“Completion of this PFS marks a significant de-risking milestone for Revival Gold”, said Hugh Agro, President & CEO. “Beartrack-Arnett presents a unique opportunity for meaningful US gold production from a low-risk, low capital restart of an established domestic mine site. The project features robust economics including an attractive 24% after-tax IRR at $1,800 gold which increases to 30% at current prices”, added Agro.

“Beyond the first phase of open pit heap leach production addressed in the PFS, potential exists for Revival Gold to pursue a second phase of underground and open pit mill operations. The more than doubling in Measured & Indicated open pit heap leach resources and near tripling of underground Inferred resources reflected in today’s update speaks to the impressive ongoing exploration and development potential at Beartrack-Arnett. With completion of the PFS, Revival Gold is now positioned to progress environmental and permitting preparations, fine tune engineering and design plans and advance the proposed Beartrack-Arnett project schedule. Meanwhile, exploration continues with drilling having resumed this month”, said Agro.

The Mineral Resource estimate, Mineral Reserve estimate, and PFS were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) by Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (“KCA”), Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. (“IMC”), KC Harvey Environmental (“KC Harvey”) and WSP USA Environmental & Infrastructure Inc. (“WSP”), collectively the “Study Authors”, with an effective date of June 30th, 2023. The Company will file a technical report summarizing the PFS on www.revival-gold.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com in accordance with NI 43-101 within 45 days.

Further Details

Mineral Resource Estimate

The Mineral Resource estimate has been reported in accordance with NI 43-101 and was prepared by IMC with an effective date of June 30th, 2023. Table 1 provides the pit-constrained and underground Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project Mineral Resource estimate, which includes oxide, transition, and sulphide material.

Table 2 summarizes the Mineral Resource definition parameters used to develop the Mineral Resource estimate. The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources were estimated at a gold price of $1,900 per ounce.

Table 3 illustrates the sensitivity of the total Mineral Resource to changes in gold price from $1,800 per ounce up to $2,000 per ounce.

Inferred Mineral Resources include 6.7 million tonnes of underground material at 4.0 g/T gold containing 877,000 ounces of gold. The increase in underground Inferred Mineral Resources since 2022 is, in part, derived from a more focused approach to mining and the elimination of an open pit in the Joss Target areas. The pit elimination would reduce the environmental footprint of the potential mill phase and accelerate the expected permitting and development timelines for the potential mill production phase to commence.

Underground mining is assumed to utilize an overhand cut and fill approach on a “stand-alone” basis with a cut-off grade of 2.37 g/T gold. The underground Mineral Resource occurs in both the South Pit and Joss areas and vertically over an elevation of approximately 580 meters. The underground Inferred Mineral Resource dips at approximately 80-90 degrees and ranges in thickness from about 3 to 25 meters.

Table 4 summarizes the sensitivity of the Beartrack underground Mineral Resource to changes in cutoff gold grade. All underground scenarios in Table 4 are for Mineral Resources that sit below mill open pit Mineral Resource.

Figure 1 presents an overview of the Beartrack-Arnett Project area and the location of Mineral Resources on the property.

Mineral Reserve Estimate

The PFS and associated Mineral Reserve estimate was developed based on the open pit heap leach Measured and Indicated portion of the Beartrack and Haidee Mineral Resource estimates. The Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves for the Project were estimated at a gold price of $1,700 per ounce and are summarized in Table 5.

Open Pit Heap Leach PFS

The PFS was developed as an initial phase of open pit mining with approximately 36.2 million tonnes of heap leachable ore from the Beartrack and Haidee deposits at an average rate of 12,000 tonnes/day for a period of 8.1 years. The PFS mine fleet is conventional with loading accomplished by three 11 m3 front loaders matched to up to thirteen 90-tonne class haul trucks. Run-of mine ore from the open pits would be processed in a conventional, mobile crushing circuit to achieve a particle size of 100% passing 38 mm (1.5 inch). Crushed ore would be conveyor stacked onto heap leach pads and leached with a low concentration cyanide solution. The resulting pregnant leach solution would be processed in an existing, refurbished, adsorption-desorption-recovery (“ADR”) plant for the recovery of gold resulting in the production of a final doré product.

