Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2024) – Japan Gold Corp. (TSXV: JG) (OTCQB: JGLDF) (“Japan Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of an extensive six-month review of its portfolio and resulting reduction from 35 to 26 projects from its holdings in Japan. The review was led by Mr. Fraser MacCorquodale, President and COO of the Company. The Company holds the largest prospective land package in Japan and has built a comprehensive framework of data for the evaluation of tenements covering areas of gold occurrences.
“We have a large tenement holding across the three main islands of Japan, and we needed to take a strategic approach to ground reduction in order to focus and prioritize our resources and advance Japan Gold exploration targets’, said Mr. MacCorquodale. “The relinquished tenements did not meet our target criteria.”
The Company has identified multiple gold exploration targets in the Kitami metallogenic province in North Hokkaido, the Noto Peninsula in Honshu, and in the Middle and Southern Kyushu epithermal gold provinces, where the Company has a dominant tenement coverage (see Figures 1-4). The gold mining regions are hosts of past and existing mines such as the world-class Hishikari Mine and where modern exploration activities are at an early stage for many prospects.
Mr. John Proust, Chairman and CEO of the Company, added, “Japan Gold has spent over a decade collecting the data that is required to make discoveries. We are now focusing on our best prospects and concurrently advancing three priority projects under the Barrick Alliance. Fraser’s depth of experience in analyzing epithermal gold deposits is accelerating the discovery process.”
