Japan Gold (OTCQB: JGLDF) completed CSAMT and AMT geophysical surveys at the Hakuryu Project (December 2025) identifying multiple resistivity anomalies that align with surface alteration and vein trends.
The anomalies extend along an approximately five-kilometre prospective strike, supporting drill pad preparation ahead of a planned drilling campaign. A 2025 drill hole returned 16.15 g/t Au over 0.60 m (re-assay 24.10 g/t over 0.60 m). Hakuryu sits at the southern end of the 16-kilometre Konomai gold field, historically reported to have produced ~2.35 Moz at 6.4 g/t.
Japan Gold (OTCQB:JGLDF) has started a 3D IP and resistivity survey at its Bajo Project in Kyushu to refine drill targets. The survey covers ~8 km by 5 km (~24 line‑km), uses GDD receivers and a transmitter, and is run by Zonge Engineering.
The Bajo Project hosts the historic Bajo Mine with ~421,000 oz historic gold production and reported high‑grade vein assays. The company also terminated a marketing Services Agreement with CanaCom Group, which subscribed $110,000 in placement shares; the TSX Venture Exchange did not accept the agreement and a refund for unprovided services was agreed.
Japan Gold (OTCQB: JGLDF) granted OR Royalties a 9‑month extension to November 4, 2026, to acquire an additional 0.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty by paying US$3.0 million.
The Amending Agreement lets OR Royalties raise its existing royalty from 1.5% to 2.0% if exercised. Japan Gold may accelerate the exercise date after May 5, 2026, with 30 days' notice if a JV with a mid‑tier or major requires ≥C$5.0 million cash investment into the company or covered properties. The amendment remains subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Japan Gold (OTCQB: JGLDF) reported results from two diamond drill holes (1,156 m) at the Mizobe project, Kyushu, Japan, with multiple gold intercepts including 1.82 g/t Au over 1.50 m (MZD25-008) and 1.07 g/t Au over 2.0 m (MZD25-009). MZD25-008 contained a higher-grade subinterval of 3.53 g/t Au over 0.50 m. Drill hole MZD25-009 also intersected the first documented banded chalcedony vein at Mizobe, a low-sulphidation epithermal indicator. Reported intervals are downhole lengths; true widths are not yet determined. The company plans follow-up work to map the alteration system, define controls on mineralization, and test targets for higher-grade continuity.
