EXHIBIT 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On October 18, 2013, Vista Gold Corp. (the “Company”) completed the sale of its Los Cardones gold project located in Baja California Sur, Mexico to Invecture Group S.A. de C.V and RPG Structured Finance S.a R.L. (the “Purchasers”) for US$13,000,000. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of income/(loss) are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company.  The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 gives effect to the sale as if it had occurred on that date.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income/(loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 assume that the sale had been completed January 1, 2012.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of income/(loss) should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical financial statements, including the notes thereto, of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012

The preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is based on financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations would have been had the transaction occurred on the respective dates assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operating results.  However, the pro forma adjustments reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information represent estimates and assumptions that the Company’s management believes to be reasonable.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1) Adjustments to reflect the sale of the Los Cardones gold project, including the i) cash proceeds of $7,000,000 received at closing, ii) the $6,000,000 second payment due in January 2014 at the Purchasers option; iii) transfer of assets and liabilities to the Purchasers; and iv) estimated transaction costs; and estimated gain on disposition.  If the Purchasers elect not to make the $6,000,000 second payment, the Company will retain the $7,000,000 already received and 100% of the Los Cardones gold project will be returned to Vista. The effects of income tax are not expected to be material. The actual after-tax gain will be determined as of October 18, 2013, the closing date, and could be materially different from the estimate.

2) Adjustments to eliminate the Los Cardones gold project assets and liabilities from Vista’s historical net assets as a result of the disposition of the project.

3) Adjustments to eliminate the Los Cardones gold project expenses form Vista’s historical results of operations as a result of the disposition.
