TORONTO, ONTARIO--January 27, 2014 - Takara Resources Inc. ("Takara" or the "Company") (TSXV:TKK) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. John C. Gingerich, P. Geo., to the board of directors. Mr. Gingerich's appointment as a technical member of the board of directors is particularly instrumental given that his exploration career as a geophysicist began in the Athabasca Basin and Beaverlodge with Eldorado Nuclear Ltd.

Mr. Gingerich is a professional geophysicist (APGO) with over 35 years experience in exploration, mining, and related technology industries. In a career that spanned 15 years within Noranda's Exploration group, he served as Chief Geophysicist and Director of Research and Technical Innovation, where he played a role in the evaluation, acquisition, and development of domestic and international mineral opportunities. In 2002, Mr. Gingerich founded Geotechnical Business Solutions (GBS), a company dedicated to the development and financing of exploration opportunities and related technology, and which provides consulting services to First Nation Communities.
Mr. Gingerich has served as a member of several industry and government boards and committees, including the previous Ontario Geological Survey Advisory Board (Chairman) and Exploration Division of the Canadian Mining Industry Research Organization. Currently, he serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Explorations Inc., and as Chairman of Bactech Environmental Corporation.
