VIZSLA COPPER APPOINTS SHAWN MATTHEWS AS STRATEGIC ADVISOR

Vizsla Copper Corp. has appointed Shawn Matthews as a strategic adviser to the company.

Mr. Matthews is the founder and chief investment officer of Hondius Capital Management, a global alternative asset manager. In this role, he has oversight of and responsibility for all firm investments. Mr. Matthews has been actively investing in global markets for over 30 years, with the majority of his career focused on trading across asset classes.

Prior to founding Hondius Capital Management, Mr. Matthews served as chief executive officer of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. from 2009 through April, 2018. Before becoming CEO, he held a number of senior investment leadership roles at Cantor Fitzgerald, including head of capital markets and head of mortgage trading. Earlier in his career, Mr. Matthews worked as a fixed income derivatives trader, traded privatization certificates in Eastern Europe, and later founded both an equity-focused hedge fund, Alchemist Capital Management, and a fixed income broker-dealer, West Side Capital.

Mr. Matthews holds a bachelor of science in finance from Fairfield University and an MBA from Hofstra University.

"We are very pleased to welcome Shawn as strategic adviser to the company. Shawn brings an exceptional depth of experience in the capital markets and a strong track record of engagement with government and regulatory bodies. His insight and relationships will significantly strengthen our strategic positioning as we advance the Palmer project in Alaska, particularly through enhanced government relations and broader market engagement," commented Craig Parry, executive chairman and CEO.

"I am excited to join Vizsla Copper in an advisory capacity during such a dynamic period for copper as a critical mineral. The company's strategic focus on high-potential, jurisdictionally safe assets like the Palmer project -- with its existing high-grade resources, expansion upside and supportive regulatory environment -- aligns perfectly with the macro tailwinds driving copper demand. Having spent my career building and advising on investment platforms in volatile and high-growth markets, I see tremendous opportunity to support Vizsla Copper's team in executing their vision, enhancing capital efficiency and delivering results for stakeholders. I look forward to contributing my experience to help accelerate the company's path toward development and discovery success," commented Mr. Matthews.

Pursuant to the company's omnibus equity incentive compensation plan, it has granted 600,000 stock options at an exercise price of $1.38 and 100,000 restricted share units (RSUs) to an adviser of the company. The options are exercisable for a period of five years and will vest over the next two years and the RSUs will vest in three equal annual instalments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date.

The omnibus plan and all issuances granted under the omnibus plan are subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and disinterested shareholder approval. These approvals will be sought at the company's next annual general meeting to be held in Q3 (third quarter) 2026.
