Kumamoto's Five-month-long Hit Now Playing in Tokyo; 'Boneless Lantern' Features Historical Hot Spring Town
©KUMAMOTO YAMAGA EIGA project A still from the film 'Honenashi Toro' ('Boneless Lantern') The film 'Honenashi Toro' ('Boneless Lantern'), which recorded an exceptional five-month-long run at a small theater in Kumamoto last year, is now playing in Tokyo through June 22. Nadeshiko Koba directed the film and lives in Yamaga, Kumamoto Prefecture. She independently filmed it along with her husband Tamio, who is the movie's producer. The plot revolves around a man who has lost his wife. Unable to overcome his grief, he wanders around the city with the box that holds her cremated bones. He gradually recovers thanks to funny and mysterious meetings with people. Yamaga is a city full of hot springs that once thrived as a post station town along a major road in the Edo period (1603-1867). During that time, Daimyo feudal lords were required to stay in the then capital Edo every other year. Some of them often stayed at Yamaga while traveling to Edo. Various scenes of the film closely depict the city's culture and atmosphere. The most symbolic is the Yamaga lantern, a local traditional craft that the film takes its name from. The lantern is made using only traditional Japanese washi paper and glue. Its soft light in some ways symbolizes the man's recovery. A summer festival shown in the film in which young women dance with these golden lanterns on their heads leaves an impression, along with the cheerful greetings of children. ©KUMAMOTO YAMAGA EIGA project A still from the film 'Honenashi Toro' ('Boneless Lantern') Koba established her career as a screenwriter. She moved to Yamaga with Tamio in 2021. 'Boneless Lantern' is Koba's first feature as a director. She won awards at film festivals, such as Best First Time Filmmaker at the Toronto International Women Film Festival. The movie played in cities including Kumamoto, Kobe and Nagoya before coming to Tokyo. Filmgoers can see it at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum in Tokyo. It plays with Japanese or English subtitles once a day each day of the week, with Chinese or French subtitles added on some days. The museum will be closed on June 9 and 16.

Azincourt acquires options for full ownership of Harrier uranium project in Canada
Azincourt Energy has signed an assignment and amendment agreement with Koba Resources and its wholly owned subsidiary Uranidor Resources, along with Dean Fraser, to acquire a 100% interest in Koba's Harrier uranium project in the Central Mineral Belt in Labrador, Canada. The Harrier project spans 48,975ha and is situated next to Azincourt's Snegamook uranium project, bringing the total project area to 49,400ha. To acquire a 100% interest in the Harrier project, Azincourt will make a total cash payment of C$250,000 ($180,376) over four years, along with share issuances and exploration expenditures. Post-acquisition, the project will be subject to a 2% gross production royalty, with the option to buy back half by paying C$1m to the optionor. Additionally, the project is subject to a 0.5% gross production royalty, half of which can be bought back for a cash payment of C$250,000 to Koba. In addition to this, Azincourt has also entered into a property option agreement with Koba and Uranidor to obtain complete ownership of certain mineral claims located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the Harrier project. The staked option for the adjacent claims will require a cash payment of C$50,000 and issuance of common shares, with a 2% gross production royalty, which can be bought back for a cash payment of C$1m to Koba. Azincourt CEO Alex Klenman said: "We are very pleased to add Harrier to our project portfolio. It combines established uranium mineralisation with exceptional blue-sky developmental opportunities. "The markets have changed in the past few years, and there is perhaps less appetite for pure greenfield exploration than in the past. Uranium discovery isn't easy. This is a significant opportunity for Azincourt to dive directly into ground containing high-grade uranium. We are eager to begin systematic exploration there and to realise the value we feel is waiting to be unlocked.' With 12 zones of known uranium mineralisation, the Harrier project has seen rock samples assay more than 1% triuranium octoxide, with some high-grade results reaching up to 7.48%. The project has high-grade assay results from various prospects, with the Fish Hawk North Prospect, Brook Prospect and Moran Heights Prospect showing particularly high-grade samples. In March 2025, Azincourt received the necessary permits to commence exploration drilling at the Snegamook uranium project in the Central Mineral Belt.

