Takara Exercises Right to Purchase Guyana Goldfield's 70.1% Interest in the BRL/Arakaka Project in Guyana

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES.


Takara Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TKK) ("Takara") announces that it has elected
to increase its interest from 29.9% to 100% in the Arakaka Joint Venture Project
by exercising its right of first refusal in respect of the acquisition of Guyana
Goldfield's 70.1% interest in this large, advanced-stage gold project located in
Northwest Guyana in the Arakaka Gold District. The terms of sale among Guyana
Goldfields Inc. and Guyana Precious Metals Inc. are set out in a news release
disseminated by Guyana Precious Metals Inc., on April 26, 2011, namely, a cash
payment of US$3,734,000 and the reservation of a 1% net smelter royalty return
having a full buy-back for US$1M. Guyana Goldfields Inc. provided Takara with
notice of Takara's right of first refusal to purchase its interest, and the
closing and final terms are expected to be completed within 30 days.


Jennifer Boyle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Takara states: "By
augmenting our status from minority partner to that of controlling ownership in
this large, advanced-stage project that has had upwards of USD $17 million
invested, it elevates Takara's position among its peers in Guyana and enables
the Company to dovetail resources and activities at the Arakaka project with the
development of our 100% held Tassawini Deposit located 35 kilometers east of the
Arakaka Project". 


Takara, through its Guyanese subsidiary, StrataGold Guyana Inc., currently holds
a 29.9% interest in the Arakaka Joint Venture (formerly named BRL Venture), and
upon completion of the acquisition, Takara will be the holder of a 100% interest
in the Arakaka project, subject to various entitlements held by underlying
property vendors.


The Arakaka project area was formed as a 50/50 joint venture in 2005 by
StrataGold Guyana Inc. (the then subsidiary of StrataGold Corporation, a
publicly traded company) and Newmont Overseas Exploration Limited, a subsidiary
of Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE:NEM). In 2009 Victoria Gold Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:VIT) purchased StrataGold Corporation and subsequently vended its
subsidiary, StrataGold Guyana Inc., to Takara in 2010. Newmont carried the
majority of joint venture funding on the Arakaka ("BRL") project during the last
two years, resulting in a diluted 29.9% interest to StrataGold Guyana Inc. In
October 2010 Guyana Goldfields Inc. indirectly purchased Newmont's interest in
the Arakaka Joint Venture Project. 


The Arakaka Project hosts over 25 individual gold exploration targets and has
identified two meaningful mineralized zones to date. Exploration programs have
included regional and detailed stream sediment and soil geochemistry surveys,
induced polarization ground geophysical surveys, and detailed structural
mapping. Total drilling on the project to date is 7,400 meters (46 holes) and
7,395 meters of trenching (50 trenches). 


Dr. Tania Ilieva, P. Geo., is the Vice President Exploration for Takara
Resources and is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of
Takara's disclosures.
