Relevant Gold expands VTEM survey across South Pass

RGC · Price

Executive Summary

  • Relevant Gold Corp. has expanded its exploration activities at its South Pass gold camp in Wyoming, initiating a major airborne VTEM and magnetics survey to identify new drill targets for 2026.
  • The company has completed systematic geological mapping, rock chip sampling (446 samples), and soil sampling (1,400 samples) to define exploration targets, with results pending.
  • The VTEM survey covers 2,807 line-kilometres and is expected to conclude in Q4 2025, with initial interpretations anticipated in Q1 2026.

Key Details

  • Survey Expansion: Initiated a combined airborne high-resolution versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEM) and magnetics survey across the greater than 35,000-acre South Pass gold camp.
  • Survey Specifications: The VTEM survey covers 2,807 line-kilometres with 75-metre line spacing, designed to identify concealed structures, conductive/magnetic anomalies, and refine drill targets.
  • Survey Timeline: Data collection at South Pass and Bradley Peak is expected to conclude in Q4 2025. Initial results and interpretations are anticipated in Q1 2026.
  • Lewiston Subproject: Completed geological mapping and rock chip sampling in the southern Lewiston area to follow up on 2024 drilling at Burr.
    • Samples: 446 rock chip samples submitted to MSA Labs in Elko, Nev., for gold and pathfinder element analysis.
    • Status: Results are pending.
  • Windy Flats Soil Sampling: Collected 1,400 soil samples along eight survey lines totaling approximately 32 line km.
    • Spacing: Samples spaced at 25 m intervals on north-south-oriented lines spaced every 300 m.
    • Analysis: Analyzed with a portable Niton XL5 X-ray fluorescence detector for pathfinder elements including Arsenic (As), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn).
  • Funding: The survey at Bradley Peak received $226,533 (U.S.) in matching grant funds from the Wyoming Energy Matching Funds (EMF) program.
  • Geological Context: Gold mineralization is correlated with sulfide-bearing shear structures (arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite-pyrite) and quartz veins within the Miners Delight formation.
  • Next Steps:
    • Geochemical sampling and mapping results/assays expected in Q4 2025.
    • Data analysis, interpretations, and target analysis expected in Q1 2026.

Notable Quotes

  • "These initiatives are designed to unlock the full potential of the high-grade and grossly underexplored South Pass gold district," said Relevant Gold chief executive officer Rob Bergmann. "Results from our sampling and drilling programs to date have confirmed high-grade, gold-bearing structures surrounded by broad, shallow zones of lower-grade mineralization. We expect the upcoming surface sampling to highlight additional gold zones, and the planned geophysical work will help us see deeper into known structures and define new targets for our 2026 drilling program."
