The safety and security of employees, contractors, and community members remain Vizsla Silver's highest priority. The Company continues to review and strengthen its security protocols in close coordination with local authorities.

Mr. Konnert added, "Mexico has a long and proud mining tradition, and we continue to believe strongly in the long-term potential of the Panuco project. In the face of such a painful and tragic moment, we have seen the strength and resilience of our people and the Concordia community. As we work collaboratively with the community and authorities to ensure a safe and responsible path forward, we will do so with our people, our lost colleagues and their families front of mind."
