1.0 Summary

Vizsla Resources Corp. (Vizsla) is earning an interest in the Panuco Project in the Panuco-Copala mining camp of Concordia, Sinaloa, Mexico. Vizsla closed a share purchase agreement to purchase Canam Alpine Ventures Ltd. ("Canam") and Canam has two option agreements with two mining concession owners that comprise the Panuco-Copala mining camp of Concordia, Sinaloa, Mexico. The Panuco Project comprises 61 concessions optioned from Silverstone Resources S.A. de C.V. ("Silverstone") with a surface area of 4012 hectares and a further 43 concessions from Minera Rio Panuco S.A. de C.V. ("Rio Panuco") covering 1959 hectares. Historically, the district has been active for 460 years and the Silverstone owners are actively mining at a small scale.

The Panuco Project is hosted within the Sierra Madre Occidental ("SMO"), a northwest-trending continent-scale igneous belt that hosts most of Mexico's silver and gold production. The SMO comprises continental magmatism active from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene that has been separated into two main episodes. The Lower Volcanic Complex ("LVC") represents intermediate intrusions and associated volcanic rocks that are associated with the Laramide orogeny that occurred from 80 to 50 million years ago ("Ma"). The LVC is capped by dominantly rhyolitic ignimbrites of the Upper Volcanic Supergroup ("UVS") that were extruded in two episodes; from ~35 to 20 Ma in two episodes. The western part of the SMO is cut by normal fault systems and related extensional basins that occur in a north-northwest trending belt extending from western Sonora to southern Nayarit. The basement to the consists of Jurassic to Early Cretaceous folded metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks and deformed granitoids.

At the property-scale, windows of basement rock comprise Carboniferous meta-arenite and slate and Cretaceous volcanic rocks of the LVC and Paleocene to Oligocene volcanic rocks interpreted to represent the UVS unconformably overlie the basement. These rocks are intruded by Laramide-equivalent granite to granodiorite. A series of rhyolite domes, andesite and rhyolite porphyries record a second episode of intrusive activity that is believed to be related to UVS rhyolites and ignimbrites.

Mineralization on the project is related to extensional faulting expressed as a series of northwest-trending fault structures. Two significant structures, the Animas-Refugio and Cordon del Oro demarcate the northeast and southwest margins of a graben. This setting of northwest-trending extensional basins with associated epithermal mineralization is also present in other productive mining districts in western Mexico, including Tayoltita - San Dimas 90 kilometres to the north. Mapping to date has traced an interpreted 75 kilometres of strike length of a number of epithermal quartz-sulphide veins on the Panuco Project.

Individual vein corridors up to 3.7 kilometres long have been mapped on the property and the individual veins range from decimeters to tens of metres in width. The most significant mineralization in the veins consists of quartz veins and hydrothermal quartz breccia with grey silica in the matrix and / or in clasts. The grey colour is due to the dissemination of fine-grained pyrite and argentite / acanthite but sphalerite and galena are also common. Bladed quartz pseudomorphs after calcite, which is indicative of boiling conditions, have been noted at a number of locations within the mineralized structures.

Documented mining exploration history is sparse but the most recent exploration programs were carried out by Rio Panuco from 1999-2001 and by Silverstone in 2007 and 2008. These most recent programs comprised 12,072.3 metres of drilling in 97 holes, however, additional drilling was also carried out for which no recorded data is available. Since July of 2019 Vizsla has been carrying out geological mapping and detailed sampling of known mineral occurrences. In addition, Vizsla commenced a diamond drilling program totaling 3084.5 metres in thirteen drill holes along the Animas - Refugio structure. Drilling by Vizsla to date has been productive and additional follow-up drilling is recommended for the Animas - Refugio structure.

A two-phase budget totaling $1,250,000 CDN is recommended. Phase 1 is for $650 000 CDN to continue mapping and sampling of the Animas - Refugio, Cordon del Oro, and Cinco Señores - Napoleon structural corridors to identify mineralized shoots for 1400 metres of drill testing. The Phase 2 program is not contingent upon results of Phase 1 and comprises ground geophysical surveying, additional mapping and additional diamond drilling totaling $600,000.


2.0 Introduction

This report was prepared for Vizsla Resources Corp. ("Vizsla") to update and summarize the technical aspects of the Panuco Silver Project since the filing of a technical report by Vizsla on October 22, 2019. The report has been prepared using data from diamond drilling, geological mapping and sampling carried out by Vizsla as well as data from previous operators compiled by Vizsla.

The author of this report is an independent qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The author examined the property from March 4th to 6th, 2020 to review drill site locations and drill core from Vizsla diamond drilling.

3.0 Reliance on other Experts

The author of this report has presented a summary of legal agreements pertaining to the property titles that are presented in section 4.0. Vizsla's legal counsel in Mexico has reviewed the property titles and legal agreements pertaining to the property titles and prepared legal opinion statements pertaining to the property titles and legal agreements. The legal opinions were prepared by ALN Abogados Consultores dated November 27, 2019. The author has relied upon these legal opinions for sections 4.1 and 4.2 that all property titles are in good standing at the time of the preparation of this report and that the legal agreements pertaining to the titles are valid.

4.0 Property Description and Lcation

4.1 Mineral Title

The Panuco Silver Project is located in the Panuco - Copala mining district in the municipality of Concordia in southern Sinaloa state along the western margin of the Sierra Madre Occidental physiographic province in western Mexico. The project is centred at 23º18' North latitude and 105º56' West longitude on map sheets F13A-37 (Figure 1). The project comprises 103 approved mining concessions in nineteen blocks and covering a total area of 5283.014 hectares and one application for one mineral concession submitted by Rio Panuco covering 688.149 hectares. The mineral concessions are held 100% by Silverstone Resources S.A. de C.V. ("Silverstone") and Minera Rio Panuco S.A. de C.V. ("Rio Panuco") as detailed in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Vizsla is earning an interest in the concessions as detailed below in section 4.2. The mineral concessions are presented below in Figure 2. The concessions are valid for 50 years provided semi-annual property tax payments are made in January and July of each year and if minimum annual investment requirements are met, or if there is minimum annual production equal to the amount of the annual investment requirement. A second 50-year term may be applied for by the concession owner.

Vizsla and Canam are earning an interest in four additional concessions, but these are outside of the scope of this technical report as they are located from 17 to 35 kilometres away from the project and any potential mining operations would be standalone operations from the Panuco Project.

4.3 Surface Rights

Most of the surface rights in the municipality of Concordia are owned by ejidos which are areas of communal land used for agriculture. Community members individually farm designated parcels and collectively maintain communal holdings comprising the ejido. Ejidos are registered with Mexico's National Agrarian Registry (Registro Agrario Nacional).

Surface rights to most of the land underlying the project area are owned by six ejidos (Figure 4). Mining concession owners have the right to obtain the expropriation, temporary occupancy or creation of land easements required to complete exploration and mining work, including the deposit of rock dumps, tailings and slag. Both Rio Panuco and Silverstone have surface access agreements. Material terms of the surface access agreements are summarized below.

4.3.1 Minera Rio Panuco S.A. de C.V. and Ejido Panuco

A Benefit Common Land Use Agreement was executed between Real de Panuco, S.A. de C.V. and Ejido Panuco on July 15, 1999 and its corresponding amendment, regarding lands located in the Municipality of Concordia, Estado de Sinaloa. The agreement permits access for Rio Panuco and any business related to Rio Panuco to 500 hectares of the Ejido of Panuco for a period of 10 years. The contract may be extended for two additional periods of ten years each.

Rio Panuco agreed to pay the Ejido $35,000 MXN per year in 4 quarterly installments. Further Rio Panuco Agreed

 To continue to contribute to social work with the help of the Ejiditarios

 Accept civil responsibility for any damages to persons or property of the Ejido due to Company vehicle traffic

In an amendment dated November 26, 2009, the Ejido changed the annual rental to $200,000 pesos MXN per year. On November 26, 2019 the agreement was renewed for an additional 10 years.

4.3.2 Silverstone Resources S.A. de C.V. and Ejido Platanar de los Ontiveros

A Land Usage Agreement of Common Lands was executed between Silverstone and the Ejido "Platanar de los Ontiveros" of the municipality of Concordia, State of Sinaloa on May 31, 2012. The agreement permits all exploration and mining activities in any 20 ha of the Silverstone concessions located in the Ejido for a period of ten years. The Agreement may be extended for additional periods of ten years. Silverstone agreed to pay $30,000 pesos per year adjusted every year for inflation. Further,

 Silverstone accepts civil responsibility for any event or accident resulting in injury or death to Ejiditarios or their neighbors

 Rights in this contract are not transferable without previous approval by the Ejido.

The lands pertaining to this agreement are currently not material to Vizsla and there are no negotiations to transfer the rights in this contract to Vizsla.

4.3.3 Silverstone Resources S.A. de C.V. and Comunidad Copala

An agreement was executed between Silverstone Resources S.A. de C.V. and the "Copala" Community of the municipality of Concordia, State of Sinaloa in June 2016. The agreement permits all exploration and mining activities in any 10 ha of the Silverstone concessions located in the Ejido for a period of ten years. The Agreement may be extended for additional periods of ten years. The area specified is 1 hectare from each of the following concessions: Montana 3, Montana 4, Montana 5, Montana 6, Montana 7, Napoleon, Los Remedios, Alma Rosa, La Angelita and Santa Elena. The agreement also permits the re-location of houses if needed for exploration or mining activities with due compensation to the owners.

