Tarku identifies new Gold Targets on the Apollo and Atlas Projects

SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN--(Marketwired - Feb. 28, 2018) - Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX VENTURE: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".
