Kaizen interest in Pinaya Project increased to 100%

Lima, Peru--(Newsfile Corp. - September 26, 2018) - Kaizen Discovery Inc. (TSXV: KZD) today announced that it has acquired ITOCHU Corporation's 10% interest in the Pinaya Project in Peru as a result of ITOCHU's decision to exit the project. Kaizen's ownership in Kaizen Peru Holdings — the indirect holder of the Pinaya Project — now has increased from 90% to 100%.

Kaizen intends to proceed with its planned drilling program at Pinaya.

"While it is disappointing that we are losing ITOCHU as our partner at Pinaya, we still consider the project to be one of the more compelling copper-gold prospects in Peru. Securing 100% control of the project will provide us with additional flexibility to potentially secure new partners seeking the discovery opportunities that are abundant in Peru," said Tom Peregoodoff, Kaizen's President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our review of data acquired with the project suggests that the high-grade copper and gold mineralization at Pinaya continues along strike from the currently defined resource area, and we will pursue that drilling in our initial program. The recently recognized Pedro Dos Milles target provides us with an opportunity to significantly expand the size of the resource. We plan to actively explore this and other targets along the mineralized trend."
