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


Aurvista Gold Corp. ("Aurvista" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AVA) is pleased
to announce changes to the Senior Management of the Company.


Rick Adams, Director of the Company, as well as a major shareholder, will become
Chairman of the Board, President and CEO. Aurvista's President and CEO, Mr. Guy
Brunet, will step down but will remain as a Board member. The Board would like
to thank Guy for his outstanding services in the establishment of the Company
and the completion of its initial financing.


Mr. Adams is a Professional Engineer who holds an MBA in Finance. He is an
experienced Mining Executive with a proven international track record in due
diligence, finance, development, construction and operation. Mr. Adams is
experienced in gold, nickel, copper, zinc, and diamond mining operations, and
has been employed by, or consulted to, most of the world's largest resource
companies, including Xstrata, AngloGold, Barrick, Placer Dome, Votorantim, INCO,
Falconbridge, Teck-Cominco, Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting, DeBeers and Rio Tinto.
He has worked in executive, operational and consulting roles for companies with
projects in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia and
Africa. Recently, Mr. Adams was a Founder and Director of Castle Gold Corp., a
Central American gold producer which was successfully sold in 2010 for $110
million.


"The Douay property presents an outstanding opportunity for a large-scale gold
discovery and as the Company moves from its formative stages into a more
technical phase, Aurvista has begun to assemble an experienced technical team to
move the Douay Project forward" stated Rick Adams, Aurvista's Chairman,
President and CEO.


Addition to the Technical Team

As a result of the Company's success with and increased focus on the "porphyry"
target (see press release of December 21, 2011), Aurvista is pleased to announce
the addition of Mr. Jean Lafleur to the position of Vice President, Exploration.
Mr. Lafleur is a Professional Geologist with 30 years plus of experience in
various capacities within the mineral exploration industry, including company,
project and property evaluations and audits, project planning and execution,
supervision and management, and resource estimations. He received his B. Sc. and
M. Sc. degrees in Geology from the University of Ottawa, and has been active in
mineral exploration, both in Canada and internationally (Africa, Mexico and
Ecuador), with a wide range of industry-leading companies, such as Newmont,
Falconbridge and Placer Dome. From 1998 to 2003, Mr. Lafleur worked with
McWatters Mining Inc., a Quebec-based junior exploration and mining company, and
was instrumental in the discovery of new ore reserves for the company's gold
projects in the Val-d'Or and Malartic Mining camps, including developing the
bulk gold exploration program at the Canadian Malartic Gold Property which
eventually became Osisko's 10 million ounce Canadian-Malartic Deposit, which
exhibits many similarities to the "porphyry" zone at Aurvista's Douay property. 


"Jean will be instrumental in building out the resource base at the Douay
Project," noted Rick Adams, "and his experience at Osisko's Malartic Deposit
will be of great benefit to Aurvista as we go forward. We are pleased that he
has agreed to join us."
