# VIZSLA COPPER COMMENCES DRILLING AT THE WOODJAM PROJECT AND PROVIDES UPDATE ON DRILLING AT THE POPLAR PROJECT Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/vizsla-copper-commences-drilling-at-the-woodjam-project-and-provides-update-on-d--45192eae-c150-4253-b0df-66ea05e73086 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/VCU/news/6011454681755604/vizsla-copper-commences-drilling-at-the-woodjam-project-and-provides-update-on-d Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-05-19T12:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Vizsla Copper Corp. - Ticker: VCU - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Molybdenum, Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-19 03:12:44 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Vizsla Copper has commenced an 8,000-meter drill program at the Woodjam Project in British Columbia, targeting the Three Firs, Great Plains, and Deerhorn areas. Additionally, the company completed Phase 1 drilling at the Poplar Project, with assays pending for the Thira discovery. Reasoning: The company is advancing multiple projects simultaneously, with a new major drill program underway at Woodjam and completed drilling at Poplar, providing a catalyst-rich outlook. - Positive factor: Commencement of a significant 8,000m drill program at Woodjam - Positive factor: Completion of Phase 1 drilling at Poplar project - Positive factor: Historical resource continuity mentioned at Southeast and Deerhorn targets - Negative factor: Historical resource estimates are noted as being non-compliant with current standards Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling at Three Firs is targeting a new occurrence of breccia 500m northwest of previous holes. Evidence · text > Step-out drilling in 2024 investigated the extent of mineralization 500 meters to the northwest **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The document references historical inferred mineral resources for the Southeast and Deerhorn deposits. Evidence · text > Southeast has a historical inferred mineral resource estimate of 221.7 million tonnes **Historical Estimate Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling. Why it applies: The Southeast and Deerhorn resource estimates are explicitly labeled as historical and non-compliant with current standards. Evidence · text > The Historical Estimates are considered historical in nature and as such are based on prior data and reports prepared by previous property owners. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.
