The November 2025 Feasibility Study outlines 17.4 million ounces of silver-equivalent annual production over an initial 9.4-year mine life, an after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate (NPV5%) of US$1.8 billion, a 111% internal rate of return (IRR), and a 7-month payback at US$35.50 per ounce silver and US$3,100 per ounce gold. Vizsla Silver is concurrently advancing mine development and district-scale exploration to become a leading primary silver producer.

Establishing Senior Government Relations Function

Vizsla Silver announced the appointment of Angel Diego Gómez Olmos as Vice President of Government Relations, effective immediately. Based in Mexico City, Gómez Olmos will lead the company's in-country government and regulatory affairs, with a primary focus on advancing the permitting process for the flagship Panuco silver-gold project and its surrounding claims in western Mexico.

The appointment establishes a dedicated, senior-level government relations function as Panuco progresses toward production. This function will enhance Vizsla Silver's engagement with the federal regulatory agencies that govern Mexico's mining sector, including the Secretaría de Economía and its Dirección General de Minas, and the Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT).

Gómez Olmos will work to facilitate the approvals and consultations required to continue to advance the project on schedule.

President and Chief Executive Officer of Vizsla Silver, Michael Konnert, commented:

"Diego's expertise, relationships and background make him one of the most qualified people in Mexico for this role. He has spent years running the very agencies we are working with, and the relationships he has built across Mexico's federal ministries, along with his deep, practical knowledge of how these processes work from the inside, are exactly what Vizsla Silver needs as we advance Panuco through the permitting stage toward production. With Diego leading our government relations in Mexico, we are in the best position possible to remain firmly on track to deliver the next world-class silver primary project."
