Slide 7: Gold Mining in Japan
Gold Mining in Japan IRV:CNX|IRVRF:OTC • Since the beginning of the Edo period (1601), over 20 Moz of gold have been produced from Japanese gold mines…the top producers being Hishikari, Sado, Konomai and Yamagano. All of these mines exploit high-grade epithermal deposits. • Hishikari mine (Sumitomo
Slide 8: Modern Gold Mining in Japan
Modern Gold Mining in Japan • Hishikari mine is the largest active gold mine in Japan. Gold production is about 225 Koz per year. A head grade of 30 gpt Au is achieved by ore sorting, optical ore sorters used for small pieces of rock and hand labor used for sorting larger pieces (right). • Hishikari
Slide 9: Modern Gold Mining in Japan
Modern Gold Mining in Japan • Japan is an environmentally conscientious country. Although mining is still active, it must be conducted in the utmost responsible manner. Tolerance for large open pit mining and commensurate milling complexes and tailings dams is low. • Hishikari is an underground mine
Slide 10: Smelter Flux Industry in Japan
Smelter Flux Industry in Japan • Mining silica-rich gold ores and using them for smelter flux has a very long history in Japan. • Each year, Japanese smelters require many hundreds of thousands of tonnes of silica flux. • Mitsui, Sumitomo Metal Mining, Sumitomo Corporation, Nippon Mining (JX), Mitsu

Slide 12: Irving's Business Model
Irving’s Business Model IRV:CNX|IRVRF:OTC Irving recognizes the sensitivity of mining gold in Japan and has developed a strategy to honor this. Criteria Irving uses to select exploration targets include: • High-silica, precious metal-rich veins that are suitable as smelter flux. No milling will be r
Slide 13: Low Sulfidation Epithermal ("LSE") Veins
Low Sulfidation Epithermal (“LSE”) Veins This is the classic hot spring epithermal vein model in which gold and silver precipitate in response to boiling as geothermal waters rise toward surface (right). Deposits of silica (sinter) and clay form at surface such as at Yellowstone Park, USA (below). 1
Slide 14: Geology of Sumitomo Metal's Hishikari Mine
Geology of Sumitomo Metal’s Hishikari Mine • At Hishikari, veins preferentially occur near a major unconformity between Cretaceous sedimentary rocks and overlying Tertiary volcanic rocks (right). Extensive clay alteration is present at surface. • Veins locally bear abundant ginguro, banded silver su

Omu Project IRV:CNX|IRVRF:OTC Omu Project consists of the 2.98 sq. km. Omui Mining License (past gold producer) and prospecting licenses covering an additional 171.38 sq. km. Irving has undertaken comprehensive data collection at Omu including: • Specialized stream sediment sampling (BLEG - bulk lea
Slide 17: BLEG Results
BLEG Results IRV:CNX|IRVRF:OTC • Both Omu Sinter and Omui, and Hokuryu historic mining areas are well defined by BLEG 3 km Residual downstream anomaly gold results. • Gold anomalism extends to areas well east and southeast of the Omui mine site. Maruyama • Gold anomalism covers a vast area surroundi
Slide 18: Omu Sinter Drilling
Omu Sinter Drilling IRV:CNX|IRVRF:OTC Three rounds of drilling have been conducted at Omu Sinter, in mid-2019, early 2020 and early 2021. To date, drilling has encountered numerous high- grade vein intercepts such as hole 19OMS-002 which encountered 0.32 m grading 118.5 gpt Au and 1,410 gpt Ag and s

Slide 20: Omui Soil Sampling Results
Omui Soil Sampling Results • Soil gold anomalism is extensive at Omui. At Honpi and Nanko, many “hot spots” are evident, a likely indication that more veins have yet to be discovered. • Mineralization is open to the east. • Honpi and Nanko have been the subject of most drilling thus far. 1 km 20
Slide 21: Omui CSAMT
Omui CSAMT IRV:CNX|IRVRF:OTC CSAMT at Omui Mine shows a similar pattern to that seen at Omu Sinter. Lots of resistive structural zones are evident, the “plumbing” system that generated the high-grade veins. Like Omu Sinter, boiling is believed to have occurred at +350 m at Omui. In late 2019, Irving

Slide 29: Hokuryu CSAMT
Hokuryu CSAMT IRV:CNX|IRVRF:OTC CSAMT at Hokuryu displays a prominent resistive structure trending E- SE and open to the east. Historic mine workings only occupy a small area, so Irving believes there are many more veins to be found here. Phase I drilling is planned for September 2021. 29
