VIZSLA COPPER COMMENCES AGGRESSIVE
DISCOVERY-FOCUSED EXPLORATION
SEASON ACROSS ITS BRITISH COLUMBIA
PROJECT PORTFOLIO
VANCOUVER, BC

May 28, 2025
/CNW/ - Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTCQB: VCUFF)
(
FRANKFURT
: 97E0) ("
Vizsla Copper
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to report that it has
commenced its multi-disciplinary, discovery-focused 2025 field season across its BC-based project
portfolio. Exploration programs consisting of geological, geochemical, geophysical surveys and
drilling are planned at the Copperview, Poplar and Woodjam projects. Work has now begun at the
Copperview Project.
HIGHLIGHTS
Exploration has commenced at Copperview:
Geological and geophysical crews have been
mobilised to the Copperview project to further investigate the M5 target area. The highest-
priority targets may be drill tested later this year.
Drilling set to commence at Poplar:
Drill crews are expected to mobilize to the Poplar Project
in June. Over 2,000 meters of drilling are planned to systematically test the highly prospective
Thira porphyry-related copper target.
Drilling planned at Woodjam:
Drilling at the Woodjam project will be focused on new
discoveries at various porphyry targets that may include the Megaton area and the untested
Great Plains target. Approximately 2,000 meters of drilling, set to begin late-summer, is
planned.
"The successful closing of our recent
$5.5 million
financing has set the foundation for an
aggressive field program across four key target areas in the project portfolio"
commented
Steve
Blower
, Vice President of Exploration
. "Drilling will concentrate on new discoveries at multiple
projects, rather than extensions of known mineralization."
2025 Multi-project Exploration Program
The focus of the 2025 exploration program across the Company's three main projects is the
discovery of a new porphyry-related copper-gold±molybdenum system. High-priority targets at the
Copperview, Poplar and Woodjam projects will be advanced. Details include:
Copperview Project:
The recently defined M5 target (see
February 19
th
, 2025 News Release) is the
focus of ongoing geological mapping, geochemical surveys and expanded IP geophysics. The IP
survey will comprise over 20 line kilometers across 7 east-west oriented survey lines (Figure 2). The
lines are planned north and south of the two 2024 reconnaissance style IP lines that successfully
identified the open-ended M5 target (see
February 19
th
, 2025 News Release). The M5 high-
chargeability anomaly is spatially coincident with magnetic-low and conductivity-high anomalies and
is considered highly prospective for concealed, porphyry-related mineralization in the dominantly till-
covered area. The M5 target area is along trend, 6.5 kilometers north of Kodiak Copper's Gate
discovery
2
(Figure 1). Contingent on geochemical and geophysical results, the M5 target may be drill
tested this fall.
Poplar Project:
Over 2,000 meters of diamond drilling is planned at the Thira (formerly known as
Poplar South) porphyry-related copper-molybdenum target (see
January 15
th
, 2024 News Release).
The Thira target consists of a broad ~8 by 2 kilometer zone of porphyry-related alteration (phyllic
and propylitic) exposed along road-cuts and sparse outcrop. The centre of the alteration zone is
covered by till where coincident high-chargeability, magnetic, EM, and multi-element soil anomalies
define a highly prospective porphyry-related copper target (see
October 8
th
, 2024 News Release).
Further details of the drill program at Thira will be released prior to the start of drilling in the coming
weeks.
Woodjam Project
: Approximately 2,000 meters of diamond drilling is planned at various targets,
including the Megaton and Great Plains porphyry-related copper-gold-molybdenum targets. The
Megaton and Great Plains targets are interpreted to be underlain by similar geology as the
Southeast deposit, located approximately 2 kilometers to the southwest and 4 kilometers to the
north respectively. Drilling at Megaton will target the northern extent of porphyry-related copper and
gold mineralization discovered in previous drill programs (see
December 5
th
, 2023 News Release)
and associated with a recently defined high-chargeability anomaly. Drilling at Great Plains will target
a broad high-chargeability anomaly largely concealed beneath a thin veneer of glacial till (see
October 30
th
, 2024 News Release). Further details of the drill program at Woodjam will be released
in the coming months.