Silverstone agreed to pay the Comunidad of Copala $50,000 MXN per year with a 10% adjustment every year, payable in the first 10 days of June.

4.4 Permits

Exploration and mining activities in Mexico are regulated by the General Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection (Ley General de Equilibrio Ecologico y Proteccion al Ambiente, or LGEEPA and the Regulations; REIA). Laws pertaining to mining and exploration activities are administered by the Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources (Secretaria del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, "SEMARNAT") and the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Procuraduria Federal de Proteccion al Ambiente, "PROFEPA") enforces SEMARNAT laws and policy.

Activities which exceed specified limits require authorization from SEMARNAT and comprises the presentation of an environmental impact assessment (Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental or "MIA"). Activities which fall below the specified threshold, are authorized by SEMARNAT under Article 31 of the General Law for Environment, and require the submission report known as an Informe Preventivo.

Exploration activities which are expected to generate impacts to the physical or social environment that are assessed as potentially of low significance by the regulators are regulated under Norma Oficial Mexicana-120-SEMARNAT-1997 (NOM-120-SEMARNAT-1997), and its subsequent modifications.

The Project is not included within any specially protected, Federally designated, ecological zones (ANP's).

An Informe Preventivo for the area of the Panuco ejido that permits drilling activities according with official notice DF/145/2.1.1/0053/2020. 0060 dated January 21, 2020 issued by the Ministry of Environmental and Natural Resources to Minera Canam S.A. de C.V. is in force.

The Panuco Project is located within the Panuco-Copala Mining District and has been subject to extensive historic mining since approximately 1565. The mineralized bodies and the enclosing host rocks are anomalous in base and precious metals and have generated elevated metals values in sediments that extend well beyond known workings. The mineralized veins are characteristically low or moderate sulphidation, but may have potential for acid rock drainage (ARD) and subsequent metal leaching. There is one mill (the Coco mill) and tailings storage facility on the property; the mill is currently idle and the associated tailings storage facility is at capacity. There are numerous old mine workings, excavations and dumps on, and adjacent to, the Panuco project site. Some of the previous disturbance is on mining lands held by Vizsla and other disturbance is on lands held by third parties.

Environmental impacts within the project site are evident as resulting from historic activities, though current and intermittent operations of surrounding mines by third parties, and by informal and unauthorized miners working when companies are inactive. The impacts have been identified, however incompletely documented, in reports submitted to the Mexican government to attain authorization for Silverstone's exploration activities. Under the Mexican environmental and regulatory system these impacts due to historical activities are considered as pre-existing environmental liabilities which are deemed not significant and are acknowledged by regulators.



5.0 Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

The Panuco project area is accessed from Mazatlán via Federal Highway 15 to Villa Union and then on Highway 40 for a total of 56 kilometres (one-hour drive). Highway 40 crosscuts the project area and most of the vein structures. Toll Highway 40D also crosses the project. In addition, local dirt roads provide access to most of the workings but some require repairs or are overgrown and four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended in the wet season. Two powerlines connecting Durango and Mazatlan cross the project with capacities of 400 kV and 240 kV.

The project area is located in the Barranca sub-province of the Sierra Madre Occidental Physiographic province and topography of the province is characterized by mountain ranges up to 1,640 metres cut by steep gorges. Historic mine workings and mineralized structures on the project generally occur between 500 and 1,000 metres in elevations. The principal drainages are the northerly trending Rio Baluarte located east of the Property, and the northeasterly trending Rio Presidio to the north. The rivers are fed by dendritic intermittent streams. Project vegetation is mainly dry tropical forest comprising tropical bushes and shrubs at lower elevations with and oak and pine forest at higher elevations. Animals found on the project jaguars, coyotes, deer, foxes, rattlesnakes, bats, guacamayas, iguanas and small rodents.

The climate is sub-tropical with heavy rain during the months of June through September. Summer temperatures summer reach 40°C and the minimum winter temperature is approximately 10°C. Average rainfall is approximately 1,100 millimetres with the majority falling in the June to September rainy season. The area has sufficient water for exploration and mining purposes.

The project is located within the Concordia municipality which has a population of approximately 27,000 people. Public services including health clinics and police are located in the town of Concordia. Local residents provide an experienced mine labour force and contractors in Durango and Hermosillo have a strong mining tradition and provide the project with a local knowledgeable source of labour and contract mining services. Drilling companies and mining contractors are available in Mazatlan, Durango, Hermosillo, Zacatecas and Fresnillo and other areas of Mexico. The project area is also used cattle grazing with limited agricultural use.

Vizsla has an option to own a 160 tonne per day mill site. In addition, there are a number of mineral processing plants held by third parties in the district that range from 200 to 700 tonnes per day in capacity.

6.0 History

The history of the project was well documented by Christopher and Sim (2008) and Robinson (2019) and the following section has been summarized from their work. Concordia was founded in 1565 by Capitan Francisco de Ibarra and gold and silver veins in Panuco and Copala were first exploited in the centuries that followed. Although production has been carried out on the Panuco Project over the last 460 years from various locations, no production records are available to Vizsla.

The first recorded modern mining activity commenced late in the 20th century. The Mineral Resources Council (Consejo de Recursos Minerales or "CRM", the predecessor of the Mexican Geological Service or "SGM") carried out 1:50,000 scale mapping on map sheet F13-A37 and fine-fraction stream sediment sampling in 1999 (Avila-Ramirez, 1999). In 2003, the CRM published additional 1:50,000 scale mapping on map sheet F13-A36 and fine-fraction stream sediment sampling (Polanco-Salas et al., 2003). In 2019 the SGM conducted 1:50,000 scale geological mapping and fine-fraction stream sediment sampling mapsheet F13-A46 (Rosendo-Brito et al., 2019).

In 1989 the CRM optioned and sold a number of mineral concessions in the district, including to Grupo Minera Bacis ("Bacis") in 1989. Bacis subsequently acquired claims from other parties active in the area including Minas del Oro y del Refugio S.A. de C.V.. Bacis drilled 19 holes totaling 2822.8 metres along the Animas - Refugio corridor but only collar and survey records exist of this work.



From 1999 to 2001, Minera Rio Panuco S.A. de C.V. ("Rio Panuco") explored the Animas - Refugio and Cordon del Oro structures culminating in 45 holes for 8358.6 metres. Collar, downhole survey and limited assay records exist from this drilling. Drill hole orientations were mostly orthogonal to the vein system. No geological drill logs, downhole survey data, downhole sample data or downhole geochemical assay data have been preserved. Graphic drill hole sections are available with limited downhole geology and geochemical data are available. The Rio Panuco drill data cannot be relied upon as material data including hole deviation, core recovery, assaying and quality assurance / quality control data is not available.

Capstone Mining Corp. ("Capstone") optioned the concessions of Bacis in 2004 and carried out geologic mapping and sampling of the Animas - Refugio and Cordon del Oro structures. In 2005, Capstone drilled 15,374 metres in 131 holes on down-dip extensions of the Clemens and El Muerto mines on the Animas - Refugio vein. Capstone explored the La Colorada structure with surface mapping and sampling followed by 6,659 metres of drilling in 64 holes in 2007.

Also in 2007, Capstone transferred the claims of the Copala, Claudia, Promontorio, Montoros and Martha projects to Silverstone Corp. ("Silverstone"). In summary Capstone and Silverstone completed 21,641 metres of drilling in 200 holes from 2005 to 2008 (Christopher and Sim, 2008).

Christopher and Sim (2008) prepared two mineral resource estimates on the property for Silverstone on October 16, 2008 and the following summary of the mineral resource estimates is from Christopher and Sim (2008). The mineral resource estimates were prepared for the La Colorada vein-manto and the La Pipa, El Muerto and Clemens portions of the Animas - Refugio Vein.

The mineral resource estimate for the Animas - Refugio vein used data from 125 drill holes totaling 12,765 metres and 6,353 sample points within quartz vein, stockwork or sulphide mineralization. A total of 3,421 drill hole samples include bulk density data ranging from a minimum of 1.03 t/m3 to 3.88 t/m3 with a mean of 2.35 t/m3. Top cuts of 2,000 g/t silver and 9.0 g/t gold were applied to sample data. The distance of influence of samples greater than 1,200 g/t silver and 5.0 g/t gold were limited to a maximum of 10 metres during grade interpolation. Block model bulk density estimates and grades for silver and gold were estimated using inverse distance (ID to the power of 2) interpolation method. Blocks within the zone of mineralization with at least three drill holes within an average distance of 25 metres were classified as indicated mineral resources. Blocks within the zone of mineralization within a maximum distance of 75 metres from a drill hole were classified as inferred mineral resources. Christopher and Sim (2008) estimated historic mineral production from the Animas - Refugio at approximately 40,000 tonnes, although the estimate was not supported by documentation. At Animas - Refugio, indicated and inferred mineral resources were estimated using a base-case cut-off grade of 90 g/t silver.

Vizsla is not treating the indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates of Christopher and Sim (2008) as current mineral resources. The author has not done sufficient work to classify the Christopher and Sim (2008) mineral resources as current.

