Romios Reports Results from New Targets at the Scossa Gold Project and the Kinkaid Gold-Silver-Copper Project in Nevada, USA

Romios Reports Results from New Targets at the Scossa Gold Project and the Kinkaid Gold-Silver-Copper Project in Nevada, USA

 Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG) (OTCQB: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) ("Romios Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that its recently completed field programs on the Kinkaid and Scossa properties in Nevada have returned encouraging results from new areas that have expanded the potential extent of both mineralized systems.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Three copper-bearing samples from the Dry Gulch #2 skarn in the NE corner of the Kinkaid claims assayed 1.1%, 7.2% and 16.55% Cu across different intervals 20-40 cm wide in a highly prospective limestone dipping toward a nearby granite pluton.
  • Grab samples from dumps at a previously unmapped old adit and shaft on a swarm of quartz-sulphide veins in the central Kinkaid claims returned gold assays of 2.4, 5.5 and 32.0 g/t Au and copper assays of 1.27% Cu to 3.22% Cu.
  • An assay of 10.2 g/t Au was returned from a sample of a >1 m wide quartz vein exposed 340 m south along strike of the main veins at the historic Scossa gold mine site. This area has never been systematically explored and now offers potential to substantially expand the length of the mineralized vein system.

KINKAID PROJECT: This large claim block sits in the prolific Walker Lane mineralized trend of southern Nevada and covers at least 18 historic, poorly documented, high-grade Cu-Au-Ag vein occurrences that were excavated or mined on a small scale in the early to mid-1900s.

"Romios' recent work has identified an apparent spatial link between clusters of these vein deposits and brown, discoloured areas up to 1 km across that may reflect alteration zones above buried porphyry copper system(s)," stated John Biczok, VP of Exploration. "The majority of these vein deposits strike north-northeast, parallel to the dominant faulting in the mineral rich Basin and Range terrain, suggesting that the Kinkaid mineralization is related to Basin and Range faulting rather than the later, overlapping Walker Lane tectonic event." The recent results help infill the known distribution of the vein prospects around the 1 km wide alteration zone as well as adding additional sites in other clusters of mineralized veins.

He continued, "The newly examined Dry Gulch #2 skarn occurrence that returned very high copper assays is one of 4 known skarn deposits spread across a 1.7 km x 1 km area in the northern part of the Kinkaid claim block. The link between them is still being assessed, however, their presence in thick, variably skarnified limestone formations intruded by a number of plutons is considered very encouraging."

Romios' most recent mapping has identified a 40 m thick, largely skarnified package of limestone and calcareous siltstones at least 270 m long and containing small patches of copper mineralization. This formation strikes close to several small granitic plugs only recently mapped. Many of the nearby clastic metasediment outcrops have a high percentage of equant, non-oriented biotite porphyroblasts. Mr. Biczok noted, "This feature has not been found away from the skarn prospects and it may be evidence of a larger pluton under this northern region acting as a heat and metal source for some of the skarns."

Along with ongoing petrographic and upcoming hyperspectral studies, these results will be used to further refine the geological model of the Kinkaid mineralization and help guide the next phase of the work. At this point, various geophysical, geochemical and geological options are under consideration for detecting and outlining any possible porphyry/plutonic systems beneath the veins and skarn occurrences on the Kinkaid claims. Work at Kinkaid is expected to resume in September, 2023.

SCOSSA PROJECT: Several days were spent prospecting and mapping areas north and south along strike of the >700 m long epithermal vein system that produced high-grade gold ore averaging more than 1 ounce/ton (31.1 g/t) gold during mining operations in the 1930s. Mining at Scossa ended in 1941 due to the war and there is no indication that the relatively flat scrubland area south of the veins has ever been systematically explored except for a few small pits scattered about. The 340-metre gap between the known veins and this new discovery is now considered highly prospective for extensions of the Scossa gold vein system and will be explored in the coming months through a combination of detailed geological mapping, soil sampling and hand-trenching where appropriate.

Background

KINKAID: This property consists of 109 wholly owned claims, covering approximately 9.2 sq km, 18 km east of the town of Hawthorne where the prolific Walker Lane trend overlaps the southern edge of the mineral-rich Basin and Range geological province. Acquired by Romios in late 2021, the claims host the historic Montreal Gold-Silver mine, a 500 m long series of pits and adits, as well as numerous poorly documented but often high-grade Au-Cu+/-Ag, Sb, Ba small mine workings. Romios' work to date has included a satellite image study of the alteration minerals associated with the mineralized zones and 3 brief mapping and sampling programs intended to evaluate the origin and potential of the exposed mineralization as well as the possibility of larger source plutons at depth.

