An additional four drill holes are underway to test extensions of a largely concealed mineralized system.In June, the Company reported results from its initial drill program at Mizobe, drill hole MZDD23-003 intersected several including 10.0 metres @ 4.3 g/t Au & 6.6 g/t Ag hosted in altered breccias. Several of the mineralized zones encountered remained open and with the following revised intervals (see Figures 1 & 2, and Tables 1 & 2 below):MZDD23-003144.0 m @ 0.7 g/t Au & 2.1 g/t Ag from 47.0 m Including: 68.25 m @ 0.9 g/t Au & 2.1 g/t Ag from 122.75 m; 16.0 m @ 2.8 g/t Au & 4.5 g/t Ag; and, 10.0 m @ 4.3 g/t Au & 6.6 g/t Ag (previously released interval)Andrew Rowe, Vice President Exploration for Japan Gold states: \"The wide mineralized interval in MZDD23-003 provided a very compelling result, given the thin post-mineral ash concealment and that it was located a kilometre from the nearest drill hole. \"MZDD23-004, currently being drilled 500 metres to the south of MZDD23-003, is also providing additional encouragement as immediately below the shallow ash cover, drilling has encountered a 30-metre down-hole length of intensely altered breccia hosting abundant sulphide and numerous banded carbonate-quartz veins, some with ginguro-sulphide banding. This intensity of alteration and veining was not seen in MZDD23-003 and bodes very well for the tenor of gold mineralization in the current drill hole. The team is very excited by the current visual results given the ...
