Heraldo de Madrid - Irving Updates Progress at Its Omu Gold Projects, Japan

Omu Gold Project Update
In November, immediately following the consummation of an option agreement with JX Advanced Metals Corporation ("JX") over select areas at the Omu gold project (refer to the Company's news release dated November 13, 2024), Irving, under the direction of JX, drilled a single, strategically positioned diamond drill hole, 24OMI-001, at the Omui historic mine site (Figure 1). This hole was shallowly oriented toward the south testing an area up to approximately 150m south of Honpi, the main vein that was mined during the 1930's. Beginning at approximately 35m down hole depth, hole 24OMI-001 encountered extensive quartz veining and silicification to the end of the hole at 101m. The objective of this hole was to determine if there are shallow, gold-bearing quartz veins and silicified ore that could potentially be exploited by surface mining. This work is viewed as part of the vision to make Omu into a new source of gold-bearing silica flux for use in smelters in Japan. Irving is encouraged by the visual results from this drill hole which is currently being logged, sawn and sampled for assay. During 2025, JX and Irving plan to drill an additional three such holes testing more parts of Omui for shallow veins and silicified ore.

"Irving is back to work drilling at both East Yamagano and Omu," commented Quinton Hennigh, director and geologic advisor to Irving. "2025 has a lot in store. The current drill hole being drilled at East Yamagano, 24SY-002, displays abundant quartz veins, a promising sign. The first hole we have completed with JX at Omui appears to have encountered a considerable number of shallow quartz veins, an encouraging start to the strategically planned search for shallow silica here. We look forward to having a steady stream of updates and news from both drill programs throughout the year."
