Revival Gold Inc. announces the commencement of the Company’s planned 2021 metallurgical and environmental test work program with SGS Lakefield under the direction of Wood’s metallurgical staff, for the past-producing Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project (“Beartrack-Arnett”) located in Idaho, USA. Approximately three tonnes of sample material have been selected and shipped to SGS Lakefield. The primary goals of the program are to continue to evaluate heap leach recoveries and build on previous test work used in the 2020 heap leach phase Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”). Results will be used to establish recovery parameters for a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”), which is scheduled to be completed by Wood in the second half of 2022. In particular, the sensitivity of heap leach gold recovery to overall crush size will be evaluated to identify opportunities for enhancement, particularly at Arnett where historical bottle roll tests on reverse circulation chip samples indicated higher recoveries were possible. The interaction of oxide, transition and sulphide material types in the heap leach pads, and the acid base accounting over time will also be evaluated. A total of twelve standard column tests will be completed to test heap leaching performance including test work on Beartrack oxide, transition and sulphide mineralization, and Arnett oxide gold mineralization. Included in the tests will be the evaluation of one mixed sample consisting of 50% Beartrack oxide and 50% Beartrack sulphide. Column tests will be undertaken over 120-day, 180-day, 240-day and 360-day periods. The total program will require one year to complete. The longer test periods are intended to capture the effect of blending transition and sulfide mineralization into the leach pads with respect to metallurgical and environmental behaviour. A heap leach amenability test plan will be completed initially, consisting of coarse bottle roll tests. These tests will be undertaken at three sizes (12.5mm, 25mm, 38mm), with twelve tests per size. These will determine the effect of crushing size on overall gold recovery and will guide the size selections for subsequent column tests. Head analysis will consist of duplicate fire assays, cyanide soluble assays, total sulphur, total carbon, mercury by Cold Vapour Atomic Adsorption, and multi-element ICP scans (strong acid fusion). All samples will undergo a modified Acid Base Accounting Analysis (“ABA”). The ABA test provides quantification of the total sulphur, sulphide sulphur and sulphate concentrations present, and the potential acid generation related to the oxidation of the sulphide sulphur concentration. Five samples will be selected for kinetic humidity cell testing to assess the affect of aerobic weathering. The PEA featured mineralization amenable to gold recovery using standard cyanide heap leach processing. This first phase project encompasses less than one third of the available mineralized material in the project’s resources. The estimated average recovery of gold from the heap leach pad in the PEA was estimated to be 60% reflecting average recoveries of 87% for oxide material, 55% for transition material and 28% for sulfide material. Historical heap leach recoveries at the Beartrack Mine averaged approximately 70% of contained gold. Historical test-work on Arnett material indicated that the material tested is highly amenable to gold recovery by cyanide leaching. Tests were leached for 48 hours and resulted in gold extractions of 85-95%. A second phase production development at Beartrack-Arnett would require a mill process. The mill process was studied on a preliminary basis in conjunction with the resource estimate. Metallurgical test work reported in December 2019 demonstrated that Beartrack sulphide material responds favourably to a combined process flowsheet of rougher flotation, cyanide leaching of the rougher flotation tailings, pressure oxidation of the rougher flotation concentrate and cyanide leaching of the resulting residue to produce doré gold. The overall gold recovery in test work was 94-95% and appeared to be independent of primary grind size.
