Romios Outlines a New >1 km Wide Porphyry-
Style Cu-Au-Ag System on Its Trek South
Property in the Golden Triangle, B.C.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 22, 2021) -
Romios Gold Resources Inc.
(TSXV: RG)
(OTCQB: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R)
("Romios Gold" or the "Company")
is pleased to report on the 2021
mapping program on the Trek South claims in the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.
The program has partially delineated a
>1 km wide zone of porphyry-style alteration and veinlet-
hosted Copper-Gold-Silver
(Cu-Au-Ag) mineralization. As a result, Trek South is now a high priority
target for geophysical surveys and diamond drilling in 2022 along with the Company's previously
identified Trek North copper-gold porphyry zone which returned impressive drill intercepts
including
131
m grading 0.6% Cu, 0.39 g/t Au and 8.5 g/t Ag
in past campaigns (
See Press Release - October 22,
2008
).
Highlights:
Mapping and sampling have now identified a >1 km wide zone of porphyry-style epidote alteration
with a coincident >800 metre wide zone of quartz-pyrite +/- chalcopyrite veinlets.
Veinlets returned assay values from trace up to
1.83% Cu, 2.3 g/t Au, and 257 g/t Ag
. They
range in width from 1 cm to 10 cm, and locally form dense stockworks (see Plates 1 and 2).
(Results are mainly from chip and grab samples of veinlets in outcrop, as well as boulders believed
to be locally derived).
Several metals often associated with the centre of porphyry copper deposits returned highly
anomalous values from veinlets in the apparent centre of the Trek South zone, including
Bismuth
(863 ppm) and Tellurium (198 ppm)
versus local background levels of <3 ppm Bi and <1 ppm
Te.
The Trek South target is 3 km SSW of Trek North and may lie along the same structural corridor as
reflected by the nearby Trek Fault and a series of intervening Cu-Au-Ag prospects (See Map 1).
Both the Trek North and Trek South sites are within 1.4 km of the partially cleared road route to
Teck and Newmont's enormous Galore Creek Cu-Au porphyry deposit(s) and just 13 km from the
proposed Galore Creek mill site (
www.gcmc.ca
).
Trek South is now a high priority target for work in 2022 and planning for deep penetrating
geophysical surveys and diamond drilling are now underway.
"The receding of the local glacier and melting of the snowfields has now revealed a very exciting
exploration target on Romios' Trek South claims. To find such a large area of well-developed porphyry-
style alteration, including pyrite-chalcopyrite bearing quartz veins and a peripheral zone of well-
developed skarn veins, is a rare opportunity at a site so close to developing infrastructure," stated John
Biczok, VP of Exploration.
"The Trek South discovery is just 3 km from Romios' Trek North Zone, one of the few known and partially
drill-defined porphyry Cu-Au-Ag zones in the area not held by the Teck-Newmont Galore Creek JV and
we look forward to advancing Trek South through geophysics and drilling in 2022," stated Stephen
Burega, President.

Background
Romios'
TREK South claim block
covers ~18 sq km of highly prospective ground known to contain at
least 8 historic and underexplored Cu-Au-Ag showings in addition to the recently discovered porphyry-
style alteration and mineralization. Following Romios' 2019 discovery of garnet-epidote-pyrite skarn
veins on the Trek South claims, the Company contracted HEG & Associates to undertake an alteration
mapping and hyperspectral survey of part of the target area in 2020 and this work confirmed the
presence of porphyry-type alteration minerals in two broad areas.
In 2021, Romios personnel undertook detailed mapping and sampling across part of the Trek South
claims that until recently had been covered by relatively thin glacial ice and snowfields, resulting in the
discovery of the porphyry-type mineralized and altered zone. In addition, the 2021 survey partially defined
previously unknown intrusions which may be related to the mineralizing event, as well as numerous
boulder trains of massive epidote alteration, +/- local copper mineralization (see Plate 3), apparently
derived from an area still hidden beneath the glacier.

QAQC:
The samples discussed in this document were grab and chip samples considered
representative of the veins and boulders being sampled. They were submitted to the ISO/IEC 17025
accredited ALS Canada Ltd. laboratories in Terrace and Vancouver, BC for assay and multi-element
analyses.
As a matter of procedure, a rigorous quality assurance and quality control program was
implemented to ensure reliable assay results by inserting alternating blanks and commercial assay
standards at approximately every 10
th
position in the sample series.
