Relevant Gold Defines Large-Scale Drilling Target at Bradley Peak, Sampling 46.8 g/t Au, 7.8% Cu and 2% Zn in Apex Zone
Relevant Gold Defines Large-Scale Drilling Target at Bradley
Peak, Sampling 46.8 g/t Au, 7.8% Cu and 2% Zn in Apex Zone
Relevant Gold Corp. (TSXV:RGC) (OTCQB:RGCCF) (the "Company" or "Relevant Gold")
announces final results from its 2024 geologic mapping and rock chip sampling program at its
100% owned Bradley Peak Gold Camp in central Wyoming. Results demonstrate widespread high-
grade gold and copper mineralization, which refine three previously identified, and reveal three
new, high-potential exploration targets (see below, Table 1). The best results came from the Apex
Zone, which is marked by high-grade gold and copper from multiple 2-6m+ vein exposures within a
>200m wide structural zone traceable for over 2.5 kilometers. Highlights include 46.8 g/t Au, 7.8%
Cu and 2% Zn (Figure 2). Multiple drilling targets have been identified along Apex, which are being
permitted for drilling next season.
"These stellar ounce-plus gold results from the Apex Zone indicate that a great opportunity is
unfolding at Bradley Peak. Apex lies right in the center of a 100 km2 Abitibi-style fold hinge revealed
by a detailed 2023 government-funded regional airborne geophysical survey flown over the 200 km
long Archean shear zone that cuts across central Wyoming, " said Relevant Gold CEO Rob
Bergmann. "This belt-scale shear is what drew us to the region in the first place because it cuts the
same kind of altered and well-mineralized greenstone rocks we see in very large Abitibi-style gold
systems. Our work shows that Apex is complemented by five additional high-potential shear zones -
three of which are new - giving us multiple targets for drilling and detailed field work next season" .
2024 Project Summary
Relevant Gold's 2024 program mobilized field crews in June and July to conduct a detailed geologic
mapping and rock sampling program at its 4,391-hectare (ha) (10,800 acre) Bradley Peak Gold
Camp, located in the Seminoe Mountains, Wyoming, USA. Project goals included defining drill
targets within the three previously identified Apex, Kortes, and Deserted Treasure zones (see News
Release dated 11/07/2023) complemented by systematic exploration across the property where
little to no data existed. Three new exploration target areas were discovered: Lost Mine, Olmeh, and
East Limb, all lying along previously unmapped shear zones hosting complex quartz/carbonate vein
arrays. Lost Mine is the best of these new targets with visible gold and copper carbonate
mineralization and historical workings not identified on previous maps (Figure 1). Olmeh and East
Limb look favorable but did not get as much attention as the other 4 targets. Detailed work included
mapping over 1,880 outcrops along over 50km of shear zones. The program included 557 rock chip
samples, of which approximately 7% are significant.

Exploration Prospect Prospect
Table 1. Comparison of the exploration targets identified by Relevant Gold at the Bradley Peak Gold
Camp. Highlighted grades include assays from all previous RGC sampling.
The Apex Target Zone
The Apex Zone encompasses a set of closely spaced, sub-parallel shear zones traceable for more
than 2.5 km through amphibolite facies metabasalt and metagabbro intruded by porphyries and
mafic dikes. The zone runs through the historic Apex Mine and Sunday Morning prospect workings,
which historically reported assays of up to 2.1 g/t Au (see News Release dated 11/07/2023). 2024
work found high-grade gold, copper, and zinc mineralization throughout the zone. The highest-grade
sample (46.8 g/t Au) was taken 500 m along strike and 200 m vertically below the historic mine
workings, from a 3 m wide mineralized quartz vein within a >10 m wide shear zone outcrop (Figure
3). Gold mineralization appears to have a positive correlation to bismuth and arsenic in the
reported rock geochemistry, which supports Abitibi-style orogenic mineralization.
Figure 2: Map illustrating high-grade gold and copper assays from the Company's sampling
programs at the >2.5km long Apex Target zone within the central Bradley Peak Gold Camp. Gold
values range from >0.015 g/t to the highest-grade assay of 46.8 g/t Au. Copper values range from
below detection limit ("BDL") to 7.8%. (Link to larger map view).

Looking Ahead
The Company is combining the results of this year's work with previous results and advanced
geophysics to begin planning and permitting a robust 2025 drilling program at Apex. Field work to
support permitting is currently underway. In addition, further refinement of drill targets is planned,
including advanced reprocessing and 3D inversions of existing airborne geophysical data, as well
as potentially conducting a targeted high-resolution airborne EM survey over the drill target zones.
QAQC
Samples were submitted to the accredited MSALabs laboratory for preparation and analysis at their
Val-d'Or, Quebec and Langley, B.C. facilities in Canada. Samples were prepared and analyzed for
gold using PhotonAssay™ at the Val-d'Or location and multi-element geochemistry at the Langley,
B.C. location. All samples were assayed for gold using the CPA-Au1 method with a >250g sample,
and separately analyzed for multi-element ICP-MS geochemistry using method IMS-230 with a 4-
acid digestion. Overlimit results (>100ppm) for silver (Ag) were further analyzed using the CPA-
AgAu1 method with a >250g sample; overlimit results (>10,000 ppm) for copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and
zinc (Zn) were further analyzed with the PER-7XX method using a sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-
AES analysis.
MSALabs employs an internal QA/QC to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment
calibration. Additionally, Relevant Gold's QA/QC program includes regular insertion of CRM
standards, duplicates, and blanks in the sample batches to further monitor lab accuracy, precision
and equipment calibration. All results and QA/QC have been reviewed by Mr. Brian Lentz, CPG, who
is the Chief Exploration Officer and Qualified Person for the Company.

Table 2: Highlight assay results from the 2024 Bradley Peak mapping and sampling program.
Anomalous gold (>0.1 ppm), copper (>0.5 %), lead (>0.1%) and zinc (>0.1%) results are included.
Silver (Ag) has a strong positive correlation to gold mineralization within the sample set and thus is
also included in this table for reference. "BDL" stands for "below detection limit" . Bolded samples
show gold values over 1 ppm, copper values over 0.5% and zinc values over 1%. Gold (Au) is
reported by the lab in ppm which is displayed in this table; 1 ppm Au is equivalent to 1 g/t Au.
