VIZSLA COPPER DRILLS 435 METERS OF 0.49% CUEQ AT THE THIRA DISCOVERY; EXPANDS FOOTPRINT OF COPPER-MOLYBDENUM MINERALIZATION 200 METERS TO THE NORTH

Vizsla Copper Corp. has released initial drill results from its continuing spring 2026 drill program at the Thira porphyry discovery at its Poplar project, located in central British Columbia.

Drill hole TH26-151 intersected the longest interval of continuous porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization drilled to date at the Thira discovery. Results from drill hole TH26-151 build on results from 2025 and demonstrate that mineralization extends for at least 800 metres (m) east-west and at least 700 metres north-south where it remains open.

Highlights:

• Drill hole TH26-151 evaluated the northern extent of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization and intersected:
  • 675.2 metres of 0.40 per cent copper equivalent* (0.26 per cent copper (Cu), 0.015 per cent molybdenum (Mo), 1.06 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag) and 0.04 g/t gold (Au), above a cut-off grade of 0.10 per cent Cu) from 31.8 metres downhole;
  • Including 435.0 metres of 0.49 per cent copper equivalent* (0.31 per cent Cu, 0.022 per cent Mo, 1.24 g/t Ag and 0.04 g/t Au, above a cut-off grade of 0.20 per cent Cu) from 198.0 metres downhole;
  • Near-surface mineralization remains open to the north.
• Drill hole TH26-148 was drilled to the south near drill hole TH25-145 and intersected:
  • 483.0 metres of 0.40 per cent copper equivalent* (0.26 per cent Cu, 0.016 per cent Mo, 0.93 g/t Ag and 0.04 g/t Au, above a cut-off grade of 0.10 per cent) from 9.00 metres downhole;
  • Including 205.5 metres of 0.50 per cent copper equivalent* (0.36 per cent Cu, 0.010 per cent Mo, 1.32 g/t Ag and 0.08 g/t Au, above a cut-off grade of 0.30 per cent Cu) from 9.0 metres downhole;
  • Near-surface mineralization remains open to the south.
• Significant drill program across the Thira alteration corridor is continuing: up to 8,000 metres of drilling at the Thira discovery and the Camp Lake and Copper Pond targets is in progress.

* Copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation uses metal prices of: $4 (U.S.) per pound (lb) Cu; $25 (U.S.) per lb Mo; $2,500 (U.S.) per ounce (oz) Au; and $25 (U.S.) per oz Ag, and conceptual recoveries of Cu: 80 per cent; Mo: 80 per cent; Au: 70 per cent; and Ag: 65 per cent. CuEq is provided for illustrative purpose only to show the combined grades of Cu, Mo, Au and Ag relative to copper price net of conceptual metallurgical recoveries. Composite intervals are calculated using length weighted averages above the cut-off grades noted above, with up to 20 metres of internal dilution. True thickness of the bulk-tonnage-style, stockwork-hosted mineralization is unknown.

"These are impressive results very early in our most significant drill program to date," commented Craig Parry, executive chairman and chief executive officer of the company. "Now is the right time to be drilling out a near-surface copper deposit in this infrastructure rich portion of British Columbia that can be worked year-round."

"The long interval of continuous porphyry-related mineralization in TH26-151 is encouraging as it opens up a large area to the north of the discovery drill holes completed in 2025," commented Steve Blower, vice-president of exploration of the company. "Thira is shaping up to be a large, near-surface zone of copper mineralization with strong continuity."

