Vizsla Silver concluded a preliminary economic study for its Panuco project in July 2024, demonstrating significant potential with an estimated annual production of 15.2 million ounces (moz) of silver equivalent over an initial mine life of 10.6 years.
The study forecasts a post-tax net present value (NPV) at a 5% discount rate of $1.1bn, an internal rate of return (IRR) of 86%, and a rapid payback period of nine months, based on silver and gold prices of $26/oz and $1,975/oz, respectively.
The company is pursuing a dual-track development strategy at Panuco, focusing on advancing mine development while simultaneously and cost-effectively conducting district-scale exploration to become the preeminent silver producer globally.
In April 2024, Vizsla Silver announced the acquisition of two significant claims, located south of the Panuco project, expanding its exploration potential in the Panuco–San Dimas corridor.
