Revival Gold Inc. has completed approximately 10,000 meters of infill reverse circulation drilling across 100 holes at the Mercur Gold Project in Utah, reporting standout intercepts including 1.82 grams per tonne gold over 29.0 meters width at 66 meters downhole in hole RM26-180.

The current campaign forms part of an expanded 18,000-meter program for the year, currently underway with three active drill rigs to upgrade Inferred Mineral Resources into the Measured and Indicated categories for a planned Preliminary Feasibility Study.

Results from 17 additional reverse circulation holes across South Mercur and Main Mercur also returned 1.32 g/t gold over 45.7 meters width at 17 meters downhole in RM26-193, 0.90 g/t gold over 54.9 meters width at 69 meters downhole in RM26-201, and 0.75 g/t gold over 44.2 meters width at 12 meters downhole in RM26-192. True widths for all holes are estimated to be 60-95% of drilled width.

Assay results from the remaining approximately 70 infill holes completed to date are expected over the next couple of months. The balance of the 2026 program is slated to incorporate about 2,500 meters of reverse circulation drilling, 1,200 meters of auger drilling for resource expansion, and 4,100 meters for geotechnical, hydrological, and metallurgical data collection.

The current footprint follows Revival Gold’s consolidation of the roughly 7,200-hectare Mercur ground package following the exercise of an option to acquire 100% of Barrick's interest, uniting areas previously held separately by past operators including Barrick and Homestake. That consolidation followed a 12,000-meter drill campaign completed across 115 holes during the previous year.

“Revival Gold's Mercur project team has made excellent progress with infill drilling this year. Gold grades, cyanide soluble to fire assay ratios, and encountered geology continue to support Revival Gold's expectations for the project coming out of last year's PEA,” said Hugh Agro, President & CEO. “Indeed, with an average hole depth of only 100 meters, and indications of open structures east and west and at depth across the deposit, the infill program has increased our enthusiasm for the company's future exploration drilling plans scheduled for later this year and into next,” added Agro.
