About Mizobe Project
The Mizobe Project lies within the Hokusatsu Region of southern Kyushu, along the western edge of the Kagoshima Graben in a similar geological setting as the Hishikari Mine, located 23 km to the north. Hishikari is one of the highest-grade Tier 1 gold mines in the world. The Hishikari Mine produced approximately 9 million ounces of gold (8.6 Moz Au past production 1985-2024, 4.98 Moz Au reserves) at +20 g/t Au and is Japan’s only gold mine that is still operating today (Source: Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., LTD.
