VIZSLA SILVER EXPANDS COPALA 150 METRES TO THE SOUTH, INTERCEPTING 1,591 G/T AGEQ OVER 5.89 METRES May 10, 2023
Vizsla Silver Corp. ... is pleased to report new drill results from 16 expansion holes targeting the Copala resource area at its 100%-owned, flagship Panuco silver-gold project located in Mexico. The reported results expand the Copala mineralized footprint laterally by ~150m to the southeast.
Highlights | • | CS-23-265 returned 1,591 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over 5.89 metres true width (mTW) (1,403 g/t silver and 4.24 g/t gold) |
| • | Including 4,842 g/t AgEq over 1.62 mTW (4,245 g/t silver and 13.24 g/t gold) |
| • | And 396 g/t AgEq over 4.90 mTW (345 g/t silver and 1.12 g/t gold) |
| • | Including 1,005 g/t AgEq over 1.24 mTW (923 g/t silver and 2.17 g/t gold) |
| • | CS-23-254 returned 2,743 g/t AgEq over 2.14 mTW (1,319 g/t silver and 22.46 g/t gold) |
| • | Including 5,222 g/t AgEq over 1.03 mTW (2,320 g/t silver and 45.40 g/t gold) |
| • | CS-23-269 returned 1,080 g/t AgEq over 1.45 mTW (789 g/t silver and 5.13 g/t gold) hosted within a broader interval grading 512 g/t AgEq over 3.35 mTW |
"Step-out drilling along the southern extent of Copala continues to deliver high-grades over broad widths, beyond the January 2023 resource wireframes," commented Michael Konnert, President & CEO.
"Today's results extend the Copala mineralized footprint by ~150m to the south of previously reported drilling and represents a potential shoot of new mineralization with a vertical profile of ~280m. We currently have four drill rigs targeting Copala, three focused on expanding the current resource base on the south and one exploration rig testing the lateral potential, to the north. With numerous open-ended intercepts containing very high silver and gold grades over large intervals up to 82m thick, the Copala structure remains a primary focus for both resource expansion and exploration ahead of the next resource update planned for the fourth quarter of 2023
