About Romios Gold Resources Inc.

Romios Gold Resources is a TSX Venture Exchange-listed mineral exploration company focused primarily on gold, copper and silver. The company has crafted an ambitious business plan to advance Romios in the second half of 2025 and into 2026, primarily by refocusing its efforts on achieving discoveries through the drill bit. The company holds several wholly owned porphyry copper-gold prospects in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, the most significant of which is the Trek South prospect, upon which a range of geosciences applied to it in the period since 2022, including mapping, sampling, magnetic, IP (induced polarization) and MT (magnetotelluric) geophysical surveys, have delivered high-order, complementary results that all vector to the same conclusion: that the target area offers high discovery potential and is among the best undrilled porphyry prospects in the province. A drill permit is in place and an updated NI 43-101 report with a plan and a budget is under preparation. Trek South is located adjacent to Teck-Newmont's Galore Creek deposits, presently undergoing prefeasibility studies, and is bisected by the road right-of-way thereto. First-ever drilling of Trek South is planned for the 2026 field season.

Additional wholly owned interests include two former producers in Nevada: the Kinkaid claims in the Walker Lane trend covering numerous shallow gold-silver-copper workings over what is believed to be one or more porphyry centres (source: J. Biczok, PGeo, June, 2025, Kinkaid gold-copper-silver project, Romios website), and the Scossa mine property in the Sleeper trend, which is a former high-grade gold producer (source: J. Biczok, PGeo, July, 2025, Scossa historic gold mine property, Romios website). The company also holds a 100-per-cent interest in the large-scale Lundmark-Akow Lake gold-copper property adjacent to the northwest of the Musselwhite mine, where drilling by the company has produced highly encouraging, broad VMS-style (volcanogenic massive sulphide) gold-copper intersections. Romios also retains a continuing interest in several properties, including a 2-per-cent net smelter return (NSR) royalty on McEwen Mining's Hislop gold property in Ontario and a 2-per-cent NSR royalty on Enduro Metals' Newmont Lake gold-copper-silver property in British Columbia.
