THIS PRESS RELEASE, REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAWS, IS NOT FOR
DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.


Highvista Gold Inc. ("Highvista" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:HVV) is pleased
to report that it has identified several zones of high grade gold and silver
mineralization at the La Republicana target on its 100% owned Canasta Dorada
Gold Project, located within the Sonoran Gold Belt, in Sonora State, Mexico.


The La Republicana target was identified through a surface mapping and sampling
program conducted during 2011. Anomalous gold and silver has been identified
over a surface area measuring approximately 2,000 metres by 1,000 metres. As
reported in its January 12, 2012 press release, the mineralized structure at the
La Republicana target was intersected in two reverse circulation drill holes
located approximately 650 metres apart. As a follow-up to this drill program,
Highvista completed an extensive rock chip sampling program within the La
Republicana target area. A total of 106 samples (558 kilograms) were collected
from surface outcrops and from historic underground workings. Several zones of
high grade gold and silver were identified (refer to Table 1).

Mineralization at La Republicana consists of a quartz stockwork zone within a
metarhyolite. The mineralized structure is believed to extend to the surface,
both to the north and east, of drill hole CD-11-71. Drill hole CD-11-74, sited
approximately 650 metres to the northwest of drill hole CD-11-71, intersected
what is believed to be the same mineralized structure. Of significant note, rock
chip sample HV-2680 (mass of 3.3 kg, sample width of 0.1 m), collected from an
outcrop located approximately 40 metres to the north of drill hole CD-11-74, is
the highest grade rock chip sample collected to date at the Canasta Dorada
Project. This sample assayed 220 g/t gold and 525 g/t silver, and is believed to
be the same mineralized structure as was intersected in drill hole CD-11-74.


Highvista intends to complete a Phase 2 drill program at La Republicana early in
the second quarter of 2012 to drill test the high grade mineralized zones, to
infill between existing drill holes, and to test for extensions of the
mineralized structure.


Qualified Person

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).


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.
