VIZSLA COPPER RECEIVES DRILLING PERMIT FOR THE COPPERVIEW PROJECT, SOUTH-CENTRAL BC
Vizsla Copper Corp. has received an exploration permit for its 11,630-hectare, 100-per-cent-controlled Copperview project, central British Columbia.
Highlights:
-
Permit approval: A five-year multiyear area-based (MYAB) permit has been granted for planned drill programs at the Copperview project in Southern British Columbia.
- Approved activities: The permit allows for drilling at multiple sites, as well as limited construction and modification of exploration access trails.
- Exploration to commence: Planning is under way for a drill program later in the year focused on evaluating the porphyry-related copper potential of the previously undrilled M5 target, central to the project area.
"The grant of this drill permit represents a key milestone for the company as we advance our pipeline of copper and other critical mineral exploration projects," commented Craig Parry, executive chairman and chief executive officer of the company. "The M5 target has been refined through systematic exploration programs over the last two years. We look forward to announcing more detailed drilling plans in due course, which we anticipate commencing this fall."
"The Vizsla Copper exploration team is excited to evaluate the previously undrilled M5 target area with core drilling," commented Steve Blower, vice-president of exploration. "It's location, geology and geophysical signatures warrant drill testing in this region known for economic copper-gold porphyry related deposits."
Multiyear exploration permit
The company has been notified by the B.C. Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals that its notice of work application for a five-year MYAB permit under the B.C. Mines Act has been approved. The permit area is contained within the company's 11,630-hectare mineral tenure land position located near Princeton, B.C.
Permitted activities include core drilling and limited construction of access trails under rigorous environmental conditions.
Copperview M5 target
Drilling will focus on the recently defined M5 target, central to the Copperview project (see June 11, 2025, news release). The till-concealed M5 target, largely defined on the basis of ground and airborne geophysical data, comprises a broadly northwest-southeast-oriented, more than 20 mv/v (millivolts per volt) chargeability-high anomaly that spans 2.5 by 1.4 kilometres. The core of the chargeability-high anomaly is spatially associated with a strong conductivity-high (resistivity-low) anomaly observed in ground IP (induced polarization) data, as well as the recently compiled MobileMT survey (see Nov. 2, 2023, news release) and a marked break (magnetic-low anomaly) in north-trending regional-scale magnetic-high lineaments. The M5 target is along trend, 6.5 kilometres north of Kodiak Copper's Gate discovery. Porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization at the Gate discovery is spatially associated with a strong chargeability-high coincident with a similar break in the regional-scale magnetic-high lineament.
Planning is under way for an inaugural drill program focused on the M5 target, anticipated to commence in the fall of 2026. Details of the drill program will be announced prior to mobilization of crews and a drill rig.
