This indicated we were within the cupola area of this porphyry so we expected the body to be nearby.” “The very first time a drill hole was placed at the North Zone on Trek, we hit great breccia-hosted mineralization. “It was based on plain old hand drawn maps and geologic work,” says Scott Close, Principal Geologist for Romios Gold. Soon they had a diamond drilling program underway. They followed up with soil geochemistry, mapping and silt sampling programs on the Trek property in 2006. Exploring surface mineralization supported their enthusiasm when it appeared the rocks may be closely related to the porphyry copper-gold-silver deposits at the nearby Galore Creek Project. Romios Gold had begun intensively studying regional geologic maps which suggested the underlying rocks and mineralization between the two projects held serious promise and so in late 2004 began acquiring land positions there. And now thanks to a new deep imaging technique, Romios Gold Resources hopes to reveal even more in this rich paradise. NovaGold alone has reported resources of 7.4 million ounces of gold, 117.1 million ounces of silver and 8.5 billion pounds of copper. This region can now boast two of Canada’s most significant copper, gold and silver deposits: Barrick Gold’s Eskay Creek Mine and NovaGold/Teck Resources’ Galore Creek Project.
