NEWS RELEASE

Irving Resources Commences Drilling at Omui, Hokkaido, Japan

Vancouver, British Columbia , October 7, 2019 (Globe Newswire) – Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV)

(“Irving” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce drilling has resumed at its 100% controlled Omu

Gold-Silver Project, Hokkaido, Japan. Over the next few months, drilling will focus on the Omui mine site

where Irving has developed three high-grade drill targets, Honpi, Nanko and Sakinyama.

Recent completion of a controlled source audio -magnetotelluric (“ CSAMT”) geophysical survey has

highlighted details about the underlying alteration system at Omui and generated several high priority drill

targets at the interpreted level of boiling within the hydrothermal system. More details will be provided

soon in a news release detailing results from Omu property wide CSAMT surveys. In addition, recent

trenching at Omui has provided information about the position and orientation of near -surface high-grade

veins.

Irving has planned 5,115 m of diamond drilling, 3,100 m of which is allocated to deep holes (+300 m) that

test zones of strong resistivity interpreted to be areas of silicification potentially associate d with vein

mineralization. The balance of drill metres will be allocated to shorter holes that test down dip extensions

of outcrop ping high -grade veins, vein breccias and zones of stockwork veining. Irving anticipates

completing approximately 2,500-3,000 m of this drill program by year end, weather dependent, at which

point the drill will be repositioned to conduct follow up drilling at Omu Sinter at lower elevation. The

balance of the planned Omui drill program will be completed in 2020 after snowmelt.

“We are very excited to begin drilling at the Omui mining license site” c ommented Akiko Levinson,

President and Director of Irving. “Omui is one of three targets (Omui, Omu Sinter, Hokuryu) at our Omu

gold-silver project, but its high-grade veins attracted us to the over 160 sq km entire Omu area in 2016.”
