Update on RJK Exploration's Blackwater East, Northeast, West and Dave 2 Properties

KIRKLAND LAKE, ON, June 5, 2012 /CNW/ - RJK Explorations Ltd. (RJX.A: TSV) ("RJK") is providing an update to ongoing exploration activities on its 15,040 hectare Blackwater East, West, Northeast and Dave 2 properties, located in the Blackwater Gold Camp, approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Vanderhoof, B.C. The RJK properties are contiguous to the east and west of New Gold's Blackwater multi-million ounce bulk tonnage gold deposit

Blackwater East, Northeast Properties:

RJK advises that it has now completed its phase one drilling program at the Blackwater East and Northeast properties consisting of approximately 2,370 metres of diamond drilling. This drilling was orientated to test a number of initial targets, which had been derived from airborne/ground geophysical surveying, prospecting and limited soil geochemical sampling completed during the 2011 field season. All of the completed drill holes have now been logged, sampled and submitted for assay. As RJK awaits the final results, it is now preparing plans for follow-up drilling.

Blackwater West, Dave 2 Properties:

The Company is also resuming work on its Blackwater West and Dave 2 properties to follow-up on the 2011 field program which consisted of DIGHEM and ZTEM airborne geophysical surveying, limited line cutting, limited ground IP geophysical surveying and localized prospecting which had returned up to 0.3% Cu and 2.5 g/t Ag from bedrock sampling in felsic volcanics.

Initially RJK will concentrate its efforts on a minimum of four high priority areas that will be refined by additional line cutting, ground IP geophysical surveying and geochemical soil sampling which will prepare them for drill testing as soon as drill permits are received.

The Blackwater West and Dave 2 properties are strategically located in the emerging Blackwater Camp. They are surrounded by New Gold's gold/silver deposit and claim group immediately to the East, Independence Gold's "3 T's" gold deposit immediately to the South, Amarc Resources' claims and targets to the West / Southwest and New Gold's "Capoose" silver/gold deposit to the North.

"The Company eagerly awaits the remaining assay results from the initial drilling on the Blackwater East and Northeast properties and is excited to resume work at the Blackwater West and Dave 2 properties. We have favourable geological settings for mineral deposition along with a number of mineral occurrences coupled with the results of our initial work along with the fact that RJK is adequately funded, all of which should make for a very interesting exploration season this year," said Glenn Kasner, President.
