Mergers & Acquisitions

VIZSLA COPPER REACHES AGREEMENT

WITH TRAILBREAKER RESOURCES TO

EXPAND WOODJAM COPPER-GOLD

PROJECT

VANCOUVER, BC

,

June 12, 2023

/CNW/ - Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTCQB: VCUFF)

(

FRANKFURT

: 97E0) ("

Vizsla Copper

" or the "

Company

") is pleased to announce the signing of an

option agreement (the "

Option Agreement

") with Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. ("

Trailbreaker

"),

pursuant to which the Company has been granted the option to acquire a 100% interest in 6,482

hectares of land contiguous with the Company's Woodjam Project.

HIGHLIGHTS

Expansion of Flagship Woodjam Project:

With the addition of these claims, the Woodjam

Project has grown significantly to 72,805 hectares of prospective southern Quesnel Terrane.

Prospective Geology:

These new claims are underlain by intrusive rocks belonging to the

Takomkane batholith, which hosts the large porphyry-related copper-gold Southeast deposit on

the Woodjam property.

"These claims are a terrific addition to the Woodjam Project,"

commented

Steve Blower

, Vice

President of Exploration

. "They are proximal to porphyry-related copper-gold deposits and share

similar geology. Work on the Trailbreaker claims will be a high priority for the Company going

forward.

"

The Claims

The four claims that are subject to the Option Agreement are contiguous with the southern edge of

the Woodjam Project and cover a total of 6,482 hectares. The geology underlying the claims

consists predominantly of till covered intrusive rocks belonging to the early Jurassic Takomkane

batholith, host to the nearby Southeast copper-gold porphyry-related deposit at the Woodjam

Project. Given the prospective geology, the new claims will be a high priority for upcoming

exploration programs at the Woodjam Project.

Terms of Option Agreement

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Vizsla Copper has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the

four claims by issuing an aggregate of 400,000 common shares to Trailbreaker over three years,

subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. Vizsla Copper has the right to accelerate the

option any time after the first anniversary.

The optioned claims will be subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR"). Trailbreaker and

Teck Resources Limited will retain a 1% NSR each on three of the claims and Trailbreaker will retain

a 2% NSR on the fourth claim. Half of the 1% NSR may be bought from Trailbreaker for

$500,000

.

Half of the 2% NSR may be bought from Trailbreaker for

$1,000,000

.

The Woodjam Project

The 72,805-hectare Woodjam Project is located 55 kilometres 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 Woodjam 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-related 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.