The mineral resource estimate for the La Colorada zone used data from 65 drill holes, 34 of which totalling 3,466 metres tested the La Colorada zone. A total of 1,724 metres of drilling and 2,124 sample points were within quartz vein, stockwork or sulphide mineralization. A total of 172 drill hole samples include bulk density data ranging from a minimum of 2.01 t/m3 to 5.26 t/m3 with a length weighted mean of 2.43 t/m3. Top cuts of 800 g/t silver and 9 g/t gold were applied to sample data. Grades for silver and gold were estimated using inverse distance (ID to the power of 2) interpolation method. Christopher and Sim (2008) estimated that historic mineral production extracted approximately 15% of the La Colorada inferred mineral resource. Christopher and Sim (2008) established a series of cut-off grades for La Colorada based on silver-equivalent values. The silver equivalent was calculated using the following assumptions:

$14 per ounce silver $800 per ounce gold

Silver-equivalent = Silver in g/t + (Gold in g/t) * 57

At La Colorada, the inferred mineral resources were estimated using a base-case cut-off grade of 20 g/t silver-equivalent.

Vizsla is not treating the indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates of Christopher and Sim (2008) as current mineral resources. The author has not done sufficient work to classify the Christopher and Sim (2008) mineral resources as current.

Note: Silver equivalent grade is calculated in this report by taking the silver grade and adding to it the gold grade multiplied by 57. No metallurgical recoveries were included.



The mineral resource estimates of Christopher and Sim (2008) were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and guidelines of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. These mineral resource estimates did not include categories other than those set out in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of National Instrument 43-101. There are no more recent estimates or data available to Vizsla. The mineral resource estimates of Christopher and Sim (2008) are considered relevant. The original drill data for the Animas - Refugio structure and all original signed assay certificates need to be acquired and verified in order to verify these mineral resources as current. If the original drill data and all original signed assay certificates are not obtained and verified, additional drilling is required to verify or upgrade these mineral resource estimates.

Silverstone merged with Silver Wheaton Ltd. ("Silver Wheaton") in 2009 and Silver Wheaton subsequently sold the shares of concession owner Silverstone to Mexican owners. The Silverstone owners mined out a portion of the mineral resource defined in 2008 over the next decade. Silverstone mined portions of the Clemens, El Muerto, La Pipa, Mariposa, El 40, and San Martin ore shoots until mining encountered the water table preventing further mining. The pillars in those ore shoots are currently being extracted by local unauthorized miners. Most of the resources estimated by the Christopher and Sim (2008) have been exploited by Silverstone or by unauthorized mining activity in the intervening years.

Rio Panuco contracted Geophysical Surveys S.A. de C.V. of Mexico City in 2016 to carry out an airborne magnetics survey (Figure 5). However, no data is available and no survey or flight specifications are included in the report. The survey was flown in two blocks, one of which covers the Panuco project that is the subject of this report.

In 2019, Silverstone and Rio Panuco optioned their mineral concessions to Canam Alpine Ventures Ltd.

7.0 GEOLOGICAL SETTING

7.1 Regional Geological Setting

The Panuco project is located along the western margin of the Sierra Madre Occidental ("SMO"), a high plateau and physiographic province that extends from the U.S.A. - Mexico border to the east-trending Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt (Figure 5). The SMO is an igneous province recording continental magmatic activity from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene that has been separated into two main episodes. The first episode, termed the Lower Volcanic Complex ("LVC") comprises an intermediate intrusive suite including the Sonora, Sinaloa and Jalisco batholiths and associated volcanic components of the Tarahumara Formation in Sonora and equivalent volcanic rocks in the Jalisco block. This period of magmatic activity is associated with the Laramide orogeny and occurred from 80 to 50 million years ago ("Ma").

Figure 6: Metallogenic Setting Map. Illustrates geological getting of western Mexico with Main Porphyry and Epithermal Deposits of the Sierra Madre Occidental from Montoya-Lopera et al (2019). Blue box represents Montoya-Lopera et al (2019) Study Area and yellow star marks the Panuco Project.

The second magmatic episode is dominated by rhyolitic ignimbrites that built one of the earth's largest silicic volcanic provinces and has been termed the Upper Volcanic Supergroup ("UVS"). These dominantly rhyolitic lavas were extruded in two episodes; from ~35 to 29 Ma and from 24 to 20 Ma. The western part of the SMO is cut by normal fault systems associated with the Gulf of California rift and subsequent extensional basins that developed between ~27Ma and 15Ma contain continental sedimentary rocks. The continental sedimentary rocks occur in a north-northwest trending belt extending from western Sonora to most of Sinaloa.



The basement to the SMO is locally exposed in Sinaloa and comprises folded metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks, deformed granitoids, phyllitic sandstones, quartzites and schists that range in age from Jurassic to Early Cretaceous (Montoya-Lopera et al, 2019).

In the broader project area, the LVC comprises granite, granodiorite and diorite intrusions of the in Late Cretaceous to Early Paleocene San Ignacio and Eocene Piaxtla batholiths. Andesite lavas and ignimbrites cover these batholiths and are locally intruded by Eocene intrusive rocks. The UVS and LVC are separated by intermontane basins in the project area and these basins are filed with continental conglomerates and sandstones. The UVS consists of two episodes of silicic ignimbrites, and minor basaltic lavas and rhyolitic domes. A ~32 to 30 Ma sequence of ignimbrites occur east toward Durango state while the second ~24-23.5 Ma sequence is present further to the west in Sinaloa.

The structure of the project area is dominated by north-northwest trending extensional faults of the Pueblo Nuevo - Tayoltita fault system. The extensional belt is associated with aligned rhyolite domes and Late Oligocene to Middle Miocene grabens (Figure 7).

7.2 Property Geology

On the local scale, the LVC has been divided by previous workers into a series of informal units based upon field observations. From the stratigraphic base, these are the Socavón Rhyolite, Buelna Andesite and Portal Rhyolite. Overlying this sequence of interlayered volcanic rocks are the Productive Andesite. The Productive Andesite is intruded by the intermediate Arana Intrusive Andesite and Arana Intrusive Diorite and a felsic suite of intrusions including the Piaxtla Granite, Santa Lucia, Bolaños and Santa Rita dykes. The intermediate intrusions have K/Ar age ranging from 39.9±1 to 36.6±1 Ma and U/Pb dating for rocks of the Piaxtla Granite yielded an age of 47.8±1.0 Ma. An erosional unconformity defined by Las Palmas and Camichin conglomerate and red beds separates the LVC from the UVS which comprises a thick section of ignimbrites, breccias and flows.

The structural setting in the region has been best studied in the Tayoltita district north of the project and the most prominent structures are major north-northwest trending normal faults that have formed a number of blocks that have been tilted to the east-northeast or west-southwest. These fault blocks represent northeast-southwest extension.

Horner and Enriquez (1999) grouped the major faults, vein and dykes into three deformational events:

D1 tension gashes with east-west to east-northeast orientations and with slight right-lateral offsets that developed in the late Eocene and host the first hydrothermal vein systems,

D2 north-south right-lateral strike-slip to transtensional faults that have been inferred to have occurred in the early Oligocene and produced a second set of hydrothermal veins,

D3 major block faulting that affected the entire district along north-northwest striking normal faults, occurred during the late Oligocene-- Miocene period.

Geological mapping on the Panuco project is at an early stage and the most comprehensive mapping was carried out by the SGM that was published in 1999. The oldest rocks on the property comprise windows of basement Carboniferous metasediments and phyllite. These metasedimentary rocks are unconformably overlain by what was likely a thick package of andesitic volcanics of the Tarahumara Formation that was subsequently intruded by a diorite complex centered under the Panuco property in the Late Paleocene. Locally this intrusion incorporated clasts of the Tarahumara Formation andesite in a contact breccia. Perhaps contemporaneously, granodiorite to quartz monzonite intruded in the Panuco Project area and is mainly exposed in the footwall of the Animas - Refugio structure (Henry, 2003). The intrusive activity is Laramide-equivalent with an age date of 56.6±0.7 Ma. Following a period of uplift and erosion when much of the Tarahumara Formation andesites were eroded away, a waterlain package of hyaloclastites composed of alternating sequences of rhyolite ash or lapilli tuff, interlayered with andesite tuffs or flows of likely Eocene age were unconformably overlain on the earlier andesites and the roots of the intrusions. The package of hyaloclastites is hundreds of metres thick and was also intruded by small stocks or plugs of dacite, rhyolite flows domes, quartz porphyry, and cut by narrow andesite, andesite porphyry, dacite and fine-rained felsic dykes.

In the late Eocene or early Oligocene this package of rocks underwent broadly east-west extension marked by north-northeast to north oriented faulting. This extensional event is associated with a large hydrothermal event that developed the district's mineralized veins. The hydrothermal event was protracted enough to develop multiple veining events and cross-cutting faulting. The hydrothermal activity was also associated with magmatic pebble dykes, although the timing of the dykes has not been well established. The pebble dykes appear to be associated with the widespread dissemination of fine-grained pyrite into the volcanic units. After hydrothermal activity and mineralization, the mineralized structures were intruded by rhyolite dykes and were dissected and / or boudinaged by continued faulting. Finally, late andesite dykes intruded the system that do not appear to have been affected the post-mineral faulting.



Figure 9: Stratigraphic Columns for the Project Area from Montoya-Lopera et al (2019).

