Vizsla Copper Provides Updates On Woodjam Copper-gold Project Expansion

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with an arm's-length, third party vendor (the "Copper Pit Vendor") to acquire a 100% interest in two mineral claims (the "Copper Pit Claims") covering exploration ground contiguous with the Woodjam Project.

Further to the Company's news release dated January 16, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 200,000 common shares of Vizsla Copper (each, a "Vizsla Copper Share") to arm's length vendors (the "Stope Baby Vendors"). The Company has also granted the Stope Baby Vendors a 2% net smelter returns royalty. Vizsla Copper has the right to purchase 1% of such royalty for $1,000,000 in cash.

Additional details regarding the Acquisition and the Stope Baby Claims are set out in the Company's news release dated January 16, 2024.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entered into with the Copper Pit Vendor, Vizsla Copper has agreed to purchase two mineral claims totalling 59.5 ha from the Copper Pit Vendor, free and clear of any encumbrances, in exchange for the issuance of 100,000 Vizsla Copper Shares (the "Consideration Shares"). The Consideration Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, after which 25% of the Consideration Shares will become free trading. In addition, the Copper Pit Vendor has agreed to voluntary resale restrictions whereby an additional 25% of the Consideration Shares will become free trading every four months thereafter. The Acquisition is subject to standard closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), and should close in the coming weeks.

The >90,000-hectare Woodjam Project is located 55 kilometres east of the community of Williams Lake in an area characterized by a low elevation, flat to gently undulating landscape that is easily accessed by logging roads. Geologically, the Woodjam Project is located within the prolific Quesnel Terrane - a large regional depositional belt commonly dominated by alkalic volcanic units and related volcaniclastic lithologies. The Quesnel terrane hosts both alkaline and calc-alkaline porphyry copper+/-gold+/-molybdenum deposits, including the Copper Mountain, New Afton, Highland Valley, Mount Polley, Mount Milligan and Kemess mines.

To date, six zones of porphyry-related mineralization (Megabuck, Deerhorn, Takom, Three Firs, Southeast, Megaton) have been identified at the Woodjam Project by drilling. These six mineralized zones form a cluster approximately 5 kilometres in diameter.

In 2023 Vizsla Copper completed a total of 7,599 metres in 18 holes successfully extending the Deerhorn and Takom deposits while also intersecting the strongest mineralization to date at the Megaton zone.
