Viva Gold Corp. Common Shares Now DTC Eligible

VANCOUVER, BC – October 1st, 2018 – Viva Gold Corp. (TSX-Venture: VAU; OTCBB:

VAUCF) (the “Company” or “Viva”) is pleased to announce that common shares of Viva Gold are now

Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) eligible in the United States. This electronic method of clearing

securities speeds up the receipt of stock and cash, reduces costs, and boost efficiencies in the marketplace.

Additionally, being DTC eligible increases the number of brokerage firms able to trade the stock, as many

brokerages do not allow the trading of non DTC eligible stocks due to the associated costs. The Company

believes this will provide improved liquidity for existing shareholders and new investors alike.

Viva Gold is a gold exploration and development company with a focus on Nevada. Viva holds 100% of

the Tonopah Gold Project, a large land position with demonstrated high-grade measured, indicated and

inferred gold resources, located on the prolific Walker Lane Trend in Nevada, 30 kilometers south-east of

the Round Mountain mine of Kinross Gold and 20 kilometers from the Town of Tonopah. Viva’s

management team has extensive experience in mining exploration, development and production and are

supported by a Board of Directors and advisors who are proven mine finders, deal makers and financiers.

Viva has 17.8 million shares outstanding and trades on the TSX-V “VAU”, on the OTCBB in the US

“VAUCF” and on the Frankfurt exchange under the symbol “7PB”. For additional information on Viva

Gold and the Tonopah Gold Project, please visit our website: www.vivagoldcorp.com.