On the Panuco Project, Starling has interpreted that north-northeast extension developed a series of west-northwest trending veins. Starling also notes that the low angle of some of these veins and tilting of rhyolites in the hanging wall of the Animas - Refugio structure, in particular, suggest that many of the veins were listric faults that reactivated from Laramide thrust faults. This geometry indicates the potential for multiple second-order, sub-parallel veins in the hanging walls of these west-northwest trending veins. The mineralized shoots associated with these listric normal faults will tend to be sub-horizontal in form. The rocks in the Panuco Project may have been tilted to the southwest and if so, then veins in the east part of the district have been more deeply eroded at exposed at a deeper level. Also, veins in the west part of the district may then have been exposed to shallower levels with weaker surface anomalies and mineralization occurring at a deeper level than in the eastern part of the project. Late to post-mineral north-northwest, north-northeast and east-northeast steep faults have partitioned the structural corridors and the geometry and locations of economic veining in each block may be distinct from neighbouring blocks.

7.3 Property Mineralization

Mineralization on the property comprises a number of epithermal quartz veins. To date approximately 75 kilometres of these veins have been traced by Vizsla and previous workers. Individual vein corridors are up to 3.7 kilometres long and range from decimeters to greater than 10 metres in width. Veins have narrow envelopes of silicification, local argillic alteration and are commonly marked by clay gouge. More distal alteration comprises propylitic alteration as chlorite.

The best mineralization along this fault corridor comprises hydrothermal quartz breccia with grey silica in the matrix and white or grey quartz clasts. The grey colour is due to the presence of very fine-grained disseminated sulphides, presumed to be mainly argentite or acanthite. A number of hydrothermal breccias have been discriminated to date by Vizsla and breccias with grey quartz occurring more commonly at lower levels of the fault structures and more barren white quartz-rich breccias occur in the upper part of the mineralized zone. Locally, mineralized zones are cut by narrow, banded quartz veins with thin dark bands of argentite / acanthite and pyrite. In the higher-grade zones fine-grained pyrite is disseminated in the quartz with rare fine-grained sphalerite and / or galena. Bladed quartz pseudomorphs after calcite have been noted at a number of locations within the fault zone and are indicative of boiling conditions. All the mineralized zones have been cut by later quartz veinlets with a mix of white quartz and purple amethyst. The amethyst is thought to be related to mixing of near surface waters as the hydrothermal system is collapsing, as has been noted at the nearby San Dimas district (Montoya-Lopera et al, 2019).



7.3.1 Animas-Refugio Corridor

The Animas - Refugio structural corridor is a large fault zone located roughly in the center of the project area and hosts the largest number of historic and current workings (Figures 12 and 13). The corridor trends northwest-southeast and dips moderately to the southwest. The fault zone that defines this corridor typically has a clay fault gouge contact in either the hanging wall and/or the footwall contact and ranges in width from a few metres to over 20 metres. It has a strike length of over 3.7 kilometres and extends from the San Carlos mine in the southeast to the claim boundary in the northwest. There are historic references that the corridor continues to the southeast of the San Carlos mine, but mapping of this area remains pending. To date, ten main mineralized shoots have been exploited along this corridor, from the southeast to the northwest these are: San Carlos, Clemens, El Muerto, La Pipa, Mariposa, El 40, San Martin, El 150, El 200, Rosario, and La Bomba. In addition to the main moderately dipping mineralized zone there are numerous secondary mineralized structures, including a hanging wall splay at the Mariposa Mine and the Paloma Vein.

This corridor was first drilled by Minera Bacis in the late 1990's, but no details of this work are available. The corridor was subsequently drilled by Rio Panuco between 1999 and 2001 and by Silverstone between 2007 and 2008.

The hanging wall of the fault zone is composed of a package of waterlain volcanic rocks with interlayered andesite tuffs and flows and with rhyolite tuffs higher up in the sequence. Quenched clast textures in the tuffs indicate that they are hyaloclastites. A fine-grained diorite has been observed at lower levels within the hanging wall section. The footwall package consists of fine- to medium-grained grained diorite to granodiorite. The fine-grained nature of the intrusives and overprinting silicification and propylitization hamper definitive intrusive rock classification.

The Animas - Refugio corridor is marked by prominent propylitic alteration, defined by chlorite that extends 50 to 100 metres into the hanging wall. Immediately adjacent to the controlling fault structure, silicification and minor quartz veinlets are present. The fault structure and host to mineralization comprises distinct quartz veins and moderate to strong pervasive silicification with associated crackle breccia veining. The upper and lower boundaries of the mineralized zone within the fault are usually marked by clay gouge zones with common milled clasts in them. The milled clasts comprise wallrock and white quartz vein fragments, indicating that these faults had significant movement after mineralization. The footwall contact of the fault zone commonly has a clay gouge contact and local crackle brecciation and silicification that overprints earlier propylitic alteration in the diorite to granodiorite. Magnetite destruction has been observed in the diorite and granodiorite adjacent to the fault zone. A number of hydrothermal breccias have been discriminated to date by Vizsla and breccias with grey quartz occur at lower levels of the fault structure and more barren white quartz-rich breccias occur in the upper part of the mineralized zone.

The Animas - Refugio corridor is interpreted to be a re-activated northwest to west-northwest trending normal fault that dips to the southwest (Starling, 2020). It is likely the re-activation of a Laramide aged thrust fault and as the dip shallows at depth (as noted in drill holes AMS19-03 AMS19-04). Where topography has preserved the upper portions of the structure, as at San Martin, the structure is steeper. The normal fault defining the Animas - Refugio corridor is interpreted as the east side of a graben structure, with the Cordon del Oro trend comprising the west side of the graben. The graben structure has been cut by north-northeast- and north- northwest trending subvertical transfer / tear faults that helped to accommodate extension during the main mineralizing phase. Slickensides on these cross faults show a shallow to moderate dip to the southwest, but have minimal movement as they are just accommodating extension along the fault and do not offset the main trend of the Animas-Refugio structure. These cross faults appear to have provided local boundaries within the fault zone that control the intrusion of post-mineral andesite dykes as noted in underground mapping in the Mariposa ore shoot.

7.3.2 Cordon del Oro

The Cordon del Oro structural corridor is an east-dipping normal fault zone located in the west central portion of the project area that trends roughly north-northwest and dips moderately to the east (Figures 15 and 16). This structure has a small number of historic workings. This fault typically has a clay fault gouge contact on either contact and ranges in width from a few metres to over 15 metres. To date the structure has been traced by mapping for approximately 4.6 kilometres in length from the Peralta mine in the southeast to the highway in the northwest. There are historic references of southeast and northwest extensions of the fault beyond this area, but the extensions are yet to be confirmed by Vizsla. The Cordon del Oro structure is likely the west side of a graben with the Animas structure defining the east margin of the graben. Only four main mineralized shoots have been exploited along the main Cordon del Oro corridor, from the southeast to the northwest these are: Peralta, La Cobriza, Mojocuan 1 and Mojocuan 2. Four additional mineralized shoots occur along the San Antonio splay: Los Generales, Coralillo, San Antonio and La Venada.

The Cordon del Oro corridor is not known to have been drilled and mining completed to date occurred in the last century and was mainly on one level with lengths of workings of less than 100 metres. Most mining only extended about 10 to 20 metres below surface and the deepest of the historic mining appears to have reached about 60 metres below surface. Only the Coralillo Mine has more than one level of development and was mined to about 60 metres depth along approximately 150 metres of strike length.

At lower elevations, the Cordon del Oro structure cuts a fine-grained diorite that is weakly to strongly magnetic and corresponds with a magnetic anomaly in regional airborne magnetic surveys. In the Mojocuan 1 and Mojocuan 2 Mine areas the structure cuts dacite and granodiorite (Figure 16). At higher elevations, in the central part of the vein corridor and along the San Antonio splay, the structure cuts a series of shallowly west-dipping rhyolite tuffs and andesite flows. Local rhyolite and andesite dykes intrude the host rocks and intrude along the mineralized structure. A quartz porphyry and granite porphyry are noted in underground workings at the Mojocuan 1 and Mojocuan 2 Mines.

Propylitic alteration, as defined by chlorite, is the most prominent distal alteration along the structure and extends at least 50 to 100 metres from the fault zone into the host rocks. Proximal to the fault, patchy silicification, minor quartz veinlets and fracturing are developed. Weak to moderate argillic alteration is locally developed proximal to the faults, particularly along the San Antonio splay. The diorite exhibits magnetite destruction along the fault and proximal to mineralization. This magnetite destruction is apparent in the aeromagnetic response for the Cordon del Oro vein and indicates that the vein likely extends to the northwest and a north-trending splay appears to correspond to the Verdosilla vein. Zones of stockwork quartz veining have also been noted in the Mojocuan mines, but it does not appear to be significantly mineralized in initial sampling.

The Cordon del Oro structure is interpreted to be a north to north-northwest trending normal fault on the west side of a graben which has been subjected to repeated movement and later cross-faulting (Starling, 2020). The San Antonio structure is an east-west trending and set of sub-parallel faults that dip mainly to the south and is interpreted as a hanging wall splay of the main Cordon del Oro structure.

