Fair value Decreased 45%Valuation Update (Latest)
This is a simplified silver-torque valuation model. It is designed to show upside sensitivity, not a guaranteed target price. The model uses the Feasibility Study after-tax NPV as the base value, then adds silver-price upside using published payable silver production. It does not adjust for taxes, royalties, cost inflation, working capital, financing cost, debt, dilution, construction delays, hedging, security disruptions, metallurgical changes, mine-plan changes, or future capital requirements.
Panuco Silver Torque Model
Valuation feel: this valuation is aggressive and simplified. It is designed to show silver-price torque, not a guaranteed target price. Higher silver prices would likely bring higher taxes, royalties, cost inflation, stronger competition for labour and equipment, higher sustaining capital, financing changes, and potentially different market multiples.
Vizsla Silver Corp. TSX: VZLA / NYSE: VZLA / Frankfurt: 0G3
Introduction
Vizsla Silver Corp. is a Canadian silver-gold development company focused on advancing its flagship 100 percent owned Panuco silver-gold project in Sinaloa, Mexico. This is no longer a simple exploration story: Vizsla has consolidated a historic silver district, delivered a large high-grade resource, completed a Feasibility Study, secured project financing, advanced a test mine, and is moving toward construction and first production targeted for the second half of 2027.
The bull case is simple, Vizsla controls one of the highest-grade, most advanced silver development projects in the world. Panuco has scale, grade, existing infrastructure, strong silver-gold margins, low projected AISC, very strong Feasibility Study economics, and major district-scale exploration upside.
The November 2025 Feasibility Study shows average annual production of 17.4 million silver equivalent ounces over an initial 9.4-year mine life, after-tax NPV5% of US$1.8B, after-tax IRR of 111%, AISC of US$10.61/oz AgEq, and a 7-month payback using US$35.50 silver and US$3,100 gold.
The strongest upside comes from five things, world-class grade, near-term production timeline, strong Feasibility Study economics, funded development pathway, and major exploration potential across a district where less than 10 percent of known vein strike has been represented in the updated resource estimate. The main risk is that Vizsla is a single-asset company in Sinaloa, Mexico, and the 2026 Panuco security incident makes jurisdiction and site-security risk one of the most important issues to monitor.
Projects / Location / MRE / Grades
Project 1: Panuco Silver-Gold Project, Sinaloa, Mexico – Flagship Development Asset
Panuco is Vizsla Silver’s flagship project and the core of the investment case. The project is located in Sinaloa, Mexico and is 100 percent owned by Vizsla. The Feasibility Study includes two main underground mine areas, Copala and Napoleon, using ramp-access underground mining, long-hole stoping, drift-and-fill methods, and on-site processing through crushing, grinding, leaching, and Merrill-Crowe recovery to produce silver-gold doré.
Panuco is not a remote greenfield project starting from zero. The Feasibility Study highlights existing infrastructure in the district, including all-weather access roads, high-voltage power, water availability, and skilled labour. Vizsla completed the Feasibility Study in November 2025, secured a US$300M project financing facility, and awarded EPCM and mine-design contracts in April 2026.
Grade feel: Panuco is very high grade by modern silver project standards. The 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate shows combined measured and indicated resources of 222.4Moz AgEq grading 534 g/t AgEq, plus inferred resources of 138.7Moz AgEq grading 412 g/t AgEq. The Feasibility Study reserve is also strong at 12.81Mt grading 249 g/t Ag and 2.01 g/t Au, or 416 g/t AgEq.
Panuco Feasibility Study – Economics
The November 2025 Feasibility Study is the current valuation anchor. It uses higher-confidence resources, excludes inferred resources from the mine plan, and converts Panuco into a reserve-backed development case.
Project 2: District-Scale Exploration Upside
Panuco is a large epithermal vein district, not just one deposit. The updated resource included 11 epithermal veins, but Vizsla stated that the resource represents less than 10 percent of known vein strike in the newly consolidated district. This gives Vizsla discovery-style optionality even while the project moves toward production.
Project 3: Morgan Test Mine / Development Pathway
Vizsla has advanced a test mine at Panuco. In its 2025 year-end summary, the company said the test mine advanced more than 700 metres down the decline and had established two of three planned underground drill bays. This helps de-risk the project before full-scale production by providing underground access, drill platforms, geotechnical information, bulk sample data, and practical mining information.
This is an advantage versus silver developers that remain stuck at desk-study stage. The risk is that underground development must continue safely, legally, and on schedule, especially after the 2026 security incident.
Share Structure / Ownership / Insiders
Capital Structure
Share structure feel: fully diluted shares of roughly 367M is acceptable for a silver developer that has consolidated a district, drilled aggressively, completed a Feasibility Study, advanced a test mine, and secured major financing. Future dilution risk still exists, but Vizsla is in a stronger funding position than many developers.
Ownership feel: public ownership data varies by source. The source report notes individual insiders around 5.6%, institutions around 51.1%, and Eric Sprott personally around 2.73%. Our data show insider aligned around 25%, institutional sponsorship and access to capital are strong.
People / Management
Overall management view: Vizsla has one of the stronger teams among silver developers, with capital markets strength, exploration depth, Mexico experience, engineering capability, and board-level mining credibility. The remaining test is execution: developer to producer while managing construction, cost control, underground mining, permitting and security risk.

Summary & Quick Scorecard
RT Rating, Commentary
Vizsla Silver is not on our watchlist.
We rated this as 4 out of 5 stars.
Vizsla Silver ticks many checklist boxes: high-grade silver project, large resource, completed Feasibility Study, strong economics, low projected AISC, near-term production target, serious exploration upside, and a capable management team. Panuco is one of the most advanced and most exciting silver development projects in the market today.
The project has the kind of numbers silver investors dream about: 17.4Moz AgEq per year, US$10.61/oz AISC, US$1.8B after-tax NPV, 111% IRR, and only a 7-month payback at Feasibility Study prices. That is rare.
The only reason this is not an easy 5-star rating is risk. The security situation in Sinaloa is serious. Workers got abducted and killed, that not a small issue. Sinaloa really a strong hold of cartel territory. Then, the company still needs to execute construction, receive key permits, manage underground mining risk, control costs, and bring the mine into production safely. If Vizsla solves those issues and Panuco reaches production, this could become one of the most important new silver mines globally.
