Sept 9. Heard from two distinct fronts:
1-Geoscience BC, in partnership with Dajin Resources Corp. and Sultan Minerals Inc., is funding an airborne geophysical survey in southeast British Columbia starting in mid-September. The survey is designed to provide new geoscience information to help further our understanding of the mineral potential of this historic mining camp.
Fugro Airborne Surveys will fly this $542,000 time-domain electromagnetic survey over a 609 square kilometre area that stretches from Nelson to the US border, using a helicopter with sensing instruments suspended below the aircraft. The survey will commence on September 15th and run until approximately November 15th.
"The aim of the survey is to provide new geoscience information to help attract additional mineral exploration investment into this region and its communities," said 'Lyn Anglin, President and CEO of Geoscience BC. "Similar surveys in central British Columbia have led to an improved understanding of the region's geology and increased industry investment, and we're confident that this survey will do the same for the Kootenays."
The Kootenay area is highly prospective for base metal deposits such as lead-zinc, tungsten skarns and copper-gold porphyries, and was rated by the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources as having some of the highest mineral potential in British Columbia. The survey area includes the historic Jersey, HB and Reeves-Macdonald mines which were the second, third and fourth largest lead-zinc producers in the province. The survey also covers the historic Emerald tungsten mine -- Canada's second largest tungsten producer, the Sheep Creek gold camp and the Ymir gold camp.
The airborne survey will provide geologists with information about the rocks well below the surface, which will in turn help to identify exploration targets. The survey will complement other geoscience projects operating in the region, many of which have been coordinated as part of Natural Resources Canada's TGI-3 program. Results of the survey will be incorporated in Natural Resources Canada's databases and will be available for free in Spring 2009 through Natural Resources Canada and Geoscience BC's websites. Images of the data will also be posted on the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources' MapPlace website.
Geoscience BC is an industry-led, industry-focused not for profit society. Its mandate includes the collection, interpretation and marketing of geoscience data and expertise to promote investment in resource exploration and development in British Columbia. Geoscience BC works in partnership with industry, academia, government, First Nations and communities to attract mineral and oil & gas investment to BC.

Vancouver, B.C. - September 9, 2008 - Dajin Resources Corp. ("Dajin") (DJI-V: TSX) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on the Addie 2 property following receipt of the necessary permits from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources for a 20 hole drill program. North Star Drilling Services Inc. out of Kamloops B.C. has been contracted for completing the NQ2 core drilling program.
The drilling program is a follow-up of the soil geochemical program and airborne survey completed in 2007. The geochemical sampling identified a number of multi-element geochemical anomalies which contain gold in amounts up to 3683 ppb but more commonly in the 20 to 500 ppb range. The largest of the multi-element anomalous areas is approximately four kilometers long by one kilometer wide. The initial drill holes are sited to search under clusters of higher gold in soil values and to investigate the rock under gold anomalies with different suites of associated indicator elements.
The combination of gentle relief, thin glacial till cover and relatively soft black argillite over much of the anomalous region has heretofore prevented mapping the geology in significant detail. Knotted argillites similar or identical to those that host gold mineralization at Skygold Resources SPANISH MOUNTAIN Deposit and the FRASERGOLD Deposit are known to underlie substantial portions of the gold anomalies at the Addie 2.
The 100% owned Addie 2 group of 20 mineral claims, which cover over 21,500 acres, are located in the Eureka Peak region of the Cariboo Mining District in south central British Columbia and adjacent to the Frasergold Deposit which Hawthorne Gold Corp. and Eureka Resources Inc. are exploring. Assay results are expected to be released in the near future from a 10,000 meter core drilling program completed by Hawthorne earlier this summer at the Frasergold Deposit.
About Dajin: (www.dajin.ca)
In the Cariboo Mining District Dajin owns a 100% interest in 20 mineral claims and a 70/30 Joint Venture agreement with Hawthorne Gold Corp. (HGC-V: TSX) near the Frasergold Eureka Peak project, a 100% interest in 29 mineral claims in the Spanish Mountain region adjacent to Skygold Ventures Ltd's Spanish Mountain gold discovery and holds a Joint Venture agreement with Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. whereby Dajin can earn a 65% interest in the Cowtrail Property.
In the Nelson Mining District Dajin holds a 100% interest in 27 mineral claims in the Ymir region, 50 kilometers northeast of the Trail smelter, in south eastern British Columbia

Two good news. a geosurvey for Jackpot claims, etc... and drilling at Addie 2. Doubling the possibilities...
Of course, results are not for tomorrow but augurs well for year-end or early 2009.. Dji is one to watch.
