/CNW/ -
Vizsla Resources Corp.
(TSXV: VZLA) (OTCQB:
VIZSF) (
Frankfurt
: 0G3) ("
Vizsla
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that it has expanded
the exploration program planned for the
Panuco
silver-gold project ("
Panuco
") in
Sinaloa, Mexico
and has added a third drill rig.
A total of 4,673 metres of drilling have been completed to the end of June. Now, with the Company's
recent high-grade discovery at Napoleon (see news releases dated
June 24, 2020
and
July 8,
2020
), the Company will expand its previously-planned discovery drilling program from 14,500
metres to 31,100 metres in 2020. A third drill rig was mobilised to site last week and has
commenced drilling, and a fourth drill rig is planned to commence drilling at the beginning of August.
The updated July-December exploration program is estimated to cost approximately
$6.9 million
.
CEO
Michael Konnert
stated
"Following the announcement of the high-grade results from the
Napoleon vein last week,
Panuco
has demonstrated
significant potential at the underexplored
district
. With the third drill rig on site and expanded discovery drill program, Vizsla can now
explore other high potential targets along the Napoleon, Cordon del
Oro
and Animas vein
corridors."
Drilling is continuing at the high-grade Napoleon discovery with drill hole NP-20-14 in progress.
Drilling is testing to the south and down-dip of the discovery hole, NP-20-02, before moving back
north to test vein extensions near hole NP-20-07.
Three holes have been completed at Cordon del
Oro
and the third and fourth drill rigs will test
exploration targets including the strike extensions of the Napoleon vein corridor, the
Tajitos
vein, the
San Carlos
mine at Animas and additional targets along the Cordon del
Oro
vein corridor
About the
Panuco
project
Vizsla has an option to acquire 100% of the newly consolidated 9,386.5 hectare
Panuco
district in
southern
Sinaloa, Mexico
, near the city of Mazatlán. The option allows for the acquisition of over 75
kilometres of total vein extent, a 500 ton per day mill, 35 kilometres of underground mines, tailings
facilities, roads, power and permits.
The district contains intermediate to low sulfidation epithermal silver and gold deposits related to
siliceous volcanism and crustal extension in the Oligocene and Miocene. Host rocks are mainly
continental volcanic rocks correlated to the Tarahumara Formation.

These statements reflect Vizsla's respective current views with respect to future events and are
necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered

manage and cope with the implications of COVID-19; the economic and financial implications of
COVID-19 to the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or
development activities; employee relations, labour unrest or unavailability; the Company's
interactions with surrounding communities and artisanal miners; the Company's ability to successfully
integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks
of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; stock market volatility; conflicts of interest among
certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and
the factors identified under the caption "Risk Factors" in Vizsla's management discussion and
