## Minestarters Atlas summary

Vizsla Copper announced high-grade silver and gold drill results from its 2026 infill drill program at the AG deposit within the Palmer VMS Project in Southeast Alaska. Drill hole CMR26-213 intersected 6.1 meters grading 320.2 g/t silver and 2.48 g/t gold, including a bonanza intercept of 0.6 meters at 992.0 g/t silver and 4.77 g/t gold. These results, which also included significant zinc mineralization, are among the highest-grade precious metal intersections reported at the project to date, with additional assays pending from two other holes.

Reasoning: Vizsla Copper reported exceptional high-grade silver and gold intercepts, including bonanza grades, from infill drilling at the AG deposit within the Palmer Project. These results significantly exceed previous best grades for silver and gold at the project, enhancing the understanding of precious metal distribution and continuity within the VMS deposit. Detailed QA/QC and metal equivalent assumptions were disclosed, supporting the confidence in the results.

- Positive factor: Exceptional silver grades, including bonanza intercepts, significantly exceeding prior results for the project.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts, also significantly exceeding prior project results.

- Positive factor: Significant intercept lengths for the high-grade mineralization.

- Positive factor: Infill drilling at the AG deposit improves understanding of precious metal distribution.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC protocols disclosed, including certified lab and QP sign-off.

- Positive factor: Metal equivalent assumptions are fully disclosed.

- Negative factor: Reported intervals are downhole lengths, with true widths not stated for the main intercepts.

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 25

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The intercept of 992.0 g/t silver over 0.6 meters is well above the exceptional threshold of 500 g/t for silver.

Evidence · table

> 992.0

Context: 0.6

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'Reported intervals are downhole drill lengths. True widths are not known unless otherwise stated.'

Evidence · text

> Reported intervals are downhole drill lengths. True widths are not known unless otherwise stated.

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release details comprehensive QA/QC protocols, including the use of ALS Laboratory, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 standards, and the collection and analysis of duplicate samples, blanks, and standards.

Evidence · text

> Vizsla Copper follows Quality Assurance and Quality Control \(QA/QC\) protocols at Palmer covering the planning and placing of drill holes in the field; drilling and retrieving drill core; drill hole surveying; core transport to the Palmer camp; core logging, sampling and bagging of core for analysis; transport of core samples from site to ALS Laboratory in North Vancouver, BC for sample preparation and analysis; and recording and final statistical vetting of results.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The drill program is described as an 'infill drill program at the AG deposit' aimed at linking high-grade portions of the deposit.

Evidence · text

> The 2026 infill drill program at the AG deposit consisted of three drill holes, all of which are now complete

Reasoning: A 0.6-meter intercept with 992.0 g/t silver is an exceptional bonanza grade, representing one of the highest silver intersections at Palmer to date and contributing to a very high ZnEq value.

- Positive factor: Exceptional bonanza silver grade, significantly exceeding prior project results.

- Positive factor: Infill drilling improves understanding of mineralization.

- Negative factor: Narrow intercept length.

- Negative factor: True width not stated.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
