Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) is pleased to announce its first two diamond drill holes completed at Omui Mine site, part of its 100% controlled Omu Gold Project, Hokkaido, Japan, have encountered high-grade Au-Ag vein intercepts. In addition, a recently completed deep hole at Omui Mine site has encountered multiple epithermal veins within the boiling zone at vertical depths of over 300 m.

“We are excited by the high grades seen in our first two holes from Omui Mine site,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, director and technical advisor to Irving. “Given these intercepts occur high in the system, we think they bode well for the discovery of further high grade veins within the boiling zone below. Our first deep hole, 19OMI-010, has intersected multiple veins displaying clear indications of boiling and provides us our first glimpse of the deeper part of the system at Omui. We eagerly await further assays from this exciting discovery at our Omu Gold Project.”
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.
