“This new discovery underscores the strong potential for new wide, high-grade silver and gold mineralization in the Panuco district, which has historically seen limited systematic exploration,” commented Michael Konnert, President & CEO. “Applying the same thesis we used to discover the Napoleon Vein in 2020, historic workings at Animas were used to vector this new mineralization. To date, drilling in the area has been limited, however ongoing geologic interpretation of the localized system suggests both grade and widths may increase at depth. We will evaluate plans to follow up on this exciting discovery with further details to be provided in due course.”

The Animas vein-system is located approximately six kilometres to the northeast of the Copala resource area, emplaced on reactivated northwest- to west-northwest-trending normal fault that dips to the southwest. The Animas system hosts the largest number of historical workings, including the Rosarito and Cuevillas veins with a current inferred resource of 7.01 Moz AgEq (see News Release from January 6, 2025). Animas has a mapped strike length of over 7.2 km and extends from the San Carlos mine in the southeast to the claim boundary in the northwest. To date, ten main mineralized shoots have been exploited along this corridor down to the present water table, with the oldest known workings dating back to the 1500s. Historical references note that the corridor extends beyond the San Carlos mine in the southeast and preliminary interpretations by Vizsla geologists using LiDar and satellite imagery, suggest that the Animas structural trend extends further south into the recently acquired San Enrique prospect (see News Release from April 16, 2024).

The Hunt for Project 2

In late 2024, Vizsla commenced its fully funded +10,000 metre ongoing exploration drill program designed to test multiple veins in five high-priority target areas: Camelia-San Dimas, Animas-Triunfo, Galeana, San Fernando-Nacaral and Jesusita-Palos Verdes. Hole AM-25-90 reported in this news release was drilled at La Pipa target along the Animas vein system (Figure 2). Previous structural interpretations done by Starling in 2019 combined with further work done by Vizsla’s geologists, suggested that Animas is emplaced along a reactivated, Laramide age fault zone that flattens at depth (Figure 3). Further interpretations by Vizsla geologists indicate that silver and gold mineralization may be telescoped (common in other Mexican epithermal vein systems) and that high-grade mineralized shoots could repeat/re-open at depth. Hole AM-25-90 was planned to test that hypothesis and has now confirmed the reappearance of broad high-grade mineralization at depth. The hole intercepted a 14.90 mTW vein package from 118.70 to 138.55 down the hole, that contains the two high grade zones and two low grade subzones with samples reporting 20 to 70 g/t AgEq. Results from this hole confirmed that great potential still exists along the Animas vein system below the historic mines and below the current water table that consistently prevented the historic miners from going deeper. The Company plans to follow up on the La Pipa discovery with additional exploration-delineation stage drilling subject to ongoing exploration success.

Note: AgEq = Ag g/t x Ag rec. + ((Au g/t x Au Rec x Au price/gram)+(Pb% x Pb rec. X Pb price/t) + (Zn% x Zn rec. X Zn price/t))/Ag price/gram. Metal price assumptions are $24.00/oz silver, $1,800/oz gold, $2,424.4/t lead and $2,975.4/t zinc. Metallurgical recoveries assumed are 93% for silver, 90% for gold, 94% for lead and 94% for zinc. Metallurgical recoveries used in this release are from metallurgical test results of the Napoleon vein (see press release dated February 17, 2022).

About the Panuco Project

The newly consolidated Panuco silver-gold project is an emerging high-grade discovery located in southern Sinaloa, Mexico, near the city of Mazatlán. The 7,189.5-hectare, past producing district benefits from over 86 kilometres of total vein extent, 35 kilometres of underground mines, roads, power, and permits.

The district contains intermediate to low sulfidation epithermal silver and gold deposits related to siliceous volcanism and crustal extension in the Oligocene and Miocene. Host rocks are mainly continental volcanic rocks correlated to the Tarahumara Formation.

On January 6, 2025, the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for Panuco which includes an estimated in-situ combined measured and indicated mineral resource of 222.4 Moz AgEq and an in-situ inferred resource of 138.7 Moz AgEq (please refer to Vizsla’s press release dated January 6, 2025).

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The terms "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" used herein are in reference to the mining terms defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards (the “CIM Definition Standards”), which definitions have been adopted by NI 43-101. Accordingly, information contained herein providing descriptions of our mineral deposits in accordance with NI 43-101 may not be comparable to similar information made public by other U.S. companies subject to the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

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 U.S. standards. While the SEC Modernization Rules are purported to be “substantially similar” to the CIM Definition Standards, readers are cautioned that there are differences between the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definitions Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that the Company may report as “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.