Fairchild Gold Corp Announces Successful Completion of Transaction with Koba Resources Ltd.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2025) - Fairchild Gold Corp (TSXV: FAIR) ("Fairchild" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its previously announced transaction disclosed on February 11, 2025, with Koba Resources Ltd. ("Koba"), has successfully completed on March 12, 2025. Strategic Acquisition Completed Having secured all necessary approvals and with all conditions satisfied, the Company's transaction with Koba has been completed. Fairchild has begun the process of integrating the extensive database received through this acquisition, which includes thousands of rock and soil samples as well as geophysical surveys. "This is a significant acquisition for Fairchild," said Luis Martins, Chief Executive Officer of Fairchild Gold Corp. "The completion of this transaction represents an important milestone in our growth strategy and positions us as the dominant claim holder in the historic Goodsprings mining district. The acquired database which covers most of our enlarged and consolidated claim package will allow the company to collapse the timeframe it originally anticipated would be required prior to drilling." Expanded Land Position With the completion of this transaction, Fairchild's Copper Chief Project now covers a total of 300+ claims, spanning approximately 6150 acres in the Goodsprings mining district of Nevada. This substantial land package consolidates a significant portion of this historically productive region. See FIGURE#1: Map of Fairchild Gold's Koba Acquisition DATA PACKAGE Fairchild Gold received a substantial package of historical geological, geochemical, and geophysical data from Koba Resources that were summarized in an analyst's publicly disclosed report by Ian Spence of Peloton Capital Pty Ltd. dated June 7, 2022. These data were originally acquired from work conducted by Koba's predecessor company New World Resources, starting in 2019. This work was conducted by geologists and geophysicists who were qualified persons as defined by Instrument NI 43-101, and Fairchild Gold is confident that this historical work and these historical data and descriptive maps and interpretive summaries are of high quality and are an accurate representation of the work conducted by Koba and New World Resources. Historic Goodsprings Data Highlights: 1361 Rock samples and 2653 Soil samples Copper Assays: up to 25% Copper in multiple locations. Confirming Copperside Mine anomaly. (Sample PS0014) Top 25 sample average 13.7 % Gold Assays: Up to 151 g/t (sample 2645) Top 25 sample average 18.11 ppm Silver Assays: Up to 1565 g/t (sample 212) Top 25 sample average 651.2 ppm Cobalt Assays: Up to 5.9 % (sample PS0004) Lead Assays: Up to 40% (Sample RLGS-6) Zinc Assays: Up to 30% (Sample 9378) Antimony Assays: Up to 9104.4 g/t (Sample GS09RW-45) IP/Mag surveys: See Figure 2: ZONGE IP Survey (~2019) These data will be carefully analysed and, in some cases, reprocessed, giving a much more robust basis for preparation of the next exploration steps. Updates will be coming soon. Next Phases of Exploration Comprehensive review and integration of the newly acquired database Detailed geological mapping and innovative geophysical surveys to rank numerous high-priority targets already identified Targeted drill program "We are extremely excited about the potential of the Copper Chief Project and the broader Goodsprings district, The historical production in this area only scratched the surface. Modern exploration techniques, combined with our large, consolidated land position and comprehensive database, give us a unique opportunity to unlock substantial value for our shareholders." -Luis Martins (CEO). The Company believes the Goodsprings district has the potential to host a large-scale, district-wide mineral system with multiple deposit types, including: High-grade copper-lead-zinc carbonate replacement deposits Structurally controlled precious and PGE metal veins Potential for porphyry copper-gold-related mineralization Fairchild's strategic position in this historically productive yet underexplored district represents a compelling opportunity to make significant discoveries using modern exploration techniques.

