Relevant Gold Extends Burr Trend by 2.5 km and Samples 25.4 g/t Gold, 2,203 g/t Silver, and 12.7% Copper at Lewiston

Relevant Gold Corp. (TSX-V: RGC) (OTCQB: RGCCF) is pleased to announce high-grade gold, silver, and copper results from its Fall 2025 exploration program at the Lewiston project, part of the >35,000-acre South Pass Gold Camp in central Wyoming. At Lewiston, rock-chip and grab samples along the expanded Burr trend and adjacent structures returned peak assays of 25.4 g/t gold, 2,203 g/t silver, 12.7% copper, and 4.3% lead within multiple shear-hosted and vein-hosted zones. In total, 84 of 446 samples (19%) returned ≥0.1 g/t gold and 34 samples (~8%) returned ≥1.0 g/t gold, confirming widespread precious and base-metal mineralization across several parallel shear corridors.  Systematic mapping, rock-chip, and grab sampling have:

  • Extended the primary Burr mineralized trend by more than 2.5 kilometres southwest of the 2024 Burr drilling, where 6 of 6 holes cut shear-hosted gold mineralization (see  press release);
  • Confirmed several parallel mineralized shear corridors in the southern Lewiston area; and
  • Discovered new high-grade gold–silver–copper zones at the Burr, Lame Jack, Sweetwater, Wilson Barr, and Lone Pine trends.

“Lewiston continues to validate our view that South Pass hosts a large-scale Archean orogenic gold system,” stated Rob Bergmann, CEO of Relevant Gold. “We have now extended the Burr trend by more than 2.5 kilometres, confirmed multiple parallel mineralized shears, and discovered new high-grade gold, silver, and copper zones along this expanded system. That combination of scale and grade significantly upgrades the Burr–Lewiston area as a priority target and underscores the broader potential of the South Pass Gold Camp.”


Exploration Highlights – Lewiston, South Pass Camp

  • Burr Trend Extension:
    Mapping and sampling extended the primary Burr mineralized trend by >2.5 km southwest of the 2024 Burr drill intercepts, confirming that mafic intrusive rocks and mineralized shear structures continue for more than 2.5 km southwest of the Burr drill area.
  • Multiple Parallel Mineralized Shears:
    Several parallel shear zones were identified adjacent to the primary Burr trend, defining a broader, multi-corridor mineralized district in the southern Lewiston area.
  • Lone Pine Target Expansion:
    Mineralized shears at Lone Pine have been extended by more than 1 km, filling a critical data gap between historic workings; highlight assays include 25.4 g/t Au, 16.78 g/t Au, with several samples pending additional overlimit analysis for both Ag and Cu.
  • New High-Grade Targets:
    Three new areas of interest – Lame Jack, Sweetwater and Wilson Barr – were defined, each hosting high-grade gold, silver and/or base-metal mineralization within distinct shear-zone trends.
  • Strong Silver and Base Metals:
    5 rock-chip samples report >100 g/t Ag, and several samples report >1% Cu and >1% Pb, supporting an extensive polymetallic system within the Lewiston shear corridor.

Lewiston – Burr Trend & Rock Sample Results

In October 2025, Relevant Gold completed geological mapping and systematic rock-chip and grab sampling across the southern Lewiston project area.  A total of 446 rock-chip and grab samples were collected and submitted to MSALabs for gold, silver, copper and multi-element pathfinder analysis.  Additional overlimit analyses are pending for 3 Ag and Cu samples and 1 Pb sample (see figure 3) and will be reported once the overlimit assays are received from the lab.  The mapping and sampling program was designed to:

  1. Characterize regions with limited historical data
  2. Follow up along-strike projections south from the 2024 Burr drilling, focusing on:
    1. Mafic intrusive unit adjacent to mineralization,
    2. Strong to intense shear foliation associated with hydrothermal Chlorite-Hematite-Biotite alteration, pyrite-arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite sulfide mineralization and Quartz-Carbonate veining.

 

Figure 2 (above) and Figure 3 (below) summarize the highlighted sample results as a total of the entire program sample set as well as each of the highest-grade sample results for both precious (Au, Ag) and base (Cu, Pb) metals.  The values highlighted in orange are the highest value results reported herein, while the values highlighted in yellow are overlimit samples pending additional analysis.

 

These results confirm widespread shear and vein-hosted gold, silver, and base-metal mineralization across multiple parallel shear corridors in the southern Lewiston area.  Peak gold assays include 25.4 g/t Au, 16.78 g/t Au, 13.1 g/t Au, 12.3 g/t Au and 10.3 g/t Au. High-grade silver (Ag) samples are highlighted by assays up to 2,203 g/t Ag and 603 g/t Ag; high-grade Copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) values include up to 12.7% Cu, and 6.4% Cu, and 4.3% Pb, accompanied by anomalous (>1,000 ppm) pathfinder elements (As-Bi-W-Zn).  All of these results indicate a larger hydrothermal system with orogenic-style mineralization concentrated within distinct structural shear corridors.  Gold mineralization supports potential for both low-grade bulk-tonnage and high-grade vein targets within the Lewiston corridor that manifests as:

  • Widespread low-grade oxide gold associated with shear-hosted mineralization, and
  • Discrete high-grade vein-hosted gold.

These results demonstrate that the Burr shear trend extends at least 2.5 km southwest of the 2024 drill area and continues to host high-grade gold, silver and copper at surface, significantly increasing the potential strike length and scale of the Lewiston mineralized corridor and its parallel shear zones. A schematic map (see Figure 1) illustrates assay results and the five distinct mineralized structural shear corridors within the southern portion of the Lewiston project area.


Next Steps at Lewiston – South Pass

In addition to the rock sampling and mapping work at Lewiston, Relevant Gold completed a camp-wide VTEM™ and magnetic survey as well as regional soil sampling at Windy Flats in 2025. Detailed interpretation of these datasets is underway and will be reported in a separate news release focused on camp-scale target definition and drilling as part of the Company’s 2026 Exploration Plan.

The Company will integrate 2025 exploration datasets into its 3D structural and geochemical models for the Lewiston corridor.  This will allow for detailed analysis and target assessments for 2026 next steps, including:

  • Prioritize down-plunge drill targets along the extended Burr trend and parallel shear zones;
  • Refine targeting at the Lame Jack, Sweetwater, Wilson Barr, and Lone Pine trends;
  • Rank follow-up drill holes to test for continuous high-grade panels within the broader mineralized shear corridors;
  • Expand systematic exploration across the South Pass camp to characterize areas with limited historical data and follow up on both VTEM™ and soil anomalies to test for mineralization and target potential.
