Tajiri expands gold mineralization at Yono as Trench 16 grows to 100 metres in Guyana

Tajiri Resources has extended mineralization at the Yono Project in Guyana after lengthening Trench YTR16 by 80 metres, returning 50m at 0.7 g/t gold, including 32m at 1.1 g/t gold. The company has accelerated additional trenching to better define the zone.

Tajiri Resources (TSX-V: TAJ) has reported a fresh extension of gold mineralization at its Yono Project in Guyana, after expanding Trench YTR16 and confirming broader near-surface continuity than previously reported. The update strengthens the company’s case that Yono may host a larger gold system within one of the most active exploration corridors in the country.

The company said Trench YTR16 was extended 80 metres to the south of the original 20-metre trench, bringing its total length to 100 metres. The extended section encountered mineralization starting at 50 metres, returning 50m at 0.7 g/t gold, with the interval from 68m to 100m grading 32m at 1.1 g/t gold.

Higher-grade interval adds weight to the result

Within the broader mineralized section, Tajiri also reported a higher-grade interval of 2m at 7.3 g/t gold from 86m to 88m, adding further geological interest to the YTR16 trend.

The latest result effectively builds on the company’s earlier YTR16 disclosure, which had highlighted 20m at 1.4 g/t gold. The new trench extension now shows that mineralization continues beyond the original trench footprint, even if grades vary across the expanded interval.

Tajiri accelerates trenching to define the mineralized zone

Following the latest results, Tajiri said trenching to the east, west and south of YTR16 is continuing and has been expedited in order to better define the geometry and extent of the gold-bearing zone.

Executive Chairman Dominic O’Sullivan said the width of the mineralization is “highly significant” and described it as a strong indication that the same large mineralizing system associated with nearby deposits may extend into and through Yono.

Yono benefits from its location beside a major gold district

A key reason the market is paying attention to Yono is its location. Tajiri said the project sits adjacent to more than 8.9 million ounces of indicated and inferred gold resources tied to G2 Goldfields’ Oko Main Zone and Ghanie deposits and G Mining Ventures’ Oko West deposit.

That proximity does not confirm geological continuity, but it does place Yono in a proven gold neighborhood with established scale. This is an inference based on the project’s bordering position next to defined multi-million-ounce resources.

Recent trenching continues to build the exploration story

The new YTR16 extension follows earlier Phase II trenching results reported in February, when Tajiri outlined multiple gold corridors at Yono, including 12m at 2.4 g/t gold, 20m at 1.4 g/t gold, 18m at 0.8 g/t gold and 4m at 5.5 g/t gold.

Taken together, the February and March trenching updates suggest Tajiri is steadily building evidence of broad, shallow mineralization across more than one target area at Yono. This is an inference based on the sequence of reported trench results rather than a declared resource.

Why it matters

For a junior explorer like Tajiri, expanding trench widths and accelerating follow-up surface work is important because it helps build geological scale before drilling. At Yono, the next key question for investors is whether these trench results can support a larger, more systematic drill campaign capable of testing continuity, thickness and grade at depth. This is an inference based on the company’s current trench-focused stage and the absence of a published resource.
