1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

The Company was incorporated on September 26, 2017, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) under the name Vizsla Capital Corp. On March 8, 2018, the Company changed its name to Vizsla Resources Corp. The Company's principal business activity is the exploration of mineral properties. The Company currently conducts substantially all its operations in Canada and Mexico in one business segment. On February 8, 2021, the Company changed its name to Vizsla Silver Corp. (the "Company", "Vizsla Silver"). It is trading on the venture exchange under the symbol VZLA.

On January 21, 2022, Vizsla Silver Corp was listed on the NYSE American and commenced trading under the symbol "VZLA".

The head office and principal address of the Company is located at 700- 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6E 3V7.

The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and exploration costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable ore reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal of properties.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation.

The Company continues to experience risks associated with global inflation and volatility in foreign exchange rates. The Company continues to monitor each of these risks and will execute timely and appropriate measures as necessary. Further, near-term metal prices, exchange rates, discount rates, and other key assumptions used in the Company's accounting estimates are subject to greater uncertainty given the current economic environment. Changes in these assumptions could significantly impact the Company's accounting estimates.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been omitted or condensed, and therefore these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's April 30, 2023, audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes to such financial statements.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on the IFRS issued and effective as of October 31, 2023. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors on December 7, 2023, and follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements:

a) Basis of Consolidation

The principal subsidiaries of the Company, which are accounted for under the consolidation method, are as follows:

Entity Principal activities Country of
incorporation
and operation
Ownership
interest as
at October
31, 2023
Ownership
interest as at
April 30,
2023
Canam Alpine Ventures Ltd. Holding Co Canada 100% 100%
Minera Canam S.A. DE C.V. Exploring evaluating mineral properties Mexico 100% 100%
Operaciones Canam Alpine
S.A. DE C.V.
Exploring evaluating mineral properties Mexico 100% 100%
Vizsla Royalty Corp. (formerly Vizsla Copper Corp. and 1283303 B.C. Ltd.) Royalty Company Canada 100% 100%
Canam Royalties Mexico, S.A. de C.V. Royalty Company Mexico 100% 100%

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation (continued)

b) Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

The new standards or amendments issued but not yet effective are either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

c) Accounting pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The new standards, or amendments to standards and interpretations that were adopted by the Company, effective January 1, 2023, are as follows:

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1)

The IASB has issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements which require entities to disclose their "material" accounting policy information rather than their "significant" accounting policies. The amendments explain that accounting policy information is material if omitting, misstating; or obscuring that information could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of the financial statements make on, the basis of, those financial statements. The amendments also clarify that accounting policy information may be material because of its nature, even if the related amounts are immaterial.

This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8)

The IASB has issued amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors which introduce a definition of accounting estimates and provide other clarifications to help entities distinguish accounting policies from accounting estimates. Under the amendments, accounting estimates are defined as "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". The amendments also emphasize that a change in an accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not an error correction and that changes in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are considered changes in accounting estimates if those changes in an input or measurement technique are not the result of an error correction.

This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation (continued)

d) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

Preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosure. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Judgment is used mainly in determining how a balance or transaction should be recognized in the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are used mainly in determining the measurement of recognized transactions and balances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim financial statements for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements. The Company's interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents include $8,344,186 (April 30, 2023 - $12,608,704) in the operating bank accounts. Cash and cash equivalents also included $5,000,000 in term deposits that are cashable within one to two months (April 30, 2023: $6,789,000 (US$5,000,000)). The term deposits earn interest at 5.60% (April 30, 2023: 5.30%).

Short-term investments include $20,115,000 (April 30, 2023 - $40,115,000) of term deposits with maturities of more than 90 days ranging from six months to eight months earning interest at 5.24% (April 30, 2023 – 5.18% to 5.24%).

At October 31, 2023, the Company had 1,110,014 Mexican pesos (April 30, 2023 - 6,877,311 pesos) and $1,384,486 US dollars (April 30, 2023- $7,797,176 US dollars).

6. Strategic Investment in Prismo Metals Inc. and Intangible Asset

On December 16, 2022, the Company entered a strategic investment with Prismo Metals Inc. ("Prismo"). Prismo is trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "PRIZ". The Company finalized its strategic investment in Prismo on January 6, 2023 ("Closing Date").

