Aurvista Gold Corporation Doubles the Size of the Douay Gold Project Area by
Staking 294 Mineral Claims
Montreal, Quebec: Aurvista Gold Corporation (“Aurvista” or the “ Company”) ( TSX-V: AVA,
OTCQB: ARVSF; Frankfurt: AV2) is pleased to announce that the Company has staked an
additional 294 mineral claims and added 164.4 km2 surrounding the Company’s Douay Gold Project
(“Douay”). Douay now consists of 573 claims covering ~305 km 2 with extended strike length along
the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt of northern Quebec.
Jean Lafleur, President and CEO of Aurvista, stated: “ We developed a new exploration model in 2016
that has been guiding our exploration efforts at Douay ever since. Exploration work over the past 12
months has led to a number of new gold and base metal targets at Douay. Management felt it was
prudent to take advantage of r ecently abandoned claims and expand the Project’s footprint to a
commanding 305 km 2. As a result, the Company has more than doubled the size of the Douay Gold
Project and increased the exploration upside and potential for new discoveries going forward.”
Aurvista has expanded the Project’s original claim boundary in multiple directions. The Company
plans to complete airborne geophysical coverage and initial ground surveys over the new claims in
the summer of 2017. The figure below highlights the expanded claim ownership at Douay:
