Highvista Gold Inc. ("Highvista" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:HVV) is pleased
to report on the results of its first drill program at the Alamo Muerto Target
at its 100% owned Canasta Dorada Gold Project, located within the Sonoran Gold
Belt, in Sonora State, Mexico.


"We are very pleased with the results from our first drill program at the Alamo
Muerto Target," said Rick Adams, President and CEO of Highvista. "This target is
large and located along the same structural trend as the neighbouring El Chanate
Mine, which is owned and operated by AuRico Gold Inc. Moreover, the
mineralization and host rock are similar to that found at El Chanate. We have
long believed that the El Chanate mineralization trended onto our concessions,
and this new discovery appears to confirm this."


Alamo Muerto Target

The Alamo Muerto target, located approximately 10 kilometres northwest of, and
on trend with, AuRico Gold's El Chanate Mine, was originally identified through
a reconnaissance surface mapping and sampling program conducted during the third
quarter of 2011. A comprehensive surface mapping and sampling program, conducted
during the first quarter of 2012, confirmed and expanded upon the results from
the initial program. Anomalous gold, silver and copper has been identified over
a surface area measuring approximately 1,600 metres by 1,100 metres. A total of
306 channel samples (1,167 kilograms) were collected from surface outcrops and
from historic underground workings. Several high grade gold, silver and copper
structures were identified within the target area.


This first phase of drilling at Alamo Muerto consisted of three reverse
circulation drill holes totaling 376 meters. The holes were drilled over a
surface area measuring approximately 100 metres by 100 metres. The deepest hole,
CD-12-95, was drilled to a depth of 172 metres at a dip of minus 55 degrees (or
141 metres vertical depth). All three holes intersected the same geological
structure, considered by Management to be the extension of the Chanate Fault.
The southernmost hole, CD-12-94, intersected anomalous gold/silver
mineralization over a 60 metre interval (from 27 metres down the hole). The
higher grade section from this hole is presented in Table 1.

Note: Intervals shown are hole length (true width of mineralization is unknown
at present). Silver/Gold ratio of 50:1 used for gold equivalent grade
(metallurgical recoveries are assumed to be 100%).


Mineralization at Alamo Muerto appears to be primarily hosted within a
steeply-dipping, quartz-sericite altered sandstone containing fresh pyrite.


"We are excited with the latest drill results at Alamo Muerto," said Rick Adams,
President and CEO of Highvista. "We have drilled a 100 metre section of the
Chanate Fault extension and have discovered gold/silver mineralization over
relatively large intervals, where mineralization and host rock are similar to
that found at the neighbouring El Chanate Mine. Our current land package
encompasses more than 15 kilometres of this fault extension, most of which has
never been drill tested."


Subject to available funding, Highvista intends to complete a twenty hole (3,000
metre) Phase 2 drill program at Alamo Muerto in the fourth quarter of 2012.

This press release was reviewed and prepared by Rick Adams, P. Eng., the
President, CEO and a Director of the Company, who is recognized as a Qualified
Person under the guidelines of National Instrument 43-101.


Quality Control - Sample Preparation, Analysis and Security

All samples were recorded and delivered to the ALS Chemex sample preparation lab
in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico by trusted Company personnel or ALS Chemex
employees. Pulps of each sample were prepared in Hermosillo and sent to ALS
Chemex, Vancouver, Canada, an ISO 9001-2000 certified full service laboratory.
Each pulp was analyzed using 30g fire assay for gold with AAS finish (ALS method
Au-AA23), and a nitric aqua regia digestion using conventional ICP-AES analysis
for an additional 35 elements, including silver (ALS method ME-ICP41). Over
limit samples for gold were subject to 30g fire assay with gravimetric finish
(ALS code Au-GRA21) and over limit samples for silver were subjected to an aqua
regia (HNO3-HCl) digestion using conventional ICP-AES analysis (ALS code
Ag-OG46). Highvista implements an Analytical Quality Assurance Program to
control the analytical quality of assays in its exploration work. This program
includes the systematic addition of blank samples and certified standards to
each batch of samples sent for analysis at commercial laboratories. Blank
samples are used to check for possible contamination in laboratories while
certified standards determine the analytical accuracy and precision.


Details of quality assurance/quality control procedures for sample preparation,
analysis and security are reported in detail in the Canadian National Instrument
43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") compliant
Technical Report filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on September 27, 2011 for the
Canasta Dorada Property.
