Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) is pleased to announce assays from five shallow diamond drill holes completed at Omui Mine site, part of its 100% controlled Omu Gold Project, Hokkaido, Japan, in late 2019.
Omui Mine Site Drilling Highlights:
“Six of seven shallow holes from Omui Mine site display significant vein intercepts,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, director and technical advisor to Irving. “This is remarkable given the early stage of this project and high level which was tested. Hole 19OMI-010, our first deep test at Omui, tests under an area where assays indicated a root feeder might lie at depth. Once we sawed core from this hole, we saw numerous veins displaying specks of electrum and ginguro, a positive sign. We eagerly await assays from that hole. We are happy to be drilling at Omu Sinter once again and are encouraged that our first new hole has encountered several quartz vein intervals. We look forward to drill testing deeper levels at Omu Sinter very soon. In short, 2020 is off to a very good start.”

True widths of veins intercepts discussed in this news release cannot be estimated at this time. Further drilling is needed to accurately assess vein orientations. All samples discussed in this news release are ½ split sawn diamond core samples. Irving submitted rock samples to ALS Global, Australia, 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 MS following three acid digestion. Irving staff and personnel from Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co., Ltd. (MINDECO) are responsible for geologic logging and sampling of core.
