[{"type":"text","content":"Romios-Copperhead Option Discovers Highly Prospective Intrusions on the Red Line Claims Project, Golden Triangle, B.C.Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2023) - Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG) (OTCQB: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) (\"Romios\") and Copperhead Resources Inc. (\"Copperhead\") are pleased to report that they have discovered three highly prospective intrusions on the Red Line claims in the mineral rich Golden Triangle area of NW British Columbia. These intrusions include 2 areas of K-feldspar porphyritic syenite similar to one of the key units found at the giant Galore Creek porphyry Cu-Au deposit owned by Teck and Newmont.Romios' VP of Exploration, Mr. John Biczok, P. Geo, commented, \"The 2023 exploration program on the Red Line claims has made a very important step forward by discovering what appears to be the same type of intrusive rocks that are associated with the alkalic porphyry Cu-Au-Ag deposits of this region, as well as large areas of the epidote and pyritic alteration typically found in the outer shells around such mineralization. We are looking forward to exploring these exciting targets during the next phase of the field work.\"HIGHLIGHTS:A previously undocumented K-feldspar porphyritic syenite pluton believed to be more than 300 m wide was discovered <1.5 km south of the Red Line claims and immediately staked. This large body of highly gossanous syenite closely resembles one of the key intrusions associated with the Galore Creek alkalic porphyry Cu-Au-Ag deposits.Numerous K-feldspar syenite boulders were located on the Red Line 2 claim, derived from the upper part of a steep ridge of metasediments and lesser volcanics which are often pervasively altered to epidote. The association of strong epidote alteration with the syenite dykes may be indicative of a porphyry copper type system at depth here. A second, previously unknown pluton was located on the Red Line 2 and 3 claims, in this case a >700 m long body of pervasively altered hornblende granodiorite.The discovery of these 2 highly prospective plutons, and the numerous syenite dykes associated with widespread epidote alteration, has significantly improved the odds of locating a porphyry Cu-Au-Ag type occurrence on the Red Line claims. BACKGROUNDOriginal Claims: The original Red Line claims were staked in 2020 to cover a portion of the ...
