VIZSLA COPPER INTERSECTS 0.90% COPPER EQUIVALENT OVER 66.1 MVIZSLA COPPER INTERSECTS 0.90% COPPER EQUIVALENT OVER 66.1 METRES IN INITIAL DRILL HOLES FROM ITS ONGOING EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT THE WOODJAM PROJECT, CENTRAL BC Vancouver, British Columbia, September 11, 2023 – Vizsla Copper Corp. (
TSXV: VCU, OTCQB: VCUFF, FRANKFURT: 97E0) (“
Vizsla Copper” or the “
Company”) is pleased to report initial assay results from its summer core drilling program at the Woodjam copper-gold project (the “
Woodjam Project” or “
Woodjam”) in south-central BC.
HIGHLIGHTS Drill holes SE23-101 and 102 at the Southeast zone intersected broad intervals of consistent copper mineralization confirming strong grade continuity in key areas of the deposit. - Drill hole SE23-102:
- Intersected 0.61% copper equivalent (CuEq, 0.54% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 1.84 g/t Ag and 0.005% Mo) over 293.2 m from 136.9 to 430.1m (>0.2% Cu)1,2
- includes a high-grade interval of 0.90% CuEq (0.81% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, 1.89 g/t Ag and 0.005% Mo) over 66.1m from 157.0 to 223.1m (>0.5% Cu)1,2
- Drill hole SE23-101:
- Intersected 0.60% CuEq (0.49% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au, 1.43 g/t Ag and 0.012% Mo) over 131.5 m from 177.0 to 308.5m (>0.2% Cu)1,2
- includes a high-grade interval of 0.76% CuEq (0.64% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au, 1.75 g/t Ag and 0.011% Mo) over 60.0m from 185.0 to 245.0m (>0.5% Cu)1,2
Notes:
- Composite intervals are calculated above noted Cu cutoff grades and may include a maximum of 10m of internal waste.
- Copper equivalent values are based on metal prices of $4.00/lb Cu, $1,800/oz Au, $22/oz Ag and $15/lb Mo.
“
These initial results support our view that Woodjam is an incredibly important copper project in a world that requires an ever-increasing amount of it,” commented Craig Parry, Executive Chairman. “
I look forward to the rest of the results from our inaugural drilling program. With easy access, established infrastructure and an enormous endowment of metal, Vizsla Copper’s Woodjam Project is proving to be an outstanding asset.”
“Long, strong intervals of copper mineralization are a great way to start our first drill program at Woodjam,” commented Steve Blower, Vice President of Exploration
. “I eagerly await assay results from the rest of the program, which includes several drill holes designed to extend mineralization at the Deerhorn and Takom deposits, plus explore new target areas at the Megaton and Megabuck East zones.” The Program High-grade, copper-gold mineralization in and around the over 6-kilometer-long corridor of known porphyry-related mineralization at Woodjam is being targeted by this drill program (Figure 1). Initial drill holes successfully tested gaps in previous drilling at the Southeast deposit and confirmed strong grade continuity (Figure 2). Results from the first three drill holes are highlighted by hole SE23-102, an angled drill hole designed to fill a 120m gap on Figure 3. The hole intersected 0.61% CuEq (0.54% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 1.84 g/t Ag and 0.005% Mo) over 293.2m, including a high-grade interval of 0.90% CuEq (0.81% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, 1.89 g/t Ag and 0.005% Mo) over 66.1m. See Table 1 for additional details on the intersections.
