Methodology: Range is calculated using 30-day realized volatility via geometric Brownian motion (log-normal model). 68% band = ±1σ, 95% band = ±2σ. This is a statistical model, not a prediction. Past volatility does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.

Investor takeaway: Investors should be cautious as Viva Gold's stock struggles, even amidst promising exploration results.

With a market cap of approximately CA$30 million, the drop in stock price reflects a significant loss of investor confidence.

Bull case

The recent discovery of a high-grade gold zone at the Tonopah Project could improve the company's future prospects if further assays confirm these initial findings.

Bear case

The current stock drop suggests that investors may doubt the company's ability to turn exploration successes into real financial returns, especially since there are no immediate financial metrics to back up the optimism.
