Final Drill Holes Completed For Phase One Thira Discovery

VANCOUVER – Vizsla Copper Corp. reported on the Phase 1 drill program at the Thira porphyry discovery, Poplar Project, central British Columbia. The final four drill holes (TH25-144, 145, 146, and 147) of Phase 1 drilling further demonstrate that porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization extends for at least 800 meters east-west and for at least 500 meters north-south. Mineralization remains open in every direction.
Drill hole TH25-145 was collared 200 meters east of discovery drill hole TH25-138 and intersected: 1) 237.3 meters of 0.51% copper equivalent* (CuEq, 0.36% Cu, 0.02% Mo, 1.19 g/t Ag, and 0.06 g/t Au, above a 0.2% Cu cutoff grade) from 117.7 meters down hole, including 77.0 meters of 0.55% copper equivalent* (0.43% Cu, 0.01% Mo, 1.48 g/t Ag, and 0.09 g/t Au, above a 0.4% Cu cutoff grade) from 124.0 meters down hole. Mineralization remains open to the south. Drill hole TH25-144 was drilled to the south from the TH25-138 pad and intersected: 1) 240.0 meters of 0.39% copper equivalent* (0.29% Cu, 0.01% Mo, 1.08 g/t Ag and 0.06 g/t Au, above a 0.2% Cu cutoff grade) from 12.0 meters down hole, including 38.4 meters of 0.53% copper equivalent (0.40% Cu, 0.01% Mo, 1.30 g/t Ag and 0.08 g/t Au, above a 0.3% Cu cutoff grade) from 193.0 meters down hole. Mineralization remains open to the south.
Expanded soil geochemical and IP geophysical surveys are ongoing. The surveys are designed to identify additional porphyry centers and prioritize new drill targets across the ~8 by 2 kilometer, mostly till-covered Thira alteration corridor. Planning is now underway for a significant Phase 2 drill program aimed at further evaluating the potential size and scale of the Thira porphyry-related copper-molybdenum system.
“Thira has delivered a new discovery of shallow, porphyry-related copper mineralization in an infrastructure rich area of BC mining country,” said, Craig Parry, Executive Chairman and CEO. “Congratulations to our technical team on this excellent discovery at a time when the world needs more copper.”
