Revival Gold
Inc. (TSXV: RVG,
OTCQX: RVLGF) (“Revival Gold” or
the “Company”), is pleased to report results from the final eight
core holes completed in connection with the Company’s 2023
exploration campaign at the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project
(“Beartrack-Arnett” or the “Project”) located in Idaho,
USA. Each of the eight holes released today was drilled
in the broader Haidee deposit area (see Figure 1 below) and
intersected above cut-off grades in near-surface oxide gold
mineralization.
Highlights
- 0.37 g/t
gold over 22.6 meters1 in hole AC23-109D
in near-surface oxide gold mineralization at the previously
untested Ridge target, located
approximately 1,000 meters northwest of the Haidee
deposit.
- 0.36 g/t
gold over 9.0 meters1 in hole AC23-118D
in near-surface oxide gold mineralization at another
previously untested target at Midlands, located
approximately 400 meters southeast of the Haidee
deposit.
- 0.49 g/t
gold over 24.3 meters2 and 1.41
g/t gold over 5.2 meters2 in AC23-119D
up-dip of the current Haidee deposit.
- 0.62 g/t
gold over 17.8 meters1 in AC23-113DA and
0.40 g/t gold over 12.6 meters1
and 0.31 g/t gold over 32.9
meters1 in AC23-107D down-dip on
the current Haidee deposit.
1 True width is estimated to be 50% to 70% of
drilled width. 2 True width is unknown.
Drill holes AC23-109D and AC23-118D include
significant intersections of oxide gold mineralization discovered
under areas of post-mineralization cover targeted based on the
results of a surface geochemical survey, geophysics, and mapping.
Hole AC23-109D is particularly intriguing as it was stopped short
of its intended target due to operational issues. Mineralization
occurs in a brecciated quartzite, thought to overlay the rocks that
host mineralization in the Haidee deposit area.
“Today’s results from Ridge and Midland,
together with those from up-dip and down-dip of the current Haidee
deposit, validate our enthusiasm for the broader Haidee area and
confirm the potential for continued growth in near-surface oxide
gold resources at Beartrack-Arnett”, said Hugh Agro, President
& CEO.
Revival Gold’s 2023 drilling at Beartrack-Arnett
consisted of eighteen core drill holes totaling 3,350 meters.
Twelve core holes were drilled in and around the Haidee deposit.
Six core holes were drilled in three new target areas (Roman’s
Trench, Midlands, and Ridge). Results for the first ten holes
(Roman’s Trench and Haidee) were released on September 27th, 2023,
and October 31st, 2023. Today’s release presents the remaining
drill holes at Haidee as well as those at Midlands and Ridge.

areas. Figure 3 provides a conceptual cross-section through
the Haidee-Ridge target area.

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.

position in 2017, Revival Gold has made one of the largest new
discoveries of gold in the United States in the past decade. 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.
