Vizsla Copper Corp. has announced that it has received a formal Letter of Support from the Governor of Alaska recognising the strategic importance of the Palmer Project in Southeast Alaska and reaffirming the State’s commitment to responsible mineral development and domestic critical mineral supply.

Highlights

  • Letter of Support from the Governor of Alaska recognising the Palmer Project as a strategically important advanced exploration asset aligned with state and national critical mineral objectives.
  • 2026 critical mineral exploration planning underway, targeting up to 10 000 m of diamond drilling to expand known high-grade copper, zinc, silver and gold mineralisation and test high-priority targets across the Palmer land package.
  • Comprehensive compilation and reinterpretation of historical and recent datasets, integrating lithology, structure, geochemistry, and geophysics using modern 3D modelling tools.
  • Technical work advancing toward inclusion of barite in future mineral resource estimates, reflecting its growing strategic and industrial importance.
  • Expanded evaluation of additional critical minerals, including cobalt, germanium, and gallium, across more than 15 known mineralised showings, with only three currently included in the existing mineral resource estimate.

Mike Dunleavy, Governor of Alaska, commented: “You have my full support in continuing the exploration and development of the Palmer Project through this new relationship, which stands to strengthen Alaska’s role in meeting national critical mineral objectives while bringing lasting economic benefits to Southeast communities.”

Craig Parry, Chairman and CEO of Vizsla Copper, added: “Receiving formal support from the Governor of Alaska is a strong endorsement of the Palmer Project and its importance to both the State and US critical mineral supply chains. While our approach to Palmer in 2026 remains disciplined and technically driven, the scale of opportunity is significant. Through aggressive exploration and development efforts, we are positioning Palmer for meaningful growth while maintaining a responsible and methodical development path."
