(TSXV: RG) (OTC Pink: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) (\"Romios\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that field work has begun on its TREK porphyry copper-gold project in the prolific Golden Triangle area of NW British Columbia, Canada. This property is located 10 km SE of the enormous, >1.1 Billion tonne, Galore Creek porphyry Cu-Au deposits which are owned by a Teck-Newmont JV (\"GCMC\") and are in the midst of a multi-year program to bring them to the pre-feasibility study stage (see Maps 1 and 2 appended below). GCMC has largely finished a road from provincial highway 37 to the site of a proposed mill complex 11 km east of the TREK North Zone, and cleared a roadway from there to the deposit area across the TREK claims passing within 2 km of the North Zone. A field exam by Romios in 2019 uncovered a potential porphyry Cu-Au system in a previously unexplored area on the southern TREK claims (see below).RECENT DISCOVERIES: In 2019 a new zone of skarn-type alteration veins with local copper-gold-pyrite mineralization was located on the southern TREK claims in an area recently exposed by melting snowfields. A sample of one such vein assayed 0.4% Cu, 1 g/t Au and 3 g/t Ag and a sulphidic float sample assayed 1.4% Cu, 3.6 g/t Au and 48 g/t Ag. This type of skarn vein is commonly developed around and over buried porphyry Cu-Au deposits and a past Romios airborne magnetic survey strongly suggests that there is an un-mapped intrusion nearby that is now only partially obscured by a receding snowfield. An arcuate series of historic high-grade showings with strong alteration envelopes occurs 400 to 600 m from the inferred pluton margin. Past sampling results include grab samples up to 809 g/t Ag, 1.5 g/t Au, 1% Cu, 9.1% Pb and 20.5% Zn from the East Zone, multiple grab samples assaying 1.1 g/t to 5.7 g/t Au and 1.8% to 6.1% Cu from the DCP Zone, and high-grade chip samples up to 4.8% Cu, 1.2 g/t Au, and 246 g/t Ag over 0.67 m from the TOE Zone. Several newly revealed prominent gossans were also exposed in 2019 by a receding glacier but could not be reached at that time due to logistical constraints. These gossans, ...
