**Exhibit 99.1**

**Vista Gold Corp. Announces Closing of US$44.85 Million Public Offering of Common Shares and Full Exercise by the Underwriters of Option to Purchase Additional Common Shares**

**Denver, Colorado, (March 9, 2026)** - Vista Gold Corp. (NYSE American and TSX: VGZ) ("Vista" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced underwritten public offering of 17,940,000 of its common shares, which includes the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase 2,340,000 additional common shares, at a price to the public of US$2.50 per share.

The total gross proceeds to Vista were US$44.85 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commission and other offering expenses payable by Vista.

The Company intends to allocate the net proceeds from the offering to advance exploration and development activities at the Company's Mt. Todd gold project, a development-stage gold deposit in Australia's Northern Territory, and for general corporate purposes.

CIBC Capital Markets acted as the sole bookrunner for the offering and BMO Capital Markets, Raymond James, H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Tamesis Partners acted as co-managers for the offering.

This offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-282706) (including a base prospectus) previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 17, 2024, and declared effective on November 8, 2024. The common shares were offered only by means of a prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus that form a part of the registration statement. A final prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus relating to and describing the terms of the proposed offering of common shares were filed with the SEC. Copies of the final prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus relating to the offering may be accessed for free on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or obtained by contacting CIBC Capital Markets, 161 Bay Street, 5th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 2S8, by telephone: 1(416) 956-6378, or by email: mailbox.usprospectus@cibc.com, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Attn: Brampton Distribution Centre C/O The DATA Group of Companies, 9195 Torbram Road, Brampton, Ontario, L6S 6H2, by telephone: 905-791-3151 Ext. 4312, or by email: torbramwarehouse@datagroup.ca, H.C.

In addition, the offering was made in each of the Provinces of Canada, except for Quebec, in reliance on the "listed issuer financing" exemption from the prospectus requirements available under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – *Prospectus Exemptions*, as modified by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – *Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption*. There is an amended and restated offering document related to the offering (the "Offering Document") that can be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.vistagold.com.

The Company relied upon the exemption set forth in Section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual in connection with the offering, which provides that the TSX will not apply its standards to certain transactions involving eligible interlisted issuers on a recognized exchange.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.
