Vista Gold Corp. T.VGZ

Alternate Symbol(s):  VGZ

Vista Gold Corp. (NYSE American and TSX: VGZ) holds the Mt Todd gold project, a shovel-ready development-stage deposit located in Northern Territory, Australia. Mt Todd offers significant scale, development optionality, growth opportunities, advanced local infrastructure, community support, and demonstrated economic feasibility. All major operating and environmental permits necessary to initiate development of the Project are in place. A feasibility study was completed in 2022 and updated in 2024 demonstrating strong economics for development of a large-scale, 50,000 tonnes per day operation. Later this year, Vista Gold plans to start a feasibility study targeting 150,000 to 200,000 ounces of annual gold production with initial capital costs of less than $400 million. The Company is focused on positioning Mt Todd as a leading development opportunity.

RE: Vista Poor management

RE: Vista Poor managementSince Vista has no production, you can hardly look for a profit stream. The strategy has been to pick up marginal gold deposits as they come on the market at attractive prices and then wait, like until now, for an improved gold price. Vista has about ten million ounces in reserves of various classes, all low grade.  This gives about 0.3 ounces in the ground per share. (I agree not all will be recoverable but then there might be more to be found).  Newmont bought out Miramar for about $150 per ounce in the ground which I regard as too generous but the figure indicates how the market is doing. Miramar's gold is all close to the Arctic coast and in permafrost where operating costs will be horrendous. I would prefer Vista's deposit in Baja California, even if it is in Mexico where political problems are always a possibility. In Australia, Mt.Todd ore requires a lot of grinding so energy consumption will be high. The location is also remote but there is already some infrastructure there. Who else has two open pit gold mines coming on stream each with million ounce potential.  I would be surprised if Vista's holdings do not become focus of a take over at a price of around $10/share. .
