Tenajon Intersects More High Grade Molybdenum Values at Moly Brook Including 0.125% Molybdenum (Mo) over 108.51 Metres and 0.122
January 15 2008 - 7:31AM
Marketwired Canada
Tenajon Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TJS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that assay results have been received for five additional holes from the
recently completed 12 hole drill program at its Moly Brook Property located on
the south coast of Newfoundland. Hole MB 07-8 intersected a 217.02 metre section
averaging 0.097% Mo (0.162% MoS2). Within the intercept is a 108.51 metre
intercept averaging 0.125% Mo (0.208% MoS2). Hole MB 07-4 intersected 378.33
metres averaging 0.078% Mo (0.130 MoS2). Within the section are several
intersections grading better than 0.100% Mo including a 63.71 metre intercept
averaging 0.122% Mo (0.203% MoS2). The latest results extend the Moly Brook Zone
to a strike length in excess of 500 metres with significant mineralization being
encountered over a 300 metre elevation. Results for the final four holes are
pending. In addition, the Company has reviewed historical reports from the
property which show two short holes located 1.8 kilometers on trend to the south
from the Moly Brook Zone intersected molybdenum values. Results included a 27.43
metre long hole averaging 0.057% Mo with the last 7.61 metres averaging 0.118%
Mo (non 43-101 compliant).
"The 2007 drill campaign has resulted in consistent near surface, high grade
molybdenum intercepts over significant widths, showing that the Moly Brook
deposit has the potential to host a significant bulk tonnage molybdenum deposit.
Significant historical drill results on trend and approximately 2km to the south
of the Moly Brook Zone further highlight the size potential of this molybdenum
deposit," said Bruce McLeod, President & CEO of Tenajon. "This acquisition has
proved to be a valuable asset for Tenajon and complements the Ajax Molybdenum
deposit which hosts an inferred resource of 448 million tonnes averaging 0.063%
molybdenum (623.4 million pounds) and an indicated mineral resource of 38.8
million tonnes averaging 0.064% molybdenum (56.4 million pounds). We are
currently in the planning phase of a multi-drill follow up program on Moly Brook
which is to commence early this Spring."
In 2007, Tenajon completed twelve holes totaling 3,633 metres in length at Moly
Brook. The holes tested the target zone over 750 metres of strike length. Holes
MB 07-4 through 8 tested the Moly Brook Zone on strike from Holes MB 07-2 and 3.
Hole MB 07-7 tested the northern extension of the eastern portion of the Moly
Brook Zone north of the Moly Brook Fault. All of the holes intersected similar
styles of mineralization over varying widths. In part due to capacity of the
drill rigs, some of the holes ended while in significant molybdenum
mineralization. The latest results are summarized below, while complete results
for the latest 8 drill holes are attached at the end of this press release.

The results to date show the Moly Brook Zone hosts significant molybdenum values
over a 550 metre strike length with the zone being open on strike and to depth.
Hole MB 07-7 intersected molybdenum values north of the Moly Brook Fault with
anomalous values occurring throughout the last 200 metres. Hole MB 07-08 is the
deepest test of the Moly Brook Zone to date. Incorporating the results of Hole
MB 07-2 with those of Hole MB 07-8, the deposit shows high grade molybdenum
values have been encountered at the Moly Brook Zone over 300 metres in vertical
distance. The ultimate width of the zone has not been determined as several of
the holes ended in significant mineralization. A drill plan can be found by
following the enclosed link: http://www.ccnmatthews.com/docs/TENAmap115.JPG.
A recent review of assessment reports shows Buchans Mining Corp. drilled two
pack sack drill holes into a series of molybdenum bearing quartz veins located
approximately 1.8 kilometers to the south of the Moly Brook Zone. These veins
appear to be on trend with the a series of molybdenum bearing quartz veins
located 800 metres to the north, just south of Long Pond where previous sampling
by the Company returned values of up to 0.297% molybdenum in grab samples. The
historic results are summarized below.

Historic exploration data was collected before the introduction of NI 43-101,
and is presented for information purposes only. The Company has no way of
verifying the results. Investors are cautioned that recent independent
verification has not been completed and the historical data should not be relied
upon.
At the Moly Brook Property molybdenite occurs primarily along the rims of a
series of north trending, subvertical sheeted veins and fracture faces over a
450 x 1,100 metre area. On occasion quartz vein stockwork is formed with
molybdenite occurring in all of the vein orientations. Molybdenite also occurs
as disseminations within the intrusion. The style of mineralization appears to
be similar to that at Thompson Creek Metal's Endako Mine in British Columbia
where the majority of molybdenite occurs within a sheeted vein and fracture
system. Soil sample results, using the 25 ppm Mo in soil contour, outlines a
1,200 metre long and up to 700 metre wide anomaly. Coincidental with the soil
anomaly is a 1,500 metre long and up to 800 metre wide zone of high
chargeability, as defined by I.P. surveying.
The work at Moly Brook was completed by Geoscott Consultants under the
supervision of Dave Visagie, P. Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI
43-101.
At Moly Brook, drill core is sawn into halves with one half being sent for
analysis and the other kept for future reference. All samples are prepared at
Eastern Analytical using a 600 gram split with the resultant pulp being analyzed
at Acme Analytical Labs using a 4 acid digestion with analysis by Induced Couple
Plasma (ICP). A stringent program of check, blank and duplicate sampling is
employed throughout with duplicates, standards and blanks being entered into the
sample stream at regular intervals.
