Romios Gold expands Cu-mineralized zone at Trek

Executive Summary

• Romios Gold Resources expands the known copper‑gold mineralized zone at its Trek South prospect in BC’s Golden Triangle and announces plans for the first-ever drilling campaign in 2026.
• New fieldwork reveals a ~1 km² core of intense porphyry alteration, a newly discovered mineralized porphyritic dike, and a strong 850‑m IP chargeability anomaly coincident with a magnetic high, indicating a sizable underlying porphyry system.
• Geophysical, mapping, and rock‑sampling results support a robust MDRU‑style porphyry model; drilling conditions are deemed favorable, and a drill permit is already in place.

Key Details

• Area Expansion: Boulder‑train analysis extends the copper‑mineralized zone ~600 m southward; overall mineralized footprint now ~1 km × 1 km within a broader 1.5 km × 1.5 km porphyry system.
• Porphyritic Dike Discovery: First surface exposure of a ~3‑m‑wide feldspar‑biotite dike containing copper‑gold mineralization, providing direct evidence of the intrusive source.
• Geophysical Anomalies:
• 850 m long IP chargeability anomaly aligned with a pronounced magnetic high at the glacier toe.
• Aeromagnetic data and boulder‑train distribution suggest the porphyry core extends an additional ~600 m south beneath current ice.
• Alteration Suite: Widespread intense epidote alteration, quartz‑pyrite stockworks, copper‑gold‑tungsten‑enriched skarnification, plus localized actinolite, carbonate, biotite‑magnetite, and hematite zones.
• Drilling Outlook 2026:
• Target area outboard of glacier toe offers gentle terrain with fresh bedrock and minimal weathering—ideal for rapid drill set‑up.
• Drill permit secured; updated NI 43‑101 technical report (including budget) under preparation.
• Glacial Retreat Impact: Ice front has retreated ~200 m over the past decade, exposing a meltwater‑filled depression over the highest alteration intensity and magnetic/IP anomalies.
• Additional Targets:
• Toe Zone: Newly exposed high‑grade Eskay Creek‑style zone now ~400 m long; core target for next season’s drill program.
• Trek North: Historic holes (e.g., TRK‑08‑01: 131.4 m @ 0.61% Cu, 0.39 g/t Au, 8.5 g/t Ag) indicate potential; plans to remodel and target underlying geophysical anomaly.
• Qualified Person Review: Technical information reviewed and approved by John Biczok, P.Geo., Vice‑President Exploration, Romios Gold (NI 43‑101 qualified person).
