TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV:RVG)(OTCQX:RVLGF) ("Revival Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration drilling at the Company's Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project ("Beartrack-Arnett" or the "Project") located in Idaho, U.S.A.

Highlights

• Drilling contractor, Drilcor Ltd. ("Drilcor"), has completed 1,150 meters of core in four exploration holes to-date targeting:

  • A two-kilometer step-out on the Beartrack-Arnett property at the greenfield Sharkey target; and

  • Extensions of high-grade Joss mineralization, last drilled in 2022.

• Sharkey drilling encountered target stratigraphy in one of the three holes in the area. Geochemical assay results and analysis are pending.

• A second drilling rig has been contracted from Major Drilling ("Major") to accelerate the pace of drilling in the Joss target area.

"Revival Gold continues to pursue the resource growth and exploration potential at Beartrack-Arnett even while our Mercur gold project in Utah marches towards a potential construction decision in late 2027. This staged approach offers investors the prospect of potential near-term cash flow in a company with exciting growth potential - all in gold, all from two large gold systems, and all in the western United States," said Hugh Agro, President & CEO.

Mr. Agro continued, "We expect to accelerate progress at Beartrack-Arnett with Major Drilling returning to the project shortly, and we look forward to reporting on assay results as they become available."

Details

The Beartrack deposit within the Beartrack-Arnett gold project is a structurally controlled orogenic gold deposit running north-south on the Panther Creek Shear Zone ("PCSZ"). The multi-million-ounce resource at Beartrack is hosted in over five kilometers of strike on the PCSZ.

The Sharkey target is a two-kilometer step-out to the south to extend the PCSZ structure. The Sharkey target is a geophysics (resistivity) anomaly that may map the PSCZ structural corridor to the south of Joss under post-mineral cover. See Figure 1 for geology and target drill locations.

Results from the three holes completed at Sharkey, showed bedrock was deeper than indicated by the geophysics and historic RC drill hole logging. The target stratigraphy (Proterozoic metasediments) was intercepted in one hole and was highly fractured and contained small vein selvages with sericitic alteration typically seen adjacent to mineralization in other areas associated with the PCSZ. While no Joss-like mineralization was intercepted, Hole BT25-247D intercepted alteration (quartz, pyrite, arsenopyrite, sericite) and shearing near the bedrock-overburden contact.

Geochemical assay analysis is in process. The results will be used to refine Revival Gold's future exploration target drilling at Sharkey.

Drilling by Drilcor continues at Joss to the north targeting extension of the deposit. Major is expected to be on site with a second rig in early February.
