Irving Resources Inc. announced assays from five shallow diamond drill holes completed at Omui Mine site, part of its 100% controlled Omu Gold Project, Hokkaido, Japan, in late 2019. Four of five shallow holes testing an area around the historic Honpi encountered significant vein mineralization bringing the total number of holes to encounter significant veins to six out of seven, remarkable given the early stage of this project Exact strike, dip and true thicknesses of veins are unknown at this time, but it is believed variable vein orientations may be present. To date, significant results include: 19.25 gpt Au and 27.50 gpt Ag (19.57 gpt Au eq) over 1.00 m in hole 19OMI-001, 6.05 gpt Au and 808.18 gpt Ag (15.56 gpt Au eq) over 1.80 m in hole 19OMI-002, 3.52 gpt Au and 5.40 gpt Ag (3.58 gpt Au eq) over 1.50 m in hole 19OMI-004, 2.07 gpt Au and 154.27 gpt Ag (3.88 gpt Au eq) over 1.30 m in hole 19OMI-005, 7.35 gpt Au and 470.99 gpt Ag (12.89 gpt Au eq) over 1.60 m in hole 19OMI-006, 11.89 gpt Au and 16.31 gpt Ag (12.09 gpt Au eq) over 2.25 m in hole 19OMI-007. The first seven holes were drilled along a north-south oriented fence and all test shallow-level veins situated well above the prospective boiling zone of the Omui system thought to be at a depth of approximately 350 m. One goal of these seven shallow holes was to ascertain where the highest density of shallow veining and mineralization is present to help target a deeper root feeder. A cross section along this drill fence suggests such a target lies at depth near the south end of the drill fence or just beyond. This is an area where controlled-source audio-magnetotelluric (“CSAMT”) data indicates the presence of a broad, deep-rooted, northwest-trending electrically resistive zone is present. This feature is interpreted to be silicified rocks and associated veining generated by hydrothermal activity. Following issuance of that news release, Irving staff logged, sawed and sampled core from this hole. Between approximately 348 and 550 m, numerous quartz veins were noted, at least nine of which display small particles of electrum (natural gold-silver alloy) and/or ginguro (silver sulfosalt minerals) on sawn surfaces. Assays from this hole are expected back late January or early February. Resumption of drilling at Omu Sinter began on January 7, 2020. Hole 20OMS-001 tests an area near hole 19OMS-002 which encountered a vein grading 29.77 gpt Au and 575.7 gpt Ag (36.71 gpt Au eq) over 1.33 m. Hole 20OMS-001 is currently at a depth of approximately 278 m and has encountered several intervals of high-level banded vein quartz, some of which display ginguro. It is hoped this hole will shed further light on the geometry and nature of the vein system in this area. Following completion of this hole, Irving has planned a series of deeper holes that test a recently identified prominent CSAMT resistive feature that forms a root structure trending north-south along the axis of this large target. These will be the first deep holes drilled at Omu Sinter.
