Romios Announces Field Work and Lakehead
University M.Sc. Research Project on the
Kinkaid High grade Cu-Au-Ag Project, Nevada
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 13, 2025) -
Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG)
(OTCQB: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R)
("Romios Gold" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that is
has started its 2025 field work on its 100% owned Kinkaid high grade Cu-Au-Ag project in the Walker
Lane of southern Nevada.
"We've had early success as our team uncovered two previously unknown broad zones of epithermal-
style alteration about 20 metres wide near known high-grade Au +/- Ag mineralization," stated Stephen
Burega, President and CEO. "In addition, minerals characteristic of porphyry-type alteration have now
been mapped around one of the major Au-Ag-Cu vein deposits (the Montreal Au-Ag Mine), and
porphyry-type alteration has been located in widespread boulders near a series of high-grade copper-
rich boulders on the KIN claims."
At least 12 clusters of old mine workings on the main Kinkaid claim block (see Map 1) have returned
numerous high-grade gold, silver and copper assays over the past 2-3 years of Romios' work.
"The historic workings on the southern claims exploited quartz +/- barite veins flanked by often intense
sericite alteration and those on the northern claims were developed on skarn deposits," stated John
Biczok, VP Exploration. "This geological setting suggests that the veins and skarns are part of the upper
portions of several possible porphyry Cu-Au-Ag centres."
Masters of Science (M.Sc) Research Project with Lakehead University
Under the terms of an existing, fully funded research agreement with Lakehead University in Thunder
Bay, Ontario, an M.Sc. student under the guidance of porphyry copper expert Dr. Pete Hollings has now
begun mapping and sample collection on the Kinkaid claims in an effort to help determine the origin,
extent, controls and potential of this mineralization. The work will include age-dating various lithologies of
interest, fluid inclusion studies of the vein deposits, plus hyperspectral, geochemical and mineralogical
analysis of the alteration patterns around the mineralized zones.
Alteration minerals such as actinolite, epidote and biotite, which are typically developed concentrically
around porphyry copper deposits, are being documented near some of the main workings and will be
studied to help assess the premise that these Cu-Au-Ag vein deposits are related to porphyry systems
at depth.
Dr. Pete Hollings has authored or co-authored more than 175 publications, primarily on mineral deposits
and greenstone belt geology, in collaboration with researchers from many countries including Australia,
Canada, China, and the Philippines. He is currently the NOHFC Industrial Research Chair in Mineral
Exploration and has recently been onsite at Kinkaid providing guidance to the M.Sc. student and sharing
his expertise with Romios personnel.
ONGOING EXPLORATION:
In conjunction with the M.Sc. research, Romios personnel have resumed
geological mapping and sampling of the extensive old mine workings and showings on the main
KINKAID claim block as well as exploring the potential source area of high-grade copper boulders found
on the adjacent KIN claims in 2023. Numerous epidote+/-garnet altered boulders typical of
porphyry/skarn systems have now been located across a broad area on the KIN claims and work is
ongoing to locate the source of the nearby mineralized boulders. Nine samples of these boulders
sampled in 2023 returned assays of
0.73% to 13.3% Cu, and averaged 5.03% Cu

"
Work around the >500 metre long series of innumerable Montreal Au-Ag Mine workings has now
outlined strong hydrothermal alteration (sericite +/- epidote, actinolite, rare magnetite, etc.) across a
width of 200 metres," Biczok continued. "Mapping of one of the northernmost underground workings
revealed an excellent example of a mineralized vein up to 1 m wide with locally abundant chalcopyrite
and secondary copper minerals (see Photo #1). Gold is typically proportional to the copper content in
this deposit so we are optimistic that the pending Cu-Au assays from this site will also be encouraging."

EPITHERMAL POTENTIAL
: In addition to this renewed work on the high-grade vein and skarn
prospects, the 2025 work has targeted several broad zones of potential low-grade epithermal style gold
mineralization. During a brief visit in 2024 Romios' geologists collected a sample of "low temperature
silica" near the PM skarn on the northern claims and this sample assayed
0.79 g/t Au
and a chip sample
of two narrow quartz veins nearby assayed
10.6 g/t Au.
An examination of this area in 2025 revealed
similar looking silica boulders and veins up to 50 cm wide across a 20 metre wide zone (See Photo 2);
the 2025 assays from this site are pending. A small mine dump nearby consists of iron carbonate -
quartz vein material that assayed
1,725 g/t Ag
with high mercury, antimony, zinc and lead, providing
further evidence of an epithermal mineralizing event overprinting the skarns in this area (
see Romios
Press Release March 10, 2022
).

Similarly, broad zones of potential epithermal-style alteration adjacent to vein prospects with high gold,
silver, copper and barite contents have been sampled for the first time at a number of other sites; assays
are pending.
Once the assay results have been received from the current work program an appropriate follow-up
program will be planned and executed.

Claim Details and Location
The Kinkaid property is wholly owned by Romios and now consists of 139 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. The claims
begin 1.4 km north of Highway 95 between Reno and Las Vegas and are largely accessible by road and
short hikes. A significant power line crosses the SW corner of the claims.
QA/QC
Rock samples reported herein were a mix of chip and grab samples considered generally
representative of the various mine dumps, veins and outcrops being sampled. Samples collected in
2021-2023 were submitted to the ISO/IEC 17025 accredited ALS lab in Reno Nevada for analysis.
Samples collected in 2024 and 2025 were submitted to the Standards Council of Canada ISO/IEC
17025:2017 accredited Bureau Veritas laboratory in Reno, Nevada for analysis. 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 inserted at every 10th position in the sample series.
The assay results of these standards and blanks have been within the acceptable ranges.
