A RICH
HISTORY OF
GOLD
MINING
☐
■ 500 years of gold mining across the three main islands of Japan
■ The government imposed the closure of gold mines during World War II to redeploy the
labour force into other sectors with limited production post-World War II
■ Prior to World War II, the five largest mines produced over 1M ounces of gold with the
largest producing over 2.5M ounces
■ In 1981, the Hishikari Mine was discovered and is a 13M-ounce gold deposit that is one
of the highest-grade Tier 1 gold mines in the world; having produced approximately
8.3M ounces with an average grade exceeding 30 g/t to date
Currently, the Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd.'s Hishikari Mine is the only operating
gold mine in Japan
■ These historic mining areas are underexplored using modern mining methods
