Enhancing Project #1:
Vizsla Silver exploration approach and programs completed to date have resulted in a significantly improved geologic understanding of the district and have successfully defined multiple layers of exploration upside radiating out from the current center of mass in the west. This center of mass, referred to as Project 1, hosts ~
Project #1 upside potential supported by a recently completed ground HLEM survey consists of 1) expansions to open resources on known structures within the
Resource Extension Targets:
- The Copala structure remains open down-dip in the south and along strike to the north. Additionally, the recent discovery of the historic
Copala adit and near surface high-grade mineralization intercepted below it, there exists potential for additional high-grade shoots extending to surface along strike to the south. - Napoleon HW4 is a shallow dipping vein that splays off to the east from the main Napoleon Vein. Drilling to date, targeting Napoleon Main has reported multiple high-grade intercepts along HW4 that support potential future resource expansion down dip to the east.
- La Luisa remains open at depth and along strike to the southeast and to the north in the 400-metre gap zone. Updated geologic modelling and observed metal ratios suggest two potential new feeder zones at depth that warrant future drill-testing.
- Cruz Negra is a relatively narrow (1.20 mTW on average), gold-rich vein trending northwest that splays off from the Josephine Vein (situated to the west and parallel to Napoleon). Open-ended intercepts completed in 2022 suggest that mineralization continues to the northwest in the direction of the Alacran Vein in the northwest. This 500-metre gap between drilling completed at Cruz Negra in the southeast and
Alacran in the northwest hosts potential for near surface resource expansion.
Proximal Targets:
- Colorada-Napoleon intersection is a conceptual target located at the projected intersection of the
Copala fault and the northern extent of Napoleon, where geologic conditions suggests good structural preparation within in favorable host rock. This is further supported by preliminary AI and Machine Learning analysis completed by VRIFY. Additionally, the recently completed, frequency-domain ground HLEM geophysical survey has revealed multiple conductor anomalies. Some of these anomalies that deviate from trends coincide with mapped vein traces or vein projections. Vizsla Silver's team is analyzing the geophysical data to plan additional exploratory drilling in this area. - 4 de Mayo is a set of narrow subvertical veins trending northwest located 1.0 km to the west of La Luisa, where exploratory drilling has reported high-grade silver intercepts close to surface. The 4 de Mayo veins show strong pinch and swell characteristics but remain open to the south and at depth. Ground HLEM geophysics has identified a series of compelling anomalies along and south of the 4 de Mayo vein system, supporting the case for follow-up exploration drilling.
- San Jack and San Peter are two parallel structures that show subtle quartz veining and strong hydrothermal alteration on surface. These structures are located 2.5 km west of Napoleon and 1.5 km west of La Luisa, in the southwest dipping, western block of the district. Extrapolation of our working exploration model applied at Napoleon and La Luisa suggests that the top of vein mineralization could occur below the rhyolite tuff – andesite contact, approximately 200 metres below surface. HLEM geophysics defined conductor anomalies over San Jack and San Peter, making these two vein targets appealing.
- The Esmeralda-Tecolote target comprises two newly mapped epithermal veins. Sampling results and observed vein textures indicate a high-level position within the epithermal system, supporting future drill testing.
The Hunt for Project #2:
Beyond expanding resources and testing targets which complement Project #1 in the west, Vizsla Silver is committed to finding additional mineralized centers in the central and east areas of the district. Supporting evidence for multiple mineralized centers includes intrusions of varying age and composition, the widespread presence of dikes and domes, extensive hydrothermal alteration across the district, >150 known vein prospects, and geochemical data indicating distinct ages of mineralization at
Since consolidation of the
For the remainder of 2025, Vizsla Silver will continue its ongoing fully funded +25,000 metre exploration drill program designed to test vein extensions and geophysical anomalies at Colorada North, Napoleon –
Other district wide exploration initiatives planned for Q4 2025 include a time domain Electro Magnetic (TEM) survey, airborne geophysical survey on over 1,000-line km with flight lines oriented NE-SW at 100 m line-spacing and NW-SE oriented tie-lines at 500 m spacing. Data from these surveys will be combined with existing geological, geochemical, alteration, and WorldView-III multispectral datasets to refine exploration targeting and guide the search for new zones of mineralization.
District Targets:
Notable targets to be tested in the central, and east area of the district with potential to host similar mineral resources to that outlined in Project #1 in the west include:
- La Pipa is a high-grade shoot discovered this year along the proliferous 7-km long Animas vein system. The company plans to drill +8,000 metres on Animas to follow up on the recent discovery and to explore for additional high-grade shoots in the area.
- Camelia-
San Dimas area consists of two almost vertical subparallel veins in the Camelia trend and the high-grade, flat lying and east dipping San Dimas Vein. - San Fernando-Nacaral are two parallel veins with significant silver anomalies on surface. More importantly, geologic mapping suggests that exposed outcrops of the veins occur proximal to the paleosurface, thus providing great potential at depth.
- El Roble, Oregano and La Wicha are NW trending veins located on the eastern side of the Project. Previous mapping and rock geochemistry on these veins suggest high elevation in the vein system and therefore warrant additional exploration drilling.
- Jesusita-Palos Verdes is a northeast trending vein target in the east area of the district. Positive drill results and alteration-based interpretations done by Prismo Metals, combined with significant silver anomalies on surface and extensive vein outcrops warrant additional drilling at depth.

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
