Aurvista Gold Appoints Jean Lafleur as President and CEO

30.10.2014  |  Newsfile

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2014) - Aurvista Gold Corp. (TSXV: AVA) ("Aurvista" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Jean Lafleur, M.Sc., P. Geo., as President and CEO of the Company, effective immediately.

Mr. Lafleur is a graduate of the University of Ottawa with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Geology, and previously held the position of VP Exploration for Aurvista from January 2012 to April 2014. Mr. Lafleur orchestrated the exploration drive to advance the bulk gold potential of the Douay Gold Project.

Mr. Lafleur has 30 plus years of experience in mineral exploration across several continents, where he has been instrumental in leading exploration teams to discovery and development, including bulk gold deposits in Nova Scotia, and the Quebec and Ontario segments of the Abitibi Belt (Timmins, Malartic and Val-d'Or). As a senior geologist, Director and executive of several junior mineral exploration companies since 2003, Mr. Lafleur has been a leading figure in early and late stage junior exploration companies. Mr. Lafleur has contributed to the advancement of these companies through marketing and financing as well as actively overseeing gold deposits from early to late exploration stages.

Jean is a Professionnal Geologist with l'Ordre des Géologues du Québec ("OGQ") and is a Qualified Person under National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 regulations.

Jean Lafleur stated "I'm extremely delighted to be back at Aurvista on a full-time basis, where we have previously defined more than 3 million ounces of gold. I firmly believe that the Douay Gold Project offers potential to increase gold resources and their quality. The 20 kilometre long property, of which less than 5 kilometres has been reasonably tested, contains multiple segments of the Casa Berardi South Break similar in "Camp" scale to the Cadillac Break between Val-d'Or and Malartic. The metallogenic context offers more gold mineralization possibilities that will be fully investigated in the next year. My main focus will be to bring Aurvista to its fair market value over time just as other companies have done or are doing at this time with similar projects in the region."

Mr. Lafleur has been granted an aggregate of 500,000 stock options to purchase common shares of the Company exercisable at a price of $0.12 per share for a period of 3 years. The options are priced above the current trading price of Aurvista shares on the TSX-V to demonstrate the Board's ongoing commitment to creating shareholder value. These incentive options, as well as the terms and conditions of their exercise, are governed by the Company's Stock Option Plan which is in accordance with policies within the TSX Venture Exchange.

Aurvista is presently focused on the engineering and permitting processes to assess the potential and the economics of bringing the Douay West Zone into production. The Company has committed to a budget of $917,000 in rock slope engineering, overburden investigation and slope design, hydrogeological investigation, environmental baseline testing, metallurgy, mineral resource infill drilling, resource estimations and both open pit and underground development modeling.
