TORONTO, ONTARIO, October 13, 2016, Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSX.V -RG) ("Romios" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed a four hole diamond drilling program on its Lundmark-Akow Lake copper-gold project in northwestern Ontario, approximately 18 km NNW of Goldcorp's Musselwhite gold mine. A total of 1,826 m (5,989 ft.) of NQ drilling was completed with individual hole lengths ranging from 399 m (1,309 ft.) to 528 m (1,732 ft.). These holes tested a series of north-northwest trending geophysical targets over a strike length of approximately 1.5 km, which is about 450 m (1476 ft.) farther north and 100 m (328 ft.) farther south than a series of shallower holes drilled by Romios in 1998 and 1999. The projection of the copper-gold zone discovered by Romios in those drill programs is at depths of approximately 200 m (656 ft.) to 300 m (984 ft.) in the current drilling. Assay results from the drill core are pending and will be released when they have been received and analyzed by the Company.
