The management of Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RG)(OTCBB:RMIOF)(FRANKFURT:D4R) has announced further positive results from the diamond drill program carried out during the summer of 2010 on its Trek Property in the Galore Creek area of British Columbia.
Higher grade mineralization in holes TRK10-01 to TRK10-03 was followed with further higher grade results in drill holes TRK10-05 to TRK10-08.
Tom Drivas, President of Romios, commented, "We are very pleased with the positive results from the 2010 Drill Program on the Trek Property. With each drill program we are getting closer to fulfilling our objective of developing a viable high tonnage porphyry copper-gold deposit. We are looking forward to our next drilling program on Trek, especially in light of the upcoming Hwy 37 power line and other developments in the area. In addition, we will continue working to advance the gold resource on our Newmont Lake Project and further our exploration work on our other projects."
Eight holes totalling 3,975.4 metres (13,042 feet) were drilled at the North Zone bringing the total to 23 holes on the Trek Property to date. The results confirm mineralization over an area measuring approximately 700 metres (2,296 feet) by 550 metres (1,804 feet) and to a depth of 450 metres (1,476 feet) indicating potential for significant tonnage. The North Zone is yet to be fully explored and is open to the east, south, north and at depth.
Some significant long intercepts from the 2010 drill program are as follows:
- TRK10-01: 78.0 metres (256 feet) of 0.20 % Cu, 0.26 g/t Au, and 2.18 g/t Ag
- TRK10-03: 102.0 metres (335 feet) of 0.37% Cu, 0.15 g/t Au, and 1.18 g/t Ag
- TRK10-05: 56.0 metres (184 feet) of 0.37% Cu, 0.42 g/t Au, and 0.62 g/t Ag
- TRK10-07: 152.0 metres (499 feet) of 0.25% Cu, 0.15 g/t Au, and 1.94 g/t Ag
- TRK10-08: 50.8 metres (166 feet) of 0.33% Cu, 0.18 g/t Au, and 2.68 g/t Ag
Some significant, higher grade intercepts from the 2010 drilling program are as follows:
- TRK10-03: 4.6 metres (15 feet) of 3.84% Cu, 1.82 g/t Au, and 8.52 g/t Ag
- TRK10-05: 10 metres (33 feet) of 0.76% Cu, 0.99 g/t Au, and 1.3 g/t Ag
- TRK10-07: 5.2 metres (17 feet) of 1.75% Cu, 0.60 g/t Au, and 14.3 g/t Ag
- TRK10-08: 8.0 metres (26 feet) of 1.52% Cu, 0.75 g/t Au and 5.98 g/t Ag
As a matter of procedure, the mineralized intervals of drill core were split in the field using an electric-powered core saw, bagged and sealed for delivery to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Vancouver for analysis. In addition to the laboratory's quality control program, a rigorous on-site quality assurance and quality control program was implemented which involves the insertion of blanks, standards and splits to ensure reliable assay results.
Results from the recently completed Quantec Titan 24 Survey and sampling on the Dirk Property will also be released when they have been received and analyzed by the Company.
