TORONTO, Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — reliveI Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG, OTCQX: RVLGF) (“Revival Gold” or the “Company”), announces the successful completion of its 2022 drilling program at the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project (“Beartrack-Arnett”) located in Idaho, United States. During the year, Revival Gold completed 22 cores for a total of approximately 5,500 meters.
The results of the first two central holes for this year’s program released in September (BT22-241D and BT22-242D) confirmed the continuity of potentially underground mineable grades in a broad zone of gold mineralization in the Target area Joss and further highlighted the depth and extent of mineralization at Beartrack-Arnett. Joss stretches out on a strike 1,000 meters, has now been drilled to a depth of over 500 meters and is open in all directions. Intercepts for the 20 core holes completed at Joss to date average of 7.7 g/t gold over a drill width of 5.5 meters in a wider zone of 2.8 g/t gold over a drill width of 45.5 meters (actual widths are estimated at 30% to 50% of drilled widths). See Revival Gold press releases from December 2n/a2021, September 12e2022 and September 22n/a2022, for more details.
Two additional core holes were completed this year for a total of four boreholes and 2,600 meters on main axis of Beartrack-Arnett mineralization, one in the South Pit target area (BT22-243D), and an additional hole in the Joss target area (BT22-244D). Hole BT22-243D is intended to extend the high grade mineralization at the southern end of the south pit and hole BT22-244D is intended to extend the high grade intervals of the 2018 drill program. Assay results are expected over the next six weeks.
In the Haidee target areaRevival Gold completed 18 fill and expansion boreholes over 2,900 meters near surface, oxidized material from this satellite deposit. These holes are intended to upgrade the inferred resources to indicated resources and extend the current mineral resources to the southwest, or down dip. Mineralization at Haidee remains open in all directions. The results of the analyzes are expected within the next three months.
Revival Gold’s exploration activities will now focus on examination and interpretation drill results, Beartrack-Arnett update geological and mineral resource models in support of the preliminary feasibility study of the first phase of the heap leach projected in 2023 (“PFS”) and the preparation of future drilling plans.
“The Revival Gold exploration team is to be commended for concluding another safe and productive drilling campaign at Beartrack-Arnett this year with exciting results from Joss and the completion of all planned drilling in the Haidee area. to support next year’s PFS. More assay results are expected later this month and into the new year, said Revival Gold president and CEO Hugh Agro. We look forward to building on the excellent 2022 results in future drilling campaigns,” added Agro.
QA/QC program
Quality assurance/quality control consists of the regular insertion of certified reference materials, duplicate samples and blanks into the sample stream. Control samples are submitted to an adjudication laboratory at the end of the drilling program. Sample results are analyzed upon receipt and any discrepancies are investigated. Samples are submitted to the ALS Geochemistry sample preparation facility in Twin Falls, Idaho. Gold analyzes are performed at the ALS Geochemistry laboratory in Reno, Nevada or Vancouver, British Columbia, and multi-element geochemical analyzes are performed at the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia. ALS Minerals is an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory.
Gold assays are determined on half drill core samples by fire assay and AAS on a nominal sample weight of 30 grams (Au-AA23) for Beartrack, and Fire Assay and AAS on a nominal sample weight of 30 grams (Au-AA23). nominal sample of 50 grams (Au-AA24) for Arnet. For shallow holes, targeting leachable mineralization, gold grade is also determined by cyanide leaching with an AAS finish on a nominal sample weight of 30 grams (Au-AA13). Multi-element geochemical analyzes are performed on selected drill holes using the ME-MS 61M method.