7.3.3 Cinco Señores and Napoleon

The Cinco Señores and Napoleon structural corridors comprise two sub-parallel fault zones located in the western portion of the project area that trend roughly north-northwest with subvertical dips (Figures 18 and 19). These structural corridors host the second largest concentration of historic workings on the property, some of which date to the 1500's. The faults comprising the two structural corridors and range in width from a few metres to over 12 metres. The Cinco Señores has a strike length of over 2.6 kilometres from the El Tajito mine in the southeast to El Cajon in the northwest. Eight mineralized shoots are present along the Cinco Señores corridor; El Tajito, La Tacoacha, Santa Ana, Santana, Descubridora, Cinco Señores 01, Cinco Señores 03, La Manzanilla and El Cajon. The Cinco Señores structure comprises a single narrow fault zone with quartz veining approximately one to two metres wide. One moderately northeast-dipping notable splay off this structure was mined out at La Descubridora, just west of the town of Copal (Figure 20).

The Napoleon structure comprises a fissure vein to a subparallel set of faults about 20 metres apart that host quartz veins and breccias along the faults and in dilational fault jogs between the faults. At least 10 main mineralized shoots have been exploited along the Napoleon corridor. From the southeast to the northwest these are: El Gallinero, Napoleon 07, Napoleon 05, Napoleon 04, El Hundido, La Higuera, Limoncito, Los Rieles, El Papayo, El Agua Prieta, Aguajes and La Estrella. The sub-parallel faults and dilational jogs are located in the southern portion of the structure and the northern portion of the structure comprises a single fissure vein. Local horse-tail splays with short strike lengths are noted off the main vein.

There are historic references to extension of both structures to the southeast but the extensions are yet to be confirmed by Vizsla.

Most historic mining along the structures of Cinco and Napoleon extended to about 10 to 20 metres below surface to a maximum of about 100 metres depth below surface in select workings. Mining typically stopped when the water table was encountered. In particular, Silverstone mined a few segments along 400 metres of the Napoleon trend, particularly beneath El Gallinero to Napoleon Hundido. Part of the Cinco Señores corridor was drilled by Silverstone in 2007 and 2008, but few details of this work are available as most of Silverstone's drilling was 400 metres to the east at La Colorada.

At lower elevations the structures are hosted in a fine-grained weakly to strongly magnetic diorite and at higher elevations, particularly in the central part of the vein corridors the structures are hosted in a series of shallowly west-dipping rhyolite tuffs and andesite flows.

As at Animas - Refugio and Cordon del Oro, distal propylitic alteration as chlorite marks the structures and extends 50 to 100 metres from the fault zone, although alteration is less prevalent on the Cinco Señores structure. Patchy silicification, minor quartz veinlets and fracturing are present more proximal to the structures and local, weakly developed argillic alteration may also be present. These faults typically have a clay fault gouge contact on each contact. Magnetite destruction in diorite is apparent for the Napoleon structure, but is not apparent for the Cinco Señores structure. A 20 to 30 centimetre wide zone of alteration resembling high sulphidation style vuggy silica alteration has been noted adjacent to the vein at the Los Rieles prospect of the Napoleon structure. This alteration may have been produced from an unbuffered magmatic fluid or from a supergene acidic fluid.

The Napoleon and Cinco Señores faults are interpreted to be north to north-northwest trending strike slip faults that have been reactivated and subjected to later cross-faulting (Starling, 2020). Later cross- faulting, likely related to Basin and Range extension, gives the overall effect of post-mineralization dextral transtensional displacement across the east-west to west-northwest trending reactivated faults.

7.3.4 La Colorada

The La Colorada silver and gold deposit located about one kilometre northwest of the village of Copala. Christopher and Sim (2008) described the geology of La Colorada as a manto and feeder vein system hosted in andesite overlying a large diorite intrusive. The manto is cut by a north striking rhyolite dyke that may be associated with a rhyolite flow dome on the northwest flank of the manto. The veins and manto in the La Colorada area are bounded by northwest striking faults. A keel marking the thickest manto development strikes north parallel to felsic dyking in this area. This north-south trend was interpreted as the result from a combination of strike-slip movements on northwest and northeast striking orthogonal faults.

The La Colorada vein system occurs along a pronounced northwest striking lineament that bisects a largest of a series of circular features that Christopher and Sim (2008) interpreted as caldera margins.


8.0 DEPOSIT TYPES

The geologic setting of the Panuco Project is prospective for several types of mineral deposits. Late Cretaceous to Paleocene batholiths that intrude Tarahumara Formation rocks that form part of the SMO are prospective for porphyry copper and molybdenum deposits. Late Cretaceous plutons that intrude of Guerrero arc limestone are favourable for the development of gold-rich and polymetallic skarns and replacement deposits. However, the mineralization best developed and explored on the property comprises epithermal silver and gold veins associated with extensional faulting within the SMO volcanic arc.

EPITHERMAL SYSTEMS

Epithermal gold deposits consist of fissure veins and disseminations of gold, silver and base metals that have formed within 1.0 to 1.5 kilometres of the Earth's surface. The majority of epithermal deposits form as open-space filling of faults resulting in vein deposits, but disseminated mineralization, gold in particular, may occur as a replacement of permissive host rocks (disseminated deposits). Due to their development in the upper portions of the earth's crust, most of the epithermal precious metal deposits have been preserved in Tertiary volcanic rocks but Jurassic and Paleozoic examples also exist. They occur dominantly in extensional settings in volcanic island and continent margin arcs and within continental volcanic settings. Epithermal deposits have been classified according to the nature of the mineralizing fluids and the forms and textures of the mineralization into two main classes, high and low to intermediate sulphidation. The Panuco project exhibits characteristics of the low to intermediate sulphidation class of epithermal deposits.

Historically, epithermal gold and silver deposits are an important part of the world's precious metal budget as approximately 6% and 16% of the world's gold and silver, respectively have been produced from epithermal deposits. These deposits are especially important in Mexico. Mineable epithermal vein deposits range from 50,000 to 2,000,000 tonnes in size, with typical grades ranging from 1 to 20 g/t gold and 10 to 1,000 g/t silver. Locally exceptional, or "bonanza" grades in excess of 20 g/t gold can be important contributors in many of the gold deposits. Lead and zinc are also important contributors in low and intermediate sulphidation classes of epithermal deposits. Veins that host mineralization are on the order of several kilometres in length, however economic mineralization is present in plunging ore shoots with dimensions of tens of metres by hundreds of metres or more. Single veins commonly host multiple ore shoots. The wide range of tonnage and grade characteristics make these deposits attractive targets for small and large mining companies.

In low and intermediate sulphidation deposits, metals, both precious and base metals, are transported in magmatic fluids that subsequently mix with meteoric fluids as they move into shallow levels of the crust resulting in cool and relatively dilute fluids. Mineral deposition takes place as the solutions undergo cooling and degassing by further fluid mixing, boiling and decompression. Near-surface hydrothermal systems, ranging from hot springs at surface to deeper, structurally and permeability focused fluid flow zones approximately 1,500 metres below the surface are the typical sites of mineralization. The zone where these fluids boil is the favourable location for gold deposition with silver and base metal mineralization occurring beneath the boiling zone.

Quartz veins are typical hosts for low and intermediate sulphidation mineralization and these veins have characteristic alteration assemblages that indicate temperatures of deposition of between 100° and 300°C. These alteration assemblages include quartz, carbonates, adularia and barite in the veins, illite, adularia, smectite, mixed-layer clays and chlorite proximal to the vein walls and distal chlorite, calcite, epidote and pyrite more peripherally. Also, unmineralized but related steam-heated argillic alteration or "lithocaps" and silica sinters may be present above or above and laterally from the veins. The vein alteration assemblages and steam-heated argillic alteration can be effectively targeted using hyperspectral remote sensing techniques.


Figure 21: Epithermal Precious Metal Deposits, Occurrences and Deposit Ages (Edad) in Mexico. From Camprubi and Albinson (2007).


Vein textures are also important guides for targeting low and intermediate sulphidation mineralization. Quartz commonly occurs with cockade and comb textures, as breccias, as microcrystalline, chalcedonic and colloform banded quartz, and as bladed or lattice quartz. Bladed or lattice quartz forms by replacing bladed calcite formed from a boiling fluid and is a diagnostic indication of the level of boiling in a vein.

Ore minerals include pyrite, electrum, gold, silver, argentite, acanthite, silver sulphosalts, sphalerite, galena, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite and/or selenide minerals. In alkalic host rocks tellurides, vanadium mica (roscoelite) and fluorite may be abundant, with lesser molybdenite. These mineralized systems have strong geochemical signatures in rocks, soils and sediments and Au, Ag, Zn. Pb, Cu, As, Sb, Ba, F, Mn, Te, Hg and Se may be used to vector to mineralization.

9.0 EXPLORATION

Vizsla commenced exploration on the Panuco project in July, 2019. This work has comprised geological mapping, rock geochemical sampling and diamond drilling.

A total of 1361 rock samples have been collected from surface at 14 vein systems. A total of 482 samples have been collected from underground exposures at 11 vein segments. Surface sampling returned values from <0.005 parts per million ("ppm) gold, <0.5 ppm silver, <20 ppm lead and 2 ppm zinc to maxima of 38.2 ppm gold, 1900 ppm silver, 2.34% lead and 4.66% zinc.


