Relevant Gold Confirms Gold-Bearing Shear Zone at Apex

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / Relevant Gold Corp. (TSXV:RGC)(OTCQB:RGCCF) (the "Company" or "Relevant Gold") is pleased to report results from its 2025 diamond drill program at the Apex Shear Target, part of the 100%-owned Bradley Peak Gold Camp in the Seminoe Mountains, central Wyoming. The 5,102 metre (m) HQ diamond core drilling program, the first ever completed at Apex, has confirmed the presence of a large, fertile Archean orogenic gold system, such as those in the Canadian Abitibi Belt, characterized by:

• Consistent anomalous gold mineralization (>50 ppb Au) in all 12 drill holes,

A continuous 70-100 m wide gold‑bearing shear corridor hosted in favorable greenstone rocks,

Intense hydrothermal alteration, quartz‑carbonate veining, and sulfide mineralization, and

A strong multi‑element pathfinder geochemical signature typical of Abitibi‑style Archean gold systems.

Drilling tested approximately 600 m of strike within the >2.5 km Apex shear corridor using 12 widely spaced drillholes designed to constrain lithology, structure, and mineralization as defined by surface mapping, 3D structural modelling, geophysical magnetic surveys, and rock chip sampling. Importantly, drilling also confirmed the presence of a parallel mineralized shear zone ("BPEX") situated approximately 200 m northwest of the main Apex shear, adding scale and structural complexity to the system. While no individual intercept from this first‑pass program yet defines an ore shoot, every hole intersected gold‑bearing structures and multi‑element anomalies within a consistent shear corridor, confirming the orogenic gold potential of Apex and validating the Company's exploration model for the broader Bradley Peak Gold Camp.

Notable gold intervals include (represented as core length):

• 0.42 g/t Au over 1.35 m in hole 25AP‑009 from 382.45 m to 383.80 m (hole depth).

• 0.40 g/t Au over 0.91 m in hole 25AP‑006 from 62.70 m to 63.61 m.

• 0.23 g/t Au over 0.56 m in hole 25AP‑010 from 322.25 m to 322.81 m.

• 0.22 g/t Au and 0.19% Cu over 0.43 m in hole 25AP‑003 from 135.74 m to 136.17 m, adjacent to a >3 m quartz vein. This zone was cut where the strike and dip projection extends from the surface high-grade exposures, confirming a broad mineralizing shear corridor at Apex with the ability to carry high-grade gold (see Figures 1 and 2).
