Strategic staking secures prospective ground identified through surface exploration
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / October 28, 2026 / Relevant Gold Corp. (TSXV:RGC)(OTCQB:RGCCF) (the "Company" or "Relevant Gold") is pleased to announce that, following previously reported 2025 mapping and surface sampling coincident with airborne geophysics, it has staked 294 additional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 5,800 acres at its Lewiston Project in Fremont County, Wyoming. The expansion increases the Company's Lewiston land position to approximately 20,000 acres and secures prospective ground along an interpreted 2.5 km extension of the Burr trend (see Jan. 23, 2026 news release) and additional targets along adjacent structural corridors identified through the Company's ongoing exploration programs.
Highlights of the Lewiston Expansion
- Approximately 5,800 acres added through strategic, low-cost staking, increasing the Lewiston land position to approximately 20,000 acres.
- Burr trend extended: Geological mapping and 2025 surface sampling extended the interpreted mineralized trend by more than 2.5 km southwest of 2024 drilling.
- Expanded mineralized footprint: The 2025 program identified multiple parallel mineralized shear zones, including new or expanded mineralized areas at Burr, Sweetwater, Lone Pine, Lame Jack and Wilson Barr, highlighting exploration potential beyond the principal Burr structure.
- High-grade surface results: Previously reported rock-chip and grab samples returned individual peak values of 25.4 g/t gold, 2,203 g/t silver and 12.7% copper.
"Expanding Lewiston by 5,800 acres reflects our growing confidence in the scale of the gold system we are exploring," said Rob Bergmann, CEO of Relevant Gold. "Our initial drilling established gold mineralization at Burr and subsequent surface exploration revealed a network of prospective structures substantially larger than initially believed. We are only beginning to understand the broader potential of Lewiston, and securing this additional ground protects the opportunity."
Exploration Results Drive Strategic Expansion
Relevant Gold's 2024 drilling intersected shear-hosted gold mineralization in all six holes completed at Burr, including 2.2 g/t Au over 1.5 m within a broader interval of 1.4 g/t Au over 2.4 m (core lengths) (see Dec. 18, 2024 news release). Follow-up mapping and surface sampling in 2025 expanded the interpreted mineralized footprint, with 84 of 446 rock-chip and grab samples returning =0.1 g/t Au, including 34 samples grading =1.0 g/t Au. Previously reported results included highlighted values of 25.4 g/t gold, 2,203 g/t silver, 12.7% copper and 4.3% lead.
Together, these results support the Company's interpretation of a potentially extensive, structurally controlled gold system comprising multiple mineralized corridors. The expanded land position strengthens Relevant Gold's presence within the historic Lewiston Mining District and provides additional opportunities to investigate the broader district-scale potential surrounding the Lewiston Project.
The interpreted extensions and parallel structures have been identified principally through surface exploration. The continuity, geometry and grade of mineralization along these trends will be determined by drilling next season.
