-- Vizsla Copper (VCU.V) was down near 3% early Thursday even as it received an exploration permit for the Copperview project in British Columbia.
Among highlights, Vizsla said the five-year multi-year area based permit allows the company to drill at multiple sites and conduct limited construction and modification of exploration access trails.
Vizsla said planning is underway for a drill program later in the year, focusing on evaluating the porphyry-related copper potential of the previously undrilled M5 target, which the company has refined through systematic exploration programs over the last two years.
"We look forward to announcing more detailed drilling plans in due course, which we anticipate commencing this fall," Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Craig Parry said.
