Highvista Gold Inc. ("Highvista" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:HVV) is pleased
to report that it closed a private placement financing for gross proceeds of
$746,000 through the issuance of 3,820,000 units of the Company at a price of
$0.20 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one
common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share
at an exercise price of $0.25 per share until January 25, 2015. In connection
with the private placement, the Company paid a cash commission of $20,000 and
issued non-transferable compensation warrants entitling the holder to subscribe
for an aggregate of 100,000 common shares at a price of $0.20 per share until
January 25, 2015. The securities comprising the units and underlying the broker
warrants are subject to a statutory hold period that will expire on May 26,
2013.


The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the private placement to fund
exploration of the Company's properties, for administrative expenses and
unallocated working capital. 


In a separate transaction, the Company also amended the terms of its outstanding
promissory note originally issued on April 23, 2012 in the principal amount of
$800,000. The amended and restated note is in the principal amount of $708,196,
extends the maturity date to April 30, 2014 and was amended to grant a general
security interest to the lender over the personal property and assets of the
Company. The lender also purchased 2,500,000 units for an aggregate purchase
price of $500,000 pursuant to the aforementioned private placement. The lender
is a "related party" of the Company for purposes of Multilateral Instrument
61-101. The transactions with the lender are exempt from formal valuation and
minority approval requirements under MI 61-101 and were approved by the
directors of the Company who are unrelated to the lender, with the conflicted
directors abstaining as required by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
