Relevant Gold Corp. announced it has commenced diamond core drilling at its 5,665 hectare Lewiston Project in the South Pass Gold Field, central Wyoming, USA. The Company plans to drill a total of 1,500 metres (m) as a phase 1 drilling program at the Heavy Hand target.

Previous Relevant Gold rock chip sampling at Heavy Hand has returned surface assays up to 62.4 g/t gold out of a 500m wide zone of near vertical sub-parallel shears. This first-ever drilling program at Lewiston is designed to test the: Alteration and mineralization profiles between sub-parallel shear zones; Depth to sulfide mineralization below the oxidized zone; Structural architecture of shears; and Occurrence of shear-parallel and cross-cutting extensional quartz-sulfide veining. Multiple shear zone orientations and brecciated fold hinges were identified in the Lewiston Project and demonstrated spatial associations with alteration and mineralization.

Mapping within the project area outlined a regional scale anastomosing shear system with at least two distinct shear orientations: A dominant system of NE-striking shear zones cross-cut the entire project area, demonstrating chlorite alteration. A later or coeval, widespread set of E-W striking shear zones and altered fracture zones hosting silica-epidote-sulfide alteration. The Heavy Hand target is a previously undrilled target lying along a 2-kilometer long, 500-meter-wide corridor located by multiple mineralized shear zones.

Numerous rock-chip samples in this area have returned high-grade gold assays (ranging from below detection limit to 62.4 g/T gold) from the surface. This initial drill program is designed as a proof-of-concept program to test: A) alteration and mineralization profiles between sub the sub-parallel shear zone; depth to sulfide mineralization below The oxidized zone; structural architecture of shears; and D) occurrence of shear-parallel. The planned 1,500-metre core drilling program this year is a phase 1 test of the Heavy Hand target within the northern Lewiston project area.

These northern targets at Lewiston are permitted for a phase 2 follow up based on the learnings from these initial geology holes. Additional project highlights include: >10 km mineralized shear zone trend that includes a number of historic high-grade mines: Hidden Hand, Burr, Goodhope, and Lone Pine mines. Rock chip samples collected within the project area returned assay values ranging from detection limit to 62 g/t Au, including 13 samples >1 g/t Au (6.4% of sample suite) and 29 samples >0.25 g/t Au (14.3% of sample suite).

Historic reported samples include 1,690 oz/ton Au; Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tungsten (W) and Copper (Cu) enriched shear zones that historically have reported significant high-grade bonanza style gold within the shear structures and associated veining. Relevant Gold has two permitted drill targets at Lewiston with a third permit pending.
