REVIVAL GOLD INTERSECTS NEAR-SURFACE OXIDE GOLD IN AN ADDITIONAL ELEVEN DRILL HOLES AT BEARTRACK-ARNETT
Revival Gold Inc. has released results from an additional 11 drill holes from the company's 2020 drilling program on the past producing Beartrack-Arnett gold project located in Idaho.
The 11 holes released today are core holes drilled in the Haidee target area to upgrade resources from the inferred category to the indicated category (see technical report on the Beartrack-Arnett gold project, Lemhi county, Idaho, dated Feb. 21, 2020) and to expand the resource along strike and updip.

Drill holes AC20-062D and AC20-059D were drilled along the northeast margin of the existing mineral resource at Haidee. Both holes intersected long intervals of gold mineralization indicating that mineralization extends updip into the gold soil anomaly northeast of the current Haidee resource. The anomaly is largely untested and represents an attractive target for further exploration.
"We are very pleased to see additional broad intercepts of near-surface oxide gold mineralization in the Haidee area. The results offer potential to expand the open-pit heap leach mine plan outlined in the results of Revival Gold's first phase preliminary economic assessment released in November," said president and chief executive officer Hugh Agro.

Drill program
update
The 30 exploration and infill drill holes completed this season on the Haidee target totalled approximately 4,900 metres of drilling.
A further five holes have been completed between the North and South pit areas totalling approximately 1,660 metres. The holes in this area cover a strike length varying from 400 to 600 metres along the Panther Creek shear zone (PCSZ). Each of the holes intersected the PCSZ with varying amounts of oxidized and unoxidized sulphides in each hole.
An initial three exploration holes have been drilled in the Rabbit target area for a total of approximately 900 metres. Difficult drilling conditions limited the depth of drilling at Rabbit; however, the operating and geological information obtained in drilling these holes will be of use in planning next year's follow-up program.
This year's drill program will conclude shortly with the completion of two exploration drill holes in the Joss target area for a total of approximately 960 metres. Remaining assay results for the seven outstanding drill holes at Haidee and the nine outstanding drill holes at Beartrack are expected to be available in January and February, 2021.
Claim staking
Revival Gold staked an additional 47 claims on the northwestern boundary of the Beartrack-Arnett property this fall. The claims were staked around the periphery of the existing claim block to cover areas of alteration or conceptual targets developed during the company's 2020 mapping program. The new claims cover approximately 380 hectares, bringing the area covered by Revival Gold's total land position at Beartrack-Arnett to approximately 5,800 hectares.
Upcoming activities
With 2020 fieldwork coming to an end, Revival Gold has initiated a review of the data collected during this year's exploration program and the integration of these data into the Beartrack-Arnett geological model. In connection with these activities, the company has contracted Mira Geoscience Ltd., a geological consulting firm with expertise in three-dimensional computer modelling and artificial intelligence. Mira will take a holistic approach to data analysis, integrating all drilling data, including historical blast hole drilling from the Beartrack mine, and geological, geochemical and geophysical data to generate a three-dimensional model of the mineral systems at Beartrack-Arnett. The aim is to build on the company's understanding of mineralization controls at the deposit scale, the controls on higher grades within the deposits and to identify additional exploration targets beyond the known resource.
The company has also retained consulting structural geologist Brett Davis to investigate incidents of high-grade mineralization within the current mineral resource at Beartrack-Arnett, at depth and along strike within the PCSZ. Drilling in the PCSZ to date has intersected several instances of bonanza-style grades including 71 g/t gold over 9.8 metres (BT12-175D), 23.1 g/t gold over 3.3 metres (BT17-201D) and 20.1 g/t gold over 2.1 metres (BT18-221D). These results have received little follow-up to date.
