Key Terms

ni 43-101, feasibility study, liDAR, metallurgical recoveries, +4 more

8 terms

ni 43-101 regulatory

"please refer to our Panuco Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study"

A Canadian regulatory standard that sets the rules for how mining and exploration companies must report mineral resources and reserves, requiring technical reports prepared or signed off by an independent, certified expert. It matters to investors because it creates a consistent, transparent “inspection report” for mining projects, making it easier to compare prospects, judge the reliability of claims, and assess geological and financial risk before investing.

feasibility study technical

"Panuco Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study, Sinaloa State, Mexico"

A feasibility study is an assessment that evaluates whether a proposed project or idea is practical and likely to succeed before investing significant time and resources. It considers factors like costs, potential benefits, and challenges, helping stakeholders decide if moving forward makes sense. Think of it as a detailed plan that gauges if a new venture is worth pursuing.

liDAR technical

"surface geological mapping, supported with LiDAR, and near surface drilling"

Lidar, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses laser beams to create detailed, three-dimensional maps of the environment. It works like a sophisticated eye that measures distances by bouncing light off objects, helping machines see and understand their surroundings. For investors, lidar is important because it enables advancements in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and mapping, which can drive innovation and growth in related industries.

metallurgical recoveries technical

"metallurgical recoveries assumed are 92.3% for silver and 93.8% for gold"

Metallurgical recoveries are the percentage of a target metal that is successfully extracted from mined ore during processing and ends up in the final concentrate or product. Higher recoveries mean more saleable metal from the same amount of ore — like squeezing more juice from the same fruit — so they directly affect a mine’s revenue, unit costs and profitability, and are a key metric investors use to judge a project’s economic strength.

iso 9001 technical

"The SGS lab in Durango is ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified."

ISO 9001 is an international standard for a company’s quality management system that sets out how the organization documents and controls its processes to deliver consistent products or services. For investors, certification is like a stamp saying the company follows repeatable, audited procedures—this can lower operational risk, improve efficiency and customer trust, and make performance more predictable over time.

iso/iec 17025 technical

"The SGS lab in Durango is ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified."

An internationally recognized accreditation for testing and calibration laboratories that confirms they produce reliable, traceable results and follow consistent quality controls. Think of it like a professional license for labs: it shows their methods, equipment and staff competence meet independent standards, which matters to investors because accredited test data lowers technical and regulatory risk, supports product claims, and can speed approvals, supplier selection, and market trust.

fire assay technical

"gold was assayed by 30-gram fire assay with atomic absorption ("AA")"

Fire assay is a laboratory process used to accurately measure the amount of precious metals, like gold or silver, in a sample of ore or material. It involves heating the sample intensely to separate the metals from other substances, much like melting and purifying metal to determine its purity. This method is important to investors because it provides precise data on the metal content, helping to assess the value of mining operations or mineral deposits.

atomic absorption technical

"fire assay with atomic absorption ("AA") spectroscopy finish."

A laboratory method that measures how much light free atoms absorb to determine the amount of a specific metal or element in a sample, like checking how much dye is in water by seeing how dark it looks. Investors care because it’s a standard way to test for contaminants, verify raw-material purity, and support regulatory compliance; results can affect product safety, cleanup costs, production quality, and a company’s legal or reputational risk.

"The results from the recently completed Geotechnical drill campaign not only support engineering studies for mine development but also serve as infill holes, validating the exceptional high-grade continuity at Copala", commented Michael Konnert, President & CEO. "Copala continues to impress with higher grades as drill spacing is reduced, particularly within years 1-3 of the feasibility study mine plan. We expect to continue upgrading resources through 2026 via underground drilling at Copala to further de-risk and enhance initial mine production."

The precious metals dominant Copala structure, located in the western portion of the Panuco district, is situated ~800 m to the east of the Napoleon Vein. Copala currently hosts Measured Resources of 41.4 Moz AgEq at 684 g/t AgEq, Indicated Resources of 82.8 Moz AgEq at 600 g/t AgEq and Inferred Resources of 35.5 Moz AgEq at 476 g/t AgEq within a broad envelope of vein-breccia interlayered with host rock, up to 82 metres thick (please refer to our Panuco Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study, Sinaloa State, Mexico, by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC, dated December 2, 2025 and Vizsla's press release dated November 12, 2025). Observations and interpretations conducted by Vizsla geologists indicate that Copala has an average dip of ~46° to the east (~35° in its northern sector and steepening to ~65° in the southern sector).

Exploration and resource focused drilling at Copala have now traced mineralization along ~1,770 metres of strike length and ~400 metres down dip. Furthermore, surface geological mapping, supported with LiDAR, and near surface drilling conducted in 2024 (see press release dated June 26, 2024) led to the discovery of a historic mine adit on surface over the central zone of Copala where the initial years of production have been planned.

The 11 holes reported herein are part of 10,578 m geotechnical campaign comprised of 29 oriented holes completed for engineering studies that were included in Vizsla's recently announced Feasibility Study (please refer to our Panuco Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study, Sinaloa State, Mexico, by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC, dated December 2, 2025 and Vizsla's press release dated November 12, 2025). Nine of the 11 holes intercepted Copala between 15 m or 50 m from previous drill holes and thus can be considered as infill holes. Additionally, eight of these holes intercepted Copala with significant grades, further demonstrating the excellent mineral continuity along the Vein.

Moreover, Vizsla Silver commenced a fully funded and permitted test mine and bulk sample program at Copala on December 11, 2024 (see press release dated December 11, 2024), which is focused on developing an underground ramp ("Morgan" ramp), lateral access and ore extraction from the 460-level on Copala. Development of the Morgan ramp on Copala has now provided Vizsla geologists with strategic positions to start an aggressive (+13k metres) infill drilling campaign designed to upgrade additional resources into the Indicated and Measured categories at Copala and Cristiano. Vizsla commenced its underground infill drilling program from the 480-level of the ramp on December 24, 2025 and plans to add a second rig at the 460-level in due course.
