Dec. 2, 2010 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
KIRKLAND LAKE, ON, Dec. 2 /CNW/ - RJK Explorations Ltd., (RJX.A: TSV)
("RJK") wishes to announce that it has entered into a property option
agreement whereby RJK can acquire an undivided 100% interest in 18
claims covering 8,250 hectares in the prolific Nechako Plateau, called
the "West Blackwater Gold Property." The West Blackwater Gold Property
is located in central British Columbia, approximately 110 km by road
southwest of Vanderhoof. The optioned claims lie to the west-southwest
and are contiguous to the Blackwater Project of Richfield Ventures
Corp. (RVC).
Investor interest in the Richfield Blackwater gold discovery has
resulted in the blanket staking of the Nechako plateau area surrounding
Richfield. This was triggered by a Richfield news release on Jan.5/2010
that announced -"The entire hole averaged 1.25 g/t Au over a sampled
length of 329.2 metres from bedrock to the bottom of the hole."
Recently, on Nov.23/2010, Richfield issued another news release with
these drill results -"with 171 metres of 3.13 g/t Au, BW 91 is one of
our best intersections to date and BW 90 extends the zone to the east,
leaving it open in that direction."
RJK Explorations intends to conduct a heli-borne magnetic and
electromagnetic survey on the West Blackwater Gold property in order to
identify targets for follow-up exploration in the spring. It should be
noted that the property lies within the mountain pine beetle affected
area of central British Columbia, in which exploration expenses are
eligible for an enhanced tax credit rate of 30 per cent.
To exercise the option on the West Blackwater Gold Property, the Company
must make cash and share payments over a three year period totaling
$255,000 cash ($55,000 on signing) 1,200,000 shares (500,000 on
signing) $750,000 in work commitments ($250,000 in year one). The
property is also subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty, of which
1% may be purchased from the vendor for $1,000,000.
