Relevant Gold expands VTEM survey across South Pass Project, Wyoming

Relevant Gold Corp. [TSXV: RGC; OTCQB: RGCCF] provided an exploration update for it’s greater than 35,000-acre South Pass gold camp in west-central Wyoming. The company has initiated a combined airborne high-resolution versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEM) and magnetics survey to acquire high-resolution data to aid in identifying secondary structures, conductive and magnetic anomalies, and refine drill targets across the South Pass gold camp.

All VTEM data collection is expected to conclude at both South Pass and Bradley Peak in Q4 2025. The company has also completed systematic geological mapping, rock chip sampling and soil sampling campaigns in South Pass aimed at continuing to define exploration targets for 2026 drill planning. Assays for these are pending.

“These initiatives are designed to unlock the full potential of the high-grade and grossly underexplored South Pass gold district,” said Rob Bergmann, CEO. “Results from our sampling and drilling programs to date have confirmed high-grade, gold-bearing structures surrounded by broad, shallow zones of lower-grade mineralization. We expect the upcoming surface sampling to highlight additional gold zones, and the planned geophysical work will help us see deeper into known structures and define new targets for our 2026 drilling program.”

South Pass exploration update: Gold mineralization at South Pass is strongly correlated with sulfide-bearing shear structures (arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite-pyrite) and quartz veins hosted within the Miners Delight formation. The 2025 exploration program utilized a combination of airborne VTEM magnetics, geologic mapping and geochemistry sampling programs to identify new gold zones and provide needed infilling along known mineralized structures.

Airborne geophysics: The VTEM survey is a 2,807-line-km survey using 75-metre line spacing, designed to cover the majority of the South Pass camp. This will provide high-resolution conductivity and magnetic data sets, helping to identify concealed structures and anomalies, significantly enhancing drill planning and target ranking.

This survey is being flown by Geotech Ltd. in conjunction with the previously announced survey program at Bradley Peak which received US$226,533 in matching grant funds from the Wyoming Energy Matching Funds (EMF) program.

Geologic mapping, combined with rock chip sampling was undertaken in the southern Lewiston subproject area to characterize areas with limited data and follow-up on surface features intersected in 2024 drilling at Burr. A total of 446 rock chip samples were collected and submitted to MSA Labs in Elko, Nevada, for gold and pathfinder element analysis. Results will be reported when received.

Windy Flats soil sampling: A total of 1,400 soil samples were collected along eight survey lines totalling approximately 32 line-km to help identify anomalies that could reflect concealed mineralized shear structures. Samples were spaced at 25 metres intervals on north-south-oriented lines spaced every 300 metres. Samples are being analyzed with a portable Niton XL5 X-ray fluorescence detector for pathfinder elements including: As (arsenic), Cu (copper) and Zn (zinc).

Next steps: Airborne VTEM survey flights are expected to be completed in Q4 2025. Initial results and interpretations are anticipated in Q1 2026; geochemical sampling and mapping results and assays are expected in Q4 2025 and data analysis, interpretations and target analysis expected in Q1 2026.

Relevant Gold is focused on the acquisition, exploration, discovery and development of district-scale gold projects in the state of Wyoming, one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in the United States and globally.
