The Company continues to advance its exploration strategy with the commencement of a next-phase drill program at its 100% held Mizobe Project located on the island of Kyushu (refer to news release dated September 9, 2025). The program is comprised of four drill holes totalling approximately 1,600 metres, targeting high-grade mineralization beneath previously intersected mineralized zones. The current program also aims to test resistivity and chargeability anomalies identified in a 2023 Induced Polarization survey. The earlier intercepts were drilled within the Barrick Alliance, as detailed in the Company's February 29, 2024 news release. The Mizobe Project was subsequently released by Barrick Mining from the Barrick Alliance as announced in the news release dated August 19, 2024.
In addition, the Company recently completed a three-hole drill program at the Barrick Alliance Ebino Project, at the Otsuka and KZ targets, to evaluate the potential for epithermal quartz vein development at depth, as announced in the Company's June 10, 2025 news release. Drill results from this program are pending.
In August, the Company closed an oversubscribed non-brokered private placement financing raising gross proceeds of C$2,067,600. Net proceeds will be used for general and administrative expenses, as outlined in the news release dated August 25, 2025. Under the offering, the Company issued 25,845,000 common shares at C$0.08 per share, including 17,182,500 shares acquired by strategic investor and major shareholder Equinox Partners Investment Management LLC.
