What Vizsla Copper does

Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSX-V: VCU; OTCQB: VCUFF; Frankfurt: 97E0) is a Vancouver-based, publicly traded junior mineral exploration and development company focused on copper-dominant projects in British Columbia, Canada and Southeast Alaska. The company was spun out of Vizsla Silver Corp. in 2021 and is backed by Inventa Capital Corp. Its portfolio comprises seven exploration projects: the flagship Woodjam copper-gold project (90,163 ha, Quesnel Terrane), the Poplar copper-gold project (>47,000 ha, 152.3 Mt indicated resource at 0.32% Cu), the high-grade Palmer VMS copper-zinc project in Alaska (acquired Nov 2025), plus Copperview, Redgold, Blueberry, and Carruthers Pass.

The company's core technology stack consists of conventional mineral exploration methods — diamond drilling, airborne geophysics (MobileMT, ZTEM, high-resolution aeromagnetic), ground DCIP surveys, soil geochemistry, and geological modeling — applied to porphyry copper-gold and VMS copper-zinc systems. Exploration is led by VP Exploration Steve Blower and Senior Geologist Ian Borg (Qualified Person under NI 43-101), with management headed by Executive Chairman Craig Parry and CEO Chris Donaldson.

Vizsla Copper is pre-revenue and generates no operating revenue. Its business model is capital-markets-driven: the company funds exploration through repeated private placements, brokered offerings, and flow-through share issuances, supported by investor-relations partners including Red Cloud Securities, Peak Investor Marketing, and Capitaliz. Investors — both institutional and retail — are the company's primary economic counterparties, with the value proposition centered on exposure to North American copper supply tied to electrification, EV adoption, and renewable-energy buildout.

Core offering

Vizsla Copper is a pre-revenue junior mineral exploration company that explores for, acquires, and develops copper-gold porphyry and copper-zinc VMS deposits. Its portfolio includes seven exploration projects in British Columbia and Alaska — flagship Woodjam (90,163 ha, ~1.7B lbs historical copper resource), Poplar (>47,000 ha, 152.3 Mt indicated resource), Palmer (high-grade Cu-Zn VMS in Alaska), and Copperview, Redgold, Blueberry, and Carruthers Pass. The company has no producing mines or product sales, raising capital through equity financings to fund drilling and exploration.

Product overview

Vizsla Copper Corp. is a Canadian junior copper-gold exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, BC. The company operates a portfolio of six copper exploration projects across British Columbia and Alaska, ranging from early-stage greenfield exploration to advanced-stage deposits with defined resources. The flagship Woodjam project is a large porphyry copper-gold system with historical resources of approximately 1.7B lbs of copper. The Poplar project provides a significant near-term development opportunity with 152.3 million tonnes of indicated resources. The company recently acquired the high-grade Palmer VMS project in Alaska, adding critical minerals exposure. Projects are managed through a centralized exploration and development team, with a strategy focused on value creation through both organic exploration and accretive acquisitions.

Products and services

• Woodjam Copper-Gold Project Flagship 90,163-hectare copper-gold porphyry exploration and development project in the Quesnel terrane of south-central British Columbia. Historical mineral resource estimates total approximately 1.7B lbs of copper and nearly 1M ounces of gold across three deposits (Southeast, Deerhorn, Takom), with six identified porphyry mineralization zones forming a cluster approximately 5 kilometers in diameter.
• Poplar Copper-Gold Project A >47,000-hectare porphyry-related copper and gold deposit with current undiluted indicated mineral resource of 152.3 million tonnes grading 0.32% copper, 0.009% molybdenum, 0.09 g/t gold and 2.58 g/t silver, and an inferred mineral resource of 139.3 million tonnes grading 0.29% copper. Located 38km from the Huckleberry Copper Mine in central British Columbia with good infrastructure access.
• Palmer Project A high-grade copper-zinc VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) project in Southeast Alaska with indicated resources of 4.77 million tonnes at 1.69% copper and 5.17% zinc, containing approximately 178 million pounds of copper and 543 million pounds of zinc. Acquired from American Pacific Mining in late 2025.
• Copperview Project A 37,466-hectare copper-gold exploration project located in the Aspen Grove area of south-central BC. The project is highly prospective due to its proximity (less than 4km north) to Kodiak Copper's Gate Zone discovery along the same geological trend.
• Redgold Project A copper-gold exploration project consisting of 58 mineral claims covering 8,278 hectares, acquired through RG Copper Corp. The project is contiguous with Vizsla Copper's Woodjam project and Imperial Metals' Mount Polley project, with five zones of copper-gold mineralization identified and historical drilling intersecting up to 2.87% Cu and 2.07 g/t Au over 8.1 metres.
• Blueberry Copper Project A 100% owned copper exploration property located approximately 30km southwest of Houston, BC, covering 11,500-20,265 hectares. The project covers an underexplored portion of the Babine porphyry belt and is adjacent to the Stars copper discovery belonging to M3 Metals Corp. and Aurwest Resources Corp.
• Carruthers Pass Project A copper-zinc-silver-gold and cobalt volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) property located approximately 75km southeast of the former Kemess copper gold mine in northern BC. The project was discovered in 1997 and features a large boulder grading 6.2% copper, 5.8% zinc, 2.37 g/t gold and 192.0 g/t silver. Vizsla Copper is earning a 60% interest in the project.

• Amarc Resources: Canadian junior copper-gold explorer with BC-focused porphyry assets and partnerships with major mining companies. Comparable as a small-cap BC copper explorer with similar project scale and exploration-stage profile.
• American Pacific Mining: Canadian junior mining company that sold the Palmer VMS project to Vizsla Copper in late 2025. Comparable as a publicly-traded exploration company focused on critical minerals in North American jurisdictions.

Broad incumbents

• Hudbay Minerals: Established Canadian copper-zinc producer with operations in BC (including the Huckleberry mine located 38km from Vizsla's Poplar project). Comparable as a copper-focused operator in the same BC mining camp.
