Relevant Gold Reports 4.1 g/t Gold in Trench Sampling at Golden Buffalo
VANCOUVER, B.C., February 14, 2023 – Relevant Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Relevant Gold”) is
pleased to announce results from the 2022 detailed mapping (1:200 scale) and trench sampling program
at its Golden Buffalo project, located approximately 40km southwest of Lander, Wyoming, USA (Press
Release – November 07, 2022). Sampling of the Golden Buffalo Shear Zone contacts yielded multiple
anomalous to high-grade gold (> 1 g/t Au) samples, highlighted by a 4.1 g/t Au result. These results,
combined with the recently reported drilling results (Press Release – February 6, 2023), confirm a fertile
orogenic gold system exists at Golden Buffalo and provide initial proof of concept for the Company’s
broader exploration thesis connecting the Archean rocks of Wyoming to the Abitibi gold belts of Canada
during the time of mineralization; approximately 2.65 billion years ago.
Highlights from detailed mapping and trenching at the Golden Buffalo project include:
4.1 g/t Au sampled along northern contact of the Golden Buffalo Shear Zone
2.5 g/t Au sampled along the southern contact of the Golden Buffalo Shear Zone
High-grade (> 1 g/t Au) gold occurs in different vein styles and orientations:
1. Vertical shear parallel veins and contact zones
2. Late undulating shallow dipping veins
3. Shallow dipping extensional veins
Chlorite-Hematite-Silica alteration dominates the shear zone
New sub-unit of the Miner’s Delight Formation identified associated with surface mineralization
“These positive results continue to spotlight Golden Buffalo as an exciting target for more drilling and
systematic regional exploration in 2023,” said Rob Bergmann, CEO Relevant Gold Corp. “These high-
grade surface results tie well to what we saw in high-grade drill intercepts about 400 m farther east and
indicate we are onto a large fertile system at Golden Buffalo.”
The rock chip sampling program focused on N-S and E-W oriented trenches cut along and across the
Golden Buffalo Shear Zone and was led by Dr. Dean Peterson, Relevant Gold technical advisor. The
results show zones of highest-grade gold mineralization are associated with the primary contacts of the
shear (Fig. 1); the same places high-grade gold was intersected in holes 22GB-012 and 22GB-013 (Press
Release – February 6, 2023). A total of 64 rock chip and grab samples were submitted for 50g fire assay
and multi-element ICP-MS analysis; 15 of 64 samples returned reportable gold and associated
geochemical values (Table 1). These findings support a strong relationship between gold mineralization
and the margins of major shear structures identified throughout the Company’s 15,095 hectare South
Pass land package.
“Extensive arrays of foliation parallel and cross-cutting sulfide-bearing quartz veining occur within the
sheared greywacke panels and display the classic brittle-ductile textures that are a key hallmark of
orogenic gold systems,” said Dr. Dean Peterson, Technical Advisor to Relevant Gold.

Golden Buffalo. The table includes gold (1 ppm = 1 g/t) along with select trace element vector geochemistry reported in
Parts Per Million (ppm). 15 of 64 samples returned reportable gold and associated geochemical values.
QA/QC
Samples were submitted to the certified ALS Minerals, Inc. laboratory. Samples were prepared at their
Twin Falls, Idaho location with fire assays performed at their Reno, NV location and multi-element
geochemistry performed at their North Vancouver, Canada location. All samples were fire assayed for
gold with the Au-AA24 method using a 50g sample and atomic absorption finish, and also analyzed for
multi-element ICP-MS geochemistry using method ME-MS61 with a 4-acid digestion.
ALS 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 into 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.
