NYSE: VZLA TSX: VZLA

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX:VZLA) (NYSE:VZLA) (Frankfurt: 0G3) ("Vizsla" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from 11 geotechnical drill holes targeting the Copala resource area at its 100%-owned, flagship Panuco silver-gold project ("Panuco" or the "Project") located in Mexico. The reported results correspond to 29 oriented geotechnical drill holes completed within the Copala, Tajitos and Napoleon resource areas between May 2025 and August 2025.

Highlights

• DDH-CAP-008B returned 1,800 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over 3.80 metres true width (mTW) (1,284 g/t silver and 7.51 g/t gold)
  • Including 3,833 g/t AgEq over 0.93 mTW (2,760 g/t silver and 15.70 g/t gold)

• DDH-CAP-003A returned 840 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over 6.50 metres true width (mTW) (681 g/t silver and 2.58 g/t gold)
  • Including 1,219 g/t AgEq over 0.91 mTW (1,046 g/t silver and 3.10 g/t gold)
  • Including 1,708 g/t AgEq over 1.83 mTW (1,428 g/t silver and 4.77 g/t gold)

• DDH-CAP-007B returned 424 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over 8.90 metres true width (mTW) (269 g/t silver and 2.15 g/t gold)
  • Including 1,357 g/t AgEq over 1.62 mTW (865 g/t silver and 6.82 g/t gold)

• DDH-CAP-003A returned 1,422 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over 2.00 metres true width (mTW) (850 g/t silver and 7.78 g/t gold)

"The results from the recently completed Geotechnical drill campaign not only support engineering studies for mine development but also serve as infill holes, validating the exceptional high-grade continuity at Copala", commented Michael Konnert, President & CEO. "Copala continues to impress with higher grades as drill spacing is reduced, particularly within years 1-3 of the feasibility study mine plan. We expect to continue upgrading resources through 2026 via underground drilling at Copala to further de-risk and enhance initial mine production."

The precious metals dominant Copala structure, located in the western portion of the Panuco district, is situated ~800 m to the east of the Napoleon Vein. Copala currently hosts Measured Resources of 41.4 Moz AgEq at 684 g/t AgEq, Indicated Resources of 82.8 Moz AgEq at 600 g/t AgEq and Inferred Resources of 35.5 Moz AgEq at 476 g/t AgEq within a broad envelope of vein-breccia interlayered with host rock, up to 82 metres thick (please refer to our Panuco Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study, Sinaloa State, Mexico, by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC, dated December 2, 2025 and Vizsla's press release dated November 12, 2025). Observations and interpretations conducted by Vizsla geologists indicate that Copala has an average dip of ~46° to the east (~35° in its northern sector and steepening to ~65° in the southern sector).

Exploration and resource focused drilling at Copala have now traced mineralization along ~1,770 metres of strike length and ~400 metres down dip. Furthermore, surface geological mapping, supported with LiDAR, and near surface drilling conducted in 2024 (see press release dated June 26, 2024) led to the discovery of a historic mine adit on surface over the central zone of Copala where the initial years of production have been planned.

The 11 holes reported herein are part of 10,578 m geotechnical campaign comprised of 29 oriented holes completed for engineering studies that were included in Vizsla's recently announced Feasibility Study (please refer to our Panuco Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study, Sinaloa State, Mexico, by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC, dated December 2, 2025 and Vizsla's press release dated November 12, 2025). Nine of the 11 holes intercepted Copala between 15 m or 50 m from previous drill holes and thus can be considered as infill holes. Additionally, eight of these holes intercepted Copala with significant grades, further demonstrating the excellent mineral continuity along the Vein.

Moreover, Vizsla Silver commenced a fully funded and permitted test mine and bulk sample program at Copala on December 11, 2024 (see press release dated December 11, 2024), which is focused on developing an underground ramp ("Morgan" ramp), lateral access and ore extraction from the 460-level on Copala. Development of the Morgan ramp on Copala has now provided Vizsla geologists with strategic positions to start an aggressive (+13k metres) infill drilling campaign designed to upgrade additional resources into the Indicated and Measured categories at Copala and Cristiano. Vizsla commenced its underground infill drilling program from the 480-level of the ramp on December 24, 2025 and plans to add a second rig at the 460-level in due course.

In accordance with NI 43-101, Jesus Velador, Ph.D. MMSA QP., Vice President of Exploration, is the Qualified Person for the Company and has reviewed and approved the technical and scientific content of this news release.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Drill core samples were shipped to SGS Lab in Durango Mexico for sample preparation and analysis. The SGS lab in Durango is 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. Over limit 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.
