About Vista Gold Corp.

Vista is a gold project developer. The company's flagship asset is Mount Todd, located in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Northern Territory, Australia. Situated approximately 250 kilometres southeast of Darwin, Mount Todd is one of the largest development-stage opportunities in Australia and demonstrates compelling economics. All major environmental and operating permits necessary to initiate development of Mount Todd are in place.

Mount Todd benefits from its location in a leading mining jurisdiction and demonstrates multiple opportunities to add value through growth of mineral resources, staged development and other derisking activities.