During the first five years of mine operations, ore would be mined from the Beartrack pits (North, South, and Mason-Dixon pits), then crushed, conveyor stacked, and leached on a dedicated leach pad at the Beartrack site. During the last three years of mine operations, mining would transition to the Haidee pit in the Arnett area. Prior to mining at Haidee, a two-way haul road between the Haidee and Beartrack sites would be constructed and a dedicated leach pad for the Haidee ore would also be constructed, adjacent to the Beartrack leach pad site.

LOM average metallurgical recovery for the Project is approximately 62% of contained gold and the estimated average annual gold production would be 65,300 ounces per year. Economics for the PFS are based on mining and processing the heap leach Mineral Resources only; mining and processing of mill Mineral Resources would be a separate second phase project.

Mine and Gold Production Schedule

The PFS mine plan was developed using conventional open pit hard rock mining methods. The mining operation was developed to deliver 4.38 million tonnes of leachable material to the primary crusher per year (nominally 12,000 tonnes per day). Table 6 provides the PFS mine schedule.

Infrastructure

Much of the infrastructure from the original Beartrack mining operation remains in serviceable condition. Wherever possible, refurbishment and reuse of the existing infrastructure is planned, including the following:

  • Site access and onsite roads;
  • Fencing and gates;
  • Fuel and water tanks;
  • Process solution, overflow (event), and other storm and treated water retention ponds and process solution channels;
  • Groundwater monitoring and stormwater management systems;
  • Water treatment plant;
  • Septic systems;
  • Core warehouse;
  • ADR plant / laboratory; and,
  • Power substation and overhead power distribution lines.

All other major infrastructure from the previous operations were removed as part of prior site reclamation efforts and would need to be replaced for future operations. The primary new infrastructure that would be required to support the PFS plan include:

  • Ore crushing and conveyor stacking systems;
  • Process solution distribution and collection systems;
  • Heap leach pads;
  • Additional process solution pond;
  • Haidee haul road;
  • Truck shop and warehouse; and,
  • Administration and office buildings.

Heap Leach Metallurgy and Ore Processing

The primary source of data that forms the basis of the PFS heap leach metallurgical recovery estimates include twelve 6-to-12-month duration column leach tests completed by SGS Mineral Services in Ontario, Canada, developed from nine bulk composites from Beartrack and Haidee drill core along with 36 corresponding coarse ore bottle roll tests. Production statistics from historical Beartrack operations were also used to supplement the SGS column leach testing results.

Crushing of run-of-mine ore would be accomplished by a two-stage mobile crushing circuit that includes a primary jaw crusher and two secondary cone crushers. Crushed ore would be stockpiled using a fixed stacker and reclaimed using belt feeders to a reclaim conveyor; pebble lime would be added to the reclaim conveyor for pH control. During the initial five years of operations, ore would be conveyed to the heap stacking system at the Beartrack leach pad. During the final three years of operation, the mobile crushing circuit and conveyor stacking system would be relocated on the Beartrack site to serve the Haidee dedicated leach pad.

Crushed ore would be stacked in 10-meter-high lifts and leached using a buried drip irrigation system. Gold bearing pregnant leach solution would drain by gravity to the existing pregnant solution pond where it would be pumped to the existing carbon adsorption circuit. Gold-cyanide compounds would be loaded onto activated carbon in the adsorption circuit; the resulting barren solution would flow by gravity to the barren solution tanks then pumped to the heap for additional leaching. High strength cyanide solution would be injected into the barren solution to maintain the desired cyanide concentration in the leach solutions.

Gold would be stripped from the loaded carbon using a modified pressure Zadra process and recovered by electrowinning. Cathodes from the electrowinning cells would be washed and the resulting precious metal sludge treated in a retort to recover mercury, followed by smelting to produce the final doré product. Carbon would be acid-washed to remove scale and other inorganic contaminants, and thermally regenerated using a rotary kiln.

