Japan Gold Corp. announced that drilling has commenced at the Ohra-Takamine Project in the Southern Kyushu Epithermal Gold Province, Japan. Highlights were the drilling program consists of an initial 2 drill holes (approximately 950 meters) positioned to test below ore shoots mined at the Urushi and Ohra mines; and Historic records report high-grade production including: 21,000 ounces of gold mined at grades greater than 20 g/t at the Ohra mine; and a vein shoot within the Urushi mine which carried grades between 50-100 g/t gold. Ohra-Takamine Drilling Program: The drilling program consists of an initial 2 drill holes, (approximately 950 cumulative meters) along the open ended, 3.5 km corridor of alteration and epithermal mineralization defined by the Ohra, Takamine and Urushi historic mines, where mining was halted in 1943 by the government-imposed moratorium. Historic production data indicated the presence of high-grade mineralization at the Ohra and Urushi mines, including 21,000 ounces mined at grades greater than 20 g/t gold at Ohra between 1915 and 1925, and the data also reported that the number 2 vein in the Urushi mine hosted a high-grade shoot that carried grades between 50 to 100 g/t. Work programs completed earlier this year within the project show historically mined quartz vein mineralization coincides with gold and pathfinder element in soil anomalies, linear vertically-extensive CSAMT resistivity anomalies, and northeast and northwest structural intersections inferred from processed gravity data. Planned drill holes will target down-dip extensions of high-grade mineralization mined in shallowly developed workings at Urushi and Ohra coincident with the geochemical and geophysical anomalies. The Company is currently unable to utilize its own drilling teams due to ongoing international border closures and consequently has contracted the Ando Chisitsu Drilling Company who have experience drilling in the local conditions including the epithermal vein deposits at the nearby Kushikino gold mine. Diamond core drilling will be carried out from surface to depths of up to 600 meters.
