(“Revival Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has resumed drilling on the high-grade Joss target at the Company’s Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project (“Beartrack-Arnett”) located in Idaho, USA.
Approximately 2,000 meters of core drilling in three holes are planned this summer at Joss . Drilling will focus on the continued definition and expansion of the one-kilometer trend of high-grade gold mineralization with underground mining and mill potential. High-grade intercepts from the eighteen core holes previously drilled on the Joss trend typically run from 4–11 g/t gold and are estimated to range between 1–5 meters in true width (see Revival Gold press release dated March 1 st , 2021). Drilling will follow up BT21 240D which intersected 4.34 g/t gold over 110.6 meters drilled width, including 12 g/t gold over 13.7 meters drilled width, and 8.8 g/t gold over 11.8 meters drilled width (see Revival Gold press release dated December 2 nd , 2021).
Once drilling has been completed at Joss, the drill rig will move to the Haidee open pit heap leach resource area, where approximately 2,000 meters of infill and expansion core drilling are planned . Upon completion of drilling at Haidee, the drill rig will move to the Roman’s Trench area for a final 1,000 meters of core drilling intended to follow-up on historical reverse circulation drilling which intersected 1.90 g/t gold over 21 meters drilled width and 1.95 g/t gold over 18 meters drilled width in near-surface oxides (see Revival Gold press release dated March 15 th , 2022).
“2022 marks our fifth, and potentially, most exciting season of drilling at Beartrack-Arnett. We are kicking it off with follow-up drilling on the Joss target, a target which has proven to be catalytic to our view on the potential for high grade underground mill resources at Beartrack-Arnett. We’ll then move to Haidee, where the emphasis is on further definition and expansion of the existing open pit oxide gold resource, and then to Roman’s Trench, which is a new near surface oxide gold exploration drill target for Revival Gold,” said Hugh Agro, Revival Gold, President & CEO.
Core drilling is being conducted by contractor Major Drilling America, Inc. and is expected to continue through September. A grade-thickness longitudinal section showing the approximate locations of the planned drill holes at Joss is presented in Figure 1.
Depending on rig availability, Revival Gold has planned an additional 3,000 meters of reverse circulation this year to test various other potential near surface oxide gold exploration opportunities at Beartrack-Arnett based on various soil geochemistry and geophysics anomalies.
