[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viva Gold Corp. (TSX-Venture: VAU; OTCBB: VAUCF) (the “Company” or “Viva”) is pleased to announce assay results for the first four drillholes in its 2018-2019 winter reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program at its Tonopah Gold Project located near Tonopah, Nevada. Drill Result Highlights TG 1816: 4.6 meters from 108.2 to 112.2 meters depth at 6.05 grams/tonne (“g/t”) including 1.5 meters at 16.4 g/t. TG 1816 was drilled between the Discovery and 121 structural zones in an undrilled gap between the zones. TG 1817: 45.7 meters from 143.3 to 189 meters depth at 2.2 g/t including 13.7 meters at 5.1 g/t. TG1817 was drilled as a western extension of the 121 structural zone. TG 1818: 12.2 meters from 21.3 to 33.5 meters depth at 0.9 g/t and 3.0 meters from 71.6 to 74.7 meters depth at 46.1 g/t, including 1.5 meters at 84.9 g/t. TG1818 was drilled to the east across the south extension of the Discovery fault, further extending the known strike of that structure. TG 1819: 18.6 meters intercepted mineralization between 53.3 meters and 100.6 meters depth in three zones at an average grade of 0.8 g/t including 3 meters at 1.9 g/t. TG1819 was drilled at the north end of a gap between the Dauntless zone and the 63-77 zone. Viva has now completed 8 drill-holes in its current RC drill program. Samples for the remaining four holes have been submitted for assaying. “We are extremely pleased with the results of these initial four drill holes. The goal of this program is to infill known gaps in the existing drilling at the Tonopah project and to confirm extensions to known mineralized structures. These four holes have been successful in meeting this goal. We believe that the successes we are seeing in this overall program will significantly improve confidence in the resource and should add a substantial number of contained ounces to our estimated resource base, ultimately increasing the Tonopah gold resource to our goal of 1.0 million contained ounces,” states James Hesketh, President & CEO.
