RJK Explorations Clarifies High Grade Silver Intersections on Blackwater East, Northeast Claims and Begins Exploration on Blackwater West, Dave 2 Claims

KIRKLAND LAKE, ON, June 19, 2012 /CNW/ - RJK Explorations Ltd., (RJX.A: TSX-V) - Drill hole BWE12-06, as reported on Wednesday, June 13, 2012, was a vertically drilled, NQ size hole that intersected a mineralized section over a 3.3 metres core length starting at a vertical depth of 79 metres. This intersection was reported as 2,710 parts per million (ppm) silver, which is equivalent to a more commonly recognized result of 2,710 grams silver/tonne or 79.04 ounces silver/ton. The second silver intersection, located 6.62 metres further down the hole, was reported as 38.9 ppm silver and is the equivalent of 38.9 grams silver/tonne or 1.13 ounces silver/ton. In other words, RJK drilled a high grade intersection of a potential silver discovery.

RJK considers these silver intersections to be very significant. Additional geological/structural interpretation, geophysical and geochemical work will be completed prior to a follow-up drill program utilizing a drilling procedure - reverse circulation - better suited to the rock formations encountered by the core drilling. Reverse circulation drilling will provide a larger sample size and better recovery of any of the mineralized zones encountered in the core drilling.

Blackwater West Claims

RJK Explorations has also resumed exploration on the Blackwater West and Dave 2 properties with a field crew currently on the ground. Initial exploration work will consist of follow-up prospecting, soil sampling, line cutting and IP geophysical surveying to add to the exploration work done in 2011. Once completed and following receipt of government issued permits, RJK intends to begin a drill program to test a minimum of 4 targets that have already been identified.

RJK is highly encouraged by the initial results and the potential of its two claim groups in the Blackwater Gold camp and advises interested parties to sign up on the RJK web site - www.rjkexplorations.com - for further updates on the Company's exploration efforts.
