Vista Gold Corp. Announces Feasibility Study Results for Mt Todd Gold Project

Vista Gold Corp. has announced the results of a feasibility study for its Mt Todd gold project, which outlines a 15,000 tonnes per day operation. The study highlights strong economics with an after-tax NPV (5%) of US$1.1 billion and an IRR of 27.8% at a gold price of $2,500/oz. The project is expected to produce an average of 153,000 ounces of gold annually over the first 15 years, with a life-of-mine average of 146,000 ounces. Initial capital costs are estimated at $425 million, a 59% reduction from the previous feasibility study. The project leverages contract mining and third-party power generation to reduce capital costs and operational risks. The study also emphasizes the potential for future expansion opportunities.
