Vancouver, British Columbia, June 26, 2020 (Globe Newswire) – Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) (“Irving” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement on a non-brokered equity private placement (the “Financing”) with a new strategic investor, Sumitomo Corporation (“Sumitomo”), headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
