Aurvista Gold Corporation Secures DTC Eligibility

Montreal, Quebec: Aurvista Gold Corporation (“Aurvista” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: AVA, OTCQB:

ARVSF; Frankfurt: AV2) announces that the company has secured DTC Eligibility by The Depository Trust

Company for its shares on the OTC effective March 13, 2017. The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is a

subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation DTCC, and manages the electronic clearing and

settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled

through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible." This electronic method of clearing securities speeds up the

receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for investors trading the Company’s shares

on the OTCQB.

eligibility. Securing DTC-eligibility greatly simplifies the process of trading and exchanging our common stock in

the United States. We would like to thank our transfer agent, Vstock Transfer, for their guidance through this

process. We look forward to keeping our shareholders up to date with progress at the Company’s Douay Gold

Project in the weeks and months ahead."
