Relevant Gold Corp. Announces New High‑Grade Results and Expanded Exploration at Lewiston and Apex
Relevant Gold Corp. (TSX‑V: RGC, OTCQB: RGCCF) reported a series of exploration successes in early 2026 that reinforce the company’s strategy of moving from discovery to production within the South Pass Gold Camp, Wyoming. The announcements, released on January 23 and January 21, 2026, highlight both the continued expansion of the Burr mineralized trend and significant assay results from drilling at the Apex site.
Lewiston – Extension of the Burr Trend and New High‑Grade Zones
During its Fall 2025 exploration program, the company conducted systematic rock‑chip and grab sampling along an expanded segment of the Burr trend and adjacent shear structures. The data confirm a substantial extension of the primary Burr mineralized zone—now over 2.5 km southwest of the 2024 drilling footprint—where all six holes previously intersected shear‑hosted gold mineralization.
The most striking assay figures came from the newly identified high‑grade zones:
| Assay | Gold | Silver | Copper | Lead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peak | 25.4 g/t | 2 203 g/t | 12.7 % | 4.3 % |
These results were obtained within multiple shear‑hosted and vein‑hosted zones, underscoring the richness of the South Pass system. In total, 19 % of the 446 samples returned ≥ 0.1 g/t gold, and 8 % returned ≥ 1.0 g/t gold, demonstrating widespread precious‑ and base‑metal mineralization across several parallel shear corridors.
Rob Bergmann, CEO of Relevant Gold, emphasized that the Lewiston results validate the company’s view that the South Pass area hosts a large‑scale Archean orogenic gold system. “We have now extended the Burr trend by more than 2.5 km, confirmed multiple parallel mineralized shears, and discovered new high‑grade gold‑silver‑copper zones along this trend,” Bergmann said. The new zones—located along the Burr, Lame Jack, Sweetwater, Wilson Barr, and Lone Pine trends—represent promising targets for future drilling.
Apex – Confirmation of a Gold‑Bearing Shear Zone
Earlier in the week, the company reported drilling at the Apex target, where a 1.35 m (4.41 ft) intercept yielded 0.42 g/t Au. While the assay is modest compared to Lewiston, it confirms the presence of a gold‑bearing shear zone that warrants further exploration. The company has indicated that additional drilling will focus on delineating the extent of this zone and assessing its economic potential.
Market Context and Company Profile
Relevant Gold is a junior exploration entity listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the OTCQB. Its primary focus is district‑scale gold mineralization in Wyoming, operating within the Abitibi‑Wawa gold mineralization framework. The company’s motto, “From Exploration to Production,” encapsulates its ambition to transform its discoveries into mineable resources.
As of the close on January 21, 2026, the stock traded at CAD 0.37 per share, with a market capitalization of roughly $44 million. The company’s 52‑week high reached CAD 0.47 on March 13, 2025, while the low was CAD 0.23 on February 10, 2025, illustrating the volatility typical of junior exploration firms.
Outlook
The combination of an expanded, high‑grade gold‑silver‑copper system at Lewiston and a confirmed gold‑bearing shear at Apex positions Relevant Gold to deepen its resource base through targeted drilling. Successful delineation of these targets could lead to the development of a viable mining operation, aligning with the company’s stated mission to progress from exploration to production.
Investors and industry observers will likely monitor the company’s next drilling results and any subsequent resource estimates that may be issued, as these will shape the assessment of the South Pass Gold Camp’s economic viability.
