RELEVANT GOLD COMPLETES DRILLING AT APEX, CONFIRMS OROGENIC GOLD MODEL

Relevant Gold Corp. has safely and successfully completed its 2025 diamond drill program at the Apex target, located within the company's 100-per-cent-owned Bradley Peak gold camp in the Seminoe Mountains of central Wyoming. The drill campaign was the first ever on the property, and was designed as a localized test of the Apex target's structural and geochemical characteristics, and to enable vectoring toward high-grade zones along the entire mineralized corridor in 2026. The 2025 Apex drilling program consisted of 12 oriented diamond drill holes totalling 5,102 metres (m), spaced along 600 m of strike and 400 m vertical depth. Assays are pending and will be reported when complete for all 12 holes.

Initial visual observations of drill core confirm that the targeted orogenic shear-vein system was intersected where the company's 3-D structural and geophysical models predicted. The Apex shear is emerging as a composite 70 to 150 m wide zone encompassing multiple subshears, many of which are intruded by lamprophyre and intermediate dikes. Pervasive hydrothermal alteration, laced by quartz veins and sulphides extends along the shears to vertical depths of 400 m within the 600 m drilled length of its 2.5-kilometre (km) surface trace.

"These first-ever drill holes cut a highly altered shear zone with scale right where we predicted and confirm that we're seeing all the hallmarks of a productive Abitibi-style orogenic gold system. This is strong validation of our geological model," said Relevant Gold chief executive officer Rob Bergmann. "We are eagerly awaiting assay results to guide a much more intensive drilling campaign next season -- including testing the new shears our team recognized running parallel to Apex."

Highlights:

• Program completed safely and on time;
• Drilling confirmed continuity of surface-mapped structures to depth;
• The Apex deformation zone is 70 to 150 m wide and manifests as hydrothermally altered metabasalts and metagabbro;
• The Apex deformation zone consists of multiple subparallel shear zones, many of which were intruded by quartz-feldspar porphyry and mafic dikes;
• Extensive hydrothermal alteration, including quartz-sericite-pyrite, chlorite, fuchsite and albitization, surrounds the deformation zone;
• Multiple generations of veining and alteration are best developed within a ductile-brittle deformation envelope lying along the hangingwall of the shear zone;
• All 12 drill holes intersected a distinctive, pervasively altered and sheared tremolite-chlorite-quartz plus or minus fuchsite schist at the hangingwall along the north side contact;
• More ultramafic and mafic units were seen in drill core than in surface mapping. These include: komatiitic and tholeiitic basalts and peridotite;
• The entire area is cut by quartz-feldspar porphyry, granodiorite, tonalite and late lamprophyre dikes;
• Surface geologic mapping has identified a new 100 m wide shear zone (Bpex) with strong quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration and quartz veining running parallel to Apex;
• Mapping also outlined a 50 m by 100 m sigmoidal shaped tonalite intrusive plug with complex oxidized quartz veining between Apex and Bpex.

About the Apex target and Bradley Peak gold camp

The Bradley Peak gold camp (central Wyoming) comprises a more-than-10,000-acre Archean greenstone terrane hosting multiple subparallel shear zones with strong structural and geochemical affinities to Abitibi-type orogenic systems. The principal Apex target is a more-than-2.5-kilometre east-northeast-trending shear corridor localized along a more-than-100-square-kilometre regional fold hinge in the Bradley Peak structural corridor. Wallrocks are dominantly ultramafic and mafic volcanic and intrusive units, all of which are cut by late felsic dikes. Surface mapping and sampling delineate pervasive quartz-carbonate-sericite alteration with arsenopyrite-pyrite mineralization and elevated Au-As-Cu-Bi-Sb (gold-arsenic-copper-bismuth-antimony) signatures. Relevant Gold 2024 rock chip assays at Apex reach 46.8 grams per tonne (g/t) Au and 2.4 per cent Cu (news release -- Aug. 13, 2024). The mineralization is associated with Fe (iron) carbonate replacement, sulphidation of mafic host rocks and late crack-seal quartz veining, consistent with gold deposition near the brittle-ductile transition in an Archean orogenic setting (Tardif et al., 2022).