The estimated average gold recovery from the heap leach pads based on the PFS mine and ore processing production schedule is estimated to be 62%. The estimated average recovery reflects recoveries of 78% for oxide material, 43% for transition material and 14% for sulphide material.

Capital and Operating Cost Estimates

Ore processing, infrastructure, and general and administrative (“G&A”) capital and operating cost estimates for the Beartrack-Arnett PFS were developed by KCA. Mining equipment, mining preproduction, and mine operating cost estimates were developed by IMC. Closure, water treatment, and permitting related cost estimates were developed by KC Harvey with input from KCA and IMC. Capital and operating costs were estimated based on first quarter 2023 US dollars.

Capital costs for all major and most minor equipment, as well as contractor quotes for major construction contracts, were estimated from one or more supplier quotes. Where project specific quotes were unavailable, estimates were developed from applicable recent analogue project quotes. Table 7 provides a summary of the PFS capital costs.

Ore processing and G&A costs were estimated by KCA from first principles. Labor costs were estimated using project specific staffing, salary, wage, and benefit requirements. Unit consumptions of materials, supplies, power, water and delivered supply costs were also estimated. The operating costs presented are based upon the ownership of all process production equipment and site facilities, including the onsite laboratory. Revival would employ and direct all process operations, maintenance, and support personnel for all site activities.

Mining costs provided by IMC are based on owner mining costs using leased mining equipment. Leases are based on a four-year term; consequently, all leased equipment would be owned by Revival before the end of mining operations.

Economic Analysis

Based on the estimated production schedule, capital costs and operating costs, a cash flow model was prepared by KCA for the economic analysis of the Project. All information used in this economic evaluation was derived from work completed by KCA, IMC and KC Harvey, with support by Revival.

The project economics were evaluated using a discounted cash flow method that measures the Net Present Value (“NPV”) of future cash flow streams. The PFS economic model was based on the following key assumptions:

  • A gold price of $1,800 per ounce.
  • The mine production schedule developed by IMC with a nominal mining and ore processing rate of 12,000 tonnes per day.
  • A period of analysis of 13 years that includes one year of investment and pre-production, 8.1 years of production, and 3.9 years for reclamation and closure.
  • Capital and operating costs as summarized in the preceding section.

The Project economics based on these criteria from the cash flow model are summarized in Table 8.

Figure 2 presents the annual and cumulative after-tax cash flow from pre-production through mine closure at $1,800 per ounce gold.

A sensitivity analysis was performed using the PFS economic model. Figure 3 and Figure 4 provide the after-tax IRR and after-tax NPV5% sensitivities to gold price, capital cost, and operating cost, respectively.

Key Opportunities & Risks

Key opportunities identified by the Study Authors for the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project include:

  • Mineralization at Haidee remains open in all directions providing the opportunity to expand the existing heap leach Mineral Resource, increase the mine life and mine throughput, and improve overall project economics.
  • Potential exists to identify near-surface, higher grade mineral resources on the Arnett Property, primarily in Roman’s Trench area.
  • Ore from Haidee does not appear to be sensitive to crush size in the range of crush sizes tested. Therefore, coarser crushing and run-of-mine leaching may be possible without appreciable changes in recovery.
  • Potential to increase the level of automation, electrification, and emerging mining and processing technologies, such as ore sorting, in all areas of the Project.
  • Potential to develop a second phase mill operation to process known mill Mineral Resources and numerous related exploration expansion opportunities (Joss, South Pit, Wards Gulch and elsewhere).

Key risks identified by the Study Authors for the Beartrack-Arnett first phase heap leach restart project include:

  • Risks associated with potential mine development include sensitivity to gold price and permit delays.
  • The project considers refurbishing and reusing much of the existing recovery plant and infrastructure. There is a risk that the refurbishment costs would exceed budgeted estimates.
  • The Beartrack site is serviced by an existing Idaho Power Co. 69 kV power transmission line with limited excess capacity and with power available on a first come, first served basis.
  • To account for the long leach tail observed during historical Beartrack operations, the metallurgical recovery calculated from column leach testing was increased by 2.3% of contained gold (approximately 11,000 ounces of gold in total) for Beartrack oxide and transition ores. Although the data supports this assumption, there is a risk that this added recovery may not be realized or may be delayed relative to the economic model assumptions.

