Vizsla Copper Drills 298 Metres of 0.49% CuEq as Thira Digs Deeper in British Columbia

Hole TH26-170 extends the porphyry discovery to at least 670 metres below surface, with 28.5 metres of 0.71% CuEq near its core and most summer assays still pending.

Vizsla Copper Drills 298 Metres of 0.49% CuEq as Thira Digs Deeper in British Columbia

Porphyry deposits are judged by the hundreds of metres, and Thira just added a few more floors to the basement.

Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU; OTCQB: VCUFF; FSE: 97E1) reported Thursday that hole TH26-170 at its Thira discovery, part of the Poplar project in central British Columbia, cut 297.8 metres grading 0.49% copper equivalent (CuEq) from 386.0 metres downhole. That interval carried 0.29% copper, 0.027% molybdenum, 0.025 g/t gold and 1.57 g/t silver.

The better grades sit deeper. Within the long interval, TH26-170 returned 52.2 metres of 0.64% CuEq (0.43% copper) from 563.8 metres, including 28.5 metres of 0.71% CuEq (0.50% copper) from 573.0 metres. At a looser 0.1% copper cut-off the hole returned 366.0 metres of 0.45% CuEq from 345.0 metres to the bottom of the hole at 711 metres. Higher up, it cut 83.4 metres of 0.22% CuEq from 129.6 metres and 46.6 metres of 0.28% CuEq from 257.0 metres, with a northwest-southeast fault offsetting mineralization near the top of the hole.

The second hole was more modest. TH26-169, an eastern step-out about 200 metres from TH25-142, returned 243.5 metres of 0.22% CuEq (0.14% copper) from 266.5 metres. It was collared on the hanging wall of a newly defined northeast-dipping structure, which helps explain the softer grades and gives the geologists a new feature to chase.

TH26-170 was drilled from the north side of Thira to test what lay beneath the bottom of earlier hole TH25-139. The answer was quartz-chalcopyrite-molybdenite stockwork and disseminated chalcopyrite hosted in a biotite-phyric monzonite the company calls Monz 3. Mineralization now runs "from the top of bedrock to at least 670 m below surface," said Steve Blower, Senior Vice President, Exploration, and remains open at depth. Thira's footprint measures roughly 800 by 900 metres. The result builds on hole TH26-154, which returned 304.8 metres of 0.48% CuEq in July, and on April's TH26-151, which cut 675 metres of 0.26% copper and 0.015% molybdenum from 32 metres, according to Canadian Mining Journal.

Why it matters: the summer program is mostly unreported. Vizsla drilled more than 8,800 metres in 17 holes during Phase 2, including nine holes and 5,187 metres at Thira, yet only two Thira holes are in. Seven more Thira holes, six at Camp Lake and two at Copper Pond are pending, and 2026 drilling at Poplar totals about 20,000 metres. Two rigs are also drilling more than 2,000 metres at Copperview near Merritt, testing the M5 geophysical anomaly, which has never been drilled. Poplar already carries a 2021 resource of 152 million indicated tonnes at 0.32% copper, 0.09 g/t gold and 2.58 g/t silver, plus 139 million inferred tonnes at 0.29% copper, 0.07 g/t gold and 4.95 g/t silver, per The Northern Miner. The Huckleberry copper mine, owned by Imperial Metals Corp. (TSX: III), sits about 38 km away. Chair and CEO Craig Parry pointed to "drills still turning in British Columbia and majority of assays still pending."

Now the fine print. Copper equivalent here assumes US$4.00/lb copper, US$25/lb molybdenum, US$2,500/oz gold and US$25/oz silver with conceptual recoveries, and no metallurgical testwork has been done on Thira core. True thickness of the stockwork mineralization is unknown. The best grades in TH26-170 begin more than 560 metres downhole, and the long interval runs below 0.3% copper, so depth and mining method will matter. The release is also inconsistent on internal dilution, citing up to 20 metres in one footnote and 10 metres in another. Thira is a growing porphyry discovery, not yet part of a current resource or economic study.
