VIZSLA SILVER MAKES NEW HIGH-GRADE DISCOVERY IN THE NORTH EAST OF PANUCO INTERSECTING 897 G/T AGEQ OVER 5.85 METERS INCLUDING 2,256 G/T AGEQ OVER 1.13 METERS
Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) has announced a significant new discovery at its 100%-owned Panuco silver-gold project in Mexico. The discovery was made through hole AM-25-90, located 6 kilometers northeast of the Copala resource area along the Animas Vein system.
Key highlights include:
- Intersection of 897 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq) over 5.85 metres true width
- Including exceptional grades of 2,256 g/t AgEq over 1.13 metres
- Additional high-grade zone of 568 g/t AgEq over 2.60 metres
The discovery is part of Vizsla's ongoing +10,000 metre exploration program targeting five high-priority areas. The Animas system, hosting the largest number of historical workings, extends over 7.2 km and contains ten main mineralized shoots. The new finding suggests potential for high-grade mineralization below historic mines and the current water table.

Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) hat eine bedeutende neue Entdeckung in ihrem zu 100 % im Besitz befindlichen Silber-Gold-Projekt Panuco in Mexiko bekannt gegeben. Die Entdeckung wurde durch das Bohrloch AM-25-90 gemacht, das 6 Kilometer nordöstlich des Ressourcengebiets Copala entlang des Animas-Vein-Systems liegt.
Wichtige Highlights sind:
- Durchschneidung von 897 g/t Silberäquivalent (AgEq) über 5,85 Meter wahre Breite
- Inklusive außergewöhnlicher Gehalte von 2.256 g/t AgEq über 1,13 Meter
- Zusätzliches hochgradiges Gebiet von 568 g/t AgEq über 2,60 Meter
Die Entdeckung ist Teil von Vizslas laufendem Explorationsprogramm von über 10.000 Metern, das fünf hochpriorisierte Gebiete anvisiert. Das Animas-System, das die größte Anzahl historischer Arbeiten beherbergt, erstreckt sich über 7,2 km und enthält zehn Hauptmineralisierungszonen. Der neue Fund deutet auf ein Potenzial für hochgradige Mineralisierung unterhalb historischer Minen und der aktuellen Wasseroberfläche hin.
- High-grade discovery with exceptional silver equivalent grades (897 g/t AgEq over 5.85m)
- Discovery confirms potential for new mineralization zones below historic mines
- Located in established mining area with extensive historical workings
- Fully funded exploration program ongoing
- drilling in the area to date
- Historical water table previously prevented deeper mining exploration
Insights
Vizsla Silver's new high-grade discovery represents a significant technical achievement that validates their exploration model. The intercept of
What makes this discovery particularly valuable is the substantial true width of the mineralization, which suggests potential economic viability far beyond narrow-vein scenarios. The location - 6km northeast of their established Copala resource - demonstrates the district-scale potential of the Panuco project, effectively opening an entirely new zone for resource expansion.
The confirmation that high-grade mineralization exists below historic workings ( by water table) validates Vizsla's geological hypothesis about repeating mineralization at depth. This success using the same targeting methodology that led to their Napoleon discovery in 2020 demonstrates systematic exploration competence rather than chance discovery.
While a single drill hole cannot define a resource, the grade-thickness product here (AgEq × meters) represents the kind of result that can materially affect project economics if subsequent drilling confirms continuity and scale. The multiple high-grade zones within a broader mineralized envelope suggest a robust system rather than an isolated pocket.
This discovery meaningfully enhances Vizsla Silver's growth profile beyond their current
For a company with a
The timing is particularly advantageous as silver trades near multi-year highs, amplifying the economic significance of new discoveries. Companies demonstrating organic resource growth through exploration rather than acquisition typically command premium valuations in the precious metals sector.
What separates this from routine exploration news is the combination of exceptional grades, substantial width, and new zone location. The company's fully funded 10,000+ meter exploration program targeting multiple high-priority areas suggests this discovery could be followed by additional results across their district-scale property. While follow-up drilling is required to establish continuity and scale, this represents a material de-risking event for the exploration thesis at Panuco.

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 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.
Canadian standards, including the CIM Definition Standards and NI 43-101, differ significantly from standards in the SEC Industry Guide 7. Effective February 25, 2019, the SEC adopted new mining disclosure rules under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SEC Modernization Rules"), with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The SEC Modernization Rules replace the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. 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". Information regarding mineral resources contained or referenced herein may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies that report according to