Responsible Mine Development

The historical Beartrack Mine site was developed, operated, and continues to be managed in a responsible way. Revival Gold benefits from the Beartrack standard and plans to reinforce that legacy by developing the Project in a manner consistent with today’s more stringent best practice standards. Examples of this commitment from the PFS include:

  • Refurbishing and reusing the appreciable existing site infrastructure, including the ADR and water treatment plants, while introducing instrumentation and automation upgrades that improve efficiency, safety, and reliability;
  • Utilizing low carbon emissions grid hydro power;
  • Developing mine and site infrastructure plans that avoid new stream and riparian area disturbances and crossing, and, to the maximum possible extent, staying within existing historical project disturbance areas;
  • Developing reclamation and closure plans that adopt successful historical reclamation practices and improves-upon post-closure water management and treatment practices, including incorporating membrane cover systems into waste rock storage facility designs; and,
  • Prioritizing hiring locally, building an internal team, and contracting with external consultants, contractors and suppliers, that are Lemhi County and Idaho-based, and when those resources are unavailable, looking to neighboring States to bolster the project team.

Recommended Next Steps

The Study Authors have recommended additional work to increase the level of detail, improve the PFS economics, and de-risk aspects of the project. These recommendations include:

  • Additional heap leach metallurgical test work to verify recoveries and reagent requirements at Beartrack and assess the potential for run-of-mine leach at Haidee.
  • Additional hydrogeologic characterization to refine the current estimates on the site-wide water balance and pit lake modeling.
  • Additional environmental geochemistry characterization to support operational waste management planning and closure design.
  • The current environmental baseline study program should be maintained to prepare for permitting and NEPA review of the first phase heap leach restart project.
  • The development of a Plan of Operations in support of permitting the heap leach restart project.
  • A feasibility study should be completed on the heap leach restart project once supporting lab and field studies referenced above have been sufficiently advanced.
  • A scoping level economic assessment should be completed for mining and processing sulphide material in a potential second phase mill operation.
  • Ongoing exploration for open pit oxide mineralization at Arnett. The deposit at Haidee is open in all directions with several other promising untested near-surface oxide drill targets near the Haidee haul road and Beartrack ADR plant.
  • Further sulphide exploration on the open +5 km Beartrack trend and a scoping level assessment for processing sulphide material.

Estimated costs for select discretionary and core recommendations are provided in Table 9.

Revival Gold Reports On 2023 Exploration Campaign

Toronto, ON – June 12th, 2023 – Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF) (“Revival Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to report on the Company’s 2023 exploration campaign at the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project (“Beartrack-Arnett” or the “Project”) located in Lemhi County, Idaho, USA.

Over the course of the past six months Revival Gold has focused on the updated Mineral Resource and Preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”) which are expected to be completed on Beartrack-Arnett within the next 4-6 weeks. Meanwhile, the Company has progressed data compilation and analysis, as well as preparations for this season’s drill program and related exploration field work.

