Yellow Pine, Idaho - Located in Valley County, Idaho, this project contains measured and indicated gold resources of 2.2 million ounces and inferred gold resources of 819,000 ounces. The property has excellent potential for expansion laterally and at depth. A preliminary economic assessment completed in December 2006 projects a 10-year mine life (8,600 tpd plant), producing 190,000 ounces of gold per year. Initial capital costs at Yellow Pine were estimated at $150 million. Once in production, the net cash flow to Vista is estimated at $266 million (based on a gold price of $630 an ounce). Vista is planning to begin collecting baseline environmental data for permitting.
