VIZSLA COPPER ACQUIRES ADDITIONAL
CLAIMS AT THE WOODJAM COPPER
PROJECT
VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 24, 2023 /CNW/ - Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTQB: VCUFF)
("Vizsla Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to report the acquisition of additional claims at the
Woodjam Copper Project ("Woodjam" or the "Project"). Woodjam is prospective for copper and
copper-gold porphyry style mineralization and is located 55 km east of Williams Lake, BC (Figure 1).
"I am pleased that we have been able to secure two new prospective claims at Woodjam,"
commented Steve Blower, Vice President of Exploration. "The acquisition is in line with our
aggressive strategy to build a world-class porphyry copper exploration and development project in
the Tier 1 jurisdiction of British Columbia, Canada."
The Claims
Figure 2 shows the location of the two new claims, totalling 1,069 hectares, which have been added
to the Woodjam property. The southernmost new claim is located 2.5 km to the southeast of the
Southeast porphyry copper deposit. The most recent (2021) drill hole at the Southeast deposit
intersected 142.4m @ 0.56% Cu and 0.23 g/t Au in drill hole SE21-89. The claims were purchased
from an arms-length vendor for 100,000 common shares of Vizsla Copper and are unencumbered by
any royalties or other interests.
Next Steps
Exploration data from the new claims will be compiled with existing Woodjam datasets and will be
used to aid with targeting ahead of Vizsla Copper's inaugural core drilling program currently planned
on the Project for the summer of this year.
The Project
Woodjam is located 55 kilometers east of the community of Williams Lake in an area characterized
by a low elevation, flat to gently undulating landscape that is well accessed by logging roads.
Geologically, the Project is located within the prolific Quesnel Terrane – a large regional depositional
belt commonly dominated by alkalic volcanic units and related volcaniclastic lithologies. The Quesnel
terrane hosts both alkaline and calc-alkaline porphyry copper+/-gold+/-molybdenum deposits,
including the Copper Mountain, New Afton, Highland Valley, Gibraltar, Mount Polley, Mount Milligan
and Kemess mines.
To date, six zones of porphyry mineralization (Megabuck, Deerhorn, Takom, Three Firs, Southeast,
Megaton) have been identified at the Woodjam Project by drilling (95,092 metres in 281 holes since
2009 and a further 114 holes, 30,092 metres predominantly from 1998). These six mineralized
zones form a cluster approximately 5 kilometres in diameter.
