Vizsla Silver Corp. provided an update on the ongoing development of its Copala test mine at the Panuco silver-gold project in Sinaloa, Mexico. The test mine program is a significant step in de-risking the Panuco Project, marking the company's transition from exploration to development. The Copala portal is expected to serve as the primary access for future underground mining operations.
Simon Cmrlec, COO, reported that approximately 125 meters have been advanced along the Copala decline, which is progressing in favorable ground conditions at a 15% grade. The decline is currently advancing at a rate of 4 meters per day, with optimization efforts underway to achieve two blasts per day and advance rates of around 8 meters per day.
A 10,000-tonne bulk sample will be extracted from the 460 level, approximately 70 meters vertically below the surface. This material will be used for further metallurgical test work, geotechnical analysis, and reconciliation of resource models. The fully funded test mine program is on track for completion by year-end.
