Solvista Commencing Initial Drill Program on High Priority Copper and Gold Targets at Talbot Property, Manitoba

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 6, 2015) - Solvista Gold Corporation ("Solvista") (TSX VENTURE:SVV) (OTCQX:SVVZF) is pleased to report that a first phase drill program on the Talbot property is planned to commence in mid-August. The fully permitted program will consist of approximately 10-15 holes totalling a minimum of 5,000m. The drilling will focus on four (4) areas within and proximal to the historic, high grade, copper-gold-zinc-silver (Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide or VMS) Talbot Deposit. The Talbot Property is interpreted to be part of the Flin Flon-Snow Lake greenstone belt located in central Manitoba, Canada.

Drilling will focus on four (4) main areas where high grade copper and gold potential remains untested: 1) Talbot Deposit: main and footwall lenses where potential deposit extensions were identified by several interpreted bore hole anomalies. Additionally, a large newly identified, untested anomaly associated with the north lens is interpreted to be the up and down dip extensions of the north lens, 2) High Grade Gold: several significant high grade historic gold-silver drill intercepts were located south of the high grade Talbot Deposit (5.2m grading 10.4g/t gold and 54.5g/t silver in hole TLS005 and 9.3m grading 8.2g/t gold and 88.4g/t silver in TLS012). These high grade gold-silver intercepts are associated with an interpreted southward striking early-time channel bore hole anomaly, 3) Exhalite Zone: copper-gold-silver mineralization (2.6m grading 1.7% copper, 1.3g/t gold, 15.1g/t silver in historic hole HAR 085) is interpreted to be located at the southernmost edge of a newly identified, 400m long untested, north trending geophysical anomaly. 4) The North Target: interpreted to be a complex, 1,000m long geophysical conductor associated with multiple anomalies. Two (2) historic shallow drill holes on this target intersected highly anomalous copper values along the "top edge" of large, multiple, strongly conductive buried anomalies.

An internal report prepared by Hudbay Minerals Inc. (HBM: TSX) (see reference to Talbot Report below) was completed on the Talbot Deposit which Solvista is treating as an historic estimate.
