Vizsla Copper Commences 2026 Drill Program at Palmer Project — Vizsla Copper Corp.

Event summary

Vizsla Copper has started its 2026 diamond drilling program at the Palmer VMS Project in Southeast Alaska.
The program involves approximately 10,000 meters of drilling, focusing initially on the South Wall Zone.
The project aims to expand high-grade copper-rich mineralization and evaluate new discovery opportunities.
The Palmer Project currently hosts an Indicated Mineral Resource of 4.77 million tonnes and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 12.0 million tonnes.

The big picture

Vizsla Copper's 2026 drill program at the Palmer Project is part of a multi-year strategy to expand critical minerals resources and evaluate new discovery opportunities. The program is strategically important given the growing demand for copper and other critical minerals in domestic supply chains, infrastructure development, and energy systems. The project's location in Southeast Alaska, with its significant infrastructure, positions it favorably for future development.

What we're watching

Resource Expansion: Whether the 2026 drilling program will successfully expand the high-grade copper-rich core within Zone 1 and improve confidence in existing mineralized zones.
Discovery Potential: The pace at which new discovery opportunities, such as the HG Prospect and Waterfall Prospect, will be evaluated and potentially add additional mineralization.
Technical Understanding: How advanced geological modeling and geophysical reinterpretation will enhance the Company's understanding of the Palmer district and support future technical studies.
