Executive Summary

On 2026‑04‑06 Vizsla Copper released initial results from its spring 2026 drill program at the Thira Discovery (Poplar Project, BC).
Hole TH26‑151 returned 675.2 m @ 0.40 % CuEq (cutoff >0.10 % Cu) from 31.8 m depth; includes a 435.0 m core @ 0.49 % CuEq (cutoff >0.20 % Cu).
Hole TH26‑148 intersected 483.0 m @ 0.40 % CuEq from 9 m depth, with a 205.5 m interval @ 0.50 % CuEq.
Grades in the core intervals: ~0.31‑0.36 % Cu, 0.01‑0.02 % Mo, 1.2‑1.3 g/t Ag, trace Au.
The mineralized envelope now extends ≥800 m east‑west and ≥700 m north‑south, remaining open laterally (north & south) and at depth (≥500 m).
Ongoing drilling targets up to 8,000 m across Thira, Camp Lake and Copper Pond; two rigs are active on Thira with pending results from holes TH26‑149/TH26‑150 and additional Thira holes.
Assay methodology: ALS Global (ICP‑MS for 48 elements, fire assay for Au); QA/QC includes field/lab duplicates, certified reference materials, blanks. Qualified Person: Christopher Leslie, Ph.D., P.Geo.

Material Impact

The news confirms continued success of the previously announced large‑scale drill program (up to 8,000 m disclosed on 2026‑02‑04 and planned aggressively since 2026‑01‑14).
While the intercepts are longer than the best prior result (237.3 m @ 0.51 % CuEq from Oct 2025), they represent an incremental expansion of a known near‑surface porphyry system rather than a wholly new discovery or a transformative corporate event (e.g., acquisition, major financing, strategic investor entry).
No new material information such as a resource estimate update, milestone payment trigger, or high‑profile investor participation is disclosed.
Therefore the release is routine‑positive: it delivers expected, favorable data that reinforces the exploration thesis but does not constitute a material surprise relative to market expectations.

Company Overview

Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) is a mineral exploration company focused on copper‑gold‑molybdenum assets in British Columbia and Alaska.
Flagship BC asset – Poplar Project (central BC): hosts the near‑surface Poplar Cu‑Au deposit and the Thira porphyry Cu‑Mo discovery. The company holds an option to earn 100 % interest via expenditure commitments and annual cash payments through 2027.
Alaska asset – Palmer VMS Project (southeast Alaska): acquired in Dec 2025; hosts high‑grade copper‑zinc‑gold‑silver mineralization with indicated resources of 4.77 Mt @ 1.69 % Cu, 5.17 % Zn and inferred resources of 12.0 Mt @ 0.57 % Cu, 3.92 % Zn. The project benefits from road access, existing permits, and infrastructure.
