Exploration Update Blackwater East / West and Dave 2 Properties, Central BC

Jul. 6, 2011 (Canada NewsWire Group) --

KIRKLAND LAKE, ON, July 6, 2011 /CNW/ - RJK Explorations Ltd., (RJX.A: TSV) ("RJK") is pleased to provide an update to its exploration activities on the 13,850 hectare Blackwater East, West and Dave 2 properties, which are contiguous to and adjoining New Gold Inc.'s 43-101 compliant multi-million ounce Davidson-Blackwater bulk-tonnage gold deposit located approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Vanderhoof, B.C.

Prospecting crews have completed preliminary prospecting, sampling and mapping of the properties. First phase soil sampling over selected sites on the Blackwater East Property has also been completed and all samples have been submitted for analysis.

Despite extensive glacial till cover, prospecting efforts have been very successful in locating mineralized, altered and brecciated Rhyolites on the properties similar to rocks hosting the Davidson-Blackwater gold deposit. Assays are pending from these sites.

In addition, RJK has contracted Geotech Ltd., to fly their Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic System (ZTEM) over the properties. "We feel that the utilization of this system is best suited for what we are looking to find at Blackwater," said Glenn Kasner, President of RJK. "This system has superior depth penetration, low frequency for penetration through conductive overburden and excellent resistivity discrimination and detection of weak anomalies."

The survey crew and gear is now being mobilized to site with the survey to begin on or about July 10th.