Expanding the Thira discovery

The continuing spring 2026 drill program at the Poplar project consists of up to 8,000 metres of drilling across three key target areas, the Thira discovery, Camp Lake and Copper Pond. Two core rigs are currently advancing drill holes at the Thira discovery with drill holes designed to investigate the lateral and vertical extents of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization. Drill holes TH26-148 and TH26-151 were the first two holes drilled at the Thira discovery:

• Drill hole TH26-151 evaluated the northern extent of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization. The hole was drilled to the north at a dip of minus 55 degrees from the same pad as drill hole TH25-039 and returned 675.2 metres of 0.40 per cent CuEq* (0.26 per cent Cu, 0.015 per cent Mo, 1.06 g/t Ag and 0.04 g/t Au, table 1) starting at 31.8 metres downhole (table 1), including 435.0 metres of 0.49 per cent CuEq* (0.31 per cent Cu, 0.022 per cent Mo, 1.24 g/t Ag and 0.04 g/t Au, table 1) from 198 metres downhole. Mineralization across this lower subinterval consists of chalcopyrite-molybdenite-bearing stockwork and multistage porphyry-related veins with disseminated chalcopyrite. Results from drill hole TH26-151 expands the footprint of mineralization 200 metres to the north where it remains open.
• Drill hole TH26-148 evaluated the vertical extent of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization intersected in drill hole TH25-145. The hole was drilled steeply to the south and intersected 483.0 metres of 0.40 per cent CuEq* (0.26 per cent Cu, 0.016 per cent Mo, 0.93 g/t Ag and 0.04 g/t Au, table 1) from 9.0 metres downhole, including 205.5 metres of 0.50 per cent CuEq* (0.36 per cent Cu, 0.010 per cent Mo, 1.32 g/t Ag and 0.08 g/t Au, table 1). Porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization in drill hole TH26-148 consists of chalcopyrite-molybdenite-bearing stockwork and multistage porphyry-related veins that crosscut intensely biotite altered volcaniclastics and plagioclase-biotite monzonite porphyries. Further drilling along this fence to the south is warranted.

These new drill results continue to highlight a significant zone of near-surface, porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization that spans at least 800 metres east-west, at least 700 metres north-south and from near-surface to a depth of at least 500 metres.

Testing additional porphyry targets

Intervening drill holes TH26-149 and TH26-150 were drilled at the Camp Lake target and the results are pending. Drilling at the Camp Lake target is designed to evaluate the porphyry-related mineralization potential of largely untested, coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies (see the company's news release dated June 16, 2025). Drilling will resume at Camp Lake followed by Copper Pond once drilling at the Thira discovery is complete.

Poplar project

The 44,200-hectare Poplar project, located in central British Columbia, covers Mesozoic-aged arc-related volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks considered prospective for porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization. In addition to the Thira discovery target, the Poplar project also hosts the Poplar deposit, a near-surface porphyry-related copper and gold system. The Thira discovery target is approximately 10 kilometres (km) south of the Poplar deposit. Vizsla Copper has the option to earn a 100-per-cent interest in the Poplar project through a series of expenditure commitments and annual cash payments until 2027.

Sampling, chain of custody, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)

All sampling was conducted under the supervision of Vizsla Copper's geologists, and all drill core analytical results have been monitored through the company's quality assurance and quality control program. The drill core was sawn in half at Vizsla Copper's dedicated and secure core logging and processing facility near Houston, B.C.

Half of the drill core was sampled and shipped by a bonded courier in sealed and secured woven polyester bags to the ALS Global preparation facilities in Kamloops, B.C., and the chain of custody was continuously monitored. Core samples were prepared using ALS standard preparation procedure PREP-31A, which involves crushing the sample to 70 per cent less than two millimetres (mm), followed by a riffle split of 250 grams (g) and then a pulverized split to better than 85 per cent passing 75 microns.

Following sample preparation, the pulps were sent to the ALS Global analytical laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C., for analysis. ALS Global is registered to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditations for laboratory procedures.

Drill core samples were analyzed for 48 elements, including Cu, Ag and Mo by ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) on a 0.25-gram aliquot using a four-acid digestion (method ME-MS61). Gold was analyzed by fire assay on a 30-gram aliquot with an AES (atomic emission spectroscopy) finish (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy -- method Au-ICP21).

In addition to ALS Global laboratory QA/QC protocols, Vizsla implements a rigorous internal QA/QC program that includes the insertion of field and lab duplicates, certified reference materials (standards prepared by an independent lab) and blanks into the sample stream. Data verification of the analytical results includes a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results, and the procedures and results are considered acceptable.
