VANCOUVER, BC, July 16, 2026 /CNW/ -- Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTCQB: VCUFF) (FRANKFURT: 97E0) ("Vizsla Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the remaining drill results from its recently completed, spring 2026 Phase 1 drill program at the Thira porphyry discovery (the "Thira Discovery") at its Poplar Project, located in central British Columbia (the "Poplar Project").
HIGHLIGHTS
- Drill hole TH26-154 tested the northern extent of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization intersected in discovery hole TH25-138, and returned:
- 472.8 meters of 0.40% copper equivalent* (0.26% Cu, 0.017% Mo, 0.87 g/t Ag, and 0.04 g/t Au, above a 0.10% Cu cutoff grade) from 13.2 meters down hole, including
- 304.8 meters of 0.48% copper equivalent* (0.29% Cu, 0.022% Mo, 1.02 g/t Ag, and 0.05 g/t Au, above a 0.20% Cu cutoff grade) from 13.2 meters down hole, and including
- 45.0 meters of 0.58% copper equivalent* (0.42% Cu, 0.012% Mo, 1.29 g/t Ag, and 0.096 g/t Au, above a 0.30% Cu cutoff grade) from 48.0 meters down hole
- All drill holes at the Thira Discovery intersected zones of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization and together define a footprint of approximately 800 meters by 900 meters. Follow-up Phase 2 drilling at Thira will target mineralization extensions across interpreted fault zones.
- Emerging Camp Lake target: Seven drill holes evaluated the Camp Lake target and defined a broad ~800 meter by 400-meter footprint of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization. Follow-up Phase 2 drilling at Camp Lake will target higher-grade mineralization to the south.
- Emerging Copper Pond target: Four drill holes evaluated the Copper Pond target and established a vertically oriented zone of copper-molybdenum-silver mineralization where 177.3 meters of 0.31% CuEq* (0.17% Cu, 0.012% Mo, 2.32 g/t Ag and 0.07 g/t Au) was intersected in drill hole TH26-163. Follow-up Phase 2 drilling at Copper Pond will target potential higher-grade extensions to the east.
- Phase 2 drill program set to commence in the coming weeks: Up to 8,000 meters of drilling with two drill rigs focused on evaluating the extents of the Thira Discovery, the Camp Lake and Copper Pond targets is expected to start in late July.
*Copper equivalent calculation (CuEq) uses metal prices of: Cu US$4.00/lb, Mo US$25.00/lb, Au US$2,500/oz and Ag US$25/oz and conceptual recoveries of Cu: 80%, Mo: 80%, Au: 70% and Ag: 65%. 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 cutoff grades noted above, with up to 20 meters of internal dilution. True thickness of the bulk-tonnage style, stockwork-hosted mineralization is unknown. |
"Our second drill program at the Poplar Project has significantly advanced our understanding of the system at the Thira target, where we are working to define a large-scale copper porphyry system," commented Craig Parry, Executive Chair and CEO. "We believe Thira represents only one part of a much larger system, with additional porphyry centres identified across the 8 km corridor that warrant further drilling. As we prepare to launch our next fully funded, two-rig drill program, we look forward to continuing to build on the momentum of this discovery with a total of nearly 20,000 meters of drilling at the project this year."
"Intersecting porphyry-related copper mineralization in every hole at Thira and defining an approximately 800-meter by 900-meter mineralized footprint with long intervals of continuous porphyry-related copper mineralization, as seen in TH26-154, further demonstrates the scale and continuity of the Thira discovery," commented Steve Blower, VP Exploration. "Additionally, the broad intervals of copper mineralization intersected at the Camp Lake target support our interpretation that the Thira alteration corridor is comprised of multiple porphyry centers within a much larger system. Importantly, mineralization remains open in most directions, providing excellent opportunities for continued expansion when drilling resumes."
Building on the Thira Discovery
Phase 1 of the 2026 drill program at the Poplar Project consisted of over 11,200 meters completed in 21 drill holes along the Thira alteration corridor (Figure 4). Drilling focussed on the Thira Discovery, Camp Lake and Copper Pond targets.
Thira Discovery: Results from the first two drill holes of Phase 1, 2026 were previously disclosed (see April 6, 2026 news release) and included the longest interval of continuous porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization drilled to-date at the target with 675.2 meters of 0.40% CuEq* (0.26% Cu, 0.015% Mo, 1.06 g/t Ag, and 0.04 g/t Au, TH26-151). Seven additional holes, totalling 3,825 meters were drilled at the Thira Discovery in Phase 1, 2026 and include the following results:
- Drill hole TH26-154 evaluated the extent of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization north of discovery hole TH25-138 (Figures 1 and 2). The hole was drilled to the north at a dip of -55o from the same pad as drill hole TH25-138 and returned 472.8 meters of 0.40% CuEq* (0.26% Cu, 0.017% Mo, 0.87 g/t Ag, and 0.04 g/t Au, Table 1) from 13.2 meters down hole including 304.8 meters of 0.48% CuEq* (0.29% Cu, 0.022% Mo, 1.02 g/t Ag, and 0.05 g/t Au, Table 1) from 13.2 meters down hole. Mineralization across this interval consists of chalcopyrite-molybdenite bearing stockwork and multi-stage porphyry-related veins with disseminated chalcopyrite (Figure 3 and 5a, 5b). Higher density of veins with higher-temperature alteration (e.g., K-feldspar-biotite-magnetite) correlate with zones of higher-grade mineralization (e.g., 45.0 meters of 0.58% CuEq (0.42% Cu, 0.012% Mo, 1.29 g/t Ag, and 0.096 g/t Au, Table 1) from 48.0 meters down hole).
- All holes drilled at the Thira Discovery intersected zones of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization (Table 1 and Figure 1) hosted in at least four phases of monzonite intrusions and volcaniclastic rocks. Mineralization is focused around a late-phase, vertically oriented monzonite plug with higher grades hosted primarily in earlier syn-mineralization monzonites and intensely altered volcaniclastic rocks. Drilling currently defines a mineralized footprint of approximately 800 meters by 900 meters (Figure 1) down to a depth of ~500 meters (Figures 2 and 3) where higher grade zones near syn-mineralization monzonite intrusions define a near-surface area of approximately 500 meters by 500 meters (Figure 1). Continued drilling at Thira will investigate the potential faulted offset to the east as well as the controls on higher-grade mineralization central to the target area.
Camp Lake Target: Drilling at the Camp Lake target, 1.3 km southwest of Thira, was 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 news release). Eight drill holes totalling 4,060 meters evaluated an ~800 meter by 400 meter footprint (Figure 4) with all holes returning zones of porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization (e.g., 162.0 meters of 0.24% CuEq* (0.16% Cu, 0.005% Mo, 0.46 g/t Ag and 0.06g/t Au), TH26-155, Figure 4 and Table 2). Mineralization is typically disseminated within monzonite to quartz monzonite phases of the Camp Lake stock and associated with chlorite-sericite alteration. Local zones of potassic alteration and intervals of magnetite-cemented breccias (Figure 5c) with associated higher-grade copper mineralization were intersected in the southernmost holes suggesting an exploration vector to the south. Follow-up drilling at Camp Lake will target higher-grade mineralization to the south (Figure 4).
Copper Pond Target: Drilling at the Copper Pond target, 2.7 km southwest of Thira, was designed to evaluate the extent of near-surface porphyry-related copper mineralization intersected in shallow 1970s drilling (Figure 4). Four drill holes totalling 2,057 meters evaluated a ~500 meter by 500 meter area of coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies (see the Company's news release dated June 16, 2025 news release). Zones of strong disseminated and vein-hosted copper-molybdenum-silver mineralization were intersected in two holes (TH26-163, 177.3 meters of 0.31% CuEq* (0.17% Cu, 0.012% Mo, 2.32 g/t Ag and 0.07 g/t Au, Table 2) and TH26-165, 94.0 meters of 0.27% CuEq* (0.14% Cu, 0.013% Mo, 2.33 g/t Ag, and 0.05 g/t Au, Table 2) and are associated with locally intense potassic alteration (K-feldspar-biotite) hosted in monzonites and volcaniclastic rocks. Follow-up drilling at Camp Lake will evaluate the eastern extent of this mineralization.
Next Steps
Phase 2, 2026 drilling at Poplar is scheduled to commence in the coming weeks. Drilling will focus on structural offsets of the Thira Discovery, the southern extent of porphyry-related mineralization at Camp Lake and the eastern extent of copper-molybdenum-silver mineralization at Copper Pond.
Detailed geological mapping across the Thira alteration corridor has also been completed with results being used for targeting in Phase 2 drilling. A program of grid-based soil geochemical surveys and DCIP geophysical surveys is also underway across a broad area around the Poplar deposit, 10 km north of Thira.

