[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) (OTCQX:IRVRF) (FSE:1IR) (\"Irving\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce receipt of encouraging assay results from the Omu Sinter epithermal gold-silver project located near Omu, Hokkaido, Japan. In addition to these positive results, recent diamond drilling has encountered apparent feeder style hot spring mineralization along the eastern extension of the sinter terrace. Omu Sinter Drill Results In late 2025, as part of a civil engineering groundwater survey and rock strength drill program, three shallow, vertical diamond drill holes were completed yielding robust intervals of gold- and silver-bearing silica sinter. The water table was observed at the drilling depth of approximately 30m or 9m above sea level. Also, the aquifer was preliminary interpreted to lie at the basal fractured zone. This indicates most of this deposit occurs above the water table. Results are summarized in the table below and a plan view and cross sections are presented in Figures 1-3.

Gold and silver are ubiquitous in this material. In a smelter furnace, these metals concentrate in the base metal matte at the bottom of the chamber making recovery of gold and silver very effici...
