High Grade Gold Intercepts Continued To Be Encountered At Mt. Todd

DENVER, CO - Vista Gold Corp. reported on final drill results for its 2024 drilling program at the Mt Todd gold project. These results further delineate the wider veins with high gold grade intercepts that are consistent with previous drill results in the South Cross Lode (SXL).

VB24-032 – Drilled in the SXL and returned multiple mineralized intervals, including: 1) 3.0 meters at 4.13 grams of gold per tonne (g Au/t) from 121.1 meters downhole. 2) 0.6 meters at 18.34 g Au/t from 123.5 meters downhole. 3)  1.1 meters at 16.00 g Au/t from 142.9 meters downhole. 4) 0.3 meters at 65.42 g Au/t from 142.9 meters downhole.

VB24-033 – Drilled in hanging wall structures adjacent to the Batman deposit and returned multiple mineralized intervals, including: 1) 43.3 meters at 0.82 g Au/t from 109.0 meters downhole. 2) 1.0 meters at 7.55 g Au/t from 134.0 meters downhole.

VB24-034 – Drilled in the SXL and returned multiple mineralized intervals, including: ) 29.0 meters at 1.55 g Au/t from 156.0 meters downhole. 2) 1.9 meters at 8.01 g Au/t from 172.1 meters downhole.

Frederick H. Earnest, President and CEO, said, “The holes announced today were an excellent way to finish our drilling in the South Cross Lode. We are most excited about the wider and higher-grade vein intercepts that we continued to encounter at depths beginning just 100 meters below surface. The Company plans to provide an overview of the 2024 drilling program soon. These and prior drill holes in the South Cross Lode demonstrate the continuity of the mineralization along strike at relatively shallow depths. We expect this to benefit the update to our resource model and the reserve estimates that will be completed in conjunction with the in-progress Mt Todd feasibility study.”
