VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2024 / Irving Resources Inc.

Under the Option Agreement, JX Metals may earn a 75% interest at Omu Sinter Pit (1.962 square kilometres) to a depth of approximately 50 metres below surface and may earn up to a 75% interest at Omuisenbu (0.127 square kilometres) to a depth of approximately 60 metres below surface (collectively, the "Option"), as shown in Figure 1. In order to exercise the Option, JX Metals must incur at least 300,000,000 yen (approximately C$2,850,000) in exploration and property related expenditures over three years, subject to extension in the event of certain circumstances.

"We are delighted with JX Metals' commitment to our Omu project," commented Ms. Akiko Levinson, a director of Irving and its president and chief executive officer. "When we first acquired the Omu project in 2016, we did so based upon our business model of developing high-silica deposits suitable for use as smelter flux in the expansive Japanese base metal smelting industry. At Omu, we have identified several precious metal-bearing silica deposits including the large, shallow body of hot spring silica at Omu Sinter. We have also identified numerous precious metal-rich high-silica veins at Omui, Hokuryu and Omu Sinter. Our vision is to develop such deposits into a long-lived source of smelter flux, and JX Metals shares our goal. Although Irving plans to continue to explore at Omu on its own especially at depth, we see this collaboration with JX Metals as the start of an important relationship and our Omu project potentially becoming the newest source of precious metals-rich silica flux in Japan."
