[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 8, 2021 /CNW/ - Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSXV: VZLA) (OTCQB: VIZSF) (Frankfurt: 0G3) (\"Vizsla\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide additional results from twenty one new drill holes targeting the Napoleon Vein resource area (\"Napoleon\") at its flagship Panuco silver-gold project (\"Panuco\" or the \"Project\") located in Mexico. Highlights Drilling has now defined a higher-grade precious metals rich footprint at Napoleon measuring approximately 1,000 metres long by an average 400 metres deep with an average true width of 3.86 metres. Based on 106 holes completed to date, the higher-grade footprint hosts an uncut, undiluted weighted average grade of 453 g/t AgEq (148 g/t silver, 2.90 g/t gold, 0.46% lead and 1.44% zinc) The greater Napoleon Vein resource area, including the higher-grade footprint, now measures approximately 1,820 metres long by approximatly 300 metres average depth with an average true width of 3.36 metres. Based on a total of 159 holes, the greater Napoleon resource area has an uncut, undiluted weighted average grade of 421 g/t AgEq (142 g/t silver, 2.62 g/t gold, 0.46% lead and 1.39% zinc) Note: All numbers are rounded. Silver equivalent is calculated using the following formula: Silver-equivalent = ((Au_g/t x 52.48) + (Ag_g/t x 0.5289) + (Pb_ppm x 0.0013) + (Zn_ppm x 0.0013)) / 0.5627. Metal price assumptions are $17.50 oz silver, $1,700 oz gold, $0.75 pound lead and $0.85 pound zinc, recoveries assumptions are 96% gold, 94% silver, 78% lead and 70% zinc based on similar deposit types. Vizsla President and CEO Michael Konnert commented: \"As we rapidly approach the deadline for drilling to be incorporated into the maiden Panuco resource estimate, anticipated in Q1 2022, new results from the Napoleon Vein continue to demonstrate the exceptional size and grade of the underlying system. Large step-outs have now expanded the zone's greater mineralized footprint to over 1,800 metres along strike with a notable higher-grade precious metals rich subzone developing over 1,000 metres to the south and below the discovery hole. This near-surface high-grade subzone hosts multiple intercepts over 1,000 g/t AgEq and reamains open to the south and at depth \" Napoleon Drilling Detail Napoleon drilling continues to highlight one long continuous panel of mineralizatio...
