DESCRIPTION Appendix I Ikutawara Prospecting License Application Coordinates 4 1.0 SUMMARY At the request of Sky Ridge Resources Ltd (“SRRL”), Campbell & Associates (“CA”) was commissioned to prepare a National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI43-101”) technical report on SRRL’s Ikutawara Gold Project (the “Ikutawara Project” or the “Property”) in Japan. CA has based this report on information provided by SRRL, third-party technical reports and other general website information, and a site visit. Property Location The Ikutawara Project comprises 38 contiguous Prospecting License application blocks (totaling 13,286 Ha) over historical gold-silver mineral occurrences. These are located in the Okhotsk district or Subprefecture in the Hokkaido regional administrative area or Prefecture (Province), Japan. Ownership In December 2014 Southern Arc Minerals Japan KK (“SAMJ”), a Japanese domiciled foreign investment corporation 100% owned by TSX-V (TSX Venture Exchange) listed Southern Arc Minerals Inc. (“SAMI”), applied for 38 prospecting licenses in the Ikutawara area of Northeastern Japan covering a region of known gold occurrences with a history of mining. On July 4, 2016, SRRL entered into an agreement with SAMI pursuant to which SRRL will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of SAMJ. In exchange for its ownership in SAMJ, Southern Arc will receive 50,000,000 pre- Consolidation common shares of SRRL. SRLL intends to complete a concurrent private placement financing, followed by a one-for-two basis share consolidation, with SAMI then holding approximately 49% of SRLL on a fully diluted basis. The transaction, which is a reverse takeover for Sky Ridge as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, is subject to a number of conditions, including shareholder and stock exchange approval. Tenure The 38 Prospecting License applications were submitted to the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (“METI”) by SAMJ on December 4, 2014 and passed an advanced stage of examination and acceptance by METI on August 18, 2015. With this approval SAMJ has the ground reserved and is able to undertake low impact ground work such as geologic mapping and sampling in order to rank and prioritize its application areas. For more invasive exploration such as trenching and drilling, SAMJ must pass through a stakeholder consultation and review process, with METI in an intermediary role. Once approved this will lead to the issuing of Prospecting Rights which are valid for two (2) years and can be extended for two further two-year periods. Prospecting Rights can be converted into mining rights at any time should exploration results warrant advancing the Property to production. Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography The Property is situated primarily over government or privately managed forestry concessions and lesser privately owned dairy farms. Coniferous forestry concessions are located on moderate to step hill ranges, ranging in elevations from 190 m to 707.8 m, whilst dairy farms occupy lower river valley areas. The Property is easily accessed by good quality sealed roads from the regional cities of Abashiri and Monbetsu, about 1.0 hour’s vehicle drive. Alternatively, the area can be reached by railway with the Sekihoku trunk line running along the south and west edges of the Property. Within the Property, access is by sealed roads which terminate into a network of gravel and dirt forestry access roads. 1 Located in a

Since Paleogene, this region has experienced= the dextral oblique transpression between the Eurasia and North American (Okhotsk) Plates and the subsequent collision between the Northeast Japan Arc and the Kuril Arc due to the oblique subduction of the Pacifc Plate. This earthquake occurred beneath the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the Hidaka Collision zone developed by the collision process, and is characterized by its deep focal depth (~ 37 km) and complicated rupture process. The reanalyses of controlled source seismic data collected in the 1998–2000 Hokkaido Transect Project revealed the detailed structure beneath the fold-and-thrust belt, and its relationship with the aftershock activity of this earthquake. Our refection processing using the CRS/MDRS stacking method imaged for the frst time the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures of the Northeast Japan Arc underthrust beneath a thick (~ 5–10 km) sedimentary package of the fold-and-thrust belt. Based on the analysis of the refraction/wide- angle refection data, the total thickness of this Northeast Japan Arc crust is only 16–22 km.

  • Repeated Occurrence of Surface-Sediment Remobilization
    Ikehara et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2020) 72:114 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-020-01241-y FULL PAPER Open Access Repeated occurrence of surface-sediment remobilization along the landward slope of the Japan Trench by great earthquakes Ken Ikehara1* , Kazuko Usami1,2 and Toshiya Kanamatsu3 Abstract Deep-sea turbidites have been utilized to understand the history of past large earthquakes. Surface-sediment remo- bilization is considered to be a mechanism for the initiation of earthquake-induced turbidity currents, based on the studies on the event deposits formed by recent great earthquakes, such as the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake, although submarine slope failure has been considered to be a major contributor. However, it is still unclear that the surface-sed- iment remobilization has actually occurred in past great earthquakes. We examined a sediment core recovered from the mid-slope terrace (MST) along the Japan Trench to fnd evidence of past earthquake-induced surface-sediment remobilization. Coupled radiocarbon dates for turbidite and hemipelagic muds in the core show small age diferences (less than a few 100 years) and suggest that initiation of turbidity currents caused by the earthquake-induced surface- sediment remobilization has occurred repeatedly during the last 2300 years. On the other hand, two turbidites among the examined 11 turbidites show relatively large age diferences (~ 5000 years) that indicate the occurrence of large sea-foor disturbances such as submarine slope failures. The sedimentological (i.e., of diatomaceous nature and high sedimentation rates) and tectonic (i.e., continuous subsidence and isolated small basins) settings of the MST sedimentary basins provide favorable conditions for the repeated initiation of turbidity currents and for deposition and preservation of fne-grained turbidites.

