VIVA GOLD ANNOUNCES REPRICING OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT

VANCOUVER, BC - May 23, 2019 - Viva Gold Corp. ("Viva Gold" or the “Company”) (TSX

Venture Exchange: VAU) announces that it has repriced its previously announced non-brokered private

placement (see news release dated April 3, 2019). The private placement is being re -priced to more

accurately reflect the current market price of the Company’s common shares.

The non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") will consist of up to 5,000,000 units (the "Units")

at a new price of CDN$0.30 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to CDN $1,500,000. Each Unit will

consist of one common share in t he capital of the Company (a “Share”) and one whole transferable

common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one

Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.40 per Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

Proceeds will be utilized to advance and perform technical studies on the Tonopah project, including

drilling operations, and for general corporate working capital purposes.

Certain insiders of the Company may acquire Units in the Offering. Any participation by insiders in the

Private Placement would constitute a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral

Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).

However, the Company expects such participation would be exempt from the formal valuation and

minority shareholder approval re quirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Units

subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such insiders, would exceed

25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The Company may pay finder’s fees on a portion of the Offering, subject to compliance with the policies

of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable securities legislation. Closing of the Offering is subject

to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The securities issued under the Offering, and any Shares that may be issuable on exercise of any such

securities, will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of

issuance of such securities.

Correction to Viva’s May 21, 2019 Press Release

The line shown in t he Pit-Confined Mineral Resource table in our May 21 , 2019 press release was

incorrectly calculated and the Measured and Indicated should have read 253,000 ounces at a grade of

0.89 g/t Au resulting in a 36% increase.
