Drilling Intersects 14.9 g/t Gold over 5.9 Meters and Extends Depth of Mineralization by 240 Meters at Joss
Revival extends the Joss Depth to 850 meters while maintaining the Mercur pre-feasibility study timeline.
Revival Gold Inc. (RVG) reported high-grade drill results from the Joss area at its Beartrack-Arnett Project in Idaho on June 25, 2026. Hole BT26-254D intercepted 2.37 g/t Au over 147.2m, including 14.9 g/t Au over 5.9m at 861m downhole. These results extend the known depth of underground sulphide mineralization to approximately 850 meters below surface, representing a 240-meter vertical step-out.
The 2026 drilling program has completed approximately 5,500 meters of core across eight pierce points targeting the Panther Creek Shear Zone. Joss currently hosts an underground Inferred Mineral Resource of 6,745,000 tonnes grading 4.05 g/t Au for 877,000 ounces of gold. Detailed results for primary hole BT26-255D and three wedge holes remain pending.
Revival Gold Inc. (RVG) released results on June 25 that validate the high-grade underground potential at Joss, reinforcing management's long-term vision of adding a third development phase, specifically underground mining, to the Beartrack-Arnett open-pit heap leach plan. The extension to 850 meters significantly increases the vertical dimension of the deposit by approximately 70%, improving the long-term resource base and potential mine life.
The Joss resource is currently classified as Inferred and is not included in the 2023 Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) economics. Consequently, this update does not alter near-term project economics or the Mercur-focused PFS timeline, which is targeted for Q1 2027. The news aligns with previous expectations and the ongoing 2026 exploration mandate, representing incremental resource growth rather than a fundamental shift in project viability or financing requirements.
