"Steve's leadership, knowledge and commitment have played a vital role in developing the Company and building a strong foundation for future growth. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire Revival Gold team, we extend our sincere thanks to Steve and wish him all the best in his retirement,” added Agro.

Mr. Pace joined Revival Gold in 2023 and quickly helped transform the Company's in-house geoscience capabilities and capacity with a focus on data-driven techniques to refine and improve upon Revival Gold's exploration targeting and results. Mr. Pace obtained his master's degree in Economic Geology from the University of Reno in Nevada, U.S.A. and has a wide breadth of technical experience and a fifteen-year track record of project generation and ore deposit discovery. Mr. Pace is a co-discoverer of the exceptional Silicon gold deposit in Nevada.
