SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release includes certain "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of the United
States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" under
applicable Canadian securities laws. When used in this news release, the words "anticipate",
"believe", "estimate", "expect", "target", "plan", "forecast", "may", "would", "could", "schedule" and
similar words or expressions, identify forward-looking statements or information.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to any future mineral
production, liquidity, enhanced value and capital markets profile of Vizsla Silver, future growth
potential for Vizsla Silver and its business, and future exploration plans are based on management's
reasonable assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on
management's experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments,
and other factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but
which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the
price of silver, gold, and other metals; no escalation in the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic;
costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs of development of exploration projects;
Vizsla Silver's ability to operate in a safe and effective manner and its ability to obtain financing on
reasonable terms.
These statements reflect Vizsla Silver's respective current views with respect to future events and
are necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered
reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive,
political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could
cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the results,
performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements or forward-looking information and Vizsla Silver has made assumptions and estimates
based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: the Company's
dependence on one mineral project; precious metals price volatility; risks associated with the
conduct of the Company's mining activities in
Mexico
; regulatory, consent or permitting delays; risks
relating to reliance on the Company's management team and outside contractors; risks regarding
mineral resources and reserves; the Company's inability to obtain insurance to cover all risks, on a
commercially reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project financing and equity issuances; risks
and unknowns inherent in all mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and resources,
metallurgical recoveries and capital and operating costs of such projects; contests over title to
properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the
environment, health and safety; the ability of the communities in which the Company operates to
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 Silver's management discussion and
analysis. Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements or
forward-looking information. Although Vizsla Silver has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to
be anticipated, estimated or intended. Vizsla Silver does not intend, and does not assume any
obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or forward-looking information to reflect
changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements
or information, other than as required by applicable law.
