[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / December 11, 2025 / Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV)(OTCQX:IRVRF)(FSE:1IR) ("Irving" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its epithermal gold-silver holdings on the Noto Peninsula, Honshu, Japan (Figure 1). The Company's 99 Noto prospecting licenses (337.37 sq km) cover four discrete potential target areas displaying stream sediment gold, silver, arsenic, antimony, mercury and/or copper anomalism and, once granted, would make Irving the largest holder of prospecting licenses in the Noto area (please refer to the Company's news release dated March 12, 2021). The Noto Project is a joint venture between Newmont Overseas Exploration Limited ("Newmont"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation ("Sumitomo") and Irving. The initial interests of the parties in the joint venture are Newmont, 60%, Sumitomo, 12.5%, and Irving, 27.5%.","length":962,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"During the latter half of 2020, Irving conducted stream sediment ("BLEG") surveys over much of the Noto Peninsula, a region with geologic similarities to nearby Sado Island, host to the famous high-grade gold mine, Sado Kinzan (Mitsubishi Material Corporation).

Veins at Sado Kinzan are classed as epithermal, were productive over vertical distances of several hundred meters and display anomalously high copper values. Beyond Sado Kinzan type veins, Irving considers the Noto Peninsula prospective for other styles of gold mineralization including intrusion related type.","length":791,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"While Irving's early exploration work at Noto was impeded by restrictions during the Covid pandemic and, subsequently, due to the massive earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula on January 1, 2024, the Company has gradually ramped up activity at Noto beginning in June 2024 implementing systematic rock and soil sampling programs.
