Updated: 22 Dec 25
Vizsla Silver Corp's stock rose by 8.19% as it reached a 52-week high, reflecting strong investor interest amid positive market conditions.
The surge is attributed to Vizsla Silver's strategic acquisition of 2,378 hectares of claims from Fresnillo for $2 million in cash and $4 million in shares, significantly enhancing its exploration potential adjacent to the Panuco project. This acquisition is expected to drive resource base growth and improve future mine economics, with the feasibility study indicating strong investment returns.
This acquisition not only solidifies Vizsla Silver's market position but also opens up new high-priority exploration targets, which could lead to increased resource estimates and economic benefits in the long run.
