Star Metro - Revival Gold Targets Underground Resource Growth With Drilling at Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project in Idaho

Highlights

• 2,300 meters of core drilling completed to-date of a planned 3,900-meter winter program at Beartrack-Arnett that commenced in October 2025.

• At Sharkey, a two-kilometer step-out target from Joss under cover, drill hole BT25-247D intercepted alteration and shearing near the bedrock contact; however, multi-element geochemical analysis showed no significant results.

• Beartrack-Arnett's Panther Creek Shear Zone ("PCSZ") structure remains untested for several kilometers to the south of Joss and continues to be a high priority for future exploration.

• Meanwhile, Revival Gold's focus has shifted back to Joss with two rigs turning , targeting the potential expansion of the high-grade underground Mineral Resources in this area , last drilled in 2022. Status as follows:

  • First hole, BT26-252D , is complete having successfully intersected the target PCSZ;

  • Second hole, BT26-251D-A , is nearing the target PCSZ, drilling continues; and

  • Additional holes are planned to target resource extensions over a strike of about 500 meters and to a depth of about 550 meters .

• The first phase, open pit heap leach Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") at Beartrack-Arnett and the resulting Net Asset Value estimate excludes underground Mineral Resources. The current drill program at Joss is planned to evaluate the potential for a subsequent underground phase of operation at Beartrack-Arnett.

"Exploration drilling at Beartrack-Arnett is targeting potential expansion of the project's current underground Mineral Resource of almost one million ounces of gold. After a slow start to the program, two rigs are on site and rapidly advancing. We completed three shallow holes at Sharkey last year and one deep hole to-date this year at Joss. We are pleased to have intersected the favorable PCSZ rocks and look forward to providing further updates as results become available", said Hugh Agro, President & CEO.

The Beartrack-Arnett gold project is a structurally controlled orogenic gold deposit running north-south on the PCSZ. The project hosts an underground Inferred Mineral Resource of 6,745,000 tonnes grading 4.05 grams gold per tonne for 877,000 ounces of gold that is not included in the 2023 first phase open pit, heap leach PFS. 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.

Current Joss area drilling targets are depicted on Figure 1. The first hole at Joss encountered ductile deformation textures and alteration that are consistent with the PCSZ structure. Alteration does not necessarily correlate with the presence or abundance of gold mineralization within the structure.

The Sharkey target is a two-kilometer step-out to the south to extend the PCSZ structure. The Sharkey target is defined by a geophysics (resistivity) anomaly that may map the PSCZ structural corridor under post-mineral cover. The target stratigraphy was intercepted in hole BT25-247D. The intercept was highly fractured and contained small vein selvages with sericitic alteration typically seen in other areas associated with the PCSZ, however, there were no geochemical anomalies in the samples from the intercept.

Extensions of the PCSZ from the Joss area to the south at Sharkey remain open for new discoveries and are a high priority future drilling.

Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to: Statements with respect to the Company's exploration and development activities, the goals and expected outcomes of the planned drilling program at Beartrack-Arnett, the ability to complete the targeted program meters, the presence of alteration or structure, intercepting the shear zone, the potential for future assays, the high-grade nature of drill intercepts and mineralization at Beartrack-Arnett, the underground potential at Beartrack-Arnett and that the Mercur gold project development will advance.

Forward-looking statements and information involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of whether or not such results will be achieved.
