Solvista Commences Drilling for High Grade Massive Sulphide Mineralization at Talbot Property

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 27, 2015) - Solvista Gold Corporation ("Solvista") (TSX VENTURE:SVV) (OTCQX:SVVZF) is pleased to report that a first phase drill program on the Talbot property has commenced. The fully permitted program is planned to include between 10-15 holes totalling approximately 5,000 meters and will focus on four (4) areas within and around the historic, high grade, copper-gold-zinc-silver (Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide or VMS) Talbot Deposit. The objective of the program is to discover, within close proximity to the Talbot Deposit, similar areas of high grade VMS (copper-gold-zinc-silver massive sulphide) mineralization.

The Company plans to test four (4) areas prospective for a high grade VMS discovery: 1) Talbot Deposit: main, footwall and north lenses where conductive extensions were identified by bore hole geophysics, 2) High Grade Gold Lens: several significant high grade historic gold-silver drill intercepts (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) located on strike and south of the Talbot Deposit, are associated with southward striking early-time channel bore hole anomalies, 3) EZ 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 associated at the southernmost edge of a 400m long untested, north trending geophysical anomaly. 4) The North Target: interpreted to be a complex, 1,000m long geophysical conductor that is similar in appearance to the geophysical signature associated with the Talbot Deposit. Only two (2) historic shallow drill holes have been completed on this target intersecting highly anomalous copper mineralization along the "top edge" of large, multiple, strongly conductive buried anomalies.

Assay results from the drilling will be reported to the public once received from TSL Laboratories.

The historic high grade Talbot Deposit is defined as a stratabound, volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit consisting of several lenses of coarse grain to stringer to massive sulphides of pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and pyrrhotite in a quartzofeldspathic gneiss. The depositional environment is similar to that of present and past producing base metal deposits of felsic to mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks in the Flin Flon - Snow Lake Greenstone Belt.
