Irving Resources Receives Approval of Prospecting Applications at its Omu Gold Project, Japan

Vancouver, British Columbia – (Globe Newswire – May 29, 2018) – Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) (“Irving” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Irving Resources Japan GK, has recently received approval of nine prospecting licenses from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (“METI”), Hokkaiko Bureau at its Omu Gold Project, Japan. These nine licenses were submitted for expedited approval and cover critical areas around Irving’s Omui Mining License and the Omu sinter, the Company’s highest priority exploration targets at its 100% controlled Omu Gold Project Hokkaido, Japan. They were granted with support from the town of Omu.

Once these nine prospecting licenses have been registered, the Company will submit exploration plans, including proposed drilling, for approval. A draft of the separate mining and exploration plan has already been submitted for planned work including drilling, trenching and bulk sampling on Irving’s Omui Mining License. Irving anticipates commencement of advanced exploration as soon as either or both of these approvals have been received.

Magnetic Survey at Omu

In mid 2017, Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co., Ltd. (MINDECO) developed a drone-based system, the first ever in Japan, capable of collecting detailed magnetic data at low altitude for Omu Gold Project. While waiting on exploration plan approvals, Irving is conducting addition drone-based magnetic surveys at Omu to expand upon findings from last year (please refer to Irving’s news release dated January 22, 2018 for further details). A new magnetic survey is being conducted between the Omu sinter, where a well-defined structurally controlled magnetic anomaly was identified, and the Omui mine. Gravity data indicates these two mineralized areas are connected by a deep-rooted fault system and that further mineralization may be present between the two areas. Irving hopes to demonstrate this connection by way of its new magnetic survey.
