Irving Resources (IRV) has purchased two new diamond drills for its exploration programs in Japan.
One is a new Zinex A5 diamond drill has been secured through GeoTech Drilling Services Ltd., Prince George, British Columbia, and is anticipated to be shipped to Japan this week, arriving mid-July.
The other is a new LF90DT diamond drill has been secured through Boart Longyear, Adelaide, South Australia, and is anticipated to be delivered in the third quarter of this year.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, director, and technical advisor to Irving, called this a “bold step” for the company, one that will allow the team to be more aggressive with its exploration plans.
“COVID brought to the fore many issues, especially international travel in and out of Japan. We foresee buying these drills and building a solid in-house team of drillers who can stay with us over the years as a critical means of advancing our high quality portfolio of epithermal gold-silver projects. Having two rigs will also help us with flexibility. We will now have the ability to drill two areas simultaneously which gives us the ability to tackle projects such as Yamagano, our Hishikari analogue in Kyushu. We look forward to getting both of these drills in place by the third quarter of this year.”
The company also announced that it had completed a second diamond drill hole at the Omui mining license, part of the Omu gold-silver project, at the end of April.
Phase I drilling has also resumed at Irving’s Hokuryu target, part of the Omu project, performed by Japanese drill contractor, SRED.
Irving is a junior exploration company with a focus on gold in Japan.
Irving Resources Inc. (IRV) opened trading at $C1.10 per share.
