Confirmation Of Gold Bearing Shear Zone At Apex

VANCOUVER – Relevant Gold Corp. reported on the diamond drill program at the Apex Shear Target, part of the Bradley Peak Gold Camp in the Seminoe Mountains, central Wyoming. The 5,102 metre (m) HQ diamond core drilling program, the first ever completed at Apex, has confirmed the presence of a large, fertile Archean orogenic gold system.
Consistent anomalous gold mineralization (>50 ppb Au) in all 12 drill holes. A continuous 70-100 m wide gold‑bearing shear corridor hosted in favorable greenstone rocks. Intense hydrothermal alteration, quartz‑carbonate veining, and sulfide mineralization. A strong multi‑element pathfinder geochemical signature typical of Abitibi‑style Archean gold systems.
Drilling tested approximately 600 m of strike within the >2.5 km Apex shear corridor using 12 widely spaced drillholes designed to constrain lithology, structure, and mineralization as defined by surface mapping, 3D structural modelling, geophysical magnetic surveys, and rock chip sampling. Importantly, drilling also confirmed the presence of a parallel mineralized shear zone (BPEX) situated approximately 200 m northwest of the main Apex shear, adding scale and structural complexity to the system. While no individual intercept from this first‑pass program yet defines an ore shoot, every hole intersected gold‑bearing structures and multi‑element anomalies within a consistent shear corridor, confirming the orogenic gold potential of Apex and validating the Company’s exploration model for the broader Bradley Peak Gold Camp.
Notable gold intervals include (represented as core length): 1) 0.42 g/t Au over 1.35 m in hole 25AP‑009 from 382.45 m to 383.80 m (hole depth). 2) 0.40 g/t Au over 0.91 m in hole 25AP‑006 from 62.70 m to 63.61 m. 3) 0.23 g/t Au over 0.56 m in hole 25AP‑010 from 322.25 m to 322.81 m. 4) 0.22 g/t Au and 0.19% Cu over 0.43 m in hole 25AP‑003 from 135.74 m to 136.17 m, adjacent to a >3 m quartz vein. This zone was cut where the strike and dip projection extends from the surface high-grade exposures, confirming a broad mineralizing shear corridor at Apex with the ability to carry high-grade gold. 5) 0.20 g/t Au over 1.60 m in hole 25AP‑008 from 111.63 m to 113.23 m. 6) Several intercepts of >0.1% copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) mineralization within the Apex Zone.
“To intersect consistent gold-bearing alteration and veining across 600 m of strike and 400 m of depth in the first-ever drill program at Apex confirms we’re into a large, fertile system and validates our orogenic gold model,” said Rob Bergmann, CEO. “While individual gold intercepts from this program are modest, they sit within a broad, well‑developed corridor and give us the structural and geochemical framework we need to vector toward higher‑grade zones. Apex remains a top‑tier exploration priority, and the recognition of parallel shears like BPEX underscores the scale potential we continue to see in the Bradley Peak Gold Camp. Together with the upcoming VTEM geophysical results, these data will guide a targeted, follow‑up drill program aimed at testing deeper, structurally favorable positions and additional shears within the broader Bradley Peak trend.”