10.0 DRILLING

VIZSLA DRILLING

Vizsla commenced diamond drilling on the Panuco project in November, 2019. To date, there have been 3332.0 metres drilled in 14 holes (Table 16 below) on three structures of the Animas - Refugio vein system. One hole was lost before completion to target depth. Vizsla has carried out limited drill testing of the Animas - Refugio structure at depth below the La Pipa mineralized shoot (drill holes AMS19-01A and AMS19-02), beneath the Mariposa workings (drill holes AMS20-03 and AMS20-04), the newly discovered Paloma Vein (drill holes AMS20-05 to AMS20-07) and the Honduras Vein (AMS20-08 to AMS20-13).

Drill holes are generally oriented to test structures perpendicular to their strike. Holes are started with PQ diameter core and reduced to HQ and, if necessary, NQ diameter. Drill hole collars are surveyed by Trimble differential GPS and Total Station and downhole orientations of drill hole azimuth, inclination and total magnetic field are recorded by a Devico survey instrument every 50 metres downhole. A magnetic declination of 7° was used for correction of drill hole azimuths. Drill hole recovery and rock quality descriptor (RQD) are recorded for all drilled intervals.

Hole AM19-01 was lost before completion to target depth.

Drilling to date by Vizsla has been limited and has tested four veins along the Animas - Refugio vein corridor; La Pipa, Mariposa, Paloma and Honduras. Two holes on one section were drilled to test the downdip extent of the La Pipa structure. Hole AMS-19-01A intersected a portion of the mined-out workings with a vein in its footwall but the footwall vein returned no significant values. Additional quartz veins were intersected deeper in the hole but also failed to return significant values. Hole AMS-19-02 was drilled to test the La Pipa structure 77 metres down-dip on the same section. The hole intersected a zone of low-grade quartz veinlets that are interpreted to be the down-dip extension of the La Pipa structure. In addition, the hole intersected a shallow quartz vein in the hanging wall of the La Pipa structure that returned 3.0 metres grading 125.3 g/t silver and 0.59 g/t gold.


 The Mariposa section of the Animas - Refugio structure was drilled by two holes on one section designed to test the down-dip extension of the structure that has also seen extensive mining in the near-surface environment. Hole, AMS-20-03, intersected a 3.55 metre wide vein within a broad stockwork zone with low-grade mineralization that includes 3.0 metres at 64.0 g/t silver and 0.72 g/t gold from 198.0 metres downhole. Hole AMS-20-04 intersected the vein approximately 40 metres down-dip from hole AMS19-03. The vein in AMS-20-04 was 11.3 metres wide and graded 51.4 g/t silver and 0.82 g/t gold. A higher- grade subinterval that returned 45.1 g/t silver and 2.46 g/t gold is associated with significant base metal sulphide mineralization.

Three holes tested the Paloma vein located approximately one kilometre northwest of the Mariposa drill holes on a splay of the Animas - Refugio structure. Drill hole AMS-20-05 intersected a narrow mineralized vein that returned 142.0 g/t silver and 1.05 g/t gold. Drill hole AMS-20-06 was drilled to intersect the vein along strike to the northwest from AMS-20-05 and intersected the vein at a shallower depth and was a 20 metre stepout from AMS-20-05. The vein in AMS-20-06 returned 3.55 metres grading 264.4 g/t silver and 1.25 g/t gold. Hole AMS-20-07 drilled to test the down-dip extent of the vein in AMS- 20-06 and intersected a shallow vein that returned 62.9 g/t silver and 0.27 g/t gold over 0.5 metres. The shallow depth of this vein suggests that is a splay of the Paloma vein or that the vein has been off-set by post-mineral faulting.

Seven holes were drilled to test the Honduras vein which is interpreted as a north-striking sub-vertical splay of the Animas - Refugio structure located approximately 1250 metres north of the Paloma vein. Drill holes AMS-20-08 through AMS-20-14 were drilled from two drill pads to test the Honduras vein. Drill hole AMS20-08 returned 4.35 metres at 208.5 g/t silver and 0.83 g/t gold with a significant higher grade sub-interval approximately 170 metres below surface. The mineralization was in a massive quartz vein with irregular patches of very fine-grained argentite. Hole AMS-20-09 was drilled to test the vein 50 metres along strike to the north and returned a low-grade intersection from a massive white quartz vein 0.5 metres wide. Drill holes AMS-20-10 and 11 were drilled 50 metres to the south and 50 metres down- dip of the intersection in AMS-20-08 and returned no significant intersections. Limited zones of quartz veinlets and quartz breccia suggest that the vein pinches out down-dip and to the south.

Drill holes AMS-20-12 through AMS-20-14 at Honduras were drilled from one pad 200 metres to the north-northeast of holes AMS-20-08 through AMS-20-11. Hole AMS-20-12 returned 2.6 metres at 150.6 g/t silver and 1.02 g/t gold and included 294.0 g/t silver and 2.09 g/t gold over 0.7 metres. The mineralization in this hole comprised mainly massive white quartz with minor fine-grained argentite and minor bands of amethyst. Hole AMS-20-13 was drilled on the same section to test the vein approximately 70 metres down-dip and intersected a 12.8 metre wide vein that failed to return significant values. Hole AMS-20-14 was drilled 50 metres to the south of this section and returned two narrow anomalous intersections over 0.9 and 0.4 metres.

The most significant mineralization encountered to date is at the Mariposa vein which remains open down-dip and along strike to the northwest and southeast. Significant mineralization has also been intersected at Honduras and remains open to the north and between the two areas tested by 2020 drilling. Drilling to date by Vizsla has been scout drilling in nature. Drilling has tested four zones along the Animas - Refugio structure, but has only tested a cumulative strike length of less than 300 metres. The down- dip testing of these veins has been similarly limited.

HISTORIC DRILLING

Silverstone drilled 200 holes for a total of 21640.81 metres on the Animas - Refugio and La Colorada Veins between 2005 and 2008. Drill hole orientations were generally oriented perpendicular to the strike of the of the veins targeted. Core was drilled with HQ tools, however some holes were reduced to NQ diameter when necessitated by drill conditions. Collars were surveyed in UTM NAD27 datum using a total station TOPCON instrument, model GTS-236W. Downhole survey readings were recorded using either an Eastman Single Shot or Reflex EZ-Shot instrument approximately every 50 metres depending on the depth of the hole. In 2005 magnetic declination in Concordia was 14°E, in 2008 it was 8.8°E and in 2019 it is 7.1°E.

Data for drilling along the Animas - Refugio structure is limited to collar, downhole surveys, assays, recovery, lithology and specific gravity and no drill logs or assay certificates are available. Data for 64 drill holes at La Colorada includes:

 Digital drill logs that include lithologic, alteration, structural and sample data,

 Downhole survey,

 Core recovery, RQD, and specific gravity data,

 Low resolution core photos,

 Drill sections in AutoCAD *.dxf format, and



 Digital assay certificates are available in *.csv format, however limited signed assay certificates are available.

The available data indicates that a number of the holes that tested La Colorada have low or no recovery. Most of the core from the Silverstone drilling has been discarded, however, select intervals have been stored in a small building near Copala.

11.0 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSIS AND SECURITY

11.1 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSIS AND SECURITY

11.1.1 ROCK SAMPLES

A total of 1570 rock samples have been collected from surface and underground exposures. The lithology, alteration and structure of outcrop and underground exposures are mapped to determine controls on mineralization. Samples are then oriented, to the degree possible, perpendicular to mineralized structures and variations in mineralization, are sampled separately. At least one sample on either side of the mineralized structure is also collected. Samples are collected as continuous chip- channel with minimum sample lengths of 30 centimetres and maximum sample lengths of 1.5 metres. The sample length and the width of the chipped channel, typically 10 to 15 centimetres is recorded along with the samples estimated true width.

Sampling can be carried out by geologists or trained field assistants under the direct supervision of a geologist. All the chips of the channel sample are collected on a tarp and once the whole sample has been collected the sampled material is then to be mixed by folding the tarp in half in four different directions, rolling the material over itself and thus homogenizing the sample material. One quarter of that material is then poured into a labelled sample bag that also contains the uniquely-labelled sample ticket. In the case of field duplicates, a second quarter of that sample (from the opposite quadrant) is then poured into a second labelled sample bag with a second unique and uniquely-labelled sample ticket. The bag(s) is sealed with a plastic cinch cable tie and sample bags are transported to Vizsla's secured warehouse. No directors or officers of the company are involved in sample collection or preparation.

In the warehouse, certified reference materials and blanks are inserted into the sample sequence and samples are packed into large rice / sugar sacks for transport. A control file with rice / sugar sack number and rock sample numbers contained in each rice / sugar sack and the laboratory sample dispatch form accompanies the sample shipment and is used for control and monitoring of the shipment. The control files are used to track the progress of the samples to the lab and through to receiving results. The sample shipment is delivered to the ALS Limited laboratory in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico via a parcel transport company. ALS sends a confirmation note and sample log by electronic mail to confirm sample delivery.

Sample preparation is carried out the ALS Limited preparation laboratory in Zacatecas and sample pulps are forwarded to the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada for analysis. The ALS Zacatecas and North Vancouver facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Samples were dried, weighed and crushed and a 250-gram split and pulverized to at least 85% passing 75 microns. Silver and base metals are analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP finish and gold was assayed by 30-gram fire assay with atomic absorption ("AA") spectroscopy finish. Overlimit analyses for silver, lead and zinc are re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with AA finish.

It is the author's opinion that the sampling methods, preparation and security are adequate.

