Press Releases

TORONTO, ONTARIO (June 23, 2011) -- Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RG) ("Romios" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of a 743 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey over the Company's wholly owned Dirk and Andrei properties in the Galore Creek area, Northwestern British Columbia. The geophysical survey employed Fugro Airborne's "DIGHEM" system, measuring multiple frequency electromagnetic fields to produce high-resolution electromagnetic resistivity and magnetic anomaly maps of the top 150 metres of the earth's crust. The DIGHEM system, in development and use for over 40 years, is widely used in the mining and exploration industry and has aided mineral exploration at other properties in the area such as Newmont Lake, Trek, Galore Creek, and Copper Canyon.

Preliminary results of the Fugro survey over the Dirk property suggest a coincidence between a broad, northeasterly striking magnetic anomaly of moderate intensity with a megacrystic syenite porphyry, similar to those found at Galore Creek. Surface mineralization on the Dirk property is reflected as geophysical anomalies exhibiting a high-magnetic, low-resistivity signature within and adjacent to a larger magnetic anomaly outlined in the Fugro Airborne Survey. Together, the broad magnetic anomaly and the anomalies reflecting surface mineralization, cover an area approximately 9.6 km long by 3.0 km wide. A 2010 mapping project from the British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS) supported Romios' contention that the Dirk property mineralization is analogous to and may be as large as the Galore Creek Project (see Press Release March 3, 2011).

The Dirk and the recently staked Andrei property are described by the BCGS as holding the potential for VMS (volcanic massive sulphide) - related mineralization. Known silver, zinc, and copper- mineralization within rhyolite ash flows on the Andrei property are manifested in the Fugro surveys as geophysical anomalies which exhibit low to moderate resisivity and moderate magnetic signatures similar to those recorded over the National Instrument 43-101 Inferred Resource of the Northwest Zone on the Newmont Lake property (see Press Release dated March 26, 2007).

A more comprehensive analysis of the Dirk and Andrei geophysical surveys will be conducted upon receipt of the completed and final results from Fugro Airborne Surveys. Maps of the preliminary results will be posted on Romios' website.

The airborne geophysical survey is part of the $6+ million 2011 exploration program which also includes approximately 10,200 metres of diamond drilling on the Trek property, 1,200 metres on the Dirk property, and 400 metres on the Newmont Lake property. 

Drilling commenced on June 2, 2011 on the Tangle and North Zones at the Trek Property. The first hole has been completed on the Tangle Zone and has encountered variable amounts of sulphide mineralization. This mineralization correlates well with the IP (induced polarization) and MT (magnetotelluric) anomalies identified in the 2010 Titan 24 Survey (Press Release November 4, 2010). Drilling on the second hole on the Tangle Zone is in progress.

Drilling has also commenced on the first hole of the 2011 season in the North Zone targeting the near surface mineralization and the deeper MT anomaly identified by the 2010 Titan Survey. All drilling results will be announced as soon as they are available.

The technical information contained in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Mel de Quadros, Ph.D., P.Eng., Director of Romios Gold Resources Inc. and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
