en.Wedoany.com Reported - Vizsla Copper has launched its 2026 drilling program at the Palmer Project in southeastern Alaska, USA. This fully funded exploration campaign is part of the first phase of a multi-year strategy aimed at expanding the project's critical mineral resource base, evaluating new discovery opportunities, and enhancing technical understanding of the broader Palmer region.

Two drill rigs are currently operating on site, with approximately 10,000 meters planned for the 2026 field season. Initial drilling is focused on the South Wall Zone of the Palmer deposit, where previous drilling encountered a high-grade copper-rich core within Zone 1, including some of the highest copper grades ever encountered at the project.

Craig Parry, Executive Chairman and CEO of the company, stated that drilling has commenced and the team is committed to building on the recent exploration success at Palmer. The 2026 plan aims to expand high-grade mineralization at the South Wall Deposit while evaluating multiple priority targets across the region. As geological understanding continues to improve, Palmer is demonstrating its scale, exploration potential, and critical mineral endowment, making it one of the premier exploration opportunities in southeastern Alaska.

Peter Mercer, Senior Vice President of Alaska, added that the 2026 program reflects a balance between resource expansion and discovery, while advancing the project's environmental and technical understanding. Currently, drills are focused on areas where previous drilling encountered some of the highest copper grades, while mountain teams are preparing additional drill sites to evaluate the mineral potential between the Palmer deposit and the AG deposit. As the field season progresses, the focus remains on safe operations, rigorous execution, and generating the technical information needed to better understand the overall potential of the region.
