In the world of commodity trading and mining, the personnel announcement at Vizsla Silver Corp. is creating a stir: Simon Cmrlec, an industry veteran with significant engineering expertise, will take the helm as the new Chief Operating Officer of the flagship project Panuco starting from April 2024. Cmrlec, whose career spans over three decades and includes key positions at major companies such as Ausenco, faces the exciting challenge of steering the Panuco silver-gold project towards production and catapulting it into the league of the world's leading silver producers. Michael Konnert, President and CEO of Vizsla Silver, recognizes Cmrlec's long-standing role as a director and his substantial contribution to the company culture. The appointment of Cmrlec as COO underscores not only the ambitions of Vizsla Silver but also the high-caliber expertise that will now shape the developments of the Panuco project. Cmrlec himself highlights the rare privilege of being able to work on such a promising project that is excellently positioned both infrastructurally and geologically.

The update of these resources, underpinned by strong drilling performance of over 350,000 meters, forms the solid foundation from which Vizsla Silver aims to pursue plans for further development and expansion of drilling activities in the district for the year 2024. Cmrlec's professionalism and close connections to key industry players are expected to be of invaluable worth in this crucial phase of the project. Behind the scenes, a team of renowned experts is at work to ensure that all steps in the complex environment of mineral exploration and development meet international standards. With the commitment of Cmrlec and a focused vision for the future, Vizsla Silver's professional path is clear to establish itself as a significant global player in the mining industry.
