Vizsla Resources Corp. Provides Update on Field Operations in Mexico
VANCOUVER, April 2, 2020 - Vizsla Resources Corp. (TSX-V: VZLA) ("Vizsla" or the "Company") reports that the Company is postponing its Mexican exploration operations at the Panuco project (the "Project") in accordance with the recent announcement by the Mexican Federal Government to temporarily suspend all non-essential business operations until April 30, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. During this time, however, the Company expects to release drill assays from the Project. "The safety of our employees is of the utmost importance during these times. Vizsla continues to monitor the situation and remains dedicated to following local health protocols to protect its personnel. When it is safe to do so, drilling will recommence at the Project", commented Michael Konnert, President and CEO. "In the meantime, we continue to await results at the Honduras Vein and look forward to announcing those in due course."
The Company has been able to complete an additional seven drill holes at the Honduras Vein and samples for six of the holes have been submitted for analysis prior to the suspension of exploration. Field mapping has significantly advanced the northern extension of the Animas and the Cordon del Oro vein corridors and the company is looking forward to testing these targets upon the resumption of its exploration program.
The Company will be proceeding with a work from home policy for its employees at the Project and continues to support the local team with awareness and response to the COVID-19 virus. The break in field activities will provide the Company's technical team an additional opportunity to review results to date and refine the 2020 exploration program campaign.
The Company is in a strong financial position to manage the current business environment. It remains fully funded for the 2020 discovery drill program and for corporate overhead, having raised $6,000,000 in December 2019.Vizsla continues to use VRIFY Technology to safely market the Company and the Panuco district to shareholders and potential investors.
