(CSE:IRV) (“Irving” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on drilling at its 100% controlled Omu Gold Project, Hokkaido, Japan. Diamond drill hole 19OMS-003 has been completed to a depth of 465.1 m at the Omu Sinter target (also known as Otoineppu Mine). Hole 19OMS-003 was drilled in a south-southeasterly direction at an inclination of 55 degrees and was designed to test southern extensions of mineralization encountered in hole 19OMS-002 (please refer to the company’s press release dated May 6, 2019 for further information) as well as confirm the presence of an east-west trending structure in this area (Figure 1). Hole 19OMS-003 deviated westerly as it was drilled, and therefore did not intersect as much of the mineralized zone as hoped. Nonetheless, silicification and mineralization were robust at depths beginning around 350 m to the point at which the hole intersected the east-west structure at a depth of approximately 426 m. Photos of core from hole 19OMS-003 have been posted on Irving’s website. Veining, vein breccias and sulphide mineralization similar to that seen in hole 19OMS-002, was observed in hole 19OMS-003 (Figures 2, 3 and 4). Intensity of pyrite was particularly high immediately before encountering the cross structure, a fault that appears to have displaced the system following emplacement. Rocks beyond this fault are notably less altered and mineralized. A new hole, 19OMS-004, has been collared approximately 140 m south-southwest of hole 19OMS-003, and is oriented in an east-southeasterly direction at an inclination of 60 degrees. It is designed to fully cut the projected north-south trending mineralized zone including the high-grade vein encountered in hole 19OMS-002. Since Irving’s last news release, hole 19OMS-002 has been split and shipped to ALS Global, Australia, for analysis. Hole 19OMS-003, is currently being sawn and sampled. Sawing and sampling of hole 19OMS-001 has been delayed until saw blades capable of cutting the intensely silicified rock at the top of this hole can be sourced. Assays from hole 19OMS-002 are expected back in early June.
