Other highlights included:

  • 1,013g/t AgEq over 4.20 metres (713g/t silver and 3.76g/t gold)

  • 1,671g/t AgEq over 1.50 metres (1,140g/t silver and 6.65g/t gold)

"This newly discovered vein was not included in the March 2022 resource estimate," Konnert said.

He noted that Vizsla currently has three rigs targeting the Tajitos-Copala area.

Canaccord Genuity Capital Markets analyst Kevin MacKenzie said: "The discovery of yet another high-grade vein within the Panuco project serves to underscore the overall perspectivity of the project, and the potential to discover additional blind vein-sets".
