(TSXV: RG) (OTC Pink: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) (\"Romios\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the results of hole RGR-17-1 which was drilled to a length of 513 metres at Atim Lake North on its Lundmark-Akow Lake project in northwestern Ontario, approximately 18 km NNW of Goldcorp's Musselwhite Gold Mine, to test a series of stacked electromagnetic (VTEM) conductors in the vicinity of the 1.5 km long \"Romios Copper-Gold Zone\" discovered by Romios and tested initially by diamond drilling in 1998, 1999 and more recently in 2016.The most notable mineralization that was encountered in hole RGR-17-1 was a zone of massive sulphides that was intersected from 299.2 to 301.1 metres (drill hole width of 1.90 metres, with a true width of 1.40 metres) which averaged 2.35 % copper, 1.4 g/t gold and 68.2 g/t silver representing the weighted average of three contiguous samples. Three additional intervals of copper-gold mineralization were encountered in the hole associated with hydrothermally altered staurolite-garnet-biotite-sericite schists similar to those encountered in previous holes that were drilled to test the copper-gold enriched alteration zone approximately 1.5 to 3 km to the southeast. The details of these intersections are outlined in the chart below. All mineralized intercept assays are the weighted average of contiguous samples.

These range from 0.13 to 0.75m in drilled width and grade up to 0.29% Cu and 1.66 g/t Au. The massive sulphide zone was intersected 200m below surface and the three mineralized schist intervals were intersected at depths between 60m and 110m. The host rocks are moderately siliceous and contain abundant tourmalinite imila...
