Revival Gold Announces Sale of Non-Core Diamond Mountain Phosphate Property
Revival Gold Trims Non-Core Phosphate Asset to Fund Mercur PFS and Cement Pure-Play Gold Status

Executive Summary
- On June 1, 2026, Revival Gold announced the sale of its 51% interest in the non-core Diamond Mountain phosphate project to Canadian Phosphate Ltd.
- Upfront consideration consists of $127,500 in cash and 3,081,286 shares of Canadian Phosphate (valued at $382,500 based on a deemed price of AUD$0.1743 per share).
- Milestone payments include $255,000 payable at the first anniversary and $765,000 upon commencement of commercial production at Diamond Mountain, with options to settle in Canadian Phosphate shares.
- The transaction is conditional on regulatory and ASX approvals, with closing expected prior to or during Q3 2026.
- Management frames the divestiture as a strategic pivot to focus exclusively on its U.S. gold project pipeline (Mercur and Beartrack-Arnett), while retaining indirect exposure to critical mineral development.
Material Impact
- The divestiture is a routine, incremental positive. The upfront cash proceeds are modest relative to the company's recent $33M financing closed in May 2026.
- The equity stake in Canadian Phosphate provides speculative upside but introduces illiquidity and counterparty risk, as Canadian Phosphate is an ASX-listed junior with its own capital needs.
- The move aligns with previously stated management strategy to streamline the portfolio and focus on advancing the Mercur PFS. It does not materially alter the balance sheet or near-term cash burn profile.
- No surprises in the market; the company has been actively drilling and raising capital to fund the Mercur development. The sale is a logical housekeeping step rather than a transformative event.

Company Overview
- Revival Gold is a U.S.-focused gold developer advancing two brownfield projects: Mercur in Utah and Beartrack-Arnett in Idaho.
- Mercur is a past-producing Carlin-style gold project. A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) projects ~95,600 oz/year average production over a 10-year life, with an after-tax NPV of $752M at $3,000/oz and an IRR of 57%. The company targets a PFS release in Q1 2027, permitting completion by end-2027, and production by 2029.
- Beartrack-Arnett hosts high-grade underground potential. Recent drilling at the Joss area returned 5.4 g/t Au over 32.6m, supporting plans for a potential underground mining phase alongside the open-pit heap leach.
- The company operates on private land with existing infrastructure, aiming to minimize permitting risk and capex.
