocks and porphyry intrusions.”     

“We acquired the Apollo and Atlas projects based on several points of geological interests. These include information provided by the most recent mapping of the area and historical results that identified gold grains in glacial deposits,” commented Julien Davy, president of Tarku. “The results revealed an area with high numbers of gold grains, which allowed us to concentrate our exploration efforts on specific zones along the Rivière Waswanipi Shear Zone and other promising contacts over a distance of more than 19 kilometres.”

Gold grain counting was done by optical microscope on coarse till fractions (> 50μ) and by scanning electron microscope (SEM) on fine till fractions (< 50μ) recovered by the ARTGold™ method (Advanced Recovery Techonology for Gold), an exclusive technology developed by IOS Service Géoscientifiques of Chicoutimi. The ground and helicopter-supported survey of November 2017 yielded 81 till and humus samples providing good coverage of both projects. The final results of the gold grain counts, the metal assays on fine fractions, the pebble counts, and the humus assays are expected over the next few months.    

Apollo and Atlas Projects

Using an innovative approach based on exploration models that differ from the traditional approach for this area, Tarku has acquired a large land position with strong potential for gold in the Matagami base metal camp, along the northern margin of the geological Abitibi Subprovince.

The Apollo Project, 100% owned by Tarku, is adjacent to the north of the Atlas Project. It consists of 105 claims (5,550 ha) centred on the Rivière Waswanipi ductile shear zone. This regional structure is characterized by the presence of alkaline rocks, polygenic conglomerates (Timiskaming type) and porphyry intrusions bearing anomalous gold values on the order of hundreds of parts per billion (GM 52712). This corridor, altered to carbonate-hematite-magnetite, contains the Rivière Waswanipi gold showing (2.36 g/t Au over 1 m; GM 51193) hosted in a porphyritic dyke and tuffs altered to pyrite-fuchsite. Collectively, these metallotects present a favourable setting for orogenic gold mineralization associated with alkaline rocks and porphyry intrusions, which Tarku interprets as being similar to those of the regional Sunday Lake Fault, host of the Detour Lake mine. Tarku cautions that the mineralization at the Detour Lake mine or at the Vortex Zone may not be indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Company’s Matagami projects and is used as a conceptual exploration model only.

The Atlas Project, 100% owned by Tarku, lies south of the Apollo Project. It consists of 89 claims (4,870 ha) characterized by a volcanic sequence with facies and geochemical affinities similar to those of the Bousquet Formation in the southern Abitibi (host to the Au-Zn-Cu-Ag LaRonde mine). The volcanic sequence is in contact with sedimentary rocks and is affected by aluminous sericite-chloritoid alteration. These observations are favourable indicators for the presence of gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization (Au-Ag-Cu-Zn).  Tarku cautions that the mineralization at the LaRonde mine may not be indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Company’s Matagami projects and is used as a conceptual exploration model only.
