Beartrack

The Beartrack open pit heap leach mine was operated by Meridian Beartrack from 1994 until 2000 and produced approximately 600,000 ounces of gold. The mine achieved a life-of-mine recovery of 87% based on the cyanide-soluble grade from oxide material during heap leaching operations. Beartrack was closed at a time when the gold price was below US$300 per ounce.

In 2011 Meridian Beartrack completed an internal review and estimated a remaining resource of

26.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.51 g/t gold containing approximately 1,299,000 ounces of gold (the “Historical Resource Estimate”). The Historical Resource Estimate was unclassified and did not use the categories (“inferred”, “indicated” or “measured” mineral resource, or “probable” or “proven” mineral reserve) set out in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101 as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy an Petroleum (“CIM”). Although the Historic Resource Estimate is unclassified, based on the rigorous nature of the methodology employed in making the estimate, the resource estimate could be categorized as an historic inferred mineral resource.

The Historic Mineral Resource was estimated in a block model using exploration drill hole gold assay data and production blast hole drilling gold assay data to define gold grade shells. Polygons representing lithologies were generated using geologic contacts defined by exploration drilling and refined by pit geologic mapping. Fixed down-hole gold assay composites of 25 feet (7.6 meters) were created for the estimation of gold grade into model blocks measuring 25 feet (7.6 meters) by 25 feet by 25 feet. Composite variography was completed to define anisotropy parameters for block grade estimation within the lithologic polygons using ordinary kriging. The block model was constructed based on geological and operational experience gained mining oxide mineralization at Beartrack. A cut-off grade of 0.03 ounces per ton (1.03 grams gold per tonne) was used for the Historic Resource Estimate.

A Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to verify the Historic Resource Estimate. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the Historic Resource Estimate as current mineral resources and Revival Gold is not treating the Historic Resource Estimate as current mineral resources. The Historic Resource Estimate is global in nature and has not been classified in the CIM categories, as required by NI 43-101. Revival Gold has not undertaken any data verification of the historical data upon which the Historic Resource is based. The Historic Resource Estimate is the most recent resource estimate currently available regarding Beartrack. The Historic Resource Estimate is only relevant to obtain a reference to gold mineralization potential at Beartrack. The Project will require further evaluation (including confirmation drilling and metallurgical test work) to upgrade any material in the Historic Resource Estimate to NI 43- 101 Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves.

Earn-In Agreement

Under the terms of the Agreement, Revival may acquire a 100% interest in Meridian Beartrack, owner of the Beartrack Gold Project, over a four-year earn-in period by undertaking the following:

• Making a cash payment of US$250,000 and delivering 1 million shares of Revival on the Agreement becoming effective;
• Delivering a further 1 million shares of Revival at the end of each of the first, second and third year of the Agreement (total of an additional 3 million shares);
• Expending US$10 million in exploration over four years, US$2 million per year in each of the first and second year and US$3 million per year in each of the third and fourth year;
• Funding out-of-pocket costs associated with remediation of past operating activities in years three and four of the Agreement (estimated to be approximately US$850,000 each year);
• Completing a mineral resource estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and making a cash payment equal to the greater of US$6 per ounce of gold in mineral resource or US$15 per ounce of gold in mineral reserve based on the mineral reserve and mineral resource estimate at the end of year seven which includes all mineral resources or mineral reserves discovered and determined during the four-year earn in period and a three-year period post earn-in; and,
• Upon completion of the acquisition of Meridian Beartrack, Revival will also provide a 1% NSR and assume all future site remediation and closure obligations relating to the Project.

During the term of the Agreement, Meridian Beartrack, shall continue to be responsible for providing financial surety for bonding requirements in respect of past operating activities with Revival funding the applicable out-of-pocket costs of such surety in years three and four as indicated above.

During the term of the Agreement, Revival shall be permitted to use Beartrack site infrastructure including roads, power, drilling water and the exploration warehouse facility.

Financing

In connection with the Agreement, Revival has entered into a marketed financing agreement with PI Financial Corp. and Medalist Capital Ltd. to complete a brokered private placement of up to 12,000,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a price of C$0.60 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$7,200,000 (the “Brokered Financing”). Each Unit will consist of one common share (“Common Share”) and

one-half of one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share for C$0.90 for a period of two years. The lead agents will have an over-allotment option to increase the offering size by 1,800,000 Units.

In addition, Revival intends to complete a non-brokered private placement on the same terms as the Brokered Financing consisting of up to 4,000,000 Units at a price of C$0.60 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$2,400,000 (the “Non-Brokered Financing”). The Non-Brokered Financing is subject to an over-allotment option, allowing Revival to issue additional 600,000 Units.

The Brokered Financing and the Non-Brokered Financing are subject to regulatory approval.

Estimated net proceeds from the Brokered and Non-Brokered Financing of C$9 million will be used to fund approximately 11,000 meters of core drilling, geological analysis, metallurgical testing and project management over the next two field seasons at Beartrack.

Next Steps

Exploration permitting preparations are underway. Subject to regulatory approval, Revival expects the Agreement to become effective and the Private Placement to close by September 26th, 2017. Exploration at Beartrack will commence shortly thereafter.
