[{"type":"text","content":"Romios Commences 673 Line km VTEM Airborne Geophysical Survey of Highly Prospective Areas in the \"Golden Triangle\" of BCToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 31, 2018) - Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG) (OTC Pink: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) (\"Romios\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract with Geotech Ltd. to undertake an airborne magnetic and VTEMTM Terrain Time Domain electromagnetic survey over three of the Company's most prospective exploration targets on its Newmont Lake property in the \"Golden Triangle\" of British Columbia. The Geotech crew is mobilizing to the project area this week and the survey is expected to cover approximately 97 square kilometres at a line spacing of 125 m. Given the survey conditions and geological environment, the VTEMTM Terrain survey can be expected to detect conductive base metal sulphide deposits at depths of 250-300 m or more, which is a significant improvement over the previous frequency domain survey flown in this area which had a depth penetration of about 70-80 m. The three survey blocks are referred to as the Northwest Zone, Ken Zone and the Dirk claims. Romios' exploration efforts on each of these blocks have advanced over the past twelve years from initial geological mapping and prospecting to airborne magnetic and shallow-penetrating EM surveys to localised ground geophysics and diamond drilling of several mineralized showings which crop out at surface. Drilling of these showings by Romios and previous operators was typically <100-150 m deep and occasionally to 200m. The style of mineralization evident in these shallow zones suggests that there very well could be additional mineralized zones at depth and in some cases any deeper zones within the system may be of a different, potentially higher-grade style. For example, the Northwest Zone itself consists of mantos, chimneys and irregular replacement bodies of massive, pyrite-rich Au-Ag-Cu ± magnetite mineralization (1.4 M tonnes grading 4.43 g/t Au, 0.22% Cu, and 6.4 g/t Ag. See Romios News Release March 27, 2007) in limestone. Manto deposits are often part of larger mineralizing systems related to granitic intrusions at depth which can have significant base metal +/- Au-Ag skarn deposits developed along their margins and/or porphyry copper deposits within the intrusion itself.
