Toronto, ON – November 3rd, 2021 – Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF) (“Revival Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce results from the first eight infill drill holes completed in the Haidee target area in connection with the Company’s 2021 exploration program at the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project (“Beartrack-Arnett”) located in Idaho, USA.

Each of the eight holes reported below encountered above cut-off grade, near-surface oxidized gold mineralization. Highlights include:

  • 1.15 g/t gold over 13.7 meters in AC21-078D
  • 0.42 g/t gold over 29.9 meters in AC21-074D
  • 0.77 g/t gold over 13.0 meters in AC21-073D
  • 0.43 g/t gold over 23.2 meters in AC21-072D
  • 0.47 g/t gold over 18.9 meters in AC21-071D

    1 True width is estimated to be greater than 70% of drilled width.

The 2021 drilling program at Haidee was designed to upgrade and expand the deposit’s current Inferred heap leachable mineral resources. In addition, the program included drill holes to obtain engineering data for the planned late-2022 Pre-Feasibility Study. A total of 15 holes were completed with four holes drilled for geotechnical and hydrological purposes. Assay results for the remaining seven drill holes are expected by year end.

“Today’s initial infill drilling results have bolstered our confidence in the mineral resource at Haidee”, said Hugh Agro, Revival Gold, President & CEO. “AC21-073D ended in oxide mineralization averaging over one gram per tonne gold opening up the potential for additional resource expansion opportunities at depth beneath the shallow drilling to-date. The Haidee deposit remains open in all directions. Additional drill results are expected in December, and we look forward to reporting an updated resource estimate next quarter”, Agro added.

Detailed results for drill holes released today are presented in the table below:

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 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.

About Revival Gold Inc.

Revival Gold Inc. is a growth-focused gold exploration and development company. The Company is advancing the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project located in Idaho, USA.

Beartrack-Arnett is the largest past-producing gold mine in Idaho. A Preliminary Economic Assessment has been completed for a first phase restart of heap leach operations to produce 72,000 ounces of gold per year over an initial seven-year mine life at an AISC of $1,057 per ounce of gold. Meanwhile, exploration continues, focused on expanding the current Indicated Mineral Resource of 36.6 million tonnes at 1.15 g/t gold containing 1.36 million ounces of gold and Inferred Mineral Resource of 47.1 million tonnes at 1.08 g/t gold containing 1.64 million ounces of gold. The mineralized trend at Beartrack extends for over five kilometers and is open on strike and at depth. Mineralization at Arnett is open in all directions.
