Vizsla Copper Corp. Announced Expansion of Drilling at the Poplar Copper-Molybdenum Project in British Columbia

On Monday, April 6, Vizsla Copper said new drilling at the Poplar copper-molybdenum project in central British Columbia had extended mineralization 200 meters to the north.

In a statement, the company said hole TH26-151 at the Thira zone intersected 675 meters of mineralization starting from 32 meters downhole, grading 0.26% copper and 0.015% molybdenum. Within this interval, a 435-meter section starting from 198 meters depth graded 0.31% copper and 0.022% molybdenum.

Vancouver-based Vizsla Copper was spun off from Vizsla Silver in 2021.

Vizsla Copper said the results from hole TH26-151 built on the 2025 results, indicating that the mineralized zone extended at least 800 meters east-west and at least 700 meters north-south.

According to a 2021 resource report, the Poplar project had indicated resources of 152 million mt grading 0.32% copper, 0.09 g/mt gold, and 2.58 g/mt silver, containing 1.1 billion pounds of copper, 430,000 ounces of gold, and 12.6 million ounces of silver.

In addition, the project had inferred resources of 139 million mt grading 0.29% copper, 0.07 g/mt gold, and 4.95 g/mt silver, containing 903 million pounds of copper, 320,000 ounces of gold, and 22.2 million ounces of silver.
