JAPAN GOLD COMPLETES CSAMT/AMT GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT MIZOBE PROJECT

Japan Gold Corp. has completed a 21.3-line-kilometre controlled-source audio magnetotellurics (CSAMT) and natural source (AMT) geophysical survey at the Mizobe project in Kyushu, Japan.

The completed CSAMT/AMT survey has provided comprehensive subsurface resistivity imaging across the project and represents the next phase of exploration at the Mizobe project.

The CSAMT/AMT survey results have been integrated with recently completed gravity and magnetic inversion models, structural interpretations, and results from the company's 2023 and 2025 drilling programs to generate a refined geological model of the Mizobe project. The resulting geological model has significantly improved the company's understanding of the geological framework, including structures and potential hydrothermal fluid pathways associated with gold mineralization beneath postmineral volcanic cover.

This enhanced geological model provides a strong foundation for the next phase of exploration and will be used to refine existing targets, identify additional high-priority drill targets, and finalize a multitarget drill program to systematically test the most prospective zones for concealed epithermal gold mineralization.

The Mizobe project is a key exploration priority for the company and is located approximately 23 kilometres south of the world-class Hishikari mine, where more than 8.76 Moz (million ounces) of gold have been produced since 1985 by Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd.

Previous drilling has confirmed significant hydrothermal alteration and gold mineralization beneath postmineral volcanic cover, supporting the company's interpretation of a concealed epithermal gold system. Results include an intercept of 10.0 metres grading 4.27 grams per tonne gold from 122.75 metres in drill hole MZDD23-003 (see news release dated June 28, 2023).
