VIZSLA COPPER DEFINES STRONG IP
CHARGEABILITY ANOMALY AT THE

/CNW/ - Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTCQB: VCUFF)
(
FRANKFURT
: 97E0) ("
Vizsla Copper
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to report results from a
recently completed first phase induced polarization (IP) survey across part of the M5 target at the
Copperview project (the "
Project
" or "
Copperview
") in central
British Columbia
(Figure 1).
HIGHLIGHTS
Newly defined broad and open-ended chargeability anomaly at the M5 target supports
the strong prospectivity for porphyry-related mineralization at Copperview
The M5 chargeability-high anomaly is coincident with significant magnetic and EM
anomalies which have never been drill tested
The largely covered and concealed M5 target represents a priority area for further
exploration including expanded IP surveying, soil geochemistry and drilling
"The newly defined IP anomaly at the M5 target is coincident with other important geophysical
anomalies, which could be caused by concealed porphyry-related mineralization"
commented
Steve Blower
, Vice President of Exploration
. "The overlapping geophysical anomalies are
analogous to the Gate Discovery, 6.5 kilometers to the south, on Kodiak Copper's MPD project. We
are currently designing a follow-up multidisciplinary exploration program, set to commence this
spring which will consist of expanding the IP survey grid, soil geochemical surveys and a Phase 1
drill program."
The Copperview IP Survey
Recently completed MobileMT
1
and high-resolution magnetics
2
(see
November 2
nd
, 2023 News
Release) surveys across the Copperview Project outlined a regional-scale, north trending magnetic-
high lineament (Figure 1). The lineament is disrupted by at least two east-west trending magnetic
lows that are locally coincident with conductivity-high anomalies. The southernmost magnetic-low
defines the M5 target area (Figure 2).
The M5 target area was selected for first pass IP surveying as it's along trend to the north from
Kodiak Copper's Gate discovery
3
. Porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization at the Gate
discovery is spatially associated with a strong chargeability-high coincident with a similar break in the
regional-scale magnetic-high lineament (Figure 1).
The 2024 Copperview IP survey consisted of 8 line kilometers across two east-west survey lines
spaced 300 meters apart. The reconnaissance-style survey was designed to characterize and
detect subsurface sulfide mineralization associated with the M5 target. The two IP lines outlined an
open-ended, strong chargeability-high that increases with depth (Figure 3). The anomaly spans 1.8
km east-west and is open to the north and south. The M5 target has never been drill tested and
represents a priority area for further investigation.
Next Steps
The new IP data significantly enhances the M5 target and supports the strong prospectivity of the
dominantly till-covered area for concealed porphyry-related mineralization. Planning is underway to
expand the IP grid north and south (Figure 2) as well as grid-based soil geochemistry across the M5
and other target areas. Based on these results, targets will be ranked for follow-up drill testing
planned for later in 2025.
