Recent Company History

Over the last few months, Vizsla’s news flow has focused on security incidents at Panuco and major project de‑risking steps. Security updates on Jan 29, Mar 5, and Apr 6 coincided with negative price reactions. In contrast, positive project milestones like the EPCM and mine design awards on Apr 23 also saw shares decline. Against this backdrop, today’s corporate secretary change represents a routine governance update rather than a shift in project or security fundamentals.
