TORONTO, Aug. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revival Gold Inc.

Drilling resumed with two rigs this past weekend with Boart Longyear Limited contracted to complete an initial 5,000-meter program, beginning in the Haidee area at Arnett. Drilling at Haidee will focus on resource expansion and infill core drilling.
The current leachable Mineral Resource at Haidee consists of an Indicated resource of 2,300,000 tonnes averaging 0.66 g/t gold containing 49,000 ounces of gold and an Inferred resource of 8,300,000 tonnes averaging 0.55 g/t Au containing 147,000 ounces of gold. See the Company’s technical report titled “Technical Report on the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA” by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. dated February 21, 2020. The resource at Haidee is open in all directions.
At Beartrack, Revival Gold’s drilling program this year will test an airborne magnetic anomaly in an area known as Rabbit. Rabbit is located along the Panther Creek Shear Zone and begins approximately two kilometers south of the current Beartrack Mineral Resource at Joss. The initial target is at the projected intersection of the Panther Creek Shear Zone with a crossing structure. Further program details for Beartrack-Arnett will be released later this month.
“With funding and drill permits in place, Revival Gold’s exploration team has moved quickly to resume drilling. The deposits at Beartrack-Arnett are open and we are excited to be in a position to drill several big step-out holes in the exploration program this year,” said Hugh Agro, President & CEO.
