Vancouver, British Columbia — February 12, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Tajiri Resources Corp. (TSXV: TAJ) has announced results from its Phase II trenching program at the majority owned Yono Project in Guyana, indicating three significant gold zones potentially hosting economic mineralization.
The Yono Project is contiguous with and surrounded by the Oko and Oko West Properties of G2 Goldfields Inc. (TSX: G2) and G Mining Ventures (TSX: GMIN), which collectively host 6.9 Moz and 2.0 Moz of Indicated and Inferred Resources. The Oko West Deposit of GMIN is currently under construction with production slated for Q1 2028.
According to the release, the three significant zones with potential to host economic gold mineralization are:
North ‘Tweener Zone – Carbonaceous Metasediment Contact: A cluster of trench intersections including YTR16 (20m @ 1.4g/t), YTR4R (12m @ 2.5g/t), YTR18 (4m @ 1.8g/t & 4m @ 5.5g/t Gold) is situated on the northern boundary of Yono. Mapping indicates a complex mineralized and folded contact zone between carbonaceous metasediments and a sequence of interbedded chloritic metasediments + volcanics. The zone strikes, dips and plunges southwards into Yono and is possibly an extension of the same mineralized contact encountered in YTR4, which returned 19m @ 4.6g/t Au 400m south of the above-mentioned intersections. In addition, the Zone may strike southwards for ~ 800m before reaching the Projects boundary.
Ridgeline Splay Zone – Diorite Contact: YTR8 intersected 18m @ 0.8g/t including 10m @ 1.1g/t Gold. The intersection reveals a gold mineralized contact between diorite and country rock that extends through Yono for a distance of ~ 1,200m. The geological setting is directly analogous to the large Ghanie and Oko West deposits which are hosted in the contact zone of the Ghanie Diorite and lie at their closest point ~150m from the Yono.
Eastern Border Zone: YTR 15, located in the southeast corner of Yono intersected 18m @ 0.5g/t including 8m @ 1.0g/t Gold. Mapping indicates the zone has a similar strike to Ghanie and the northern part of the Oko West Deposits at ~ 10-15°. The zone strikes northwards along the eastern boundary of Yono for a distance of some ~ 700m through the previously reported intersection of 1m @ 10.8g/t Gold encountered in trench YTR7 and into a cluster of higher auger values including, 1.6g/t Gold further north, before being inferred to pass into the tenure of G2.
The implication of the zone is that it demonstrates the existence of potentially economic mineralization west of, striking parallel to and near the Ghanie and Oko West deposits. To date, there has been a dearth of exploration within the tenure of both G2 and GMIN along the Yono border area despite there being abundant alluvial and bedrock artisanal workings indicating mineralized zones may exist in the footwall of the Ghanie Diorite within this area. The exploitation of any substantial mineralization discovered, west of the Ghanie and Oko West deposits may require mining operations impinging onto Yono.
According to the release, a 2,610m trenching program, targeting better auger anomalies is underway. To date, 1,800m has been completed and field operations recommenced January 15. An additional ~ 1,500m of trenching is being planned, and trenches to explore beyond YTR3, 3R, 16 & 17 are in progress.
Trenching and mapping has identified ferricrete capping a large portion of Yono. As a result, the Company is evaluating power auger drilling and/or shallow RC drilling to effectively test gold anomalies beneath the ferricrete cap, which is typically strongly leached of gold.
Executive Chairman, Dominic O’Sullivan, stated that the company’s confidence in the potential for Yono to host significant economic gold mineralization continues to grow with each phase of results. He added that the project now hosts at least three mineralized structural-stratigraphic corridors totaling approximately 3 km of strike length, each returning gold grades in excess of 1 g/t. Additional anomalous zones have also been identified that may develop into higher-grade mineralization along strike or at depth. Based on these results, the Company is accelerating its exploration programs and is in the process of hiring additional geological staff and mobilizing a second excavator to expedite trenching.
