Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 22, 2026) - Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF) ("Revival Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report additional infill drilling results with the Company's 2026 drilling program now 64% complete at the Mercur Gold Project ("Mercur" or, the "Project") located in Utah, U.S.A.
Highlights
Revival Gold has completed approximately 11,600 meters (64%) of planned drilling in 119 reverse circulation ("RC") and core holes at Mercur this year.
Results from the first 30 infill RC drill holes were released in July and earlier this month (see Revival Gold news release dated July 15th, 2026, and September 8th, 2026).
Results from a further 20 infill RC drill holes (RM26-213 to RM26-232) in the Main Mercur area are depicted in Figure 1 with details provided in Table 1. Results include:
0.92 grams per tonne ("g/T") gold over 33.5 meters width1 at 31 meters downhole in RM26-213
0.57 g/T gold over 30.5 meters width1 at 20 meters downhole in RM26-217
0.75 g/T gold over 29.0 meters width1 at 26 meters downhole in RM26-220
0.76 g/T gold over 22.9 meters width1 at 8 meters downhole in RM26-223
Infill drilling results to date continue to support the grade and leachability estimates outlined in Revival Gold's 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA")2 and highlight potential expansion opportunities in heap leachable material beyond the PEA mine plan.
Drilling is ongoing with three rigs at Mercur. A fourth, auger drilling rig, is expected to arrive by month-end and will complete an initial investigation of legacy run-of-mine ("ROM") heap leach pad material. Approximately 9 million tonnes of legacy ROM heap leach material are stored in three pads at Mercur and may be suitable for future reprocessing to recover residual gold.
1True width for all holes is estimated to be 70-98% of drilled width.
2 See "Preliminary Economic Assessment NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Mercur Gold Project, Tooele & Utah Counties, Utah, USA" prepared by Kappes, Cassidy & Associates, and RESPEC Company LLC, dated May 2nd, 2025.
"Revival Gold is making excellent progress with shallow drilling and has intersected consistently good grades in oxidized material suitable for heap leaching," said Hugh Agro, President & CEO. "Legacy ROM heap leach pads represent a further potential value opportunity within the private land position at Mercur with its successful production history and existing site services infrastructure," added Agro.
Details
Collar locations for the 20 infill RC drill holes released today are illustrated in Figure 1 with detailed drilling results presented in Table 1.

Notes:
1 True width for all holes is estimated to be 70-98% of drilled width. Numbers may not add up due to rounding.
2 AuCN/AuFA is the ratio of cyanide soluble gold assay to total gold in fire assay and provides an indication of potential heap leach recoverability for the material sampled.
3 Mineralized intercepts are calculated based on a 0.17 g/T cutoff grade allowing up to two intervals of internal dilution.
4 Intervals with no recovery or non-assayed intervals are assigned a 0 (nil) value for intercept calculation.
QA/QC Program
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 Elko, Nevada and Twin Falls, Idaho. Gold analyses are performed at the ALS Geochemistry laboratory in Reno, Nevada or Vancouver, British Columbia, and multi-element geochemical analyses are completed at the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia. ALS Minerals is an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab.
Gold assays are determined on reverse circulation drill cuttings by fire assay and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) on a 30-gram nominal sample weight (Au-AA23). For samples containing greater than 100 ppb Au as determined by Fire Assay, gold content is also determined by cyanide leach with an AAS finish on a nominal 30-gram sample weight (Au-AA13). Multi-element geochemical analyses are completed on composites samples from selected drill holes using the ME-MS 41 method.
