SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: Vista’s corporate profile and corporate presentation contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws and forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in these materials that address activities, events or developments that Vista expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as our belief that Vista now has all the major environmental approvals necessary for the development of the Mt Todd gold project; our belief that the Mt Todd gold project is a large-scale, economically robust gold project at the current gold price and that it is an attractive undeveloped gold project, our belief in the accuracy of the PFS and that its results will prove true are forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. The material factors and assumptions used to develop the forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include the following: no change to laws or regulations impacting mine development or mining activities, our approved business plans, mineral resource and reserve estimates and results of preliminary economic assessments, prefeasibility studies and feasibility studies on our projects, if any, our experience with regulators, and positive changes to current economic conditions and the price of gold. When used in this corporate profile and corporate presentation, the words “optimistic,” “potential,” “indicate,” “expect,” “intend,” “hopes,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “if,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such factors include, among others, uncertainty of resource and reserve estimates, uncertainty as to the Company’s future operating costs and ability to raise capital; risks relating to cost increases for capital and operating costs; risks of shortages and fluctuating costs of equipment or supplies; risks relating to fluctuations in the price of gold; the inherently hazardous nature of mining-related activities; potential effects on our operations of environmental regulations in the countries in which it operates; risks due to legal proceedings; risks relating to political and economic instability in certain countries in which it operates; uncertainty as to the results of bulk metallurgical test work; and uncertainty as to completion of critical milestones for Mt Todd; as well as those factors discussed under the headings “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Vista’s latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and similar cautionary notes in other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements or forward-looking information; whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Cautionary Note to U.S. investors Concerning Estimates of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves: The estimates of mineral reserves shown in this corporate profile and in Vista’s presentation have been prepared in accordance with the definition standards on mineral reserves of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Mineral Disclosure Standards (“NI 43-101”). The definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. Accordingly, Vista’s disclosure herein may not be comparable to information from U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
