Description: VGZ Vista Gold November 15, 2025

Vista Gold Corp. (NYSE MKT: VGZ) is a U.S.-incorporated, development-stage mining company focused on gold projects in Australia, with its flagship asset being the wholly-owned Mt Todd gold project in the Northern Territory.

Mt Todd is reported to contain roughly 1.2 million ounces of inferred gold resources, and the project is currently in the advanced exploration phase, targeting a pre-FEASL (pre-Feasibility Study) to define a low-cost, open-pit operation. As of Q3 2024, the company’s market capitalization hovers around $200 million, while the spot price of gold has stabilized near $1,900 per ounce, a level that supports attractive project economics for new Australian mines. The broader Australian gold sector has benefited from a 3-year-average production growth of ~2 % and a favorable fiscal regime, both of which are key drivers for junior developers like Vista Gold.
