Yahoo Finance Revival Gold Provides Update on Exploration and Development Program
TORONTO, June 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF) (“Revival Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide further details and an update on planned exploration and development activities on the Company’s gold development projects located in the western United States.
Highlights
Revival Gold has contracted Kappes Cassiday Associates (“KCA”) to serve as principal consulting engineering firm to prepare a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Company’s recently acquired Mercur Gold Project (“Mercur”) in Utah, USA. Completion of the Mercur PEA is targeted for the end of Q1 2025.
In support of a PEA, KCA has initiated five-column leach metallurgical tests on geologically representative drill core composites from Mercur. The objective of these tests is to support updated heap leach recovery estimates. Initial results are expected within the next two months.
A detailed review of Mercur historical data has been initiated. This includes scanning paper format drill data and reports, including metallurgical test results and production data. The objective of this effort is to make use of all available historical Mercur data to improve the current geological and geochemical model for the project.
With the start of spring, Revival Gold’s exploration team has resumed field work on the Company’s Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project in Idaho, USA (“Beartrack-Arnett”). The primary focus of this year’s work is on mapping and surface sampling in underexplored areas of the Company’s 5,800-hectare (14,300 acre) land position.
A forty-line-km gradient-induced polarization survey has been scheduled to map additional prospective structures within the Leesburg Basin in the Sharkey target area.
A forty-line-km ground magnetics survey has been scheduled to cover the Ridge Target designed to better understand the structural environment of favourable drill results from the 2023 drilling program.
The exploration team will move over to Mercur later this year to undertake a property-wide assessment, selective geochemical sampling and reconnaissance. Efforts will focus on the stratigraphic section at Mercur to evaluate the favourability of previously underexplored geologic units that host economic gold mineralization.
Revival Gold plans to initiate work next quarter on a draft Plan of Operations for Beartrack-Arnett. Meanwhile, work continues to re-evaluate the potential heap leach restart mine permitting schedule and baseline data collection steps for the project.
“We are well underway with metallurgical and engineering studies at Revival Gold’s recently acquired Mercur project and are pleased to have the Company’s exploration team now back in the field at Beartrack-Arnett,” said Hugh Agro, President & CEO. “Revival Gold is funded to deliver meaningful results over the next year from our portfolio of 100% pure gold development projects in the western United States. We look forward to sharing news as these results become available,” added Agro.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, the inability to maintain the modelling and assumptions upon which the interpretation of results are based after further testing, the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, changes in regulatory requirements, political and social risks, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, uncertainties or challenges related to mineral title in the Company’s projects, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity and in particular gold prices, delays in the development of projects, capital, operating and reclamation costs varying significantly from estimates, the continued availability of capital, accidents and labour disputes, and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry, an inability to raise additional funding, the manner the Company uses its cash or the proceeds of an offering of the Company’s securities, an inability to predict and counteract the effects of COVID-19 on the business of the Company, including but not limited to the effects of COVID-19 on the price of commodities, capital market conditions, restriction on labour and international travel and supply chains, future climatic conditions, the discovery of new, large, low-cost mineral deposits, the general level of global economic activity, disasters or environmental or climatic events which affect the infrastructure on which the project is dependent, and those risks set out in the Company’s public documents filed on SEDAR+.
