Revival Gold Inc. (TSX-V: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF)
(“Revival Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report positive
results from the Company’s column leach metallurgical test program
on representative samples from the Mercur Gold Project (“Mercur”)
in Utah, U.S.A.
Five composite samples were developed from seven
HQ core holes for testing. The composites were developed to be
geologically and grade representative of the primary gold-bearing
heap leachable host rocks at Mercur. The composites were crushed to
100% passing 12.5 mm (0.5 inch) and actively leached for
seven weeks. The test program was undertaken by Kappes Cassiday
& Associates (“KCA”) at KCA’s laboratory in Reno, Nevada.
Results of were as follows:
- Overall extraction rates
for gold for the five column leach tests were 85%, 85%, 74%, 92%,
and 82%. Table 1 describes the composites tested and
compares the column leach test results against the applicable
bottle roll test results.
- Average sodium cyanide
consumption for the column leach tests was 0.57 kg/T
(1.14 lbs/t) and lime addition was
1.0 kg/T (2 lbs/t).
- The column leach kinetics were
rapid on all composites with 90% of the gold leached
reporting to solution after only five days.

Together with historical operational and
exploration data, these results demonstrate that Mercur host rocks
are amenable to cyanide leaching for the recovery of gold. The
results will be used to support heap leach recovery rate
assumptions to be used in a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”)
for Mercur targeted by Revival Gold for completion by the end of Q1
2025.
“We are very pleased with today’s metallurgical
test results”, said Hugh Agro, President and CEO. “The mid-80’s
percent average extraction rate and rapid leach kinetics for the
five columns tested bode well for the upcoming Mercur PEA”, added
Agro.

estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans,
objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company
or management expects a stated condition or result to occur.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as
“believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”,
“would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are
based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by
their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Although these statements are based on information currently
available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that
actual results will meet management’s expectations. Risks,

statements could cause actual events, results, performance,
prospects, and opportunities to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements in this document
include, but are not limited to, Revival Gold using positive
metallurgical test results to support heap leach recovery rate
assumptions for a PEA, that the PEA will be delivered in Q1 2025,
the Company’s objectives, goals and future plans, and statements of
intent, the implications of exploration results, mineral
resource/reserve estimates and exploration and mine development
plans. 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
