Viva Gold Makes Major New High-Grade Gold Discovery at Midway Hills at the Tonopah Gold Project in Nevada (TheNewswire)   Viva  intercepts 0.89 g/t Gold and 6.78 g/t silver over 38.1 meters including 6.1 meters averaging 3.56 g/t Au and 22.45 g/t Ag from 179.8 meters below prior drilling.   Highlights New gold zone discovered at Midway Hills, ~1,400 m northwest of the main Tonopah resource: drillhole TG2616 returned 38.1 m of 0.89 g/t gold and 6.78 g/t silver, including 6.1 m of 3.56 g/t gold and 22.45 g/t silver from 179.8 m depth.  A new target type at Tonopah— the intercept sits entirely within the Palmetto Argillite (OPA), ~27 m below the volcanic contact and beneath historic drilling.  Open at depth and along strike— anomalous gold continues to the bottom of TG2616, with assays pending for two step-out holes ~100 m east and west.  Drill-ready— the target lies within the existing Exploration Plan of Operations, allowing follow-up drilling to be approved on an accelerated basis, while Tonopah advances through a pre-feasibility study.    VANCOUVER, BC – July 1, 2026 – TheNewswire - Viva Gold Corp (TSXV: VAU; OTCQB: VAUCF) (the “Company” or “Viva”) is pleased to announce that it has made a major new gold discovery in the Midway Hills portion of its Tonopah Gold Project (“Tonopah,” or the “Project”).
