Brossard (Quebec) – TheNewswire - September 5th, 2019 Nippon Dragon Resources Inc. (“Nippon” or “NDR”) (TSXV:NIP), is pleased to provide an update on the most recent developments regarding the Rocmec 1 gold property. In order to maintain its claims surrounding its mining lease at Rocmec 1, the company has drilled a 400m exploration hole located to the east of the permitted mining lease with an azimuth of 351N and dip of -50 degrees collared in NAD83 at 611974E & 5344664N. Drill hole RS-19-01 intersected 4.56 g/t Au over 2m core length including 6.45 g/t over 1m.

Reclamation work at Rocmec 1 is under the supervision of GoldMinds Geoservices Inc. and involves removal of steel and wood scrap, terrain levelling and covering of pads with soil.
Rocmec 1 project
The Rocmec 1 project is located in the Dasserat Township, Province of Québec on the shores of the Labyrinthe Lake. It is approximately 35 kilometres west of the town of Rouyn-Noranda and is easily accessible from Route 117 and the frontier gravel road separating Quebec and Ontario and a secondary gravel road to the site. The property was acquired in October 2005, dewatering and rehabilitation of the mine commenced in January 2006. To date, Nippon Dragon has invested approximately $33,000,000 in rehabilitating the property, surface and underground infrastructure, diamond drilling, equipment and drifting. The property includes a 100m deep two compartment shaft, an 844 metre decline allowing access to five levels (50, 70, 90,110 and 130 metres). On these levels a total of 1700 metres (drifts and cross-cut drifts) were driven. The Rocmec 1 ore body is well defined by diamond drill holes. The 2010 NI 43-101 states mineral resources of 570,300 tonnes of measured and indicated at 6.52 g/t for 119 500 ounces of gold and 1.51Mt of inferred at 7.4 g/t for 359 000 ounces of gold.
QA/QC
The drilling was done in NQ by MultiDrilling of Rouyn-Noranda under supervision of GoldMinds Geoservices Inc.’s technical team. Sampling normally consists of cutting the core into equal halves along its main axis and shipping one of the halves to the ALS laboratory for preparation and analysis by fire assay for gold. A comprehensive QA/QC protocol, including the insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates, was used and results are in line with expected results allowing the public disclosure of the results.