Fairchild Gold Acquires 72 Claims From Koba Resources Adjacent to Its Copper Chief Property at Goodsprings, Nevada
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2025 / Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSXV:FAIR) ('Fairchild' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to purchase, subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, 72 unpatented lode mining claims within and adjacent to Fairchild's Copper Chief Property (Cu-Au-Ag-PGEs-Co) located 35 km southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada (Figure 1). These new claims add significant deposit potential for Porphyry copper-gold, Antimony, and Gold-silver-PGEs targets and deposits on the property. Figure 1: Fairchild/KOBA Acquisition (Outline of 72 lode mining claims purchased from Koba Resources) Fairchild has made an agreement to purchase 72 mining claims from Koba Resources Ltd. (Australia) and Covada LLC (US:Nevada), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koba. To consummate the purchase transaction, Fairchild will issue and deliver to Koba 3,000,000 FAIR shares of common stock at a deemed price of CDN$0.05 per share and grant to Koba a One Percent (1 %) Net Smelter Returns Royalty, of which 50% of this royalty may be repurchased by Fairchild at any time for a cash consideration of CDN$1,000,000. This agreement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. Assets Acquired: The Koba claims contain several excellent mineral exploration targets that are additive to Fairchild's existing claims, including the December Mine antimony-gold prospect, the Poppy Shaft gold system, and the Fitzhugh Lee, Rose, Mobile and Columbia Mine porphyry copper-gold targets. Koba did a substantial amount of geochemical sampling and IP Geophysics, and Fairchild will be receiving this Koba database. Figure 2: IP Geophysics performed by Koba (Click for Link) The Copper Chief Property is a good combination of a perfect geographic location, a 1-hour drive from Las Vegas, all the infrastructure in situ, with a geologically favorable environment; characterized by the existence of a set of multi-target, mainly Skarn-related mineralization, Carbonate Replacement Deposits with Porphyry-style potential, and multi-commodities like Cu-Au-Ag-PGEs. Other critical metals, like antimony can be found on the property with a 4500 g/ton sample found at the December Mine in 2021. With this acquisition Fairchild Gold can now follow up on these and other findings without concern. Copper Chief Targets: Fairchild is focused on the discovery of Porphyry Copper-gold systems (PCDs) and gold-silver-PGEs-antimony vein systems at Copper Chief. More than 15 old prospects and mines are located within the outline of the property. Several types and ages of mineral deposits are present. Fairchild's presently known targets are shown in Figure 3. The #1priority target is the Copper Chief Porphyry which has very high-grade copper mineralization present at the surface in multiple places, and in skarn that may indicate a shallower PCD system. Other ranked targets are: 2025 Targets: Sandy Veins Au-Ag-PGEs-Co Ironside Fault hosted Au-Ag-PGEs-Sb (December/Knickenbocker Mines) Copperside and Skarn/PCD Rose Mine PCD Columbia Mine PCD-Co Whale Cobalt Target Cu /Au Tailings *None of these targets have been previously drilled Figure 3: Fairchild Gold 2025 targets ( Click for Link) About the Copper Chief Property Situated in Nevada's renowned mineral belts, the Copper Chief Property stands out as a high-potential Cu-Au exploration project. With robust geochemical results and favorable geology, it presents a compelling case for continued exploration and investment. CEO's Statement: 'This agreement with Koba Resources Ltd allows Fairchild to expand the Copper Chief asset with a high mineral potential area, where appropriate exploration surveys were conducted and generated an important database, including geological, geochemical and geophysical information. Fairchild's team will assess and reprocess this data, with the objective of confirming the potential for copper and gold, but not neglecting other critical metals like PGEs, antimony and cobalt. The company will prioritize all the property targets, including the ones coming from this last acquisition, and refining the knowledge already acquired' -Luis Martins, CEO of Fairchild Gold Corp. QP Statement: Mr. Richard R. Redfern, M.S., C.P.G. No. 10717, is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 who has examined the Copper Chief property on the ground numerous times since 2003, and reviewed the geological information available from private and public sources related to the property and is responsible for approving the technical contents of this press release.