  • 27. Sedimentary Facies Evolution of the Nankai Forearc and Its Implications for the Growth of the Shimanto Accretionary Prism1
    Hill, I.A., Taira, A., Firth, J.V., et al., 1993 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 131 27. SEDIMENTARY FACIES EVOLUTION OF THE NANKAI FOREARC AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GROWTH OF THE SHIMANTO ACCRETIONARY PRISM1 Asahiko Taira2 and Juichiro Ashi2 ABSTRACT A combination of Deep Sea Drilling Project-Ocean Drilling Program drilling results and site survey data in the Shikoku Basin, Nankai Trough, and Nankai landward slope region provides a unique opportunity to investigate the sedimentary facies evolution in the clastic-dominated accretionary forearc. Here, we consider the facies evolution model based on the drilling results, IZANAGI sidescan images, and seismic reflection profiles. The sedimentary facies model of the Nankai forearc proposed in this paper is composed of two parts: the ocean floor-trench- lower slope sedimentary facies evolution and the upper slope to forearc basin sedimentary facies evolution. The former begins with basal pelagic and hemipelagic mudstones overlain by a coarsening upward sequence of trench turbidites which are, in turn, covered by slope apron slumps and lower slope hemipelagic mudstone. This assemblage is progressively faulted and folded into a consolidated accretionary prism that is then fractured and faulted in the upper slope region. Massive failure of the seafloor in the upper slope region produces olistostrome deposits that contain lithified blocks derived from older accretionary prism dispersed in a mud matrix. The contact between the older accretionary prism and the upper slope olistostrome is a submarine unconformity that is the first stratigraphic evidence for the exhumation of an older prism to the seafloor. The olistostrome beds are then overlain by forearc basin-plain mudstone and turbidites which are progressively covered by coarsening-upward delta-shelf sequences.

  • (EEL2019) Field Excursion Guide Convergent Plate Boundary
    EPS-ELSI Winter School “Evolution of Earth & Life” (EEL2019) Field Excursion Guide Convergent Plate Boundary & Geology of Island Arc in Tanzawa area, Japan Excursion Leader: Yuichiro Ueno Guidebook Editor: Tomohiko Sato, Shigenori Maruyama Dec. 2nd – Dec. 3rd, 2019 1 1. Introduction Japan is a unique place to study plate tectonics because the island located at the convergent plate boundary. In order to understand the collisional orogeny and crustal evolution, we plan to visit Tanzawa Mountain in the Izu-Hakone region, where we can observe how the Philippine Sea Plate subducted below the island arc in the field. Through the geology of the convergent plate boundary, we are able to consider how the continental crust evolve through the history of the Earth. 2. Geology of Japan Four plates meet around Japan island arc along the subduction zone The subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Philippine Sea Plate creates a Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc, where many volcanic islands are distributed. The Philippine Sea Plate is now moving 3 ~ 5 cm/year to the north and is subducted under Eurasian and North American Plates, which create a main Japan island (Honshu Arc). The famous Mt. Fuji is located near the triple junction of the three plates, where the oceanic islands collided with the Honshu Arc at Izu-Hakone region (Red box in Fig.2). Also, the back arc basins (Japan Sea and Okinawa Trough) are spreading since about 20 million years ago. Fig. 1. Plate boundaries around Japan.

  • New View of the Stratigraphy of the Tetori Group in Central Japan
    Memoir of the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum 14: 25–61 (2015) REVIEW © by the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum NEW VIEW OF THE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE TETORI GROUP IN CENTRAL JAPAN Shin-ichi SANO Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum Terao, Muroko, Katsuyama, Fukui 911-8601, Japan ABSTRACT The stratigraphy of the Tetori Group (sensu lato) and other Early Cretaceous strata in the Hakusan Region in the Hida Belt, northern Central Japan, is reviewed based on recent advances in ammonoid biostratigraphy, U-Pb age determination of zircons using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry with laser ablation sampling (LA-ICPMS), recognition of marine influence, and climatic change inferred from the occurrences of thermophilic plants and pedogenetic calcareous nodules. Four depositional stages (DS) are recognized: DS1 (Late Bathonian–Middle Oxfordian)̶mainly marine strata characterized by the occurrences of ammonoids; DS2 (Berriasian–Late Hauterivian)̶mainly brackish strata characterized by the occurrences of Myrene (Mesocorbicula) tetoriensis and Tetoria yokoyamai; DS3 (Barremian– Aptian)̶fluvial strata characterized by the occurrence of abundant quartzose gravels and freshwater molluscs, such as Trigonioides, Plicatounio and Nippononaia; DS4 (Albian–Cenomanian)̶volcanic/plutonic rocks which unconformably covered or intruded into the Tetori Group. I here propose new interpretation that 1) the Tetori Group (s.l.) in the Hakusan Region in the Hida Belt is divided into Middle–Late Jurassic Kuzuryu Group (corresponding to DS1) and unconformably overlying Early Cretaceous Tetori Group (sensu stricto) (corresponding to DS2–3); and 2) the Tetori Group (s.l.) in other areas is separated from the Tetori Group (s.s.), and divided into the Late Jurassic strata of the Kuzuryu Group (corresponding to the upper part of the same group in the Hakusan Region) and the Early Cretaceous Jinzu Group in the Jinzu Region in the Hida Belt, and the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous Managawa Group in the Hida Gaien Belt.

