Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 12 - Vista Gold Corp. said it will raise $32 million from a private placement of senior convertible notes.

The notes mature in three years and carry a 10% coupon, calculated and payable semiannually. They may be converted into common shares at $6.00 per share.

The company can prepay the outstanding principal and accrued interest at any time after one year, upon payment of one year's additional interest.