Pursuant to the strategic investment, the Company acquired (i) a right of first refusal ("ROFR") to purchase the Palos Verdes project from Prismo, which will remain valid until January 6, 2027, four years from the Closing Date, and (ii) 4,000,000 units of Prismo ("Prismo Units").

ROFR in this context refer to the obligation of Prismo to notify the Company of any written offers received from third parties to purchase any portion of the Palos Verdes Properties (referred to as the "Offered Interest"). The Company reserves the right to purchase the Offered Interest at the same price and under the same conditions within a 45-day window. If the Company declines or fails to respond, Prismo is permitted to sell to the third party after laps of 90 days, and the Company's rights expire after four years, unless its percentage of ownership is below 8%. The Company's ROFR persists through any changes of control of Prismo.

The Company acquired 4,000,000 Prismo Units, each Prismo Unit consists of one common share of Prismo (a "Prismo Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a "Prismo Warrant"). Each Prismo Warrant entitles the Company to purchase one additional Prismo Share for a period of two years from the closing date at a price of $0.75. The Prismo shares are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day, and a voluntary escrow period of 24 months with 25% of the securities released every six months. The Prismo Units were fair valued at $1,413,225.

The valuation of Prismo shares follows a level 2 fair value measurement. The share price is derived from the market price on the Closing Date of $0.48, with consideration for the lack of marketability. The DLOM rate used is provided below.

The consideration for the strategic investment consisted of a cash payment of $500,000 (paid) and 1,000,000 common shares of the Company. The consideration shares are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day, and a voluntary escrow period of 24 months with 25% of the securities released every six months. The shares were fair valued at $1,357,155.

The fair value of Vizsla shares is determined using a level 2 fair value measurement. The share price is based on the market price on the Closing Date of $1.62, after factoring in the lack of marketability. The applicable DLOM rate is provided below.

6. Strategic Investment in Prismo Metals Inc. and Intangible Asset (continued)

An intangible asset with a fair value of $443,930 was recognized for the difference between the fair value of the Prismo Units and Vizsla shares, as well as the cash paid as consideration. Due to the lack of evidence of future economic benefits, the Company wrote off the intangible asset as impairment loss in the year ended April 30, 2023. The continuity of the intangible asset is below:

In connection with the strategic investment, Prismo and the Company have agreed to form a technical committee to pursue district-scale exploration of the Panuco silver-gold district.

Immediately prior to the closing of the strategic investment, the Company did not beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, any Prismo Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable for Prismo Shares. Immediately following the closing of the strategic investment, the Company owns 4,000,000 Prismo Shares and 2,000,000 Prismo Warrants, representing 10.08% of the issued and outstanding Prismo Shares on a non-diluted basis and 14.4% of the Prismo Shares on a partially diluted basis. As of October 31, 2023, 1 million Prismo shares has been released from the voluntary hold.

As the Company has no common management or directors, it does not have significant influence. As such, the Prismo Units have been recognised as investment and measured at fair value through profit or loss. The change in the fair value during the period ended October 31, 2023, was $633,529 (year ended April 30, 2023: $116,127) and recorded in other loss.

7. Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Canam Alpine Ventures Ltd. - Panuco-Copala Property

On November 5, 2019, pursuant to a definitive share exchange agreement (the "Agreement") dated September 13, 2019, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Canam Alpine Ventures Ltd.("Canam"), a private British Columbia company. Canam owns two subsidiaries in Mexico, Minera Canam S.A. DE C.V. and Operaciones Canam Alpine S.A. DE C.V. According to the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the consideration of $45,000 cash and issue 6,000,000 common shares (issued) and 12,000,000 Milestone Shares on the occurrence of milestone events as follows:

- Milestone event 1:  Upon exercise of any defined options by Canam, the Company will issue 6,500,000 common shares (issued);

- Milestone event 2:   Upon definition of a resource greater than 200,000 gold equivalent ounces, the Company will issue 5,500,000 common shares (issued).

