VIZSLA COPPER ANNOUNCES STAKING OF THE MILLER COPPER-GOLD PROJECT, CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA

Vizsla Copper Corp. announced the staking of the Miller copper-gold project in central British Columbia on September 23, 2026. The project covers 25,274 hectares and is 100% owned and royalty-free. It is contiguous with Centerra Gold’s producing Mount Milligan mine, providing proximity to existing infrastructure including the mine's main transmission line and access road.

The company plans to conduct a project-wide airborne mobile magnetotelluric (MobileMT) survey across the property in the coming weeks to image subsurface resistivity and conductivity. Priority targets include the Fred, RPF, Lake, and WM areas, with the Fred target showing exposed porphyry-related alteration and rock samples up to 0.48 g/t Au and 0.10% Cu. The company states it is fully funded for 2026 with approximately C$15 million in treasury.

Vizsla Copper Corp. (VCU) has acquired additional land via staking, a move that strategically expands its land package in a prolific copper-gold region. The new holdings are located near Centerra’s Mount Milligan mine, a proximity that de-risks the geological setting and provides immediate access to critical infrastructure, offering a significant operational advantage for future development.

This acquisition aligns with the company's stated strategy of building a pipeline of discovery-focused assets alongside more advanced projects like Palmer. The news is considered incremental, with no immediate financial impact or change to the company's capital structure. The associated MobileMT survey represents a standard exploration step that will take months to yield results. Given the company's aggressive exploration program in British Columbia, the market likely anticipated continued land assembly, rendering the impact routine and positive but not material to the share price in the short term.

Vizsla Copper Corp. is a pre-revenue mineral exploration company focused on copper-gold projects in Canada and the United States. Its flagship asset is the Palmer VMS Project in Southeast Alaska, which the company acquired in December 2025. The project hosts an indicated resource of 4.77 Mt at 1.69% Cu and 5.17% Zn, and an inferred resource of 12.0 Mt at 0.57% Cu and 3.92% Zn.

Other key assets include the Poplar Project, a Thira copper-molybdenum porphyry discovery in BC, the Woodjam Project (Deerhorn copper-gold) in BC, and the newly staked Miller project. The company is advancing multiple projects through drilling, geophysics, and technical studies to build a pipeline of value.
