Irving Updates Progress at Its Omu Gold Projects, Japan
Irving Resources (IRVRF) has provided an update on its exploration activities at the Omu gold project in Hokkaido, Japan. Following an option agreement with JX Advanced Metals in November, the company completed a strategic diamond drill hole (24OMI-001) at the Omui historic mine site. The drill hole, positioned approximately 150m south of the Honpi vein, encountered extensive quartz veining and silicification from 35m to 101m depth.
The drilling aims to identify shallow, gold-bearing quartz veins and silicified ore that could be mined from the surface, potentially serving as silica flux for Japanese smelters. Irving and JX plan to drill three additional holes at Omui during 2025 to test for shallow veins and silicified ore. The company is currently conducting core logging, sawing, and sampling for assay of the completed drill hole.
Irving Resources (IRVRF) ha fornito un aggiornamento sulle proprie attività di esplorazione presso il progetto aurifero Omu a Hokkaido, in Giappone. Dopo un accordo di opzione con JX Advanced Metals a novembre, l'azienda ha completato un foro di perforazione strategico (24OMI-001) presso il sito minerario storico di Omui. Il foro di perforazione, posizionato a circa 150m a sud della vena Honpi, ha incontrato un'ampia presenza di venature di quarzo e silicificazione da una profondità di 35m a 101m.
La perforazione mira a identificare vene di quarzo contenenti oro e minerale silicificato a bassa profondità che potrebbero essere estratti dalla superficie, servendo potenzialmente come flusso di silice per i fonderie giapponesi. Irving e JX pianificano di perforare altri tre fori a Omui durante il 2025 per testare la presenza di vene poco profonde e minerale silicificato. L'azienda sta attualmente conducendo il logging del nucleo, segando e campionando per l'analisi del foro di perforazione completato.
Irving Resources (IRVRF) ha proporcionado una actualización sobre sus actividades de exploración en el proyecto de oro Omu en Hokkaido, Japón. Tras un acuerdo de opción con JX Advanced Metals en noviembre, la empresa completó un agujero de perforación estratégica (24OMI-001) en el sitio minero histórico de Omui. El agujero de perforación, situado aproximadamente a 150m al sur de la veta Honpi, encontró una extensa mineralización de cuarzo y silicificación desde 35m hasta 101m de profundidad.
La perforación tiene como objetivo identificar venas de cuarzo con oro y mineral silicificado a baja profundidad que podrían extraerse desde la superficie, sirviendo potencialmente como flux de sílice para las fundiciones japonesas. Irving y JX planean perforar otros tres agujeros en Omui durante 2025 para probar la presencia de venas superficiales y mineral silicificado. La empresa está llevando a cabo actualmente el registro de núcleo, corte y muestreo para el análisis del agujero de perforación completado.
Irving Resources (IRVRF)는 일본 홋카이도 오무 금 프로젝트에 대한 탐사 활동 업데이트를 제공했습니다. 11월에 JX Advanced Metals와 옵션 계약을 체결한 후, 회사는 오무이 역사적인 광산 지역에서 전략적 다이아몬드 드릴 홀(24OMI-001)을 완료했습니다. 이 드릴 홀은 혼피 맥의 남쪽으로 약 150m 위치해 있으며, 35m에서 101m 깊이까지 대규모 석영 맥과 실리시피케이션을 발견했습니다.
드릴링은 표면에서 채굴할 수 있는 얕은 금 함유 석영 맥과 실리시피케이션 된 광석을 식별하는 것을 목표로 하며, 이는 일본 제련소의 실리카 플럭스로 사용될 수 있는 잠재력을 가지고 있습니다. Irving과 JX는 2025년에 오무이에서 얕은 맥과 실리시피케이션 된 광석을 테스트하기 위해 추가로 세 개의 구멍을 드릴링할 계획입니다. 회사는 현재 완료된 드릴 홀의 코어 로그 기록, 절단 및 샘플링을 진행 중입니다.
Irving Resources (IRVRF) a fourni une mise à jour sur ses activités d'exploration au projet aurifère Omu à Hokkaido, au Japon. Suite à un accord d'option avec JX Advanced Metals en novembre, la société a complété un trou de forage stratégique (24OMI-001) sur le site historique de la mine d'Omui. Le trou de forage, positionné à environ 150m au sud de la veine Honpi, a rencontré d'importantes veines de quartz et de la silice de 35m à 101m de profondeur.
Le forage vise à identifier des veines de quartz aurifères peu profondes et des minerais silicifiés qui pourraient être exploités depuis la surface, servant potentiellement de flux de silice pour les fonderies japonaises. Irving et JX prévoient de forer trois trous supplémentaires à Omui en 2025 pour tester la présence de veines superficielles et de minerais silicifiés. L'entreprise effectue actuellement un enregistrement des carottes, de la sciage et des échantillons pour l'analyse du trou de forage complété.
Irving Resources (IRVRF) hat ein Update zu seinen Explorationsaktivitäten im Omu-Goldprojekt in Hokkaido, Japan, bereitgestellt. Nach einer Optionsvereinbarung mit JX Advanced Metals im November hat das Unternehmen ein strategisches Diamantbohrloch (24OMI-001) am historischen Bergbaustandort Omui fertiggestellt. Das Bohrloch, das etwa 150m südlich der Honpi-Ader positioniert ist, traf auf umfangreiche Quarzadern und Silikifizierung in einer Tiefe von 35m bis 101m.
Die Bohrungen zielen darauf ab, flache, goldhaltige Quarzadern und silikifizierte Erze zu identifizieren, die von der Oberfläche abgebaut werden könnten und potenziell als Silikaflux für japanische Schmelzen dienen könnten. Irving und JX planen, 2025 drei weitere Bohrlöcher in Omui zu bohren, um nach flachem Erzgängen und silikifiziertem Erz zu suchen. Das Unternehmen führt derzeit Kernprotokollierung, Sägen und Probenahme zur Analyse des abgeschlossenen Bohrlochs durch.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 23, 2025 / Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV)(OTCQX:IRVRF) ("Irving" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its Omu gold project, Hokkaido, Japan.
Omu Gold Project Update
In November, immediately following the consummation of an option agreement with JX Advanced Metals Corporation ("JX") over select areas at the Omu gold project (refer to the Company's news release dated November 13, 2024), Irving, under the direction of JX, drilled a single, strategically positioned diamond drill hole, 24OMI-001, at the Omui historic mine site (Figure 1). This hole was shallowly oriented toward the south testing an area up to approximately 150m south of Honpi, the main vein that was mined during the 1930's. Beginning at approximately 35m down hole depth, hole 24OMI-001 encountered extensive quartz veining and silicification to the end of the hole at 101m. The objective of this hole was to determine if there are shallow, gold-bearing quartz veins and silicified ore that could potentially be exploited by surface mining. This work is viewed as part of the vision to make Omu into a new source of gold-bearing silica flux for use in smelters in Japan. Irving is encouraged by the visual results from this drill hole which is currently being logged, sawn and sampled for assay. During 2025, JX and Irving plan to drill an additional three such holes testing more parts of Omui for shallow veins and silicified ore.
"Irving is back to work drilling at both East Yamagano and Omu," commented Quinton Hennigh, director and geologic advisor to Irving. "2025 has a lot in store. The current drill hole being drilled at East Yamagano, 24SY-002, displays abundant quartz veins, a promising sign. The first hole we have completed with JX at Omui appears to have encountered a considerable number of shallow quartz veins, an encouraging start to the strategically planned search for shallow silica here. We look forward to having a steady stream of updates and news from both drill programs throughout the year."
