Panuco Project Updated Mineral Resource Estimate Notes:
- The updated mineral resource was estimated by Allan Armitage, Ph.D., P. Geo. of SGS Geological Services and is an independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Armitage conducted three site visits to the Property: May 29, 2023, November 6 to November 8, 2023, and May 23, 2024.
- The classification of the Updated Mineral Resource Estimate into Measured, Indicated and Inferred mineral resources is consistent with current 2014 CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The effective date for the Updated Mineral Resource Estimate is September 9, 2024.
- All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate and numbers may not add due to rounding.
- All mineral resources are presented undiluted and in situ, constrained by continuous 3D wireframe models (considered mineable shapes), and are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
- Mineral resources are not mineral reserves. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
- The database comprises a total of 979 drill holes for 372,685 metres of drilling completed by Vizsla Silver between November 2019 and September 2024.
- The mineral resource estimate is based on 29 three-dimensional ("3D") resource models, constructed in Leapfrog, representing the Napoleon-Cruz-Josephine area (13 wireframes), Luisa area (3 wireframes), the
Copala -Tajitos-Cristiano area (7 wireframes), Animas (5 wireframes) andSan Antonio (1 wireframe). - Silver, gold, lead and zinc were estimated for each mineralization domain in the Panuco Project. Blocks within each mineralized domain were interpolated using 1.5 metre capped composites assigned to that domain. To generate grade within the blocks, the inverse distance squared (ID2) interpolation method was used for all domains. All estimates are based on variable block dimensions (by deposit area) and estimation search parameters (by domain).
- Average density values were assigned per zone based on 2,293 samples analysed by ALS in
Zacatecas, Mexico or inhouse plus16% standards, duplicates and sample checks. - It is envisioned that the Panuco Project deposits may be mined using underground mining methods. Mineral resources are reported at a base case cut-off grade of 150 g/t AgEq. The mineral resource grade blocks were quantified above the base case cut-off grade, below surface and within the constraining mineralized wireframes.
- The base-case AgEq Cut-off grade considers metal prices of
/oz Ag,$26.00 /oz Au,$1,975 /t Pb and$242 5 /t Zn and considers metal recoveries of$297 693% for silver,90% for gold,94% for Pb and94% for Zn. - The base case cut-off grade of 150 g/t AgEq considers a mining cost of
US /t rock and processing, treatment and refining, transportation and G&A cost of$45.00 US /t of mineralized material.$50.00 - The Updated Mineral Resource Estimate may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
The Company remains well-funded for its 2025 operational objectives including 1) a fully permitted bulk sample test mine program, 2) updated metallurgical test work, 3) delivery of a Feasibility Study and 4) ongoing discovery-based drilling designed to test high priority targets located in the eastern areas of the district. Depending on ongoing exploration success, the Company plans to publish a further update to the Updated Mineral Resource Estimate in the second half of 2025.

Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources
The scientific and technical information in this news release was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 which differs significantly from the requirements of the
You are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Pursuant to CIM Definition Standards, "inferred mineral resources" are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Such geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an indicated mineral resource and must not be converted to a mineral reserve. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
The SEC adopted new mining disclosure rules Pursuant to subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SEC Modernization Rules"). As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources". As an eligible issuer under the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System the Company is exempt from compliance with the SEC Modernization Rules and information regarding mineral resources contained or referenced herein may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies that report according to the SEC Modernization Rules. While the SEC Modernization Rules are purported to be "substantially similar" to the CIM Definition Standards, readers are cautioned that there are differences between the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definitions Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that the Company may report as "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.
