Viva Gold Launches New Drilling Phase at Nevada’s Tonopah Project

Viva Gold ( (TSE:VAU) ) has provided an announcement.

Viva Gold Corp has begun a 2,500-metre reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Tonopah Gold Project in Nevada, targeting the conversion of inferred mineralization to measured and indicated categories and closing gaps around the planned pit area defined in its June 2025 economic study. The program also includes drilling at the Midway Hills prospect to confirm historical 1988 discovery holes, with results feeding directly into an ongoing pre-feasibility study aimed at de-risking the project and moving it toward formal permitting and potential development.

Management says the coordinated drilling and study work is intended to demonstrate further resource growth while maintaining disciplined capital use and a clear development pathway. The initiative underscores Viva’s efforts to strengthen Tonopah’s economic case and solidify its position in Nevada’s competitive gold mining sector, with updates to follow as assay results are received.
