VANCOUVER, BC, April 28, 2025 /CNW/ - Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) (Frankfurt: 0G3) (" Vizsla Silver" or the " Company") announced today that it has updated its previously-announced at-the-market equity program (the " ATM Program") to offer and sell up to US$200 million of common shares of the Company (" Common Shares") to the public, from time to time, through the Agents (as defined below).
" Vizsla Silver remains well-positioned to advance Panuco towards development", commented Michael Konnert, President and CEO. " The updated at-the-market equity plan simply provides additional optionality to add to a strong balance sheet, as we continue to de-risk the Panuco Project and deliver on development milestones."
Sales of Common Shares, if any, will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated April 28, 2025 (the " Equity Distribution Agreement") among the Company and Canaccord Genuity and CIBC Capital Markets, as lead agents, and National Bank Financial and BMO Capital Markets (collectively, the " Agents"), on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE American, and/or any other marketplace for the Common Shares in Canada or the United States or as otherwise agreed between the Agents and the Company. The sales of Common Shares under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined in the Company's sole discretion, and at the market price prevailing at the time of each sale.
The offering of Common Shares under the ATM Program is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated April 28, 2025 (the " Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's final short form base shelf prospectus filed in all provinces and territories of Canada dated April 25, 2025 (the " Base Shelf Prospectus"), and pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated April 28, 2025 (the " U.S. Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's U.S. base prospectus (the " U.S. Base Prospectus") included in its registration statement on Form F-10 (the " Registration Statement") (File No. 333-286322) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2025 (collectively, the Prospectus Supplement, Base Shelf Prospectus, U.S. Prospectus Supplement, the U.S. Base Prospectus and Registration Statement, the " Offering Documents").
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program, if any, to fund ongoing work programs to advance the Panuco Project, for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
The ATM Program will be effective until the earlier of the date on which (i) the issuance and sale of all of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the ATM Program have been completed, and (ii) the receipt issued for the Base Shelf Prospectus ceases to be effective, unless earlier terminated prior to such date by the Company or the Agents in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement.
Concurrent with entering into the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company's previously announced at-the-market equity distribution agreement dated September 13, 2024 was terminated.
The Prospectus Supplement, the Base Shelf Prospectus and the Equity Distribution Agreement are available at www.sedarplus.ca and the U.S. Prospectus Supplement, the U.S. Base Prospectus and the Registration Statement are available at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Agents will send copies of the Prospectus Supplement and the Base Shelf Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus Supplement and the U.S. Base Prospectus, as applicable, upon request by contacting: Canaccord Genuity Corp., Suite 2100, 40 Temperance Street, Toronto, Ontario M5H 0B4 or by email at [email protected].

No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved of the contents of this press release. This press release is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Common Shares, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
