Vizsla Silver's High-Grade Mineral Discovery at Panuco

On March 31, 2025, Vizsla Silver Corp. made headlines with a groundbreaking discovery at its flagship Panuco silver-gold project in Mexico. The company reported exceptional high-grade intercepts from hole AM-25-90, part of their systematic exploration efforts in the area traditionally overlooked for its potential. This discovery reinforces the district’s status as an emerging mineral-rich region, offering prospects for significant silver and gold extraction.

Details of the Discovery

The results from drill hole AM-25-90 are particularly impressive. The hole returned an average of 897 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over a true width of 5.85 meters. Within this broader mineralized envelope were some extraordinary intercepts, notably:

• - 2,256 g/t AgEq over 1.13 meters
• - 1,000 g/t AgEq over 1.09 meters
• - Additional intercepts also reported excellent grades of silver and gold, confirming significant mineralization in the region.

These results illustrate the high economic potential of the Panuco project and indicate that the historical mining operations may have left substantial mineral resources untouched at greater depths.

Geological Significance

The Animas vein system, where this discovery was made, is situated approximately six kilometers northeast of the Copala resource area and has a rich history of mining activity, dating back to the 1500s. The vein structure is known to be associated with several historical workings, and Vizsla Silver’s ongoing geological assessments suggest that there may be additional high-grade mineral zones at depths previously unexplored by former miners.

Michael Konnert, President and CEO of Vizsla Silver, commented on the find, emphasizing the previously limited exploration in the Panuco district. The company is leveraging modern geological techniques to interpret the area, which shows promise for much more than the past mining efforts might have indicated.

Future Plans

As part of its comprehensive exploration strategy, Vizsla is embarking on a fully funded drilling program covering over 10,000 meters aimed at testing various high-priority target areas. Hole AM-25-90 was drilled at the La Pipa target along the Animas vein system, part of this larger initiative designed to unlock the district's mineral potential.

The geological team suggests that the Animas mineralization trends may extend further, as supported by data from LiDar and satellite imagery studies. There is a consensus that additional high-grade zones could previously have gone unnoticed due to the historical limitation of mining to shallow depths.

Conclusion

With the latest findings from hole AM-25-90, Vizsla Silver not only showcases its drilling success but also emphasizes its commitment to exploring the Panuco project fully. This discovery positions the company as a potential leader in silver and gold production in Mexico, paving the way for future exploration and delineation drilling as they aim to extract further value from this high-potential mining district. As developments unfold, the mining sector will undoubtedly keep a close watch on Vizsla Silver’s advancements at Panuco.
