Relevant Gold Reveals 3.5 km2 Geochemical Soil Anomaly at Golden Buffalo

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2024 / Relevant Gold Corp. (TSXV:RGC)(OTCQB:RGCCF) (the "Company" or "Relevant Gold") announces results from the 2023 soil sampling and geological mapping program at the Company's 100% owned 3,884-hectare Golden Buffalo Project located in the South Pass Gold Field, Wyoming. The Company's 2023 soil survey has highlighted a 3.5 km² arsenic anomaly surrounding a newly mapped 2+ km western extension of the gold-rich Golden Buffalo Shear Zone (GBSZ). Arsenic is a very powerful pathfinder for targeting gold mineralization in Abitibi-style orogenic gold systems and its importance is rapidly emerging at Golden Buffalo (Figure 1).

The GBSZ is the primary host for high-grade gold discovered at Golden Buffalo, highlighted by Relevant Gold surface trench rock chip assays of 168 g/t Au, and drilling assays highlighted by 83.8 g/t Au over 1 metre (see Press Release - Feb 6, 2023). A 2021 pilot soil sampling program tested the known surface gold mineralization trenched at Golden Buffalo and confirmed a strong correlation between the shear structures, gold mineralization, and arsenic geochemistry throughout the central GBSZ (see Golden Buffalo 43-101 Technical Report). Subsequent work has shown that arsenic is directly correlated to gold mineralization throughout the Golden Buffalo area and the entire South Pass Gold Field, which adds important discovery potential for Relevant Gold.

"Adding over 2km to the Golden Buffalo trend and showing that it occupies the middle of a huge arsenic anomaly is a major step forward to show it's a first order gold mineralizing control while simultaneously strengthening the analogy to Canada's Abitibi Gold Belt," said Brian Lentz, Relevant Gold's Chief Exploration Officer. "We look forward to applying the same methodical approach that brought Golden Buffalo to over 5 km long to the multiple additional shear zones that lace our extensive Wyoming land portfolio, which we think holds the world's next new gold mega-district."

The 2023 soil sampling program was part of a larger regional program designed to cover approximately 80% of the 3,884-hectare Golden Buffalo project and test the Eastern and Western extensions of the fertile Golden Buffalo Shear Zone (see Press Release - Aug 3, 2023). The 2023 regional soil sampling program identified a significant 3.5 km² arsenic anomaly centered on a 2+ km western extension of the GBSZ. Additionally, several other shear structures hosting arsenic anomalies have been identified in the northwest corner and southern end of the Golden Buffalo property (Figure 1).
