Irving Resources Inc. said May 29 that its Irving Resources Japan GK unit received approval from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for nine prospecting licenses at its Omu gold project.
These licenses were submitted for expedited approval and cover critical areas around Irving's Omui mining license and the Omu sinter targets.
The company plans to submit exploration plans, including proposed drilling, for approval, once these licenses are registered. A draft of the separate mining and exploration plan has already been submitted for planned work including drilling, trenching and bulk sampling on the Omui license.
Irving expects to kick off advanced exploration as soon as either or both of these approvals are received.
