Drilling Highlights

NP-20-07

• 8,078 g/t silver equivalent (1,808.2 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver, 66.8 g/t gold, 2.99% lead and 3.30 % zinc) over 6.0 metres ("m") from 69.0 including;
  
  
• • 12,992 g/t silver equivalent (2,889.2 g/t silver, 107.9 g/t gold, 4.80% lead and 4.56 % zinc) over 3.7m from 69.5m including;
    
    
  • 21,034 g/t silver equivalent (2,240.0 g/t silver, 199.0 g/t gold, 12.85% lead and 3.27% zinc) over 0.85m from 72.35m

NP-20-05

• 284 g/t silver equivalent (134.3 g/t silver, 1.34 g/t gold, 0.49% lead and 0.91% zinc) over 10.65m from 112.35m including;
  
  
• • 1,201 g/t silver equivalent (719.0 g/t silver, 5.10 g/t gold, 0.71% lead and 1.42% zinc) over 1.0m from 118.6m

Vizlsa is reporting as silver equivalent due to the average ratio of metal value in the Panuco district being 60:40 silver to gold. The company's geological interpretation of the results is that these high grades in NP-20-07 is in the very core of the mineralization and broader drilling is reverting to the silver dominant nature similar to observed in holes NP-20-04 and NP-20-05.

Vizsla President and CEO, Michael Konnert, commented: "We are thrilled with these high grade results as they support our understanding that the Napoleon vein system remains open along trend to the north and south and at depth. With a 14,500 metre drill program underway, The Company will continue to drill the Napoleon vein system and the multiple other drill targets in vein systems across the Panuco district. Our second rig is currently turning at Cordon del Oro. Being fully-funded, Vizsla intends to provide steady drilling news flow over the summer months."

The Napoleon Vein Corridor is located almost entirely on concessions optioned from Rio Panuco which Vizsla has the right to purchase 100% of including the 500 tonne per day El Coco mill, tailings facility, roads, power and permits for a total of US$23,000,000.

Drilling detail

The Napoleon corridor is hosted in weakly magnetic fine-grained diorite and trends approximately north – south. The structure hosts two main quartz veins that are separated by some 10 to 20 metres and appears to dip very steeply to sub-vertical. So far it has been mapped along strike for over 2,000 m. Between the two main veins are a series of smaller splay veins with variable orientations, that are related to dilation along the structure under strike slip movement.

The two main veins are multi-episodal quartz veins, with sections of massive white to greyish quartz as well as local brecciation with clasts of grey quartz, white vein quartz and / or wallrock pieces. The greyish quartz is grey due to the presence of the very fine-grained silver rich sulphide mineral argentite. A later breccia cuts these earlier phases comprising grey quartz supporting polymictic clasts of grey and white quartz along with strong chlorite and common to abundant, fine to medium grained pyrite, sphalerite and galena.

Hole NP-20-06 is located 60m to the north of NP-20-03 and intersected the old mine workings at the target depth. A narrow interval of un-mined vein is awaiting assay results. Further down the hole (to the west) a narrow well mineralized vein was intersected at 125.1m.

Hole NP-20-07 was a steep hole that tested the main hanging wall vein 20m downdip from hole NP-20-06. The vein is dark grey with a semi-massive sulphide mineralization and little white or grey quartz. Further down the hole a second mineralized vein was intersected. This bonanza grade material was likely the focus of historical mining within the now inaccessible Napoleon mine.

Hole NP-20-08 was drilled steeper again and intersected the main vein and multiple additional veins into the footwall of the Napoleon structural corridor. Assays are pending for this hole.

Holes NP-20-09 and NP-20-10 were drilled off section to the south and north (of holes NP-20-06, -07 and -08), respectively and intersected veining. Lastly Hole NP-20-11 has just been completed to the south of the discovery hole NP-20-02. It intersected the main vein. These holes are being logged and sampled prior to shipping for assay.

Drilling has intersected the Napoleon vein over 150m of strike and it remains open to the north, south and at depth.

About the Panuco project

Vizsla has an option to acquire 100% of the newly-consolidated 9,386.5 Ha Panuco district in southern Sinaloa, Mexico, near the city of Mazatlán. The option allows for the acquisition of over 75 km of total vein extent, a 500 tpd mill, 35 kms 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.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Drill core and rock samples were shipped to ALS Limited in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico and in North Vancouver, B.C. Canada for sample preparation and for analysis at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver. The ALS Zacatecas and North Vancouver facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Silver and base metals were analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP finish and gold was assayed by 30-gram fire assay with atomic absorption ("AA") spectroscopy finish. Overlimits analyses for silver, lead and zinc were re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with AA finish.

Control samples comprising certified reference samples, duplicates and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's quality assurance / quality control protocol.
