“Assays from holes 20OMI-004 and 20OMI-005 provide us with a more complete profile of the Nanko hot spring system,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, director and technical advisor to Irving Resources. “We clearly have a well-preserve deposit with a large silicified cap and veins underneath. At least two sets of veins are present, one trending generally northwest, and the other, northeast. Recently completed holes approximately 200 m northeast of the Nanko discovery holes have intersected veins that appear to be part of the same network. Assays for these holes are expected back late this year after which time a structural study will be undertaken to better understand the entire vein system at Omui Mine Site. Meanwhile, our drill has moved to Omu Sinter where four holes are scheduled for completion over the coming months.”
The Omu region continues to report no cases of COVID-19, and Irving continues to operate under strict Company guidelines.
All samples discussed in this news release are ½ split sawn diamond core samples. Irving submitted rock samples to ALS Global, Vancouver, Canada, for analysis. Au and Ag were analyzed by fire assay with AA finish. Overlimit samples were assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Multielements were analyzed by mass spectrometry following four acid digestion. Irving staff and personnel from Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co., Ltd. (MINDECO) are responsible for geologic logging and sampling of core. Au equivalent is calculated by adding Au (gpt) to Ag (gpt)/75. Assay turn around has been slow due to COVID-19 and high throughput demand at the Vancouver laboratory.
