Nippon Enters into a Joint-Venture Agreement to Develop its Denain Gold Property

Brossard, Quebec / TheNewswire / August 31st, 2018 -- Nippon Dragon Resources Inc. ("Nippon" or "NDR") (TSX-V Symbol: NIP), is pleased to announce that it has signed a joint-venture agreement with a group of private investors to develop its Denain gold property.

The objectives of the newly formed joint-venture are twofold, the first objective is to drive a 400 metre exploration decline to evaluate the grades from surface to -60 metres, and the second objective is to perform a bulk-sample with Nippon's exclusive and patented thermal fragmentation mining process.

Within the joint-venture agreement, the private investor group must provide $CDN 3 million in order to obtain a majority interest in the project and it is non-dilutive to Nippon's shareholders. Management will provide additional information pertaining to the joint-venture agreement and updates regarding the scope of work in a timely manner.

"I am extremely pleased with the interest by the group of private investors in our Denain project and the fact that the transaction is non-dilutive to Nippon's shareholders" stated Mr. Donald Brisebois, president & CEO of Nippon Dragon Resources Inc.

Denain project

The Denain property is located approximately 60 km east of Val d'Or, Quebec. The property is readily accessible from an all-weather road and this gold bearing zone resembles the iron formation found at the nearby past-producing Chimo mine. Nippon Dragon has in the past assessed the mining potential of the property by performing diamond drilling to evaluate the dip of the vein; the drilling of pilot holes and thermal fragmentation was also conducted during the evaluation process.
