DENVER, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vista Gold Corp. (TSX & NYSE Amex Equities: VGZ) ("Vista" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Earn-in Right Agreement (the "Agreement") with Mexico-based Invecture Group, S.A. de C.V. ("Invecture") with respect to Vista's Concordia gold project in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Invecture is the owner of Frontera Copper Corporation, which owns and operates the Piedras Verdes Copper Mine in the Mexican State of Sonora. A conference call with management to discuss this transaction is scheduled for Monday, February 13, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. MST.
Vista holds the Concordia gold project through its wholly-owned, Mexican subsidiary, Desarrollos Zapal, S.A. de C.V. ("DZ Mexico"). Under the terms of the Agreement, Invecture has agreed to make a non-refundable payment of US$2.0 million in exchange for the right to earn a 60% interest (subject to adjustment) in DZ Mexico (the "Earn-in Right"). The Earn-in Right will expire if not exercised by February 7, 2014, subject to extension in certain circumstances (the "Earn-in Period"). The Agreement provides that during the Earn-in Period, Invecture will, at its sole expense, manage and operate the Concordia gold project and will undertake all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Change of Forest Land Use Permit ("CUSF") and the Authorization of Environmental Impact which are required to develop the project. Invecture has advised that it will secure US$70.0 million in project debt finance to construct the Concordia gold project after it has exercised the Earn-in Right and after a project development decision has been made. Once Invecture has earned its interest in the Concordia gold project, the parties have agreed to evaluate market conditions with regard to the future organization and ownership structure of DZ Mexico.
Commenting on this transaction with Invecture, Fred Earnest, President and CEO of Vista, said, "Our team in Mexico has worked hard to advance the Concordia gold project. This investment by Invecture represents a vote of confidence that the Concordia gold project represents an excellent opportunity to develop a new mine that we expect will make an important contribution to employment and to the economy in Baja California. We and Invecture believe that the environmental impacts of the development of a mine can be limited and that the benefits to the state and local communities will far outweigh these concerns. We believe Invecture's in-country experience, financial strength, and committed management team make Invecture an excellent strategic partner to take the lead in securing the authorizations and financing required to bring Concordia into production."
The Agreement provides that the exercise of the Earn-in Right by Invecture is conditional upon, among other things: (i) receipt of the CUSF and the Authorization of Environmental Impact; (ii) the completion of a feasibility report on the Concordia gold project which updates the existing feasibility report with respect to costs; (iii) Invecture funding the Concordia gold project during the Earn-in Period; and (iv) Invecture making an additional payment of US$20.0 million to DZ Mexico, which amount will be used to repay intercompany loans owed by DZ Mexico to Vista.
During the Earn-in Period and subject to the terms of the Agreement, Vista will hold 40% of the DZ Mexico shareholder voting rights. The remaining 60% of the DZ Mexico shareholder voting rights will be held in a trust that will be instructed by representatives from Vista and Invecture. Upon Invecture's exercise of the Earn-in Right, Vista will continue to hold a 40% interest (subject to adjustment) in DZ Mexico and the Concordia gold project.
As part of the Agreement, DZ Mexico has transferred all of its other material assets, including the mill equipment acquired by Vista for the Concordia gold project in 2008 and the Guadalupe de los Reyes gold/silver project, to other entities in the Vista group of companies. Vista has granted Invecture the option to cause DZ Mexico to acquire the mill equipment for US$16.0 million plus storage, insurance and transportation costs and any applicable taxes. This option is exercisable by Invecture during the first 12 months after the date of the Agreement.
Mr. Earnest went on to conclude, "With Concordia being funded and managed by a very capable Mexican partner, we are able to fully focus our energy and resources on the development of the Mt. Todd gold project in Northern Territory, Australia, and on the exploration and evaluation of the Guadalupe de los Reyes gold/silver project in Sinaloa, Mexico. We have drilling programs underway at both of these projects, and in the coming weeks, we expect to announce the results of a definitive feasibility study for the Mt. Todd gold project, which will be a significant milestone in our development of that world class project."
About Vista Gold Corp.
Vista is focused on the development of its Mt. Todd gold project in Northern Territory, Australia, and its Concordia gold project in Baja California Sur, Mexico, to achieve its goal of becoming a gold producer. After the initial public offering of the common shares of Midas Gold Corp. ("Midas"), Vista held approximately 30% of Midas' common shares. Midas has a large exploration property in Idaho, including the Yellow Pine property previously held by Vista. Vista's other holdings include the Guadalupe de los Reyes gold-silver project in Mexico, the Awak Mas gold project in Indonesia and the Long Valley gold project in California.

STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Manentine's Day is on March 14th and is like Valentine's Day, but celebrates the man in the relationship. The holiday encourages couples to dine at manly restaurants, buy manly gifts, and do manly activities. Even single men can enjoy Manentine's Day by celebrating their friendship with their bros.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120207/CG49527)
The holiday provides a platform for significant others to show appreciation for their men and brings an element of equality to the relationship. If a woman enjoys a great Valentine's Day, she now has the opportunity to reciprocate one month later, by treating her man to his own special day on March 14th.
Manentine's Day is not only a fun holiday to celebrate, but also a great stimulator for the economy. The holiday will drive new business and increase consumer spending during the month of March, which in the past did not benefit from a holiday that encouraged activities, dinners, and gifts.
The official Manentine's Day website (www.OfficialManentinesDay.com) serves as a hub for the holiday, offering a great resource for how people can celebrate the day. The site currently includes information about the top manly restaurants, activities, bars, clubs, gifts, and clothing stores across 20 of the largest cities in the US. The structure for the website is based around the "10 Rules for Manentine's Day" which were created to help plan the best possible holiday for men.
Here are the "Official 10 Rules for Manentine's Day":
- Plan for Your Man!
- Dress To Impress
- Present A Man Bouquet
- Do Something Sporty
- Go To A Manly Restaurant
- Cook or Bake Something
- Surprise Him With A Gift
- Do Something Relaxing
- Stroke His Big Ego
- Sexy-Time
The Official Manentine's Day website is also hosting several contests including a "Why I Love Manentine's Day" video contest, a contest for the best Manentine's Day product ("swag") design, and a contest where one lucky man will be crowned "St. Manentine." In addition, there is an interactive element to the site where individuals can ask the founder of Manentine's Day, "Valentina," any question that they have about the holiday or relationships.
