Romios begins follow-up field program at Kinkaid

OTMC · Price

Executive Summary

  • Romios Gold Resources Inc. has initiated a 10-day field program focused on detailed geological mapping and sampling at its Kinkaid Copper-Gold-Silver Project in Nevada.
  • The program aims to advance the PM skarn and Bismark Hill targets toward drill-ready status, building on significant gold-silver assays returned earlier in the year.
  • The company posits that these surface targets may overlie buried porphyry copper-gold intrusive centers, describing the potential discovery as a "game-changing development."

Key Details

  • Field Program Scope: A 10-day program involving detailed geological mapping, rock chip sampling, and soil sampling is underway. An induced polarization (IP) survey is anticipated for 2026.
  • Project Location: Kinkaid Project, Walker Lane trend, western Nevada; 100% owned by Romios.
  • Bismark Hill Results:
    • Grab and chip sampling since 2022 has identified a 350-by-240-metre alteration zone.
    • Historical assays returned up to 36.3 g/t gold and 4.8% copper from quartz veins.
    • Recent limited sampling of hematitic quartz pods and quartz veined fracture zones in a >20-metre-wide altered zone returned 13.95 g/t gold and 6.09 g/t gold, respectively.
    • Copper-gold mineralized barite veins and rubble are scattered over a >65-metre-wide adjacent exposure.
  • PM Skarn Results:
    • One sample from an old working returned 1,725 g/t (61 oz/t) silver, 6.9% zinc, 0.4% copper, and 1% lead.
    • Assays of 10.6 g/t gold were returned from quartz veinlets adjacent to historical skarn workings.
    • 3.2 g/t gold was returned from a brecciated quartzite unit flanking a broad silica zone containing anomalous gold, manganese, and mercury.
  • Geological Interpretation: The combination of epithermal gold-silver and gold-tungsten-copper skarn mineralization suggests the presence of underlying porphyry systems.
  • Other Project Updates (from "About" section):
    • Trek South (BC): Drill permit in place; updated NI 43-101 report and budget under preparation; first drilling planned for the 2026 field season.
    • Scossa Mine (Nevada): Former high-grade gold producer.
    • Lundmark-Akow Lake (Ontario): 100% interest; previous drilling produced broad volcanogenic massive sulphide-style Au-Cu intersections.
    • Royalties: 2% NSR on McEwen Mining's Hislop property and 2% NSR on Enduro Metals' Newmont Lake property.

Notable Quotes

  • "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 new-found 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, for Romios.
