[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 21, 2017) - Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) (CSE:IRV.CN) (CNSX:IRV) (\"Irving\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has received high grade gold and silver grade assays from surface samples recently collected at its 100%-controlled Omu gold-silver project, Hokkaido, Japan (Figures 1 and 2). Figure 1: Gold assays from 2017 rock chip samples. Figure 2: Silver assays from 2017 rock chip samples. Omui Mining License Exploration work at Omu is being undertaken by Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co., Ltd. (\"MINDECO\") under the supervision of Irving personnel. At the Omui mine site and surrounding areas, detailed soil sampling on a 50x50 meter staggered grid is nearing completion. In the course of extracting soil samples, pieces of mineralized rock float are sometimes encountered and sampled. At the Honpi (\"Main Vein\" in English) prospect, recent rock float samples have returned 186.5 gpt Au and 353 gpt Ag, 11.75 gpt Au and 71.1 gpt Ag, 6.77 gpt Au and 33.3 gpt Ag, and 5.27 gpt Au and 177 gpt Ag. In addition, a new vein was encountered in a hand dug trench and a chip channel sample returned 203 gpt Au and 5,310 gpt Ag over a true width of 0.8 m. Irving believes mineralized float material is derived from underlying weathered bedrock and that these new results indicate potential for multiple sub-parallel east-west trending veins across a 200-meter wide corridor surrounding Honpi. At the Nanko prospect, recent rock float samples have greatly expanded the area of known mineralization. Notable samples include 691 gpt Au and 515 gpt Ag, 42.5 gpt Au and 539 gpt Ag, 3.98 gpt Au and 3.92 gpt Ag in areas south of Nanko. Northeast of Nanko, notable samples include 39.3 gpt Au and 20.2 gpt Ag, 16.55 gpt Au and 40.9 gpt Ag and 7.09 gpt Au and 10 gpt Ag. Like Honpi, Irving believes mineralized float material is derived from underlying weathered bedrock and that these results indicate potential for multiple sub-parallel east-west trending veins across a 350-meter wide corridor at Nanko. While these assay results are encouraging, Irving is awaiting return of other data sets to more fully evaluate potential drill targets at Omui. Soil sampling is nearing completion, and analytical results are expected back over the next few weeks. A detailed gravity survey has recently been complete...
