Japan Gold (JG) has closed an upsized C$17 million non-brokered private placement.

The company issued 48,571,429 shares at a price of C$0.35 per share.

Japan Gold would like to recognize CIBC, Hannam & Partners and Red Cloud Securities for their support in completing the financing.

John Proust, the Company’s Chairman and CEO commented,

“With the closing of this financing, Japan Gold is well-capitalized to initiate new drill programs on its wholly owned Ikutahara Project in Hokkaido and Ohra-Takamine Project in southern Kyushu. I would like to thank investors for their overwhelming support. The high demand for this private placement is a testament to the quality of the assets and partnerships we have assembled, and the concurrent advancement of the country wide evaluation of 29 projects under the Barrick Alliance. We look forward to what we believe will be an exciting year ahead for our Company.”
