Relevant Gold drills 1.35 m of 0.42 g/t Au at Apex

Executive Summary

• Relevant Gold Corp. released results from its inaugural 2025 diamond drill program at the Apex shear target within its 100%-owned Bradley Peak gold camp in Wyoming.
• The program successfully confirmed a large, fertile Archean orogenic gold system characterized by consistent anomalous gold mineralization (>50 ppb) across all 12 drill holes and a continuous 70-to-100-metre-wide gold-bearing shear corridor.
• Drilling validated the company's exploration model, identified a parallel mineralized shear zone (BPEX) approximately 200 metres northwest of the main Apex shear, and confirmed the system remains open along strike and at depth.

Key Details

• Program Scope: 5,102 metres of HQ diamond core drilling completed across 12 widely spaced holes to constrain lithology, structure, and mineralization over approximately 600 metres of strike within the >2.5-kilometre Apex shear corridor.
• Geological Confirmation:
  • Identified a continuous 70-to-100-metre-wide gold-bearing shear corridor hosted in favourable greenstone rocks.
  • Confirmed intense hydrothermal alteration, quartz-carbonate veining, and sulphide mineralization.
  • Detected a strong multielement pathfinder geochemical signature typical of Abitibi-style Archean gold systems.
  • Validated the presence of a parallel mineralized shear zone (BPEX) ~200 metres northwest of the main Apex shear.
• Notable Gold Intercepts (Core Length):
  • Hole 25AP-009: 0.42 g/t Au over 1.35 m (382.45 m to 383.80 m).
  • Hole 25AP-006: 0.40 g/t Au over 0.91 m (62.70 m to 63.61 m).
  • Hole 25AP-010: 0.23 g/t Au over 0.56 m (322.25 m to 322.81 m).
  • Hole 25AP-003: 0.22 g/t Au and 0.19% Cu over 0.43 m (135.74 m to 136.17 m); adjacent to a >3-metre quartz vein, linking surface high-grade exposures to subsurface mineralization.
  • Hole 25AP-008: 0.20 g/t Au over 1.60 m (111.63 m to 113.23 m).
• System Characteristics:
  • Gold-bearing alteration and veining intersected to at least 400 metres vertical depth.
  • Host rocks include quartz-feldspar porphyry, lamprophyre dikes, tholeiitic basalts, and amphibolite-facies metabasalt/metagabbro, analogous to productive deposits in the Abitibi gold province.
  • A distinctive, intensely altered chlorite-talc-serpentine ultramafic marker unit was intersected along the hangingwall contact, serving as a key structural marker.
  • Alteration is localized primarily along the hangingwall side of the corridor, featuring ankerite-sericite-chlorite plus or minus fuchsite and albitization.
• Next Steps (2026 Exploration):
  • Targeted deeper drilling (>500 m) along Apex and BPEX shears to test for higher-grade mineralization downplunge.
  • Stepout drilling along strike to evaluate continuity beyond the initial 600 m tested.
  • Focused drilling on structural traps (flexures, jogs, fold hinges).
  • Integration of upcoming VTEM geophysical survey results to refine targeting.
• QA/QC: Samples analyzed by MSALabs using PhotonAssay for gold (CPA-Au1 method, >250g sample) and ICP-MS for multielement geochemistry. Reviewed by Brian Lentz, CPG, Chief Exploration Officer.

Notable Quotes

• "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, chief executive officer of Relevant Gold. "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."