11.1.2 CORE SAMPLES

Core boxes are delivered to the drill site in such a manner that they are clean and free of grease at the site. The drill hole number is clearly marked on the core boxes by the driller. The driller places a wooden block in the core box at the end each core interval recovered from the hole that clearly shows the distance down hole in metres. The core boxes are tightly sealed by a rope or rubber bands straps prior to transportation in drill site and Vizsla employees monitor the transportation of the core from the drill site to the core shack.


Upon arrival at the core shack, the drill core is cleaned and wet prior to being photographed. The drill core is logged for lithology, structure, alteration and mineralization prior to marking out sample intervals. The core is logged into digital logging files to record lithologic, alteration, mineralization, structural and sample data. Sample intervals are determined dominantly by vein and mineralization contacts, but also by alteration and lithology contacts. Suspected higher-grade intervals are sampled separately. The sample intervals do not exceed 1.5 metres and are not less than 0.20 metres. The geologist then marks a saw line on the core that evenly dissects mineralized structures, to the degree possible.

The sampler saws HQ core in half with half being submitted for analysis and half remaining in the core box as a record. The sampler saws PQ core such that one quarter of the core is submitted for analysis and the remaining three-quarters remains in the core box as a record. Only one piece of core is removed from of the core box at a time and care is taken to replace the unsampled portion of the core in the core box in the original orientation. The drill hole number and sample intervals are clearly entered into a sample book as a backup to the digital logging files. One portion of the uniquely-numbered sample ticket is stapled at the beginning of the corresponding sample interval in the core box by the geologist and one portion of the ticket is placed in the sample bag by the sampler. The sample ticket book is archived at the Concordia Camp. The sample bags are sealed with a plastic cinch cable tie and sample bags are stored in Vizsla's secured warehouse. No directors or officers of the company are involved in sample collection or preparation.

In the warehouse, certified reference materials and blanks are inserted into the sample sequence and samples are packed into large rice / sugar sacks for transport. A control file with rice / sugar sack number and rock sample numbers contained in each rice / sugar sack and the laboratory sample dispatch form accompanies the sample shipment and is used for control and monitoring of the shipment. The control files are used to track the progress of the samples to the lab and through to receiving results. The sample shipment is delivered to the ALS Limited laboratory in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico via a parcel transport company. ALS sends a confirmation note and sample log by electronic mail to confirm sample delivery.

Sample preparation is carried out the ALS Limited preparation laboratory in Zacatecas and sample pulps are forwarded to the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada for analysis. The ALS Zacatecas and North Vancouver facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Samples were dried, weighed and crushed and a 250-gram split and pulverized to at least 85% passing 75 microns. Silver and base metals are analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP finish and gold was assayed by 30-gram fire assay with atomic absorption ("AA") spectroscopy finish. Overlimit analyses for silver, lead and zinc are re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with AA finish.

It is the author's opinion that the sampling methods, preparation and security for core samples are adequate.

11.2 11.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL

11.3.1 ROCK SAMPLING

Vizsla's quality assurance / quality control program for surface and underground sampling comprises the systematic insertion of certified reference materials (standards), blanks, field and preparation duplicates. To date approximately one of seven samples submitted have been QA/QC samples and the summary of these samples are presented below in Table 18.

Table 18: QA / QC Statistics for 2019-2020 Surface and Underground Sampling Programs

Standards Blanks Field Duplicates Preparation Duplicates

Four certified reference materials have been used to date in the course of the 2019-2020 Panuco surface and underground sampling programs: multi-element standards CDN-ME-1606, CDN-ME-1806 and CDN- ME-1901 from CDN Resource Laboratories in Langley BC and gold-silver standard SN97 from Rocklabs in Auckland, New Zealand. The means and standard deviations established during round robin standard certification are used for calculating warning and control limits. Warning limits are set at the mean ±2 standard deviations (σ) and control limits are set at ±3σ. Any single standard beyond the upper or lower control limits is deemed a failure and consecutive standards on the same certificate exceeding the warning limits are also deemed failures.

Shewhart charts which plot concentration versus sample sequence with warning and failure limits are presented below. By plotting the z-score, multiple standards can be displayed for each element; the z- score levels, the accepted value and standard deviation ("s.d.") for each standard. Warning limits are indicated by a z-score of ±2σ and control limits are indicated by a z-score of ±3σ.

Analysis of the standards and Shewhart charts for silver, gold, lead and zinc in standards has identified seven failures; one failure for silver, two failures for zinc and four failures for lead. The samples in these batches corresponding with the failed standards should be re-analyzed if the surface and underground samples are to be used in future resource calculations.

Figure 23: Shewhart Chart for Silver - Rocks. Indicates that one standard in the surface and underground sample series falls outside of failure limits at +3 s.d..

Blank samples were inserted into the sample stream in the field to determine the degree of sample contamination after sample collection, particularly during the sample preparation process. Material used for blanks comprised obsidian from sources in Jalisco. Review of the analytical results from the blanks



samples indicates that five blank samples returned elevated values in gold, silver, lead or zinc. Each blank sample with elevated values immediately followed moderate to high grade gold-silver±lead±zinc mineralization. The level of contamination is not material but contamination in blank samples should be continued to be monitored. In particular, additional blank samples should be inserted after visible lead- zinc mineralization as it correlates well with silver and gold values.

The main elements of interest on the Panuco Project are silver and gold and, to a lesser extent, lead and zinc. As a rule of thumb, for precious metals in rocks, one could expect 90% of field duplicates to have a precision of 40% or better and similarly, one could expect that preparation duplicates to have a precision of 30% or better. Similarly, for base metals, one could expect 90% of field duplicates to have a precision of 30% or better and similarly, one could expect that preparation duplicates to have a precision of 20% or better.

Precision of gold in rock field duplicates is fair with 90% of field duplicates having a precision of about 50% while precision of preparation duplicates is good with 90% of field duplicates having a precision of about 20% (Figure 24).

Figure 24: Absolute Relative Difference vs. Rank for Gold - Rocks. From this chart for field duplicates it can be read that 90% of samples have a precision of better than 50%. Similarly, for preparation duplicates it can be read that 90% of samples have a precision of better than 20%.

Similarly, precision of silver in rock field duplicates is fair with 90% of field duplicates having a precision of about 50% while precision of preparation duplicates is good with 90% of field duplicates having a precision of about 20% (Figure 25). The scatter plot in Figure 26 illustrates the precision of silver in field duplicates and the influence of two outliers at concentrations of approximately 700 and 7000 ppm silver.


Figure 25: Absolute Relative Difference vs. Rank for Silver - Rocks. From this chart for field duplicates it can be read that 90% of samples have a precision of better than 50%. Similarly, for preparation duplicates it can be read that 90% of samples have a precision of better than 20%.

Figure 26: Scatter Plot for Rock Field Duplicates - Ag. Illustrates the influence of duplicate pairs with concentrations of about 700 and 7000 ppm silver.


The precision of duplicates with respect to lead and zinc is similar to the precision of gold and silver.

Summary:

For rock sampling the precision of preparation duplicates is good while the precision of field duplicates is fair and acceptable. The fair precision of field duplicates is likely due to error introduced in the field sample splitting process, however, this error is not deemed material to the program. Monitoring of precision should be continued.

Review of blank samples indicated a minor degree of contamination between samples but it is not deemed material. However, additional cleaning between samples of suspected high-grade samples should be carried out through the insertion of additional blanks in the sample stream or in the laboratory.

A limited number of standard samples fell outside of control limits and the corresponding batches should be re-analyzed if the samples are to be used in a future resource calculation.

It is my opinion that the Vizsla rock sampling data is reliable for exploration purposes.

11.3.2 CORE SAMPLING

Vizsla's quality assurance / quality control program comprises the systematic insertion of certified reference materials (standards), blanks, field and preparation duplicates. To date approximately one of seven samples submitted have been QA/QC samples. In summary, 23 blanks, 22 standards, 11 field duplicate-pairs and 12 preparation duplicate-pairs have been submitted.

Three certified reference materials have been used to date in the course of the 2019-2020 Panuco drill program: multi-element standards CDN-ME-1806 and CDN-ME-1901 from CDN Resource Laboratories in Langley BC and gold-silver standard SN97 from Rocklabs in Auckland, New Zealand. The means and standard deviations and warning and control limits for standards are established as per the surface and underground sampling program described above in section 12.1.1.

Table 21: Certified Reference Materials For 2019-2020 Panuco Drilling

Shewhart charts which plot concentration versus sample sequence with warning and failure limits are presented below. As with surface and underground samples, warning limits are indicated by a z-score of ±2σ and control limits are indicated by a z-score of ±3σ. The Shewhart charts for gold, lead and zinc in standards indicate that all samples were within warning and control limits. The Shewhart chart for silver however identified two failures at -3 s.d. and +3 s.d.. As these samples were located within analytical batches that were not materially mineralized, no corrective actions were taken nor are necessary unless the samples are to be used in future resource calculations.



Figure 27: Shewhart Chart for Gold - Core. Indicates that all standards in the core sample stream are within warning and failure limits.

Figure 28: Shewhart Chart for Silver - Core. Indicates that two standards in the core sample stream fall outside of failure limits at +3 s.d. and -3 s.d..


