Solvista Gold Corporation Confirms New Gold-Silver Discovery in Colombia

Page 2 of 4

El Oso 1

Drill holes GUD-1208, GUD-1209, GUD-1211 and GUD-1212 were drilled to test the down dip continuity of the high-grade, gold-silver mineralization discovered at surface within the El Oso 1 structural trend (132 samples with a weighted average of 3.29 g/t Au, 59.8 g/t Ag cut to 50 g/t Au and 500 g/t Ag), the northernmost of two discrete structural trends within the El Oso corridor. The four completed drill holes were evenly spaced along the known 750 metre strike length of the El Oso 1 structural corridor, as defined by surface mapping, rock chip geochemical analyses and historic artisanal mining. All of these drill holes intersected significant gold-silver mineralization including 6.24 g/t Au and 5.0 g/t Ag over 0.99 metres in GUD-1209 and 4.39 g/t Au and 4.1 g/t Ag over 2.65 metres in GUD-1211. Interestingly, both of these drill holes also intersected separate, discrete intervals with lower grade gold and high-grade silver such as 3.02 g/t Au and 169.8 g/t Ag over 2.10 metres in GUD-1211. The mineralization is similar in style to El Oso 2, although slightly different geochemically, and remains open both along strike and down dip. This target is also considered a very high priority for additional drilling.

Other Drill Targets

A total of three other targets were partially drill tested in 2012 including the Campo Alegre North target (a high chargeability as well as a number of +1 g/t Au rock chip samples from surface mapping and sampling) where GUD-1204 intersected 7.00 g/t Au and 6.60 g/t Ag over 0.65 metres within 2.42 metres averaging 2.87 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Ag, which appears to be the down dip extension of the higher grade, composite vein and fracture-controlled mineralization seen at surface. Further drilling is recommended in this target area as well.

Table 1 includes all significant intervals of gold-silver mineralization and Table 2 gives drill hole location information. Only intervals with greater than 1 gram/metre gold or 100 grams/metre silver are included. Figure 1 shows the location of the drill holes on an Induced Polarization survey (chargeability) background.
