Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG | OTCQX: RVLGF) has reported wedge hole drilling results from the Joss target area at its Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project in Idaho, highlighting intercepts of 8.4 g/t gold over 6.2 metres and 8.5 g/t gold over 3.4 metres. The results reinforce the structural continuity of the gold-bearing Panther Creek Shear Zone, a key focus of the company's 2026 exploration program. Investors may be watching the release closely as Revival Gold advances geological modelling and engineering studies at the project, which hosts an underground sulphide Inferred Mineral Resource of 877,000 ounces of gold at the Joss area alone.

Key Points

  • Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG | OTCQX: RVLGF) reported wedge hole drilling results from the Joss target at its Beartrack-Arnett Project in Idaho
  • Wedge hole BT26-254DW returned 2.2 g/t gold over 49.5 metres, including 8.4 g/t gold over 6.2 metres; BT26-255DW returned 4.3 g/t gold over 21.6 metres, including 8.5 g/t gold over 3.4 metres
  • Joss has a known mineralised strike of approximately 1.2 kilometres and remains open along strike and at depth; metallurgical testing results and engineering cost estimates are expected in early 2027
  • Investors may monitor progress on updated geological models, underground mining engineering studies, and potential future resource estimate updates

Wedge Hole Results Confirm Structural Continuity at Joss

Wedge hole BT26-254DW, offset 12–22 metres from primary hole BT26-254D, intersected 2.2 g/t gold over 49.5 metres drilled width at 799 metres downhole, including 8.4 g/t gold over 6.2 metres at 828 metres downhole. Wedge hole BT26-255DW, offset 21–69 metres from its primary hole, returned 7.9 g/t gold over 2.2 metres and 4.3 g/t gold over 21.6 metres, the latter including 8.5 g/t gold over 3.4 metres. All five primary holes and three wedge holes completed at Joss this year intersected the gold-bearing Panther Creek Shear Zone, which the company states supports overall continuity of mineralised structures.

Joss Underground Resource and Deposit Scale in Context

The Joss area currently hosts an underground sulphide Inferred Mineral Resource of 6,745,000 tonnes grading 4.05 g/t for 877,000 ounces of gold, which is not included in the 2023 preliminary feasibility study economics for Beartrack-Arnett's first-phase open pit heap leach operation. The mineralised zone features a known strike of approximately 1.2 kilometres, with multiple higher-grade zones ranging from 2 to 20 metres true width within a broader lower-grade halo of 5 to 70 metres true width. The disclosure states the deposit remains open along strike and at depth, suggesting further resource expansion potential exists.

Engineering Studies and Metallurgical Testing Now Underway

Revival Gold has engaged EngComp Engineering to advise on potential underground mining approaches and associated costs, and SGS Lakefield to conduct a further phase of metallurgical testing on higher-grade material from Joss. Results from both workstreams are expected in the early new year, the release states. The company has also commenced expansion of its core logging and storage facilities at the Beartrack-Arnett site to support potential follow-up drilling aimed at further evaluating the plunge and extension of higher-grade intervals. Preparation of updated geological models is described as underway.
