Japan Gold Corp. (TSXV: JG,OTC:JGLDF) (OTCQB: JGLDF) ("Japan Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a 3D Induced Polarization ("3D IP") and resistivity geophysical survey at its Bajo Project on the southern island of Kyushu, Japan. The 3D IP survey is designed to identify and refine drill targeting for future drill programs.
The 3D IP survey is being conducted by Zonge Engineering and Research Organization (Aust) Pty Ltd., following the recent completion of a CSAMT/AMT survey at the Company's Hakuryu Project in Hokkaido. The 3D IP survey covers a targeted area measuring approximately 8 km by 5 km and comprises roughly 24 line-kilometres. It will utilize GDD receivers and a transmitter to support multi-channel data acquisition and high-quality signal recording. The survey grid has been designed to support full 3D inversion modeling of the subsurface while also allowing individual 2D line sections to be evaluated. This detailed 3D dataset is expected to enhance interpretation of the subsurface and guide the Company in refining exploration targets and prioritizing follow-up work.
The Bajo Project contains the historic Bajo Mine, which historically produced approximately 421,000 ounces of gold. The majority of production came from the Sakuru-Hi vein, which reportedly yielded grades of 125.9 g/t Au and 557 g/t Ag1.