  • The Exploration Potential of Japan
    16 Received January 17, 2018 Review Accepted for Publication January 24, 2018 ©2018 Soc. Mater. Eng. Resour. Japan The Exploration Potential of Japan Antonio ARRIBAS ＊International Center for Research and Education on Mineral and Energy Resources (ICREMER) Graduate School of International Resource Sciences, Akita University, Akita 010-8502, Japan E-mail : [email protected] This report presents a review and analysis of the relevant geological, metallogenic, metal production and mineral exploration history of northern Tōhoku to discuss the exploration potential of the region and Japan. The interpretation is based mainly on empirical and practical arguments, in contrast to the also important petrogenetic and tectonic criteria. The case is made that for the discussion of the mineralization potential of Japan, northern To－hoku serves as a valid proxy. One conclusion is that ignifi cant exploration on land in Japan for base- and precious-metal deposits, in particular for porphyry copper type systems, stopped too early, before it could have benefi tted from key metallogenic developments of the past 25+ years. The full mineralization potential of Japan is excellent and far from being fully realized. Key Words : Japan, To－hoku, exploration, hydrothermal ore deposits, gold, copper, silver, zinc sedimentary rocks accompanied by subsidiary limestones, cherts, 1 INTRODUCTION and basalts. Together with the older rocks of the southern Kitakami Japan is a land rich in mineral deposits, with a long mining history [1]. Access to the mineral riches of Zipangu, as Japan was known in Europe from Marco Polo’ s accounts, was one of the drivers behind Columbus’ expedition from Spain to the West and discovery of a new, mineral-rich landmass (the Americas).

  • The Plate-Tectonics Interpretations of the Japanese Paired Metamorphic
    地 学 雑 誌 84, 4 (1974) The Plate-Tectonics Interpretations of the Japanese Paired Metamorphic Belts•\An Armchair Appraisal Chao-Siang WANG* ABSTRACT The Japanese Akiyoshi and Sakawa paired metamorphic belts recognized and documented by MIYASHIRO appear most likely apparent pairs consisting of high pressure belts survived from Palaeozoic origin and low pressure belts created due to Mesozoic convergence. In general, the age of regional metamorphism is younger than that of the original sedimentaries and igneous rocks. And in plate tectonics considerations, both members of the metamorphic pair are coeval but their age of formation can't be younger than that of their non-metamorphic equivalent sedimenta- ries which were formed as an arc-trench-gap or a convergence-relaxation/cessation deposit derived from the same continent. Among the six Japanese stratigraphic- structural zones (Table 1) originated from the Chichibu geosyncline , the non-meta- morphic Yamaguchi in the Sangun-Hida pair and Chichibu in the Sambagawa-Ryoke combination are considered as such ;the Sangun and Sambagawa high pressure belts are therefore regarded as being formedin the trench-subduction zones not younger than Permo-Carboniferous. Such an original age of origin for the paired metamor- phic belts is also supported from the stratigraphic evidence as well as fromthe radiometric dates. The apparent Mesozoic ages are believed to be resulted from overprinting by thermal events due to Akiyoshi-Sakawa plate convergence with concurrent uplifting and subsidence. Mainly through the works of KOBAYASHI (1941) and others (KIMURA et al., 1971 TAKAI et al., 1963 ; MATSUMOTO, 1967), the Japanese Islands are known to have developed out of the Palaeozoic-Early Mesozoic Chichibu geosyncline, the Mesozoic-Early Tertiary Shimanto (and Nakamura) geosyncline, and the Neogene geosyncline successively accreted along the Pacific margin.

Systematic dating of around 400 granitoids in the Japanese Islands have been made on the basis of total UO2, ThO2 and PbO contents of uraninite and anhydrous thorite using an electron microprobe analyzer (EPMA) at the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo. The ages range from ca. 5 Ma to 300 Ma. From the granitoid ages, the Japanese Islands were divided into many terranes. In northern Japan, granitoids with ages of approximately 110–120 Ma occur in the Kitakami Mountains, southwest Hokkaido and eastern Abukuma Mountains, and granitoids with ages of approximately 100–110 Ma occur at the western Abukuma Mountains and its northern extension. The granitoids that are around 90–100 Ma old occur sporadically in the Japanese Islands: mainly in the Asahi Mountains, the Nikko area, northern Shikoku and northern Kyushu. In central and northern Japan, the younger Cretaceous granitoids, partly Paleogene, with an age of around 65 Ma occur along the western part of the Asahi Mountains and Tsukuba–Nikkou area.
