Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2026) - Japan Gold Corp. (TSXV: JG) (OTCQB: JGLDF) ("Japan Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of an expanded 3D Induced Polarization ("3D IP") and resistivity geophysical survey at the Bajo Project in Japan (see news release dated February 26, 2026 ). A total of 37.6 line-kilometres of 3D IP was completed over an 8 km by 5 km area at Bajo between February and May 2026.
The 3D IP survey was successful in identifying multiple chargeability and resistivity anomalies that are interpreted to be comparable to geophysical signatures observed in areas of historical mining. The survey was designed to characterize the geophysical response associated with known veins, including the Sakuru-Hi vein, which historically reported grades of up to 125.9 g/t Au and 557 g/t Ag1, and apply this interpretation across the 8 km-long project area. Preliminary interpretations of the survey results suggest the presence of extensions and sub-parallel features that appear continuous across multiple survey lines, with interpreted strike lengths exceeding 1 km. These interpreted anomalies show strong spatial correlation with mapped surface alteration, veins, and structural trends across the project area.
With multiple prospective anomalies identified by the 3D IP survey, the next phase of exploration will focus on target prioritization, followed by the planning and execution of a diamond drilling program in consultation with local stakeholders. The drilling program will be designed to test the highest-priority geophysical anomalies supported by the integrated geological and structural interpretation of the project area.

Community Engagement
Japan Gold continues to engage with local communities and municipal leaders as part of its commitment to responsible and collaborative exploration at the Bajo Project. In May 2026, Japan Gold, in partnership with Zonge Engineering and Research Organization (Aust) Pty Ltd., was proud to support a local community experiencing water supply challenges by conducting a resistivity survey to identify potential groundwater sources and evaluate suitable locations for a new water well. In June 2026, members of Japan Gold's management team held a public consultation meeting with community members and local leaders to provide an update on ongoing exploration activities and discuss future exploration plans within the project area.
