Revival Gold Intersects 8.4 g/t Gold over 6.2 Meters and 8.5 g/t Gold over 3.4 Meters Supporting Overall Continuity of Mineralization at the Beartrack-Arnett Joss Target
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 7, 2026) - Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF) ("Revival Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report successful wedge hole drilling results from the Joss target area at the Company's Beartrack-Arnett Project ("Beartrack-Arnett" or the "Project") located in Idaho, U.S.A.
7.9 g/T gold over 2.2 meters drilled width1 at 484 meters downhole.
4.3 g/T gold over 21.6 meters drilled width1 at 551 meters downhole including:
8.5 g/T gold over 3.4 meters drilled width1 at 555 meters downhole.
Previously reported primary hole BT26-254D intersected 2.37 g/T gold over 147.2 meters drilled width1 including 14.9 g/T gold over 5.9 meters drilled width1 (see Revival Gold news release dated June 25th, 2026)
Previously reported primary hole BT26-255D intersected 3.43 g/T gold over 131.7 meters drilled width1 including a high-grade interval of 6.56 g/T gold over 42.5 meters drilled width1 (see Revival Gold news release dated August 4th, 2026)
All five primary drill holes and three wedge holes completed in this year's drilling program at Joss intersected the gold bearing Panther Creek Shear Zone ("PCSZ") (see Revival Gold news releases dated April 20th, June 25th, and August 4th, 2026)
Today's wedge hole results support the overall continuity of structures at Joss. Joss has a known mineralized strike of about 1.2 kilometers, and multiple higher-grade (+2 g/T gold) mineralized zones with horizontal (true)widths of 2-20 meters within a larger lower-grade halo that ranges from 5 to 70 meters true width and remains open along strike and at depth.

Revival Gold intercepts 8.4 g/t Au over 6.2 m and 8.5 g/t Au over 3.4 m at Beartrack-Arnett Joss | Strikepoint News
Preparation of updated geological models is underway. Additionally, Revival Gold has contracted EngComp Engineering to advise on potential underground mining approaches and costs and SGS Lakefield to conduct a further phase of metallurgical testing on higher-grade material from Joss. Results are expected in the early new year.
Meanwhile, work has commenced on an expansion of Revival Gold's core logging and storage facilities at the Beartrack-Arnett site in preparation for potential follow-up drilling to further develop and evaluate the plunge/extension of higher-grade intervals.
Note: 1True widths are estimated to be 40-55% of drilled width.
"Beartrack-Arnett continues to impress with today's drilling results providing crucial support for the overall continuity of mineralized structures in the Joss underground deposit area. This year's successful program - including wedge hole drilling - has increased confidence in our ability to accelerate the pace and efficiency at which we might confirm the mineability of Joss," said Hugh Agro, President & CEO.
Mr. Agro continued, "With this year's drilling now complete, the Project team has turned to the task of updating geological models, advancing engineering concepts for potential future mining and processing, and expanding our base of operations at site. We look forward to providing further updates on this important potential value catalyst for Revival Gold later in the year."
Background
The Beartrack-Arnett gold project is a structurally controlled orogenic gold deposit striking north-south within the PCSZ. The deposit is subject to an earn-in agreement for 100% by Revival Gold and is one of the Top-5 new gold discoveries made in the United States in the last fifteen years (S&P Capital IQ Pro. Discovery is defined as an increase of gold Mineral Resources and Reserves, starting from no resource in 2010 to today).
In the Joss area, the Project currently hosts an underground sulphide Inferred Mineral Resource of 6,745,000 tonnes grading 4.05 g/T for 877,000 ounces of gold that is not included in Beartrack-Arnett's 2023 first phase open pit, heap leach PFS economics (see "Preliminary Feasibility Study NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Beartrack-Arnett Heap Leach Project, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA" prepared by Kappes, Cassidy & Associates, IMC, KCH and WSP dated August 2nd, 2023, for further details).
The 2026 drilling program in the Joss area was designed to expand the area of known mineralization, augment an update to the Beartrack-Arnett'smineral resources estimate, and potentially support a future underground mine economic study.
Detailed Results
Detailed results from BT26-254DW and BT26-255DW are presented below.
(1) Mineralized Halo calculated including internal dilution between shears where mineralization was mostly elevated above 0.5 g/T Au and had scattered intercepts > 1 g/T Au and was not capped for internal dilution.
(2) Azimuth and Dip based on the orientation of the hole at the wedge point.
(3) True thickness is estimated at 40-55% of drilled thickness in the reported holes. Numbers may not add due to rounding.
(4) Indicated intercepts are based on a 2 g/T Au cutoff grade allowing up to 1.8 meters true width of internal dilution and requiring a minimum true thickness intercept of 7.6 gram x meters or minimum true thickness of 1.8 meters.
(5) Lost samples are assigned a 0 g/T Au value for intercept calculations.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control consists of the regular insertion of certified reference materials, duplicate samples, and blanks into the sample stream. Sample results are analyzed immediately upon receipt, and all discrepancies are investigated. Samples are submitted to the ALS Geochemistry sample preparation facility in Twin Falls, Idaho. Gold analyses are performed at the ALS Geochemistry laboratory in Reno, Nevada and Vancouver, British Columbia. ALS Minerals is an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab.
Gold assays are determined on half sawn PQ and HQ core by fire assay and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) on a 30-gram nominal sample weight (Au-AA23).
