Romios Begins Field Work on High-Priority
Target Structures at the North Caribou Gold
Project near Newmont's Musselwhite Gold
Mine, NW Ontario
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2021) -
Romios Gold Resources Inc.
(TSXV: RG) (OTC
Pink: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R)
("Romios Gold" or the "Company")
is pleased to report that it has begun
its first exploration field program on the Company's North Caribou claims in northwestern Ontario,
Canada (Map 1).
Located just 8 km from the all-weather road into the nearby community of Round Lake, these claims are
dominated by the NE-trending, regional North Caribou River Fault (NCRF), and a parallel fault 800 m to
the south. The NCRF contains a series of small but high grade, historic gold +/- copper showings on
Romios' claims, e.g.
Power Exploration's sampling of "Trench M" returned assays of
9.9 to 55.7 g/t Au
from a 23 cm wide
, sulphide-rich vein, part of a broad series of en echelon veins, as well as locally
impressive alteration, e.g., 23 m of intensely silicified, brecciated host rocks infilled with quartz and
sulphides with gold grades up to 2.3 g/t Au/3.2 m and 6.35 g/t Au/0.4 m. Romios' contracted airborne
VLF and magnetic survey completed by Terraquest Ltd. over the North Caribou claims in the fall of 2020
clearly outlined a well-developed series of at least 6, and possibly 9, curvilinear E-W trending features,
believed to be splay faults, that link the two main regional faults and have not been explored in the past.
Given the widespread nature of the mineralization and alteration along the main North Caribou River
fault, these apparent splay faults represent ideal settings for the deposition of higher-grade and stronger
mineralization due to their extensional nature. In many gold camps (e.g., Kirkland Lake, Kalgoorlie, Val
d'Or), the main fault zones are often too "tight" to host ore zones and it is only the subordinate splay faults
or linking structures between the main breaks that create enough open space to host ore zones.
Romios' field crew is conducting a thorough program of soil sampling, prospecting and mapping over
the apparent splay faults as well as assessing the nature of the showings on the main NCRF fault. If
significant gold anomalies are detected over these features, consideration will be given to drill testing
these targets in late summer.
Diamond drilling of the outstanding gold and VMS targets on Romios'
Lundmark-Akow Lake
project
,
53 km to the SE of the North Caribou River claims, is now scheduled for early August (see Romios' news
releases December 5, 2019 and March 4, 2021).
An initial mapping and sampling program on Romios'
Arseno Lake
banded iron formation hosted base metal-gold-silver prospect is also planned for August
(see Romios' news release April 27, 2020).
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by John Biczok, P.
Geo., VP-Exploration for Romios Gold and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
In addition to his extensive experience with several major mining companies exploring for a wide variety
of ore deposit types across Canada and India, Mr. Biczok spent 12 years conducting exploration and
research at the Musselwhite mine.
