VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Relevant
Gold Corp. (TSX-V:RGC)(OTCQB:RGCCF) ("Relevant Gold" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce the safe and successful completion of its 2025 diamond drill program at the
Apex Target, located within the Company's 100% owned Bradley Peak Gold Camp in the
Seminoe Mountains of central Wyoming. The drill campaign was the first ever on the
property and was designed as a localized test of the Apex target's structural and
geochemical characteristics and to enable vectoring toward high-grade zones along the
entire mineralized corridor in 2026. The 2025 Apex drilling program consisted of 12 oriented
diamond drill holes totaling 5,102 metres (m), spaced along 600 m of strike and 400 m
vertical depth (figure 1). Assays are pending and will be reported when complete for all 12
holes.
Initial visual observations of drill core confirm that the targeted orogenic shear-vein system
was intersected where the Company's 3D structural and geophysical models predicted.
The Apex shear is emerging as a composite 70-150 m wide zone encompassing multiple
sub-shears, many of which are intruded by lamprophyre and intermediate dikes. Pervasive
hydrothermal alteration, laced by quartz veins and sulphides extends along the shears to
vertical depths of 400 m within the 600 m drilled length of its 2.5 km surface trace.
"These first-ever drill holes cut a highly altered shear zone with scale right where we
predicted and confirm that we're seeing all the hallmarks of a productive Abitibi-style
orogenic gold system. This is strong validation of our geological model, " said Relevant Gold
CEO Rob Bergmann. "We are eagerly awaiting assay results to guide a much more intensive
drilling campaign next season - including testing the new shears our team recognized
running parallel to Apex. "
Highlights:
• Program completed safely and on time.
• Drilling confirmed continuity of surface-mapped structures to depth.
• The APEX deformation zone is 70-150 m wide and manifests as hydrothermally
altered metabasalts and metagabbro.
• The Apex deformation zone consists of multiple sub-parallel shear zones, many of
which were intruded by quartz-feldspar porphyry and mafic dikes.
• Extensive hydrothermal alteration including quartz-sericite-pyrite, chlorite, fuchsite
and albitization surrounds the deformation zone.
• Multiple generations of veining and alteration are best developed within a ductile-
brittle deformation envelope lying along the hanging wall of the shear zone.
• All 12 drill holes intersected a distinctive, pervasively altered and sheared tremolite-
chlorite-quartz ± fuchsite schist at the hanging wall along the north side contact.
• More ultramafic and mafic units were seen in drill core than in surface mapping.
These include: komatiitic and tholeiitic basalts and peridotite.
• The entire area is cut by quartz-feldspar porphyry, granodiorite, tonalite, and late
lamprophyre dikes.
• Surface geologic mapping has identified a new 100 m wide shear zone (BPEX) with
strong quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration and quartz veining running parallel to APEX
(figure 1).
• Mapping also outlined a 50 m x 100 m sigmoidal shaped tonalite intrusive plug with
complex oxidized quartz veining between APEX and BPEX (figure 1).

About the Apex Target and Bradley Peak Gold Camp
The Bradley Peak Gold Camp (central Wyoming) comprises a >10,000-acre Archean
greenstone terrane hosting multiple subparallel shear zones with strong structural and
geochemical affinities to Abitibi-type orogenic systems. The principal Apex Target is a >2.5
km ENE-trending shear corridor localized along a >100 km2 regional fold hinge in the
Bradley Peak structural corridor. Wallrocks are dominantly ultramafic and mafic volcanic
and intrusive units all of which are cut by late felsic dikes. Surface mapping and sampling
delineate pervasive quartz-carbonate-sericite alteration with arsenopyrite-pyrite
mineralization and elevated Au-As-Cu-Bi-Sb signatures. Relevant Gold 2024 rock-chip
assays at Apex reach 46.8 g/t Au and 2.4% Cu (news release - Aug. 13, 2024). The
mineralization is associated with Fe-carbonate replacement, sulfidation of mafic host
rocks, and late crack-seal quartz veining, consistent with gold deposition near the brittle-
ductile transition in an Archean orogenic setting (Tardif et al., 2022).
