Press Releases

Toronto, Ontario – April 6th, 2022: Romios Gold Resources Inc. (“Romios Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX.V-RG; OTCQB: RMIOF; Frankfurt: D4R) and Copperhead Resources Inc. (“Copperhead”) are pleased to announce that they have signed a definitive option agreement dated April 6th, 2022 (the “Option Agreement”) pursuant to which Copperhead can acquire a 75% ownership interest in the Red Line Project (the “Project”) from Romios. Copperhead is a private British Columbia based natural resources exploration company.

Red Line Project

The Red Line claims cover over 1,851 hectares and are located in the central part of the “Golden Triangle” mineralized district of NW British Columbia. They are situated along the “Eskay Rift” belt of rocks that host the Eskay Creek Au-Ag deposit 30 km to the south. The original 5 claims were staked by Romios on August 27, 2020 to cover a section of the “red line” contact between Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group rocks and Upper Triassic Stuhini Group rocks, a highly prospective regional contact along which numerous porphyry Cu-Au-Ag and several gold deposits are localised. An additional claim was staked by Romios on January 21, 2022 when the ground to the south covering an area of fault-related conglomerates came open.

Terms of the Option Agreement

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Romios has granted Copperhead the exclusive right and option (the “Option”) to acquire a 75% ownership interest in the Project.

In order to exercise the Option, Copperhead must make the following payments/share issuances to Romios:

  • Issue 1 million Copperhead shares within 5 days of executing the Option Agreement;
  • Issue 500,000 Copperhead shares within 36 months of executing the Option Agreement; and
  • Pay CAD$75,000 within 36 months of executing the Option Agreement.

In addition to the aforementioned payments, Copperhead must spend a total of CAD$325,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project as follows to exercise the Option:

  • CAD $75,000 within 12 months of executing the Option Agreement;
  • CAD $100,000 within 24 months of executing the Option Agreement; and
  • CAD $150,000 within 36 months of executing the Option Agreement.

Copperhead will be the operator of the Project during the term of the Option Agreement. If the Option is exercised, Romios and Copperhead will enter into a joint venture agreement.

Romios Gold has over 400 square kilometers of claims in the Golden Triangle which include 3 significant Cu-Au porphyry prospects that are adjacent to Teck-Newmont’s Galore Creek project. They include the Trek North zone which was first delineated by over 7,800 meters of drilling in 2008-2010; the newly discovered Trek South apparent porphyry system which includes well developed porphyry-style alteration and related skarn-type veining only recently exposed by receding ice fields; and the JW block which covers two distinct types of potentially economic, gold-bearing mineralization: the North Fork copper-gold porphyry prospect and a number of high-grade quartz-sulphide veins. Romios plans to undertake significant work programs on Trek South and JW in 2022 including deep-penetrating IP-MT surveys as well as following up on encouraging results from 2021 on the Company’s NorthEast, NorthWest and Andrei claims blocks in the same area.
