Vizsla Silver Corp. priced a $250 million offering of convertible senior unsecured notes due 2031. The notes carry a 5.00% annual interest rate, payable semi‑annually, and can be converted into shares at an initial conversion rate of 171.3062 shares per $1,000 principal, which translates to a conversion price of about $5.84 per share. An optional $50 million additional tranche is available, which would raise total proceeds to $300 million and increase net proceeds to $285.9 million.
Net proceeds of roughly $239.4 million, or $285.9 million with the optional tranche, will be directed toward exploration and development of the company’s flagship Panuco silver‑gold project, future acquisitions, general corporate purposes, and a capped call transaction program that will allocate about $39.6 million to mitigate potential dilution.
Investors have expressed concern about the dilution potential inherent in convertible notes, even with the capped call structure. The market reaction has been negative, reflecting the perceived risk of future share dilution.
The Panuco project, which is the cornerstone of Vizsla’s growth strategy, received a new feasibility study in November 2025 that projects annual production of 17.4 million silver‑equivalent ounces, an after‑tax NPV of $1.8 billion, and an internal rate of return of 111%. Production is targeted to begin in the second half of 2027, positioning the company to become a leading silver producer.
CEO Michael Konnert signed the SEC filing for the offering, underscoring the company’s commitment to advancing the Panuco project and pursuing strategic acquisitions. The financing is intended to accelerate the project’s development timeline and support broader growth initiatives.
Analysts view the financing as a necessary step to fund the high‑potential Panuco project, while acknowledging the short‑term dilution risk. The company’s strong project fundamentals and strategic focus on silver production are expected to drive long‑term value creation.
