VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 8, 2021 /CNW/ - Vizsla Resources
Corp. (TSXV: VZLA) (OTCQB: VIZSF) (Frankfurt: 0G3) ("Vizsla" or the
"Company) announces that in preparation for the proposed
spin out of "Vizsla Copper Corp.", the Company will change its name
from "Vizsla Resources Corp." to "Vizsla Silver Corp." The name
change is expected to be effective on Tuesday, February 9, 2021.
Michael Konnert, President and
CEO, stated, "In conjunction with our proposed spin out of
copper assets into Vizsla Copper Corp., the name change to Vizsla
Silver Corp. better reflects the nature of Vizsla's focus, its
flagship asset, the Copala-Panuco
district in Mexico. The Company is
rapidly exploring and advancing the large district and is drilling
high grades of silver and gold. The Copala-Panuco
district has a long history of silver production dating back to the
1500s and only recently has been consolidated and systematically
explored by Vizsla. Currently, the Company is exploring with
multiple drill rigs across three major vein corridors; the
Napoleon, Cordon del Oro, and
Tajitos veins. Significant
infrastructure at the Copala-Panuco
project includes a 500 tpd mill, two highways running through the
project and high-tension power at site."
The Company will not change its ticker and there will be no
change to its share capital.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services
Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of
this release.

release, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect",

Forward–looking statements and forward–looking information
relating to any future mineral production, liquidity, enhanced
value and capital markets profile of Vizsla, future growth
potential for Vizsla and its business, and future exploration plans
are based on management's reasonable assumptions, estimates,
expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on
management's experience and perception of trends, current
conditions and expected developments, and other factors that
management believes are relevant and reasonable in the
circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions
have been made regarding, among other things, the price of silver,
gold and other metals; no escalation in the severity of the
COVID-19 pandemic; costs of exploration and development; the
estimated costs of development of exploration projects; Vizsla's
ability to operate in a safe and effective manner and its ability
to obtain financing on reasonable terms.
These statements reflect Vizsla's respective current views with
respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of
other assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable
by management, are inherently subject to significant business,
economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and
contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause
actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from the results, performance or achievements that are or
may be expressed or implied by such forward–looking statements or
forward-looking information and Vizsla has made assumptions and
estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such
factors include, without limitation: the Company's dependence on
one mineral project; precious metals price volatility; risks
associated with the conduct of the Company's mining activities in
Mexico; regulatory, consent or
permitting delays; risks relating to reliance on the Company's
management team and outside contractors; risks regarding mineral
resources and reserves; the Company's inability to obtain insurance
to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all;
currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project
financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all
mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and
resources, metallurgical recoveries and capital and operating costs
of such projects; contests over title to properties, particularly
title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the
environment, health and safety; the ability of the communities in
which the Company operates to manage and cope with the implications
of COVID-19; the economic and financial implications of COVID-19 to
the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with
mining or development activities; employee relations, labour unrest
or unavailability; the Company's interactions with surrounding
communities and artisanal miners; the Company's ability to
successfully integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of
exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing
quantities or grades of reserves; stock market volatility;
conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of
liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the
factors identified under the caption "Risk Factors" in Vizsla's
management discussion and analysis. Readers are cautioned against
attributing undue certainty to forward–looking statements or
forward-looking information. Although Vizsla has attempted to
identify important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results
not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. Vizsla does not
intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these
forward–looking statements or forward-looking information to
reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any
other events affecting such statements or information, other than
