New Round Of Fieldwork On Kinkaid Copper-Gold-Silver Project Commences

TORONTO – Romios Gold Resources Inc. has begun a field program of detailed geological mapping and sampling to follow up significant gold assays returned earlier this year from newly discovered epithermal gold-silver zones at the PM Skarn and Bismark Hill sites on the road-accessible Kinkaid project in the Walker Lane trend of western Nevada. The PM Skarn and Bismark Hill targets, along with dozens of old mine workings and prospect pits dispersed across the wider Kinkaid property, appear to be part of much larger alteration and mineralization systems postulated to overlie as many as five buried porphyry Cu-Au intrusive centres. The goal of the current program of mapping, rock chip and soil sampling, together with an induced polarization (IP) survey anticipated for 2026, is to advance the PM Skarn and Bismark Hill targets toward drill-ready status.
At Bismark Hill the grab and chip sampling by Romios geologists in the period since 2022 of a 350 x 240 metre alteration zone centred on Bismark Hill have returned highly encouraging gold and copper values. Assay values up to 36.3 g/t gold and 4.8% copper have been returned from quartz veins, and very limited sampling of hematitic quartz pods and quartz veined fracture zones in a >20 metre wide highly altered zone returned 13.95 g/t gold and 6.09 g/t gold values respectively. Copper-gold mineralized barite veins and rubble is scattered over a >65 metre wide adjacent exposure. Results to date suggest there is good potential for the Bismark Hill area to host a broad zone of gold-copper mineralization.
At the PM Skarn target area, grab and chip sampling by Romios geologists in the period since 2022 returned one sample assaying 1,725 g/t (61 oz/t) silver, 6.9% zinc, 0.4% copper, and 1% lead in quartz vein material from an old working, 10.6 g/t gold from quartz veinlets adjacent to historical skarn workings, and 3.2 g/t gold from a brecciated quartzite unit flanking a broad silica zone that itself contains anomalous levels of gold, manganese and mercury, metals typical of shallow level epithermal gold systems.
“The combination of epithermal gold-silver and gold-tungsten-copper skarn mineralization styles exposed at surface in old workings and outcrop at these two large target areas along with our newfound recognition, from the nature of the alteration and mineralogy, that they may reflect underlying porphyry systems, is an exciting and potentially game-changing development for the Kinkaid project,” said John Biczok, Vice President Exploration. “They provide exploration targets of considerable scale, and we’re looking forward to further advancing them toward drill-ready status with the current round of work.”