In addition, the Company issued 250,000 common shares at the closing of the transaction and agreed to issue an additional 250,000 common shares on each occurrence of Milestone event 1 and 2 for a total of 750,000 common shares as finders' fees. The Company recorded $296,250 and $12,344 as contingent consideration in relation to the two milestone events and related finder's fees, respectively, which represented its fair value at the date of acquisition and was classified as shares to be issued, representing the fair value at the date of acquisition of the fixed number of shares that are required to be issued based on the milestones. The contingent consideration will not be remeasured, and settlement is accounted for in equity. As of April 30, 2022, the milestones have occurred, and the shares have been issued. As a result, the full $308,595 of contingent consideration has been reversed.

On August 8, 2019, Canam entered into an option agreement with Minera Rio Panuco S.A. de C.V. ("Panuco") whereby the Company can earn a 100% interest in certain concessions and assets by spending USD$2,000,000 in exploration by the second anniversary date of the agreement and paying a cumulative of USD$23,000,000. The option agreement was amended on May 6, 2020, to extend the schedule of Canam's payment and investment obligations for an additional one year and the Company paid USD$80,000 for the extension.

On September 9, 2019, Canam entered into an option agreement with Silverstone Resources S.A. de C.V. ("Copala") whereby the Company can earn a 100% interest in certain concessions and assets by spending USD$1,423,000 in exploration by the second anniversary date of the agreement and paying a cumulative of USD$20,000,000. Certain claims of Copala are subject to a 3.0% net smelter royalty ("NSR") which can be brought down to 1.5% for 10% interest or property right on the mining concessions.

On July 21, 2021, the Company signed a binding amending agreement (the "Panuco Amending Agreement") with Panuco and has executed a binding option exercise notice ("Copala Exercise Notice") with Copala, which together will constitute the acceleration and exercise of the Company's option to acquire 100% of the Panuco-Copala silver gold district ("Panuco District" or the "Project").

9. Share Capital (continued)

f) Restricted Shares Units

On February 10, 2023, pursuant to the Company's Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, the Company granted 1,133,572 restricted share units (each, an "RSU") to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. The RSUs will vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date. The Company can settle each vested RSUs with cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares at the Company's discretion.

The fair value of each RSU is $1.60 which is the value of a Vizsla common share on issuance day (February 10, 2023). The total share-based compensation of the RSUs is valued at $1,813,715, which will be realized as the RSUs vest.

For the six-month ended October 31, 2023, the Company has recognized a share-based compensation of $563,576 (October 31, 2022: $nil) for the RSUs.

10. Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company applied the following fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value into three levels:

The three levels are defined as follows:

  • Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  • Level 2 - inputs to valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  • Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company's financial instruments are cash and cash equivalent, short-term investments, investment, other receivables, due to related party, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. All these financial instruments are carried on the consolidated interim statements of financial position at amortized cost except investments, which are carried at fair value through profit or loss using a level 2 fair value measurement (Note 6). The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.

10. Financial Instruments (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they become due.  The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at October 31, 2023, the Company had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $8,344,186 and short-term investments of $20,115,000 to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3,460,741. All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Historically, the Company's sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company's access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company's earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. The Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An immaterial amount of interest rate exposure exists in respect of cash balances on the statement of financial position. As a result, the Company is not exposed to material cash flow interest rate risk on its cash balances.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar, United States dollar, and Mexican Peso will affect the Company's operations and financial results. The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that it has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company measures the effect on total assets or total receipts of reasonably foreseen changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The analysis is used to determine if these risks are material to the financial position of the Company. A 1% change in foreign exchange rate of CAD to MXN would increase/decrease the net and comprehensive loss for the six months ended October 31, 2023, by approximately $192,000 (six months ended October 31, 2022: $550,000). Actual financial results for the coming year will vary since the balances of financial assets are expected to decline as funds are used for Company expenses.

Price risk

This risk relates to fluctuations in commodity and equity prices. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of precious and base metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. Fluctuations in pricing may be significant.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the reporting date. Cash and cash equivalent are held with reputable banks in Canada. The long-term credit rating of these banks, as determined by Standard and Poor's, was A+. As at October 31, 2023, the cash on deposit at these institutions was in excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes credit risk is low given the good credit ratings of the banks.

11. Capital Management

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

The Panuco-Copala property in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage, as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders' equity, comprising issued capital and deficit. The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed requirements. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

12. Segment Information

The Company has one operating segment, being principally mineral exploration.

The Company's non-current assets, excluding non-current deposits, by location of assets are as follows:
