"Being fully-funded, Vizsla intends to provide steady drilling news flow over the summer months."

Vizsla had heralded the Napoleon discovery in June. 

The company has a 14,500m drilling programme underway at Panuco.

It had raised C$4.6 million at 43c per share in June to advance the project and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Vizsla has the option to acquire the newly-consolidated 9,386.5ha Panuco project.

It said the Napoleon vein corridor was located almost entirely on concessions optioned from Rio Panuco, where Vizsla has the right to purchase 100% including the 500 tonne per day El Coco mill, tailings facility, roads, power and permits for US$23 million.
