Romios Gold’s New CEO Kevin Keough Bets on Trek South as B.C.’s Next Big Copper-Gold Discovery

August 14, 2025 — The Golden Triangle of British Columbia has always attracted big mining dreams—but Kevin Keough says Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG) may hold one of the best undrilled copper-gold porphyry prospects left in the province. “We have, I think, probably the best new undrilled porphyry copper-gold prospect in the province at Trek South,” Keough told me. “That’s how good it is—or appears to be—at this point.”

Keough, who stepped in as CEO earlier this year while Stephen Burega remains as President, brings a sharp focus to a company with over two dozen projects scattered across some of the richest geological real estate in North America. “Our goal is to deliver real discoveries that could become mines from one or two of those assets in particular,” he said. “So, it’s going to be a very focused play and we’re doing everything we have to, to really reconfigure this company and get success soon.”

Trek South, the asset that drew him to the CEO role, sits in the middle of the Golden Triangle, bisected by the road right-of-way leading to Teck Resources Ltd. (TSX: TECK.A | TSX: TECK.B | NYSE: TECK) and Newmont Corporation’s (NYSE: NEM | TSX: NGT) Galore Creek project, now in prefeasibility. “We’re on the easy-access side of the hills,” Keough noted, contrasting it with Galore Creek’s more remote terrain. The location, he said, makes it “rich geological real estate” in a “proven place to be” where “all the major companies are actively looking.”

Keough’s strategy leans heavily on “success through the drill bit.” While some juniors choose to option out their best projects, he is blunt about his preference: “My preferred model is to focus on a tiny number of assets… that I believe can deliver a discovery of merit. And by that, I mean a discovery that could become a mine.” The plan is for Romios to do the work itself so that “any success would be reflected in our share price, not necessarily that of another company.”

The early days of his tenure have also been about cleaning house. Romios had carried a substantial debt load—now cleared—and in short order, the company raised $750,000 to fund its next six months of corporate reconfiguration. “The market knows that this company has had issues in the past, and yet we’ve been able to raise that money very easily,” Keough said. “So, onward and upward as far as I’m concerned.”

While Trek South dominates the company’s near-term plans, Romios is also advancing other assets, including the 100%-owned Kinkaid project in Nevada’s Walker Lane trend, where August results confirmed significant epithermal gold assays and broad porphyry-style alteration zones. “These vein workings, alteration zones, and thick, coarse garnet skarns… are believed to represent the tops of multiple porphyry Cu-Au-Ag centres,” Burega stated in the company’s latest release. Recent chip samples from Kinkaid returned up to 13.95 g/t Au, with copper grades between 0.71% and 1.7% Cu, bolstering the case for moving the property toward drill-ready status.

About Romios Gold Resources Inc.

Romios Gold Resources Inc. is a progressive Canadian mineral exploration company engaged in precious and base metal exploration, focused primarily on gold, copper and silver. As of mid-year 2025, the Company is refocusing its efforts on achieving discoveries through the drill bit on its properties, which are located in some of the richest geological real estate on the North American continent. Holdings include several wholly-owned porphyry copper-gold prospects in BC’s “Golden Triangle”, the most significant of which is the drill-ready Trek South prospect, considered by many to be among the top undrilled porphyry prospects in the province. Other highly promising porphyry Cu-Au-Ag prospects held by the Company in the general vicinity of Galore Creek include the JW and Red Line projects.

Additional wholly-owned interests include two former producers in Nevada: the Kinkaid claims in the Walker Lane Trend covering numerous shallow Au-Ag-Cu workings over what is believed to be one or more porphyry centres, and the Scossa mine property in the Sleeper Trend which is a former high-grade gold producer. The Company also hold a 100% interest in the large-scale Lundmark-Akow Lake Au-Cu property adjacent to the northwest of the Musselwhite Mine, where drilling by the Company has produced highly encouraging VMS-style Au-Cu intersections. Romios also retains an ongoing interest in several properties including a 2% NSR on McEwen Mining’s Hislop gold property in Ontario and a 2% NSR on Enduro Metals’ Newmont Lake Au-Cu-Ag property in BC.
