^{PRESENTED BY REVIVAL GOLD}

Revival Gold (TSX-V: RVG | OTCQX: RVLGF) is advancing two past-producing gold mines in Idaho and Utah that together host roughly 6 million ounces of gold in resources.

With gold trading near record levels, investors have been rotating toward developers that already have defined ounces and modern economic studies, not just early-stage exploration concepts.

⛏️ Two Brownfield U.S. Projects

Mercur, Utah
A past-producing open-pit mine with a 2025 PEA outlining a modern heap-leach operation. At higher gold prices, company-published economics show substantial project value, with plans to advance toward pre-feasibility and permitting.

Beartrack-Arnett, Idaho
Another past producer with a 2023 PFS supporting a restart heap-leach operation, plus additional underground exploration potential.

📊 Leverage to Gold

According to Revival’s published studies, when modeled at higher gold prices, the combined after-tax net present value of the two projects reaches into the billions of dollars. The company itself, however, still trades at a small-cap valuation. That gap is what some gold-focused investors watch, recognizing that outcomes depend on gold prices, execution, financing, and permitting.

🌎 Why It’s on Radar Screens

Both projects are located in established U.S. mining states with existing infrastructure and prior production history. Revival is actively drilling and updating studies to move each asset further along the development path.
