Vizsla Silver Unveils High-Grade Geotechnical Drilling Results at Copala Project
Vizsla Silver Corp., a prominent name in mineral exploration headquartered in Vancouver, recently made notable headlines with its report detailing significant geotechnical drilling results from their flagship Panuco project located in Mexico. The findings stem from a series of 11 geotechnical drill holes focused on the Copala resource area, part of a comprehensive drilling campaign conducted between May and August of 2025.
Key Highlights of the Findings
The results released detail the depths and grades of the intercepted silver and gold across multiple drill holes, emphasizing the robust continuity and high-grade mineralization present in the area. Some standout findings include:
- - DDH-CAP-008B: This drill hole returned a remarkable 1,800 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over a true width of 3.80 meters.
- - DDH-CAP-003A: Achieved 840 g/t AgEq across 6.50 meters, with some segments exhibiting even higher concentrations of 1,219 g/t over 0.91 meters.
- - DDH-CAP-007B: Detected 424 g/t AgEq over an 8.90-meter stretch, showcasing the presence of significant silver and gold concentrations.
The firm's President and CEO, Michael Konnert, expressed enthusiasm about these findings, noting that the geotechnical drilling campaign not only paves the way for critical engineering studies but also accelerates resource validation at Copala. The exceptional high-grade continuity demonstrated by the results particularly shines as drill spacing decreases in the early years of the feasibility study mine plan.
The Strategic Importance of Copala
The Copala structure is strategically positioned in the western portion of the Panuco district, just around 800 meters from the Napoleon Vein. The drilling efforts have revealed:
- - Measured Resources: 41.4 million ounces (Moz) AgEq at 684 g/t
- - Indicated Resources: 82.8 Moz AgEq at 600 g/t
- - Inferred Resources: 35.5 Moz AgEq at 476 g/t
These resources are enveloped within a broad vein-breccia geological structure with thicknesses reaching up to 82 meters. Such dimensions are promising for the anticipated underground mining endeavors planned by Vizsla as part of their ongoing resource-focused operational strategy.
Plans Moving Forward
Vizsla's plans extend well into 2026, with intentions to further upgrade resources and de-risk the production phases through extensive underground drilling at Copala. As previously detailed, the recent geotechnical campaign is part of a larger effort that encompasses 10,578 meters of drilling, reinforcing the viability of the project and the planned mine structure that aims to deliver substantial silver and gold output over its lifespan.
Additionally, the company recently initiated a fully funded test mine and bulk sampling program targeted at Copala. The ongoing development of a strategic underground ramp is expected to facilitate lateral access and ore extraction, with a significant infill drilling program designed to convert more resources into indicated and measured categories at Copala and Cristiano.
Conclusion
With continued exploration and validation of high-grade mineralization, Vizsla Silver Corp. reinforces its position as a leading contender in the silver mining sector. The operational strategies laid out for the Panuco project present a hopeful outlook not just for investors but also for the broader mining community.
