Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2025) - Vizsla Royalties Corp. (TSXV: VROY) (OTCQB: VROYF) ("Vizsla Royalties" or the "Company") congratulates Vizsla Silver Corp.("Vizsla Silver") on the positive results of the Feasibility Study on their flagship Panuco project in Sinaloa, Mexico ("Panuco").

"We are thrilled with the strength of the feasibility study and what it means for Vizsla Royalties royalty on Panuco" stated Michael Pettingell, CEO of Vizsla Royalties. "At an after-tax NPV(5%) of US$1.8 billion and an IRR of 111% at US$35.50 per ounce silver and US$3,100 per ounce gold speaks to the exceptional quality of this district. The study outlines an average annual payable production of 17.4 million silver equivalent ounces over an initial 9.4-year mine life starting in late 2027. This equates to roughly 560,000 Oz AgEq owing to Vizsla Royalties based on it's NSR royalty portfolio covering the Panuco project. What's most important for Vizsla Royalties shareholders is our 3.5% NSR concessions covering 100% of Copala where the highest-grade ore in the largest volumes feeds strong economics early in the mine life. With environmental permits expected in the first half of 2026, the final steps to achieving production are right in front of us. Silver focused precious metals royalties remain scarce, and this feasibility study highlights why Panuco stands out as one of the most compelling pure-play royalty assets in the sector"

Vizsla Silver will be hosting a webcast to discuss the Panuco Project Feasibility Study at 10:00 am PT (1:00 pm ET) on November 24th. To register, please click here.
