Vancouver, British Columbia, April 24, 2019 (Globe Newswire) – Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) (“Irving” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that is has closed the non-brokered equity private placement (the “Financing”) with Newmont Goldcorp Corporation (“Newmont Goldcorp”) announced on April 23, 2019. The Financing raised gross proceeds of US$6,000,000 by the issuance of 3,715,630 common shares of the Company at a price of US$1.6148 (approx. CDN$2.16) per common share.
The proceeds from the Financing will be used as follows: 1) US$5,400,000 for exploration on the Company’s Omu Project in Hokkaido, Japan, and 2) US$600,000 for the formation of an alliance between Irving, its Japanese subsidiary and Newmont Exploration Pty Ltd.

“We are happy to close a strategic equity placement with Newmont Goldcorp,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, director of Irving. “Initial indications from our 2019 Omu drill program look promising, and this funding will allow us to aggressively explore this exciting gold project.
