This is not one I own in real life so I don't know it very well... but after a cursory look I've judged it good enough for my CAPS portfolio, and one to watch for a possible real-life investment. It's still very hard to go wrong within the precious metals sector... virtually everything will continue to go up! But that's not to diminish the huge impact that due dilligence has on finding the greatest performers.

Since 2001, Vista has acquired a number of gold projects with the expectation that higher gold prices would significantly increase their value. Vista is undertaking programs to advance the Paredones Amarillos Project, including a definitive feasibility study and the purchase of long delivery equipment items, so that construction can begin during the second half of 2008. The results of a preliminary assessment completed in 2007 on the Mt. Todd Project in Australia were encouraging and additional technical studies are underway with a definitive feasibility study planned for completion by mid-2009. Vista’s other holdings include the Guadalupe de los Reyes Project in Mexico, Yellow Pine Project in Idaho, Awak Mas Project in Indonesia, Long Valley Project in California, and Amayapampa Project in Bolivia.
