Romios Commences Exploration on Its Newmont Lake
Property and Acquires 100% Interest in the Royce/Porc &
JW Properties
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 20, 2018) -
Romios Gold Resources Inc.
(TSXV: RG) (OTC
Pink: RMIOF) (FSE:
D4R)
("
Romios
" or the "
Company
")
is pleased to announce that Romios' exploration team has recently mobilized to the
Newmont Lake property to assess the geophysical targets described in the July 10, 2018 news release as well as conducting
detailed mapping of the Northwest Zone extension, the extensive mineralization discovered in recent years at Burgundy Ridge,
and a number of other targets. If results are encouraging diamond drilling may be undertaken in August-September.
Romios
has now acquired a 100% interest in the Royce Claim and the Porc Claim (the "
Royce/Porc Property
") and the JW
Property in the Golden Triangle, previously subject to the terms of two separate option agreements (the "
Prior O
ption
Agreements
") between the Company and the Galore Creek Staking Syndicate 2003 (the "
Vendor
") in consideration for the
termination of the Prior Option Agreements and the issuance of 500,000 common shares of the Company to the Vendor and the
granting of a 1% net smelter returns royalty ("
NSR
") in favour of the Vendor in respect of each of the claims. The Company has
the right to buy a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty, in respect of each of the claims, for the payment of $500,000 and has a right of
first refusal on the remaining 0.5% NSR. The securities issued are subject to a hold period expiring on November 14, 2018.
The Royce/Porc Property is located within the Galore Creek Project and consists of two land tenures covering approximately
1321 ha in the Liard Mining Division. The JW Property is also located within the Galore Creek Project and consists of one land
tenure covering approximately 614 ha. Romios has been exploring Royce/Porc and JW Properties under option since 2006.
JW Property
On the JW Property, Romios'
Hole JW07-06 intersected a 2.4m (7.87 feet) interval (from 279.8m to 282.2m in the hole)
that contained a weighted average of 31.87 g/t (1.02 oz/t) gold.
This consisted of two samples, one from
279.8m to
281.8m (2.0m) that assayed 28.90 g/t (0.93 oz/t) gold
and the other from
281.8m to 282.2m (0.4m) that assayed 46.70 g/t
(1.50 oz/t) gold.
The high-grade gold intersection correlates to a series of carbonate veinlets and a narrow quartz carbonate vein in the drill core
with a sulphide content, consisting essentially of pyrite, varying from 2% to 4%. The orientation of the contacts of the quartz
carbonate veins and veinlets suggest the zone has a steep dip. The drill hole intersection is 170m vertically below the surface
exposure of the Boundary Zone Vein which was discovered in 1988 where a grab sample from this zone is reported to have
assayed
42.87 g/t (1.38 oz/t) gold and 0.24% copper
and a 3.4m chip sample across the zone in the vicinity of the grab
sample assayed
11.27 g/t (0.36 oz/t) gold and 0.11% copper.
This is suggestive of a steeply dipping, gold-bearing, quartz
carbonate vein system which is reflected on surface as a siliceous shear zone. Although the surface exposures of the vein
contained copper, which is present in the drill hole intersection in minor quantities, it is likely that they represent a single gold-rich
quartz-carbonate vein system with a vertical extent of at least 170 metres.
The veins on JW Property appear to be peripheral quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins in a geological setting similar to those of the
Snip Deposit, located approximately 60 kilometres to the south of Romios' Galore Creek Project. From 1991 to 1999, the Snip
Mine produced 1,031,800 ounces of gold, 392,700 ounces of silver and 549,000 pounds of copper from only 1.2 million tonnes
of ore. (see News Release September 20, 2007).
Royce-Porc
A DIGHEM Airborne Survey, flown by Romios, identified an area of resistivity low (< 1000 ohm-m) measuring 500 m x 1300 m.
The area is interpreted as an alteration pipe, which is associated with previously identified mineralization located nearby. The
Jeffe Zone, with samples grading 13.1 g/t gold over one metre of trenching, lies on the eastern margin of the anomaly. A grab
float sample from the Royce Zone, which is located within the anomalous area, graded 769 g/t gold. (see Romios' News
Release June 16, 2008).
