Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 6, 2019) - Japan Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: JG) (OTCQB: JGLDF) is pleased to announce that due to increased interest, the Company has increased the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement from C$5,000,000 to up to C$6,500,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Company now plans to issue up to 24,074,074 units ("Units") at a price of $0.27 per Unit.

The Warrants will contain a forced exercise provision if the closing price of the Common Shares is equal to or greater than C$0.84 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days. Proceeds of the Private Placement will be used primarily for the Company's exploration activities and for general working capital purposes. The closing of the Private Placement is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and to a hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws.
