Relevant Gold Corp. (TSX-V:RGC) (OTCQB:RGCCF) is pleased to announce the completion of a detailed geologic mapping and rock sampling program at Bradley Peak and report the first of two batches of results, highlighted by high-grade assays of 46.8 g/t Au and 2.44% Cu. This is the Company’s next systematic step in defining high-grade drilling targets at the Bradley Peak Gold Camp and initial observations provide evidence for a complex Abitibi-style greenstone belt with numerous district-scale targets illustrating high-grades and strong potential.
Relevant Gold’s 2023 reconnaissance program at its 100% owned Bradley Peak Gold Camp identified 3 district-scale target areas illustrating high-grade gold, silver and copper associated with multi-kilometre (km) shear zone structures (News Release – Nov. 7, 2023) coincident with a 100+ km2 geophysical anomaly (News Release – Mar. 25, 2024). This year’s work is focused on defining high-quality drilling targets to begin permitting for the 2025 drilling season.
The Company mobilized field crews in June and July to conduct a robust geologic mapping and rock sampling program at its 2,307-hectare (ha) (5,700 acre) Bradley Peak Gold Camp, located in the Seminoe Mountains, Wyoming, USA. Detailed geologic mapping identified numerous unmapped shear zones hosting complex quartz/carbonate vein arrays, some with visible gold and copper carbonate mineralization as well as several historic mine workings that are not identified on previous maps.
A total of 557 rock chip samples were collected as a part of this two-month mapping and sampling program. Batch one consisted of 356 total samples. Highlights of batch one assays can be found in Table 1 (below).
“The Bradley Peak Gold Camp continues to deliver fantastic results, and the scale of targets improves at every step,” said Relevant Gold CEO Rob Bergmann. “Building on the foundation laid by our 2023 successes, our 2024 work program will really start to unlock the potential at Bradley Peak and help us to outline high-priority drilling targets.”
Mapping work continues to confirm the Bradley Peak Gold Camp is a large complex assemblage of amphibolite facies and greenschist facies metamorphic rocks, including mafic and intermediary volcanics, mafic and ultramafic intrusive rocks, and iron formation metasedimentary rocks. Additionally, significantly sheared quartz-sericite-pyrite altered rock units and quartz-feldspar porphyritic intrusive rock units have been identified, many of which were not previously mapped. These new findings provide a distinct analogue to Abitibi style greenstone belt rock assemblages. The second batch of rock chip sample assays is expected soon, and a more detailed technical summary of findings will accompany them.
QAQC
Samples were submitted to the accredited MSALabs laboratory for preparation and analysis at their Val-d’Or, Quebec and Langley, B.C. facilities in Canada. Samples were prepared and analyzed for gold using PhotonAssay™ at the Val-d’Or location and multi-element geochemistry at the Langley, B.C. location. All samples were assayed for gold using the CPA-Au1 method with a >250g sample, and separately analyzed for multi-element ICP-MS geochemistry using method IMS-230 with a 4-acid digestion. Overlimit results for copper (>10,000ppm Cu) were further analyzed with the PER-7Cu method using a sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-AES analysis.
MSALabs employs an internal QA/QC to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment calibration. Additionally, Relevant Gold’s QA/QC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks in the sample batches to further monitor lab accuracy, precision and equipment calibration. All results and QA/QC have been reviewed by Mr. Brian Lentz, CPG, who is the Chief Exploration Officer and Qualified Person for the Company.
