Vancouver, Dec. 8, 2022 - Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp. (TSXV:WCC) ("Woodjam") is pleased to announce that both Woodjam and Vizsla Copper Corp. ("Vizsla Copper") have obtained final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") regarding the previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Woodjam (the "Woodjam Shares") by Vizsla Copper pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement").
