AGENCIES PRESS RELEASE


Takara Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TKK) ("Takara") announces that it has,
together with its strategic alliance partner, Aphrodeities Mining (Pty) Limited,
completed and submitted to the South African Department of Minerals and Energy,
applications for Prospecting Rights ("Applications") on 26 properties
prospective for coal; all of the properties are located in South Africa, in a
region active in coal exploration and production.


The properties that are subject to the submitted Applications were selected on
the basis that they cover areas which are underlain by coal-bearing formations
(South African Council for Geoscience). The Applications include a proposed Five
Year Prospecting Work Program. Should all Applications be accepted and the
prospecting rights granted, the total exploration commitment over a five year
period, in order to maintain all 26 properties in good standing during the life
of the permits, would total approximately CDN$8,000,000. Of this amount,
CDN$360,000 would be obligated to be incurred for the Year 1 program.


The granting of a Prospecting Right from the South African Department of
Minerals and Energy is based on the fulfillment of various criteria, one of the
most important being the ability to demonstrate a measure of participation by
historically disadvantaged South African residents who, prior to 1994, did not
have access to such opportunities (this regime is commonly referred to as Black
Economic Empowerment ("BEE")). Additionally, financial and technical ability are
important elements that will be considered.


The application process in South Africa is competitive, and accordingly, there
is no assurance that Takara will be granted any of the Prospecting Rights
applied for. Takara's strategic alliance with Aphrodeities Mining (a company
that qualifies as a BEE) however, provides a level of strength as a junior
explorer in South Africa, and in the southern parts of Africa, particularly
given the mutually exclusive attributes that each partner brings to the effort.


In the event that Takara Resources is awarded any of the rights applied for, it
shall hold an indirect 50% interest in the permits through a private subsidiary
company, that is held 50% by Takara and 50% by Aphrodeities, a private
arms-length South African company engaged in mineral exploration.


The memorandum of understanding between Takara and Aphrodeities Mining formed
the mandate for the Venus Energy Strategic Alliance, which continues to be in
force. In addition to launching the Applications for Prospecting Rights
described above, Takara and its local geological team are actively pursuing,
evaluating, and negotiating terms for the acquisition of various existing coal
projects, both in the Republic of South Africa and in southern Africa.


There is no guarantee that Takara will be granted any of the Prospecting Rights
applied for, nor is there any assurance that the titles to the properties
applied for will be available by the time that the Applications are vetted in
full by the Department of Minerals and Energy. Accordingly, Takara will continue
to review additional properties prospective for coal exploration with a view to
making additional Applications, as well as working closely with its geological
advisors in respect of ongoing evaluation of advanced/existing coal projects
held by third parties.