Highlights

  • Revival Gold’s Board of Directors has approved approximately 3,000 meters of core drilling to commence in early July for open pit heap leach oxide targets including:
    • Roman’s Trench – where reverse circulation drilling from 1990 intersected 1.95 g/t gold over 18 meters drilled width and 1.90 g/t gold over 21 meters drilled width1. To date, Revival Gold has not drilled at Roman’s Trench and the prospect offers the potential to add higher-grade mineralization to the Company’s first phase heap leach restart plans;
    • Haidee – to follow up on hole AC22-094D from last year’s drill program which intersected 5.42 g/t gold over 10.2 meters drilled width including 9.62 g/t gold over 5.4 meters drilled width2. The orientation of the higher-grade mineralization in hole AC22-094D is unknown however, if this zone extends beyond AC22-094D, it could add higher-grade material to the current Haidee Mineral Resource; and,
    • Additional soil and/or geophysical anomalies – in the Ridge area west of Haidee, up-dip and down-dip from the current Haidee Mineral Resource and at depth beneath at Haidee.
    • Notes: 1 See Revival Gold press release dated June 30th, 2017, 2 See Revival Gold press release dated January 30th, 2023.
  • Revival Gold’s geologists have refined and expanded the Company’s high-grade mineralization domains at Joss and extended the domains a distance of approximately two kilometers through the South Pit area. As underground mineralization at Beartrack-Arnett grows, consideration is being given to eliminating the current open pit model in the Joss area and incorporating those resources into an expanded underground model.
  • An extensive property-wide data compilation and review is underway. The compilation will reflect recent regional geological mapping by the Idaho Geologic Survey (“IGS”) which has interpreted the Panther Creek Fault to be a portion of the more regionally extensive Coiner Fault system;
  • Historical CSAMT geophysical data is being reprocessed, reinterpreted and combined with recent IGS mapping to refine untested structural targets;
  • Soil geochemical survey lines have been planned to test new under-cover target areas. Partial leach extraction will be used to identify the presence of leakage along key structures to focus future drilling for high-grade mineralization like that in the Joss area; and,
  • Consulting structural geologist, Dr. Brett Davis, a specialist in orogenic gold systems, has been retained and will be on site later this season to further assist in understanding both the geologic structure of the Beartrack-Arnett district and controls on high-grade mineralization.

“Revival Gold is well underway with this year’s multi-faceted exploration program. Enhancements to the underground resource model, planned drilling on existing high priority oxide targets, and new initiatives to identify undercover exploration targets, will provide the Company with multiple, and potentially significant, value catalysts through the balance of this year and into next”, said Hugh Agro, President & CEO.

Revival Gold Provides Update on Beartrack-Arnett Prefeasibility Study

Toronto, ON – February 27th, 2023 – Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF) (“Revival Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s first phase heap leach restart Prefeasibility Study (“PFS”) underway on the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project (“Beartrack-Arnett” or the “Project”) located in Lemhi County, Idaho, USA.

The PFS is being led by industry leaders Kappes Cassiday & Associates (“KCA”) and Independent Mining Consultants Inc. (“IMC”). The PFS remains on track for completion by mid-2023. Key developments are as follows:

  • IMC has developed draft updated heap leach mineral resource models and mine plans for both the main deposit (Beartrack) and the satellite deposit (Haidee) at Beartrack-Arnett that incorporate 2022 drilling results. These items are under review; however, the draft leach resource models and mine plans are in-line with Revival Gold’s objective to see average production in the PFS at 65,000 to 70,000 ounces gold per year over a 7 to 9 year mine life;
  • Mill resource models that include the high-grade Joss area will be updated once the leach models are complete. Undated resource models for both heap leach and mill material will be incorporated into a new Mineral Resource estimate for Beartrack-Arnett, which will be released with the PFS;
  • KCA and IMC have completed trade-off studies to optimize heap leach mine sequencing, waste rock management, cell layouts and sequencing, haul road alignments, and crusher locations. These studies were key to moving forward with earthworks calculations, water balance modeling, bid package preparation, and drawing package development;
  • PFS drawing packages are progressing on schedule and include process flowsheets (100% complete), piping & instrumentation diagrams (100% complete), general arrangement drawings (75% complete), overall site layout drawings (65% complete), electrical drawings (15% complete), and leach pad details & stacking plans (10% complete);
  • Idaho Power Company (“IPCo”) has completed a power study to assess upgrades required to the existing 69 kV service to site to support the PFS. The IPCo upgrades include substation and other electrical system infrastructure improvements to increase the reliability and availability of power to the Project;
  • An assessment of existing site facilities and infrastructure has been completed and all required plant and mobile equipment requirements have been determined. KCA has developed eleven bid packages in support of cost estimating for the PFS, and quotes are actively being received, reviewed, and incorporated into a draft PFS financial model;
  • Process and sitewide water balance models have been developed and are being updated iteratively with the overall PFS designs. Meteorological modeling was completed in early 2023 to support the PFS water balance models; and,
  • Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure geochemical testing on representative Haidee waste rock samples was completed in February 2023. These results will be compared with Acid Base Accounting testing completed in 2022 to develop predictions for operational and post-operational geochemical behavior of Haidee waste rock in support of the PFS closure plan.