As per the surface and underground sampling protocol, blank samples, comprising obsidian from sources in Jalisco, were inserted into the sample stream in the field to determine the degree of sample contamination after sample collection, particularly during the sample preparation process. Review of the analytical results from the blanks samples indicates that all blank samples in the drill core sample stream returned uniformly low values in all elements of interest. Therefore, no contamination was apparent from the analysis of the blank samples.

The number of drill core field and preparation duplicate-pairs is, to date, not sufficient for a comprehensive statistical analysis, but the data can still be illustrative. The main elements of interest on the Panuco Project are silver and gold and, to a lesser extent, lead and zinc. As a rule of thumb, for precious metals in rocks, one could expect 90% of field duplicates to have a precision of 40% or better and similarly, one could expect that preparation duplicates to have a precision of 30% or better. Similarly, for base metals, one could expect 90% of field duplicates to have a precision of 30% or better and similarly, one could expect that preparation duplicates to have a precision of 20% or better.

With respect to silver, 90% of field and preparation duplicates have poor precision of about 80% and 90%, respectively (Figure 29). As illustrated in the scatter chart (Figure 30), the poor precision in field duplicates is influenced by two duplicate-pairs. The poor precision in preparation duplicates is due to poor precision in one duplicate-pair.

Figure 29: Absolute Relative Difference vs. Rank for Silver - Core. From this chart for field duplicates (or quarter core) it can be read 90% of samples have a precision of better than 80%. Similarly, for preparation duplicates it can be read that 90% of samples have a precision of better than 90%.


Figure 30: Scatter Plot for Core Field Duplicates - Silver. Illustrates poor precision for field duplicates influenced by two duplicate-pairs at high concentrations.

With respect to gold, 90% of field duplicates have poor precision of about 70% and 90% of preparation duplicates have good precision of better than 20% (Figure 31).

Figure 31: Absolute Relative Difference vs. Rank for Gold - Core. From this chart for field duplicates (or quarter core) it can be read 90% of samples have a precision of approximately 70%. Similarly, for preparation duplicates it can be read that 90% of samples have a precision of better than 20%.


Figure 32: Scatter Plot for Core Field Duplicates - Gold.

Thus far, the precision of duplicates with respect to lead and zinc is better than the precision of gold and silver. Both lead and zinc have good precision in preparation duplicates and fair precision in field duplicates

The precision of the field and preparation duplicates should continue to be monitored as the drill program progresses.

Summary:

The limited number of field and preparation duplicates collected as part of the drill program is not sufficient for a comprehensive analysis. Thus far with respect to gold, lead and zinc, the precision of preparation duplicates is fair and acceptable while the precision of field duplicates is poor. The precision with respect to silver of field and preparation duplicates is poor. The poor precision with respect to silver is due to the limited size of the data set and also due to the uneven distribution of mineralization, similar to the "nugget effect" in gold. Care should continue to be taken in avoiding sampling bias by marking samples that as evenly as possible bisect veins. Monitoring of precision should be continued and may require the use of larger sample sizes such as split as opposed to quartered PQ core.

No evidence of contamination was noted in blank samples and the systematic insertion and monitoring of blank samples should be continued. In particular, and based on the results of rock sampling, contamination may require the insertion of additional blank samples following suspected higher grade mineralization.

Review of standard samples indicated a limited number of samples that fell outside of control limits, however these samples were not deemed material. If the samples are to be used in a future resource calculation, the corresponding batches should be re-analyzed.

It is the author's opinion that the Vizsla core sampling data is reliable for exploration purposes.


12.0 DATA VERIFICATION

The author examined the property from March 3rd to 6th, 2020 to review and inspect 2019-2020 drill core and reviewed mineralization on the Animas - Refugio structural corridor at the Honduras, Paloma, Mariposa, La Pipa, Mina Clemens, Mina El Muerto showings and the San Carlos Mine.

A second visit for due diligence sampling has been deferred due to the outbreak of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic as non-essential travel at the time of writing remained not recommended by government authorities in Canada.

Vizsla rock sample data was compiled and assay certificates were verified for completeness and accuracy. Vizsla drill hole data comprising digital logging tables, geotechnical data, downhole survey data was compiled and drill hole locations, and assay certificates were verified for completeness and accuracy.

Historic Silverstone drill hole data for holes drilled at La Colorada was reviewed including digital drill logs, geotechnical data, drill sections and digital assay certificates. Digital assay certificates are available in *.csv format but limited signed assay certificates are available. The author has reviewed and verified the Silverstone data to the extent possible. However, despite the limited number of signed assay certificates, the assay data looks reasonable and it is the author's opinion that it is not materially modified and can be used for exploration targeting purposes.

It is the author's opinion that the data in this report is accurate and that it is adequate for exploration purposes.

13.0 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

No mineral processing or metallurgical testing has been carried out by Vizsla.

14.0 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

No mineral resource estimate has been prepared by Vizsla.

15.0 ADJACENT AND INTERNAL PROPERTIES

No adjacent or internal properties are considered in this report.

16.0 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS

Vizsla is earning a 100% interest in the Panuco Project from two sets of concession holders and this represents the first time the concessions of the Panuco-Copala mining district have been consolidated. The project covers approximately 53 square kilometres and is located 60 kilometres from Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. The project is accessed by paved highway and two powerlines cross the property.

Mining activity has been carried out in the Panuco-Copala mining district for over 400 years, however the mining history is not well documented. The first well-documented exploration and mining commenced late in the 20th century however, previous exploration was limited by the fragmented mineral tenure. Previous exploration comprised mapping and sampling and significant drill programs. Limited and generally small-scale mining are also prevalent throughout the district, but mining has not been optimized due to the fragmented mineral tenure.

The Panuco Project is located along the western margin of the northwest trending Sierra Madre Occidental, a continent-scale belt of volcanic and intrusive activity. Much of Mexico's silver and gold production has been and continues to be from the SMO. In the area of the project, the SMO is affected by a north-northwest trending belt of extension marked by normal faulting. These extensional normal faults are favourable structures for the development of epithermal silver-gold mineralization in the Panuco-Copala and other mining districts. At the property-scale, the project is underlain by Paleozoic metasedimentary basement rocks and Paleocene to Oligocene felsic and intermediate volcanic rocks of the SMO that have been intruded by Laramide-equivalent felsic batholiths.


To date, approximately 75 kilometres of low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal silver-gold veining have been identified on the property. Individual veins are up to 3.7 kilometres in length with widths that range from decimetres to tens of metres. The most significant vein systems identified to date are the Animas - Refugio and Cordon del Oro structures that form the boundaries of a fault graben. Other significant vein systems include Napoleon, Cinco Señores, and La Colorada. Silver and gold mineralization is hosted in quartz veins and hydrothermal quartz breccias with grey silica as a significant component. The grey colour is due to finely disseminated pyrite and argentite / acanthite but sphalerite and galena are also common. Bladed quartz pseudomorphs after calcite, which is indicative of boiling conditions that are important in the deposition of gold in low sulphidation epithermal systems, have been noted at a number of locations within the mineralized structures.

The Panuco-Copala district is a current and historic producing silver and gold district from a number of small independent producers and Vizsla has consolidated the mineral tenure in the district. Exploration carried out to date by Vizsla and by previous workers have demonstrated the Panuco Project's potential to host economic silver-gold mineralization hosted in low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal vein systems. Vizsla has carried out mapping and sampling to identify potential mineralized shoots along these veins at Animas - Refugio, Cordon del Oro, Napoleon and Cinco Señores. A first phase of diamond drilling has been carried out at three targets on the Animas - Refugio structure and has returned promising results that warrant further drilling. Mapping and sampling to identify additional drill targets on these structures should be continued. Similarly, additional diamond drilling should also be continued to identify and confirm the mineralized shoots, in particular to depth beneath levels of historic mining which generally ceased upon the intersection of workings with the water table.

17.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

Improved higher resolution topographic data and / or satellite imagery for the project at a scale for mapping and diamond drilling control should be acquired. This will improve drill targeting.

Mapping and sampling to date has been effective at generating drill targets. Detailed mapping and sampling should continue to be carried out to complete coverage on the Animas - Refugio, Cordon del Oro, Cinco Señores and Napoleon structural corridors. Particular attention should be paid to the structural framework to aid in identifying potential mineralized shoots.

Reconnaissance scale mapping and sampling should be carried out un under-explored structures on the property.

Diamond drilling should be carried out on targets generated by the mapping program on the Animas - Refugio, Cordon del Oro, Cinco Señores and Napoleon structural corridors. This should include down- dip drilling of mineralization on the Animas - Refugio corridor, including the steeply-plunging San Carlos breccia to determine if mineralization extends beneath the water table where historic mining ceased. Drilling should be carried out from the hanging wall side of veins wherever practical to test for hanging wall splays of veins.

The QA/QC program, including near real-time monitoring of QA/QC data, should be continued. Collection of specific gravity data should be incorporated into drilling data collection.

17.1 Budget

Two phases of work are recommended. The first phase comprises geological mapping and sampling to identify potential mineralized shoots and diamond drilling of targets identified by the mapping and sampling work of the first phase. This comprises a total recommended budget of $650,000 to complete this phase of exploration. As Vizsla is the first company to explore the wide extent of showings in the now- consolidated district, a second phase of work totaling $600,000 is recommended. The Phase 2 program is not contingent upon the results of the Phase 1 work. The Phase 2 budget should comprise additional mapping, geophysical surveying and additional diamond drilling.
