Business Summary
Vista Gold Corporation is engaged, directly and through joint ventures, in the exploration for and the acquisition, development and operation of mineral properties in North and South America. During 2000, the Company's primary mining operation, the Hycroft mine in Nevada, remained shut down pending improved gold prices. However, the Hycroft mine continued to be the principal source of earnings because gold and by-product silver continued to be produced from ore previously placed on the heaps. The Company owns the Amayapampa gold property in Bolivia for which a revised feasibility study was completed in the first quarter of 2000. The Company has approximately 12 additional mineral properties in North and South America covering approximately 123,500 acres (50,000 hectares) in various stages of evaluation. Vista Gold owns a 26% equity interest in Zamora, a Canadian mineral exploration company with interests in mineral concessions in southern Ecuador.