“We are encouraged by the progress KCA and IMC are making on the PFS for the first phase re-start of gold production at Beartrack-Arnett. Under the direction of Revival Gold’s VP, Engineering & Development, John Meyer, the PFS and updated Mineral Resource estimate remains on track for delivery by mid-2023. Meanwhile, Revival Gold’s exploration team, led by VP, Exploration, Steve Priesmeyer, is continuing to advance preparations for this summer’s field season. Key target areas for 2023 in support of Revival Gold’s first phase re-start plans include open pit oxide resource expansion opportunities at Haidee and other new open pit oxide targets across the western side of Beartrack-Arnett,” said Hugh Agro, President and CEO.

Revival Gold Intersects 1.5 g/t Gold Over 15.8 Meters and 1.07 g/t Gold Over 18.0 Meters in Near-Surface Oxides at Haidee

Toronto, ON – January 30th, 2023 Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF) (“Revival Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce results from the final six of eighteen core holes drilled in the Haidee deposit area during the Company’s 2022 exploration program at the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project (“Beartrack-Arnett”) located in Idaho, USA. Each of the six holes released today intersected above cut-off grade, near-surface oxidized gold mineralization.

Highlights

  • 1.51 g/t gold over 15.8 meters1 in AC22-086D
  • 1.07 g/t gold over 18.0 meters1 and 0.45 g/t gold over 13.2 meters1 in AC22-089D
  • 0.70 g/t gold over 27.1 meters1 in AC22-099D
  • 0.42 g/t gold over 19.9 meters1 in AC22-093D1 True width is estimated to be greater than 70% of drilled width.

The 2022 drilling program at Haidee was designed to upgrade and expand the deposit’s current heap leachable Inferred Mineral Resource. A total of 18 holes were completed for approximately 2,900 meters. Results released today from the final six holes of the 2022 drilling program include a couple of high-grade gold intercepts at a tenor not typically encountered in oxidized mineralization at Haidee. These results point to the possibility for continued expansion of the deposit to the south-west in potentially higher-grade material with a lower strip ratio.

“We’ve wrapped up the 2022 Haidee infill and expansion drill program with gold mineralization intersected directly from surface and intriguing high-grade results in the south-west quadrant of the deposit”, said Hugh Agro, President and CEO. “These results bode well for the updated Mineral Resource for Haidee and the successful completion of this year’s Pre-Feasibility Study on the first phase re-start of heap leach operations at Beartrack-Arnett. The gold deposit at Haidee benefits from very favourable metallurgical recoveries, the presence of little or no deleterious elements, a shallow depth of mineralization and advantageous topography. Any future enhancement to grade at Haidee will therefore have a compounding impact on potential economics”.

QA/QC Program

Quality Assurance/Quality Control consists of the regular insertion of certified reference materials, duplicate samples, and blanks into the sample stream. Check samples are submitted to an umpire laboratory at the end of the drilling program. Sample results are analyzed immediately upon receipt and all discrepancies are investigated. Samples are submitted to the ALS Geochemistry sample preparation facility in Twin Falls, Idaho. Gold analyses are performed at the ALS Geochemistry laboratory in Reno, Nevada or Vancouver, British Columbia, and multi-element geochemical analyses are completed at the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia. ALS Minerals is an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab.

Gold assays are determined on samples consisting of half drill core by fire assay and AAS on a 30-gram nominal sample weight (Au-AA23) for Beartrack, and Fire Assay and AAS on a 50-gram nominal sample weight (Au-AA24) for Arnett. For shallow holes, targeting leachable mineralization, gold content is also determined by cyanide leach with an AAS finish on a nominal 30-gram sample weight (Au-AA13). Multi element geochemical analyses are completed on selected drill holes using the ME-MS 61M method.
