Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 13, 2017) -
Romios Gold Resources Inc.
(TSXV: RG)
(OTC Pink: RMIOF)
(FSE
:
D4R)
("
Romios
" or the "
Company
")
is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. John Biczok, P.Geo., as Vice-
President, Exploration effective December 13, 2017, subject to the approval of the TSXV. Mr. Biczok is an exploration geologist
with 38 years of experience in a wide range of ore deposit types including many that are relevant to Romios' various mineral
properties such as copper-gold skarns, massive sulphides, shear-hosted gold, iron formation-hosted gold and various
exhalative type deposits (Pb-Zn, barite). Mr. Biczok began work with Romios in August 2016 as a consultant in charge of the
Lundmark-Akow Lake drill program in northwestern Ontario and his interpretation of the geology in those drill holes led to a new
genetic model for the copper-gold mineralization and the subsequent 2017 discovery of the first base metal massive sulphide
deposit in the area.
Before starting work with Romios, he worked at Goldcorp's Musselwhite gold mine (18 km south of the Lundmark-Akow Lake
property) for 12 years, most recently as senior exploration geologist and senior research geologist. Prior to this, he headed up
Phelps Dodge Exploration's copper, gold and lead-zinc exploration efforts in India from 1999-2002 and worked for a number of
mining companies in western Canada including Mattagami Lake Exploration, Noranda Exploration, and Manitoba Mineral
Resources managing exploration programs for base metals, gold and nickel. This work included a number of projects with
similarities to Romios' extensive holdings and numerous prospects in the Golden Triangle area of British Columbia, including a
copper-gold skarn in Yukon and granite-hosted base metal mineralization in northern BC. Among his achievements with these
companies was the discovery of a new ore zone at Musselwhite, initiation of the work that led to the discovery of the past-
producing Brewery Creek gold deposit in Yukon and leading the team that discovered the Monument Bay gold deposit in
northern Manitoba. Mr. Biczok is a graduate of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay (Honours B.Sc. in Geology) and a registered
Professional Geoscientist in Ontario. He is also a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Mr. Biczok has been granted 500,000 share purchase options exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of five years.
Mr. Biczok succeeds Thomas Skimming, who has been a Director of Romios as well as the Vice-President, Exploration for over
twenty years, successfully building up the highly prospective land claims in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. The Board of
Directors thanks Mr. Skimming for his years of service as the Vice-President, Exploration and is very grateful that Mr. Skimming
has agreed to continue as a Director of the Company.