*Copper equivalent calculation (CuEq) uses metal prices of: Cu US$4.00/lb, Mo US$25.00/lb, Au US$2,500/oz and Ag US$25/oz and conceptual recoveries of Cu: 80%, Mo: 80%, Au: 70% and Ag: 65%. Metallurgical test work has not been performed on core from the Thira Discovery target, therefore it is uncertain which metals would report to potential concentrates - recoveries are conceptual in nature.

CuEq% = Cu% + (Au g/t x (Au recovery / Cu recovery) x [Au price US$/oz ÷ 31] / [Cu price US$/lb x 22.04623]) + (Ag g/t x (Ag recovery / Cu recovery) x [Ag price US$/oz ÷ 31] / [Cu price US$/lb x 22.04623] + (Mo grade % x (Mo recovery / Cu recovery) x [Mo price US$/lb x 2204.623] / [Cu price US$/lb x 2204.623]). CuEq Intervals previously reported in 2025 have been recalculated using updated metal prices. Composite intervals are calculated using length-weighted averages above the cutoff grades noted above, with up to 20 meters of internal dilution.

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 km south of the Poplar deposit. Vizsla Copper has the option to earn a 100% 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
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 (QA/QC). The drill core was sawn in half at Vizsla Copper's dedicated and secure core logging and processing facility near Houston, British Columbia.
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, British Columbia, 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% less than 2mm, followed by a riffle split of 250g, and then a pulverised split to better than 85% passing 75 microns.
Following sample preparation, the pulps were sent to the ALS Global analytical laboratory in North Vancouver, British Columbia 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, Mo by ICP-MS 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 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.
