(TSX-V: JG) (OTCQB: JGLDF) (\"Japan Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has expanded its epithermal gold exploration portfolio in Japan with the addition of three new projects in the highly prospective Kitami Metallogenic Province of north Hokkaido. The Onne, Fujimi and Harutomi Projects cover historic gold-silver and mercury mines in a prospective and largely underexplored area south of Japan Gold's Ikutahara Project.  \n\nThe three projects comprising 21 applications (6,871 hectares collectively), have been accepted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (\"METI\"). The Company now holds priority over these areas and is now authorized to commence surface exploration on these projects. With the addition of these new projects the Company's portfolio now comprises 66,477 hectares over 15 separate projects on the three main islands of Japan.\n\nThe new projects are located in the southern part of the Monbetsu-Rubeshibe Graben, one of two major graben features that localise mineralisation within the Kitami Metallogenic Province, (refer to the inset in Figure 1 http://japangold.com/20170918-fujimi-harutomi-onne-simplified-geology-2/). The area is underlain by Miocene-Pliocene age volcano-sedimentary rocks and older Jurassic to Cretaceous meta-sedimentary basement rocks.  The new projects lie along a 40 kilometer long east-northeast trending structural corridor which cuts across the southern part of the Monbetsu-Rubeshibe Graben and hosts more than fifteen historically developed gold-silver and mercury mines and workings, (refer to Figure 1 which shows the new project areas, gold-silver and mercury mines on simplified geology http://japangold.com/20170918-fujimi-harutomi-onne-simplified-geology-2/). \n\nPrevious studies in this area indicate the gold and m...
