(TSXV: JG) (OTCQB: JGLDF) (\"Japan Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report high-grade gold-silver intercepts from its first drill holes at the Ryuo Prospect, within the Ikutahara Project, Figure 1. The Ikutahara Project is 100% held by Japan Gold and is not included in the Barrick Alliance. The Ryuo Prospect hosts five areas of workings along a 1 km open ended trend of alteration and mineralization that were developed prior to the government-imposed closure in 1943. Three initial scout drill holes totaling 828.3 m were completed between May and July 2021. Figure 2 shows the geology of the Ryuo Prospect area, the location of the completed drill holes and the pads permitted for future drilling. Table 1 summarizes the drilling results. Drill hole IKDD21-001 targeted down-dip extensions of high-grade gold-silver mineralization historically mined at the Jinja Vein. A broad mineralized interval was encountered (reported as downhole intervals) with the following results:                                 4.9 m @ 12.1 g/t Au & 33.0 g/t Ag from 60.6 m                                       (incl. 0.9 m @ 18.4 g/t Au & 115.8 g/t Ag from 60.6 m)                                      (and 1.95 m @ 20.5 g/t Au & 21.0 g/t Ag from 63.55 m)                                      (incl. 0.55 m @ 59.4 g/t Au & 49.5 g/t Ag from 63.9 m)                                      (incl. 0.25 m @ 125.0 g/t Au & 97.0 g/t Ag from 64.2 m)The intersection in IKDD21-001 shows that high-grade gold and silver mineralization remains open to depth below the Jinja Vein workings and, having a true width of 4.74 m, is significantly wider than average vein widths reported historically in the underground workings (See Figur...
