• The safety of our employees and independent contractors is paramount. Revival Gold took steps to ensure its compliance with Health Canada and Centers for Disease Control & Prevention guidelines on February 27^th, 2020 and subsequently directed employees and active independent contractors to work from home and eliminate all Company-related business travel. All key personnel are accounted for and in good health.

• As a result of turbulent market conditions, Revival Gold, in consultation with its agents, Paradigm Capital Inc., Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and Beacon Securities Limited, has elected to withdraw and cancel its marketed public offering of units announced on March 5^th, 2020.
