[{"type":"text","content":"\nTwo New Gold Zones Discovered on the Douay Gold Project\n\n(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nMontreal, Quebec - May 3, 2013: Aurvista Gold Corporation (\"Aurvista\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: AVA) is pleased to report the completion of the first two stages of the 2013 diamond drill program totaling 11,046 meters in 31 drill holes at the Company's Douay Gold Project in northern Quebec in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.\n\n \n \nKey highlights of the South Porphyry drilling include:\n\n \n \n-Two new gold zones were discovered within the South Porphyry, which extends 1.5 kilometers south of the Main Porphyry:\n\n\n \n-The first zone was encountered in two drill holes: DO-13-120 yielded 0.38 g/t gold over 98.0 meters (including 8.56 g/t over 1.5 meters); DO-13-122 intersected 1.10 g/t gold over 28.5 meters (including 17.45 g/t gold over 1.5 meters); and \n\n\n \n-The second zone, located 50 meters south of the first zone, yielded 5.07 g/t gold over 4.5 meters in DO-13-122.\n\n \n \n-The \"20\" Zone, an eastern extension of the South Porphyry, was extended 400 meters further to the east. Two diamond drill holes intersected this eastern extension: DO-13-110 intersected 0.34 g/t gold over 110.0 meters, including an enriched interval of 0.78 g/t gold over 23.0 meters; DO-13-112 intersected 0.27 g/t Au over 102.5 meters.\n\n \n \nPhase 1 of the drilling consisted of 15 drill holes totaling 5,319 meters and tested the underexplored South Porphyry, including the eastern extension of the \"20\" zone into the South Porphyry. Phase 2 contained 9 drill holes totaling 2,697 meters which tested the eastern and western extension of the Main Porphyry outside the porphyry limits. Phase 2 also consisted of 7 drill holes totaling 3,033 meters and concentrated on in-fill drilling the central portion of the Main Porphyry. To date, the Company has received full assay results for the South Porphyry's 15 drill holes. \n\n \n \nMr. Richard Adams, President and CEO of Aurvista stated \"The results to date are deemed highly successful. Our 2013 exploration program continues to prove up our belief that the Douay Project is a large low grade envelope containing high grade sections. Drilling has shown a dissemination and gold vein potential inside the 1.5 kilometer long South Porphyry ,which is an extension of the Main Porphyry, including cross cut gold-bearing stru...
