Vancouver, BC, October 11, 2011 � Taku Gold Corp. (the �Company�) (TSXV: TAK) is pleased to release the attached video detailing the Companies 2011 drill program on the Portland property in Yukon. The goal of the drill program was to test the continuity of a gold-bearing structure first identified historically as the Gold Run showing. Trenching in 2010 traced the structure over a strike length of 250m on surface. Systematic chip sampling in the trenches returned gold values across the structure up to 97.23gpt Au (uncut) over 7.0m with a maximum value of 455.76gpt Au (Taku Press Release � December 7, 2010).

The results quoted above are based on analytical work completed at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. (�Acme�) in Vancouver, British Columbia. Acme is accredited under ISO 9001. Rock samples were prepared by crushing 1kg to 80% passing -10 mesh and then pulverizing a 250g sub-sample to 85% passing -200 mesh. Rocks were analyzed for gold by 30g fire assay, ICP-ES finish. Over limit (>10gpt Au) samples were re-assayed by 30g fire assay, gravimetric finish. Mark Fekete, P.Geo is the designated �qualified person� as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 responsible for reviewing the technical content of this release.
