Discovers High-Grade Copper Boulder-Train With Assays up to 13.3% Cu and Possible Porphyry Type Alteration Nearby
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 12, 2023) - Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG) (OTCQB: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) ("Romios Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has discovered a train of mineralized boulders with high-grade copper +/- gold values in an area adjacent to the Company's Kinkaid project in the Walker Lane trend of southern Nevada. Sixteen new claims have been staked to cover the probable source area of these boulders as well as six more claims over old workings at another site.
HIGHLIGHTS
Nine mineralized boulders were sampled along a 300-metre-long stretch of a dry stream bed. Copper values range from 0.73% to 13.3% Cu, and average 5.03% Cu .
One of the nine samples consists largely of magnetite, a common component of veins in many porphyry copper and skarn systems, and this sample assayed 12.7 g/t Au. The remaining eight samples assayed 0.08 to 2.49 g/t Au and average 0.94 g/t Au.
The mineralized samples were first located near several outcrops of locally pyritic basalt and numerous large boulders with strong epidote alteration very similar to that seen in many porphyry copper and/or skarn alteration zones .
The upstream limit of the mineralized boulders located to date is coincident with a >300 m wide sericite anomaly, visible on Short Wave Infrared satellite imagery, which may be reflective of alteration associated with the mineralized system.
Several of the samples also contain unusually high levels of vanadium (up to 685 ppm V) and uranium (up to 402 ppm U).
"This latest discovery of a very high-grade Cu-Au boulder train adjacent to apparent porphyry-type alteration is a major step forward for the Kinkaid project," stated John Biczok, VP, Exploration. "There is already one suspected buried porphyry system on the original Kinkaid claims as well as a group of skarn deposits thought to overlie another magmatic system (See Romios Press Releases June 16, 2023 & July 31, 2023). The combination of numerous copper-rich boulders and the nearby porphyry-style alteration suggests that we may have a significant target close to surface on these new claims."
A follow-up program of detailed mapping and sampling is planned for the fall months on both the new claims and the original Kinkaid claim block.
"This very exciting new discovery, along with so many other occurrences discovered by Romios on the Kinkaid property, illustrates how cost-effective exploration can be done on the Company's Nevada projects," stated Stephen Burega, CEO of Romios. He added, "our crews are able to reach underexplored areas by Jeep and on foot and come up with exciting new discoveries with real potential. We are looking forward to following up on this latest find in the next 2 months."

Background
The Kinkaid property now consists of 131 claims, covering approximately 11.0 sq km, located 18 km east of the town of Hawthorne where the prolific Walker Lane trend overlaps the southern edge of the mineral-rich Basin and Range geological province.
QA/QC
All samples were submitted to the ISO/IEC 17025 accredited ALS laboratory in Reno, Nevada for assay. As a matter of procedure, a rigorous quality assurance and quality control program was implemented in the form of blanks and Certified Reference Material standards at every 10th position in the sample series. The assay results of these standards and blanks were within the acceptable ranges.

發現高品位銅巨石列車,含銅量高達 13.3%,附近可能有斑岩類型改變
安大略省多倫多--(Newsfile Corp.,2023年10月12日)- Romios Gold Resources Inc.(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:RG)(OTCQB:RMIOF)(FSE:D4R)(“Romios Gold” 或 “公司”) 很高興地向大家報告,該公司在內華達州南部沃克巷走勢的Kinkaid項目附近的地區發現了一系列礦化巨石,其銅含量爲+/-金。已經提出了16項新的索賠,以涵蓋這些巨石可能的來源區域,另外6項索賠涉及另一個地點的舊工程。
亮點
沿着一條長達 300 米的幹流牀採樣了九塊礦化巨石。銅值範圍爲 0.73% 至 13.3% 的銅,平均爲 5.03% 。
九個樣品中有一個主要由磁鐵礦組成,磁鐵礦是許多斑岩銅和硅卡巖系統中礦脈的常見成分,對這個樣本進行了測定 12.7 g/t Au 其餘八個樣本經過化驗 0.08 至 2.49 g/t Au,平均爲 0.94 g/t Au。
礦化樣本最初位於幾個局部黃鐵質玄武岩露頭和許多大型巨石附近,這些巨石具有強烈的表皮巖蝕變,與許多斑岩銅和/或硅卡巖蝕變帶非常相似。
迄今爲止定位的礦化巨石的上游極限與寬度>300米的蠶雲母異常重合,該異常在短波紅外衛星圖像上可見,這可能反映了與礦化系統相關的變化。
其中一些樣品還含有異常高的釩含量(高達685 ppm V)和鈾(最高402 ppm U)。
勘探副總裁約翰·比佐克表示:“最新發現的銅金巨石列車毗鄰明顯的斑岩型蝕變,這是Kinkaid項目向前邁出的重要一步。”“在最初的金凱德主張中,已經有一個疑似埋藏的斑岩系統,還有一組據信覆蓋了另一個岩漿系統的硅卡巖沉積物(見2023年6月16日和2023年7月31日的Romios新聞稿)。許多富含銅的巨石和附近的斑岩式改造相結合,表明在這些新的主張中,我們可能有一個重要的目標即將浮出水面。”
計劃在秋季對新的索賠和最初的Kinkaid索賠區塊進行詳細測繪和抽樣的後續計劃。
Romios首席執行官Stephen Burega表示:“這一非常激動人心的新發現,以及Romios在Kinkaid物業上發現的許多其他事件,說明了該公司在內華達州的項目上可以進行具有成本效益的勘探。”他補充說:“我們的工作人員能夠乘坐吉普車和徒步到達未開發的地區,並發現具有真正潛力的激動人心的新發現。我們期待在接下來的兩個月內跟進這一最新發現。”
