Romios Announces Continued Expansion of Mineralization at Its Dirk Property in British Columbia, Including a Chip Sample With 1.
February 09 2011 - 8:00AM
Marketwired
The management of Romios Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or
"Romios Gold") (TSX VENTURE: RG)(OTCBB: RMIOF)(FRANKFURT: D4R) is
pleased to announce assay results from chip sampling at its 100%
owned Dirk property in the Galore Creek area in northwestern
British Columbia. The chip sampling and prospecting on the Dirk
claims was undertaken during 2010 to follow up on the results of
the rock geochemical sampling conducted in the 2009 exploration
program. The three principal mineral showings at the Dirk property
are the Dirk, Telena, and the newly-discovered Ridge showings.
Below are highlights of the results of the mineral showings:
Ridge
Though isolated from the Dirk and Telena showings by snow and
overburden, the Ridge showing exhibits similar characteristics to
the Telena and Dirk, indicating the three showings are related and
form an inter-connected system of copper-gold mineralization. Eight
grab samples from skarns and intrusions forming a ridgeline 7.0
metres wide and 30 metres long included 3.49% Cu and 0.28 g/t Au;
2.47% Cu and 0.19 g/t Au; 1.83% Cu and 0.38 g/t Au and 1.83% Cu and
0.49 g/t Au.
Telena
One 3.0 metre long continuous set of chip samples averaged 1.23%
Cu, 1.00 g/t Au and 12.88 g/t Ag; and one 4.0 metre long continuous
set of chip samples averaged 0.44% Cu, 0.35 g/t Au, and 5.2 g/t Ag.
Chip sample assays from the 2010 season ranged from 0.01 to 1.96%
Cu, and 0.01 to 1.27 g/t Au. This chip sampling followed up on a
grab sample taken in 2009 (2.07% Cu, 0.97 g/t Au, and 6.9 g/t Ag),
thirty-two 1.0 metre long chip samples and two additional grab
samples.
Dirk
Samples assayed up to 2.6 g/t Au from outcrop, and 6.21% Cu,
0.577 g/t Au, and 44.1 g/t Ag from a 3.0 metre long chip sample.
Concentrated and high-grade gold and copper mineralization at the
Dirk property was discovered in 2009, during a property-wide
reconnaissance program designed to investigate the original
historic Dirk mineral showing dating from 1973.
During the field work in 2010, Romios geologists conducted
additional sampling at the Telena showing, and discovered and
sampled the Ridge showing. The program focused on connecting the
mineralization between these three showings, and identified three
drill sites designed to intersect and explore the exposed
mineralization at depth. Romios Gold intends to drill these sites
with its next drill program this summer. The presence of high-grade
mineralized surface exposures, spanning 300 metres in elevation for
2.4 kilometres horizontally indicates the potential for rapid
exploration growth in a developing mineral district.
The Dirk property is 6.0 km northwest of the Company's Newmont
Lake property. Mineralization on the Dirk claims is comprised of
veinlets and stringers of bornite, digenite, and trace chalcopyrite
within carbonates, mineralized breccias and related orthoclase
megacrystic syenite intrusions, similar to those at the Galore
Creek and Mt. Polley deposits.
