Relevant Gold Corp. (TSX-V: RGC | OTC: RGCFF) is a rising junior exploration company on a mission to unlock the untapped gold potential of Wyoming. Led by co-founders Rob Bergmann and Brian Lentz — experienced geologists with a track record of value creation — Relevant is applying a rigorous, technically driven approach to develop what it believes could be North America’s next great gold belt.
The Investment Thesis: Wyoming as the Abitibi’s Long-Lost Twin
At the heart of Relevant Gold’s strategy is a bold, evidence-based geological theory: that Wyoming is the overlooked western extension of Canada’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt. Extensive academic literature has established that during the key gold mineralization period 2.65 billion years ago, Wyoming and the Abitibi were connected as part of the same craton. It wasn’t until half a billion years later that tectonic rifting separated them — leaving behind identical rock types and structural signatures.
This insight led the Relevant Gold team to secure a dominant land position in Wyoming’s most promising greenstone belts. Today, the company controls over 45,000 acres across five district-scale projects and two major structural camps: South Pass and Bradley Peak.
High-Grade Discovery Potential Confirmed
Relevant Gold’s systematic exploration is already bearing fruit. At the flagship Golden Buffalo project, trench sampling revealed visible gold with assays up to 168 g/t, while initial drilling intercepted 83.8 g/t over 1 meter. At the Leon project, 10 of 11 drill holes intersected oxide, shear-hosted gold — confirming a large, mineralized orogenic system.
In total, the company has identified over 12 district-scale targets across 50 kilometers of Abitibi-style shear zones. Recent regional work uncovered three new high-grade targets at both the Shield Carissa and Bradley Peak projects, with standout results like 486 g/t silver over a 3-kilometer corridor.
Unique Corporate Strength: Visionary Team with Skin in the Game
Relevant Gold is built around human capital. Management and insiders remain the largest shareholders — not from cheap options, but from deep personal investment. Strategic investors include Newmont (9.9%) and Rob McEwen (6.4%), alongside support from ultra-high-net-worth individuals and a tightly held retail base, all within a modest 63 million shares outstanding.
The board and advisory team is stacked with industry veterans:
- Dr. Peter Megaw (MAG Silver co-founder), a long-time mentor to Bergmann and Lentz
- Sarah Weber, CEO of C3 Alliance, bringing ESG, permitting, and Indigenous relations expertise
- Ron Parratt, discoverer of over 20 million gold ounces in Nevada
- Dr. Dean Peterson, an Abitibi structural expert who led exploration for Newmont
- Dr. Tom Campbell, senior geologist for Homestake and Barrick, and co-author of the Encyclopedia of Minerals
- Dr. Kevin Chamberlain, University of Wyoming, whose work helped establish the Wyoming–Abitibi geological link
Together, this team provides the technical, strategic, and executional horsepower to bring a belt-scale gold vision to life.
Strategic and Operational Advantages
Wyoming offers more than just rocks — it offers logistics, permitting speed, and strong local support. As the least populated U.S. state, heavily reliant on natural resource development, Wyoming ranks just behind Nevada in mining-friendly regulation. Relevant has already secured long-term exploration permits and is actively advancing multiple projects with minimal bureaucratic friction.
In 2023, the company completed a multi-pronged exploration campaign that:
- Identified six new district-scale targets
- Extended the Golden Buffalo shear zone via a large-scale arsenic soil anomaly
- Delivered 10 of 11 successful drill holes at Leon
- Completed a $2.5M regional airborne geophysics program — funded at no cost via the Wyoming Geological Survey and USGS
Additionally, Relevant renegotiated its Golden Buffalo option agreement, acquiring the asset outright for 1.5 million shares and eliminating $16.2M in future calendar-driven payments.
Looking Ahead: High-Impact Programs in 2024
Relevant plans to follow up on strong results at Golden Buffalo and Leon with a ~1,500 meter drill program and deeper geophysical surveys. At Bradley Peak, the company aims to accelerate permitting and begin drill testing the newly identified high-grade gold-copper targets. Airborne magnetics have revealed fold hinge features — textbook traps for gold-bearing fluids — across a 120 km² anomaly that’s reminiscent of structural controls in world-class camps like Red Lake and Hemlo.
As CEO Rob Bergmann explains, “We’ve built a pipeline of district-scale targets, with grade, scale, and structural geology aligned. And we’re operating in a jurisdiction that lets us move quickly and efficiently.”
