VIZSLA ROYALTIES TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL 3.0% NSR ON PANUCO PROJECT AND ANNOUNCES US$40 MILLION FINANCING

Vizsla Royalties Corp. has entered into a royalty purchase agreement dated June 4, 2025, with Grupo Minero Bacis SA de CV, pursuant to which the company will acquire an additional 3.0-per-cent net smelter return (NSR) royalty on certain concessions (the Silverstone concessions) comprising the Panuco-Copala silver-gold project, located in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. The Panuco project is owned and operated by Vizsla Silver Corp. and is being advanced toward production.

"This is a transformative acquisition for Vizsla Royalties," stated Michael Pettingell, chief executive officer. "We have now fully consolidated all royalties in the Panuco district, significantly increasing shareholder exposure to one of the highest-grade silver-gold districts in the world. Vizsla Royalties is a publicly traded company with a Tier 1 silver royalty, which could ultimately serve as a cornerstone asset from which to develop a broader portfolio of quality precious metals royalties in the years to come."

Vizsla Royalties currently holds a 0.5-per-cent NSR royalty on the Silverstone concessions, which was established as part of its spinout from Vizsla Silver in 2024. Upon acquiring the 3.0-per-cent royalty in connection with the transaction, the company will hold a 3.5-per-cent NSR royalty on the Silverstone concessions, significantly increasing its exposure to one of the most advanced and high-grade silver-gold development districts in the world, positioning shareholders to benefit from long-term value creation as the Panuco project progresses toward production. Vizsla Royalties also holds a 2.0-per-cent NSR royalty on certain other concessions (the Rio Panuco concessions) comprising the Panuco project.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Vizsla Royalties will exercise its right to repurchase 50 per cent of the 3.0-per-cent royalty for $1.95-million (U.S.) and will purchase the remaining 50 per cent of the 3.0-per-cent royalty for $38.05-million (U.S.) for a total cash consideration of $40-million (U.S.) subject to potential adjustment in customary circumstances.

The transaction is an arm's-length transaction. No finders' fees are payable in connection with the transaction.

The company is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with CIBC Capital Markets, as lead bookrunner and underwriter, on its own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters, pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 27.4 million common shares of the company at a price of $2 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $54.8-million, excluding any potential additional proceeds raised from the exercise of the overallotment option (defined below).

The company has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 15 per cent of the shares sold under the offering, exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period of 30 days following the closing date, on the same terms as the offering.
