Vizsla Copper Strikes High-Grade Copper-Zinc Intersections in Alaska
Event summary
- Vizsla Copper intersected 49.2 meters grading 4.7% copper equivalent (CuEq) at its Palmer Project in Southeast Alaska.
- Drill hole CMR26-199 returned 27.0 meters grading 8.4% CuEq, including 13.1 meters grading 10.3% CuEq.
- The 2026 drill program was expanded from 10,000 meters to 12,250 meters based on encouraging results.
- Further assay results from 15 additional drill holes are expected through early November 2026.
The big picture
