Aurvista Gold Corporation Forms Technical Advisory Committee - Seite 2

Jean Lafleur: Jean will be transitioning from his current position as the Company's VP, Exploration and has accepted reassignment to join the Company's Technical Advisory Committee. During his time with McWatters Mining Inc., Mr. Lafleur was instrumental in the discovery of new ore reserves for the company's gold projects in the Val-d'Or and Malartic Mining camps, including developing the bulk gold exploration program at the Canadian Malartic Gold Property. Jean's extensive experience working in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt and intimate knowledge of the Douay Gold Project will be a major asset to the Committee.

Aurvista's President and CEO, Matthew Hornor, stated: "I would like to personally thank Jean Lafleur for all of his hard work and dedication over the years in various leadership positions. He has done an admirable job leading exploration and will continue to be a key contributor as we shift to a committee-approach to integrate some of the brightest minds in the industry into our exploration planning and strategy going forward." Hornor added, "I would also like to acknowledge the board members that are retiring or stepping down as of August 15, 2017. Thank you to Jean Lafleur, Bryan Keeler and Robert A. Mitchell for your service and contributions as directors of the Company."
