Press Releases

Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSX.V -RG) is pleased to announce that it will undertake an exploration program beginning in June on its Newmont Lake Project located in northwestern British Columbia. The program, estimated to cost $1.4 million, will consist of diamond drilling on the Northwest, Ken, '72, and Telena Zones, with additional ground magnetic and magneto-telluric geophysical surveys planned for both the Newmont Lake and Trek projects. In addition, continued prospecting and geochemical sampling will be carried out to test for extensions of existing mineralization and identification of new high-grade gold and copper mineralization on both the Newmont Lake and Trek projects. 

Newmont Lake Project: Cu-Au-Ag Porphyry, Au-Cu Skarn

The combined Newmont Lake Project is comprised of the Newmont Lake, Dirk and Andrei properties, which totals approximately 53,889 hectares (133,162 acres). The project hosts multiple porphyry-style mineral showings. Drill testing since 2007 on a number of these showings confirmed massive sulphide, porphyry, and porphyry-related skarn mineralization. The planned exploration program will concentrate on advancing the '72 and Telena Zones, which were first drilled during the summer of 2011 (Press Release dated Oct 19, 2011), and adjacent higher-grade massive sulphide-bearing Ken and Northwest Zones. Results encountered to date include a drill hole intersection of 753 g/t gold, 463 g/t silver, and 0.69% copper over 0.44 metres. This intercept is contained within a wider 14.01 metre (45.95 feet) mineralized interval that assayed 26.44 g/t (.77 oz) gold, 21.36 g/t (.62 oz) silver and 0.21% copper (see Press Release dated Sept 22, 2008). This mineralization style could be similar to the "Valley of the Kings" at the Brucejack deposit, 40 kilometres to the southeast. An existing NI 43-101 inferred resource at the project's Northwest Zone includes 1,406,000 tonnes at a grade of 4.43 g/t Au, 0.22% Cu and 6.4 g/t Ag or a gold equivalent grade (AuEq) of 5.16 g/t. This equates to in-situ contained metal of 200,000 ounces of gold, 6,790,000 lbs. of copper and 291,000 ounces of silver. These resources are reported at a base case gold equivalent cut-off grade of 2 g/t. (Mineral Resources have not demonstrated economic viability and therefore are not Mineral Reserves) (See Press Release dated March 26, 2007)

District infrastructure developments include a planned hydropower facility, road, and communications located approximately 15 kilometres south of the Romios' McLymont Camp (Press Release dated April 3, 2012), making the Newmont Lake Project one of the most accessible in the Golden Triangle.

The BC Ministry of Forests, Mines and Lands postulated that the Newmont Lake Project and the VMS belt discoveries, of which Romios is the primary tenure holder, are "unprecedented opportunities to expand the 'Golden Triangle' to the north, from the Eskay Creek, Snip, and the Rock and Roll deposits towards the large Cu-Au-Ag porphyries in the neighbouring Galore Creek area" which includes Romios' Trek property and the NovaGold/Teck Resources' Galore Creek and Copper Canyon properties (Press Release March 3, 2011). The Golden Triangle extends to the south to include both Seabridge's KSM deposits and Pretium Resources' Brucejack and Snowfield deposits.

Trek Property: Au-Cu-Ag Porphyry

The Trek property, 100% owned by Romios, covers 4,297 hectares (10,618 acres) in the Galore Creek Area adjacent to GCMC's (NovaGold and Teck Resources) Galore Creek Project that contains a large, undeveloped, porphyry-related, copper-gold-silver deposit. Romios has been conducting exploration on the Trek property since 2006 and actively drilling since 2008. Drilling in 2011 at the Trek Property's North Zone identified two additional copper and gold-rich horizons (Press Releases dated September 26, December 14, 2011), as well as structures responsible for controlling the mineralizing fluids for over 5.0 kilometres of strike length.

Our 2012 exploration plans on the Trek property include updating the existing NI 43-101 technical report and implementation of both surface and down-hole geophysics to identify potential extensions of the copper and gold-rich horizons at the North Zone and other sites on the property, in preparation for the next phase of drilling and advancing this BC-style porphyry property.
