<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">During the quarter,
we completed <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">grinding and leaching tests indicating that gold recoveries exceeding 90% may
be achieved for the Mt Todd gold project, depending on final grind size. &nbsp;These tests of the second stage grinding circuit
suggest that the Mt Todd ore can be ground to a finer final product size with lower power consumption than previously estimated.&nbsp;
Leaching the finer final product size material again confirmed higher recoveries at finer grind sizes. Based on these initial results,
Vista has commenced additional testing to: (a) confirm results over a broad range of feed grades, (b) justify design changes and
(c) support a possible update of the project economics.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Frederick H. Earnest, President and Chief
Executive Officer, commented, &ldquo;We are excited about the potential for the gold recovery improvements at Mt Todd, indicated
by the test results announced this quarter. Based on those results we are now targeting a gold recovery greater than 90% as compared
to 86.4% estimated in our January 2018 PFS. We believe these improved recoveries can be achieved without any increase in power
consumption or capital costs. We estimate that each 1% improvement in gold recovery adds about 0.5% to Mt Todd&rsquo;s after-tax
IRR, and about $25 million to after-tax NPV<SUB>5.</SUB> To advance our testing <FONT STYLE="color: #292B2C; background-color: white">of
the second stage grinding circuit to feasibility level, we are conducting additional fine grinding tests on samples representing
a variety of ore types from Mt Todd and covering a range of head grades. These grinding tests will be followed by leaching tests
to determine expected recoveries for a range of ore grades at various finer grind sizes.&nbsp; The tests will also provide </FONT><FONT STYLE="color: #292B2C">further
data regarding the power requirements and grinding media consumption. <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">This is a continuation
of our strategy to add value at a relatively low cost. </FONT></FONT>While we believe that the Mt Todd project demonstrates significant
value at today&rsquo;s gold price, we are committed to achieving greater shareholder value that will accrue from our ongoing optimization
work and improved market conditions.&rdquo;</P>

&ndash; Vista Gold Corp. (TSX &amp; NYSE American: VGZ) (&ldquo;Vista&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) today announced its
unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. Management&rsquo;s quarterly conference call to discuss

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We reported a net loss of $2.1 million
or $0.02 per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The loss is comprised of $1.9 million of operating expenses,
a $0.3 mark-to-market loss on our investment in Midas Gold Corp., offset by other income of $0.1 million.</P>

totaled approximately $15.0 million, including cash and short-term investments (comprised of government securities) of approximately
$10.2 million. The Company currently has no debt.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">During the quarter,
we completed <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">grinding and leaching tests indicating that gold recoveries exceeding 90% may
be achieved for the Mt Todd gold project, depending on final grind size. &nbsp;These tests of the second stage grinding circuit
suggest that the Mt Todd ore can be ground to a finer final product size with lower power consumption than previously estimated.&nbsp;
Leaching the finer final product size material again confirmed higher recoveries at finer grind sizes. Based on these initial results,
Vista has commenced additional testing to: (a) confirm results over a broad range of feed grades, (b) justify design changes and
(c) support a possible update of the project economics.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Frederick H. Earnest, President and Chief
Executive Officer, commented, &ldquo;We are excited about the potential for the gold recovery improvements at Mt Todd, indicated
by the test results announced this quarter. Based on those results we are now targeting a gold recovery greater than 90% as compared
to 86.4% estimated in our January 2018 PFS. We believe these improved recoveries can be achieved without any increase in power
consumption or capital costs. We estimate that each 1% improvement in gold recovery adds about 0.5% to Mt Todd&rsquo;s after-tax
IRR, and about $25 million to after-tax NPV<SUB>5.</SUB> To advance our testing <FONT STYLE="color: #292B2C; background-color: white">of
the second stage grinding circuit to feasibility level, we are conducting additional fine grinding tests on samples representing
a variety of ore types from Mt Todd and covering a range of head grades. These grinding tests will be followed by leaching tests
to determine expected recoveries for a range of ore grades at various finer grind sizes.&nbsp; The tests will also provide </FONT><FONT STYLE="color: #292B2C">further
data regarding the power requirements and grinding media consumption. <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">This is a continuation
of our strategy to add value at a relatively low cost. </FONT></FONT>While we believe that the Mt Todd project demonstrates significant
value at today&rsquo;s gold price, we are committed to achieving greater shareholder value that will accrue from our ongoing optimization
work and improved market conditions.&rdquo;</P>

Mt Todd ore can be ground to a finer final product size with lower power consumption than previously estimated; our estimate that
</FONT>each 1% improvement in gold recovery adds about 0.5% to Mt Todd&rsquo;s after-tax IRR, and about $25 million to after-tax
NPV<SUB>5; </SUB>our plans to advance our testing <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">of the second stage grinding circuit to
feasibility level, followed by leaching tests to determine expected recoveries for a range of ore grades at various finer grind
sizes; our expectation that these tests will also provide </FONT>further data regarding the power requirements and grinding media
consumption; our belief that the Mt Todd project demonstrates significant value at today&rsquo;s gold price, and that greater
shareholder value will accrue from our ongoing optimization work and improved market conditions; and our belief that Mt Todd is
the largest undeveloped gold project in Australia are forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. The material
factors and assumptions used to develop the forward-looking statements and forward-looking information contained in this press
release 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, preliminary feasibility
studies and feasibility studies on our projects, if any, our experience with regulators, our experience and knowledge of the Australian
mining industry and positive changes to current economic conditions and the price of gold. When used in this press release, the
words &ldquo;optimistic,&rdquo; &ldquo;potential,&rdquo; &ldquo;indicate,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;intend,&rdquo; &ldquo;hopes,&rdquo;
&ldquo;believe,&rdquo; &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;will,&rdquo; &ldquo;if,&rdquo; &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; 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&rsquo;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 &ldquo;Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements&rdquo; and &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo;
in the Company&rsquo;s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 6, 2018 and 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.&nbsp;</FONT></P>
