Vizsla now has seven drill rigs turning at the Copala-Panuco silver gold district in Mexico

Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX-V: VZLA) (OTCQB: VIZSF) (Frankfurt: 0G3) (“Vizsla” or the “Company” – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/vizsla-silver-corp/) is pleased to announce that an additional two drill rigs have arrived to site bringing the total rig count to seven at the Copala-Panuco project (“Panuco” or the “Project”) in Sinaloa, Mexico.

The Company completed over 28,000 metres of drilling at the Project last year and plans to complete over 40,000 metres of diamond drilling in H1 of 2021. The Company is primarily focusing on resource drilling at the Napoleon discovery including systematic 100m centred drilling along the length of the 2.5km long Napoleon vein corridor and advanced drilling at both the Tajitos vein corridor and the Cordon del Oro vein corridor.

CEO Michael Konnert stated, “Vizsla has had success drilling high-grade silver and gold at the Copala-Panuco district. Our goal is to drill a near-term resource at Napoleon, where we recently doubled the depth extension. We will continue to demonstrate the upside at Tajitos and Cordon del Oro and to show that the plethora of other targets across the district have the capacity for high-grade mineralization. The technical team at the Project continues to succeed with the drill bit and we believe the addition of two drill rigs will continue to benefit the Project. We are well funded and now have one of Mexico’s most aggressive exploration programs.”

Currently, Vizsla has the following rig locations:

Napoleon Vein Corridor: Four rigs along the vein with two focused on resource drilling deeper and to the south of Napoleon and two focused on systematic drilling between the Napoleon and Papayo areas

Cinco Senores Vein Corridor: One rig turning at Tajitos, focused on extending the mineralization discovered to date

Cordon del Oro: Two rigs turning, focused on discovery at depth at the Aguita Zarca zone

In addition to the aggressive drilling, the Company is undertaking new methods of discovery at the Project to demonstrate even further regional upside at the district.

The Company has drilled intervals of sub-massive to massive sulphide associated with high grades of precious and base metals.  This mineralization is interpreted to represent a very fertile pulse in the formation of these veins.  The Company is commencing a trial ground electromagnetic (EM) survey in these three areas because if the bodies of massive sulphide are continuous, they may represent strong geophysical targets.  If the program is successful, the Company has a tool for the Napoleon and Cinco Senores zones to specifically target high-grade targets along the broader vein corridors.

The Company will also commence a detailed drone magnetic survey in March to improve mapping and vein interpretations.  Magnetic susceptibility measurements and historic data indicates veins form linear demagnetised corridors through the host rocks which the survey will map with high resolution.

About the Panuco project

Vizsla has an option to acquire 100% of the newly consolidated 9,386.5-hectare Panuco district in southern Sinaloa, Mexico, near the city of Mazatlán. The option allows for the acquisition of over 75 kilometres of total vein extent, a 500 ton per day mill, 35 kilometres of underground mines, tailings facilities, 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.

Stock Options

The Company would like to announce that it has granted 2,138,000 options to directors, officers, employees and consultants at a strike price of $1.50.  They are exercisable for a period of five years and they will vest over the next two years.  They are subject to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
