Romios Gold Resources Inc. reported that its recently completed field programs on the Kinkaid and Scossa properties in Nevada have returned
encouraging results from new areas that have expanded the potential extent of both mineralized systems. Highlights: Three copper-bearing samples from the Dry Gulch #2 skarn in the NE corner of the Kinkaid claims assayed 1.1%, 7.2% and 16.55% Cu across different intervals 20-40 cm wide in a highly prospective limestone dipping toward a nearby granite pluton. Grab samples from dumps at a previously unmapped old adit and shaft on a swarm of quartz- sulphide veins in the central Kinkaid claims returned gold assays of 2.4, 5.5 and 32.0 g/t Au and copper assays of 1.27% Cu to 3.22% Cu. An assay of 10.2 g/t Au was returned from a sample of a >1 m wide quartz vein exposed 340 m south along strike of the main veins at the historic Scossa gold mine site. This area has never been systematically explored and now offers potential to substantially expand the length of the mineralized vein system. KINKAID PROJECT: This large claim block sits in the prolific Walker Lane mineralized trend of southern Nevada and covers at least 18 historic, poorly documented, high-grade Cu-Au-Ag vein occurrences that were excavated or mined on a small scale in the early to mid-1900s. Along with ongoing petrographic and upcoming hyperspectral studies, these results will be used to further refine the geological model of the Kinkaid mineralization and help guide the next phase of the work. At this point, various geophysical, geochemical and geological options are under consideration for detecting and outlining any possible porphyry/plutonic systems beneath the veins and skarn occurrences on the Kinkaid claims. Work at Kinkaid is expected to resume in September, 2023. SCOSSA PROJECT: Several days were spent prospecting and mapping areas north and south along strike of the >700 m long epithermal vein system that produced high-grade gold ore averaging more than 1 ounce/ton (31.1 g/t) gold during mining operations in the 1930s. Mining at Scossa ended in 1941 due to the war and there is no indication that the relatively flat scrubland area south of the veins has ever been systematically explored except for a few small pits scattered about. The 340-metre gap between the known veins and this new discovery is now considered highly prospective for extensions of the Scossa gold vein system and will be explored in the coming months through a combination of detailed geological mapping, soil sampling and hand-trenching where appropriate.
