[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nDENVER, Dec. 10, 2013 /CNW/ - Vista Gold Corp. (\"Vista\" or the \"Company\") (NYSE MKT and TSX: VGZ) announced that the Northern Territory Environmental Protection Agency (\"NT EPA\") has recently requested additional information with respect to the final Environmental Impact Statement (\"EIS\") for its Mt. Todd gold project. Vista is currently reviewing the request for additional information and evaluating how best to respond. Vista will provide an update on the timing for anticipated approval of the EIS when it is reasonable to do so. \nVista's President and CEO, Mr. Fred Earnest, commented, \"The NT EPA has invoked their right to request additional information prior to the expiration of the 35-day final EIS review period. While this represents a delay in the approval of the Mt. Todd EIS, we do not expect a lengthy delay. The Mt. Todd gold project is a large project and the final EIS is a very comprehensive document with supporting information that include the technical engineering reports prepared for the June 2013 preliminary feasibility study. We are confident that most of the information requested by the NT EPA is readily available in the existing documentation. Given the past history of the Mt. Todd mine site, we are respectful of the NT EPA's desire to ensure that any issues are appropriately addressed. We look forward to working with the NT EPA to provide the requested information and are confident that we can work together to achieve the successful approval of the EIS.\"\nAbout Vista Gold Corp.\nVista's principal assets include its flagship Mt.
