Vizsla Copper Provides Update On Effective Date Of Consolidated Woodjam Acquisition

VANCOUVER, Dec. 8, 2022 - Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTCQB: VCUFF) ("Vizsla Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that both Vizsla Copper and Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp. (TSXV: WCC) ("WCC") have obtained final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") regarding the previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of WCC (the "WCC Shares") by Vizsla Copper pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement is expected to be completed on or about December 13, 2022.

WCC is engaged in copper, gold and molybdenum exploration and development on the Woodjam project (the "Woodjam Project") in central British Columbia. The Woodjam Project is located near the community of Horsefly, approximately 55 kilometers east of the regional center of Williams Lake, British Columbia.

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement, Vizsla Copper will complete a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the Vizsla Copper common shares (the "Vizsla Copper Shares") on the basis of one post-consolidation Vizsla Copper Share for every 3.5 Vizsla Copper Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Consolidation.

Under the terms of the arrangement agreement dated September 7, 2022 between Vizsla Copper and WCC (the "Arrangement Agreement"), all of the issued and outstanding WCC Shares will be exchanged for Vizsla Copper Shares on the basis of 0.307206085 Vizsla Copper Shares for each WCC Share. Pursuant to the Arrangement, Vizsla Copper expects to issue an aggregate of approximately 43,417,026 Vizsla Copper Shares to WCC shareholders. Upon completion of the Arrangement, current WCC shareholders will own approximately 65% of the 66,795,425 issued and outstanding Vizsla Copper Shares.

The Arrangement was previously approved by shareholders of WCC on November 17, 2022 and the Supreme Court of British Columbia on November 23, 2022. Following completion of the Arrangement, the common shares of WCC are expected to be delisted from the TSXV. An application is also expected to be made for WCC to cease to be a reporting issuer in the applicable jurisdictions upon closing of the Arrangement.
