During the quarter under review, Vista reported a net income of $1.6-million, or $0.02 a share, inclusive of $1.7-million of net operating expenses and an unrealised $3.3-million mark-to-market gain on its Midas investment.
“Our working capital at June 30, 2017 totalled approximately $23.6-million, including cash and short-term investments (comprised of government securities) of approximately $20.2-million,” stated Vista in a note to shareholders on Monday.

Mt Todd is Vista’s flagship project and is the largest undeveloped gold project in Australia.
