Vizsla Silver Announces High-Grade Results from Copala Project
Vizsla Silver Corp. (NYSE: VZLA, TSX: VZLA) is thrilled to share new discoveries from its Copala resource area at the Panuco silver-gold project in Mexico. The company has recently completed a series of geotechnical drill holes that provide crucial information regarding the mineralization present in this promising location. The results correspond to 29 oriented geotechnical drill holes completed within the Copala, Tajitos, and Napoleon resource areas.
Drilling Campaign Highlights
The highlights from the recent drilling campaign are significant. One of the standout results includes Drillhole CAP-008B, which returned an impressive 1,800 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over a true width of 3.80 meters. This includes high content of 1,284 g/t silver and 7.51 g/t gold, confirming the project's high potential.
Additionally, Drillhole CAP-003A produced remarkable results with 840 g/t AgEq over 6.50 meters true width. This includes several additional noteworthy intersections, reinforcing the continuity and grade of the mineralization. Furthermore, Drillhole CAP-007B showed 424 g/t AgEq over 8.90 meters, providing further evidence of the robust mineralization in the area.
Continuing Exploration and Development
Michael Konnert, President & CEO, commented on the findings, stating, "The recent geotechnical drill campaign not only supports our ongoing engineering studies but also reinforces the high-grade continuity at Copala. As we continue to refine our drilling strategy, we anticipate enhancing our resources even further through underground drilling efforts in the coming year."
Exploration Efforts and Resource Estimates
The Copala structure is located within the western portion of the Panuco district. It currently holds Measured Resources of 41.4 million ounces (Moz) AgEq at 684 g/t AgEq, with Indicated Resources amounting to 82.8 Moz AgEq at 600 g/t AgEq and Inferred Resources consisting of 35.5 Moz AgEq at 476 g/t AgEq. These estimates demonstrate the project's substantial potential, as it sits within a broad envelope of vein-breccia interlayered with host rock.
Moreover, recent geological mapping, coupled with the LiDAR data, has supported the exploration efforts, revealing valuable insights regarding the mineralization. This has led to the identification of a historic mine adit on the surface of the central zone of Copala.
Future Outlook for Vizsla Silver
The ongoing drilling campaign is part of a larger plan for the Panuco project, which recently underwent a comprehensive feasibility study. This study highlights a promising output of 17.4 Moz AgEq per year over an initial mine life of 9.4 years. The projected after-tax Net Present Value (NPV) is estimated at approximately US$1.8 billion, showcasing the viability of the project. The management team remains dedicated to enhancing the mine's efficiency while continuing to engage in district-scale exploration.
Commitment to Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is paramount in Vizsla Silver's operations. The company's drill core samples are shipped to certified laboratories for thorough analysis. Various control samples are systematically included to maintain the rigorous testing standards needed for mining operations. The commitment to quality is reflected in the meticulous handling of samples and results.