SCOSSA: The historic Scossa mine exploited 5 main epithermal veins that produced high-grade gold ore from relatively shallow underground workings. The individual veins are 1-2 m wide and were only mined to a maximum depth of 122 m whereas other similar deposits in the region are typically mined to depths >350 m. The main vein system is approximately 700 m long north-south and extends across an east-west width of 500 m. A 3D model of the past drilling, historic mine workings, and surface geology was completed in 2022 for Romios by Rangefront Mining Services. This model clearly shows a highly prospective, untested portion of the main Scossa vein down-plunge from the past workings at shallow depths. Romios' diamond drilling near this target area in 2000 returned Bonanza-grade intercepts in 3 drill holes: 3.35 m @ 180.22 g/t Au, 1.98 m @ 267.96 g/t Au and 1.51 m @ 62.49 g/t Au. The recognition of paleo-boiling zone textures in the Angel Wing vein at the base of the hill containing the major veins suggests that all of these veins have potential for mineralization throughout a significant vertical extent.

Vertex Minerals Limited  Quarterly Activities Report

Vertex Minerals Limited Quarterly Activities Report

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) has identified major benefits for utilising pre-concentration technology at its Reward high grade gold mine.

Ore sorting pre-concentration test work was initiated with leading ore sorting provider TOMRA with outstanding results.

94kg of sample from the low-grade stockpile at Reward Gold Mine (Reward) was sorted. The following results were reported;

- Head grade to Sorter weighted average grade (WAG) = 3.70 g/t gold,

- Ore grade WAG after sorting = 16.22g/t gold (337.20% increase on grade),

- Ore/waste split after sorting = 19.31kgs Ore vs 74.54kgs Waste (79% mass reduction),

- Gold lost to waste fraction = 0.03grams (>90% efficiency)

Refurbishment of the plant is well underway, and Vertex anticipates that the plant will be re-installed at Hill End later this year. The Company anticipates production will commence in January 2025.

Vertex acquired a Boart Longyear LM90 underground drill rig to advance exploration at the Reward gold mine below the existing resource.

ORE SORTER TEST WORK AND IMPLEMENTATION INTO THE HILL END GRAVITY PLANT

Pre-concentration technology initiated at the Hill End Gravity Plant to separate highgrade ore from waste before it enters the processing plant.

By processing only high-grade ore, energy consumption can be reduced, water consumption will be halved leading to lower operating costs and reduction of the carbon footprint.

The small sorting unit will be simply incorporated in the existing plant being refurbished by Gekko.

Previous scoping test results from TOMRA suggested that the Greywacke country rock can be efficiently and effectively separated from the high-grade quartz carrying the gold leading to significant head grade uplift and reduced material to be processed.

Test Results

94kg of sample from the low-grade stockpile at Reward Gold Mine (Reward) was sorted.

The following results are reported;

- Head grade to Sorter weighted average grade (WAG) = 3.70 g/t gold,

- Ore grade WAG after sorting = 16.22g/t gold (337.20% increase on grade),

- Ore/waste split after sorting = 19.31kgs Ore vs 74.54kgs Waste (79% mass reduction),

- Gold lost to waste fraction = 0.03grams (>90% efficiency)

ACQUISITION OF A LM90 UNDERGROUND DRILL RIG

Vertex has acquired a Boart Longyear LM90 underground drill rig to advance exploration at the Reward gold mine below the existing resource.

The Vertex team are planning diamond drill programs for the following:

- Below the current JORC-2012 Reward Resource with the aim of expanding upon the existing resource;

- Fosters Exploration Target; and

- South Star prospect area

Acquisition of the LM90 follows an extensive review of the mineralisation potential below the Reward resource, which has only been drilled up to 50m below the Amalgamated Adit. This area targeted is referred to as the 'Reward mid depths' as it is located just 80m to ~200m below the Amalgamated Adit. Refer to Figure 1*

Upon commissioning of the LM90 drill rig, Vertex have planned eight drill holes to target the high-grade Fosters Exploration target.

The LM90 has several advantages well-suited to Vertex's requirements, including:

- The ability to work on surface and underground;

- Safe, Semi-automated, with a rod-handler system which allows for less manual handling;

- Allows greater flexibility in drilling over a number of resource and exploration areas; and

- LM 90 rigs are well-established in the industry as safe and reliable underground drill rigs.

Vertex acquiring its own rig has many advantages;

- Per-metre drill costs will be significantly less than hiring an external drill contractor

- More control and accuracy over precision of drilling.

- Works well with Job sharing

- Reduces pressure on Mining crew to have drill cuddy availability

- The LM90 rig will be accounted for as an asset on the Vertex balance sheet
