Vizsla Silver Appoints Former Senior Mexican Government Mining Official As Vice President, Government Relations

Vancouver, British Columbia, 14.05.2026 (PresseBox) - Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) (Frankfurt: 0G3) (“Vizsla Silver” or the “Company”) (- https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/vizsla-silver-is-pushing-ahead-with-the-development-of-the-panuco-silver-project/ -) is pleased to announce the appointment of Angel Diego Gómez Olmos as Vice President of Government Relations for Vizsla Silver, effective immediately. Based in Mexico City, Mr. Gómez Olmos will lead the Company’s in-country government and regulatory affairs, with a primary focus on advancing the permitting process for the flagship Panuco silver-gold project and its surrounding claims in western Mexico.

As Panuco progresses toward production, establishing a dedicated, senior-level government relations function will enhance the Company’s engagement with the federal regulatory agencies that govern Mexico’s mining sector, including the Secretaría de Economía and its Dirección General de Minas, and the Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT). Mr. Gómez Olmos brings firsthand leadership experience across each of these agencies and will work to facilitate the approvals and consultations required to continue to advance the project on schedule.

“Diego’s expertise, relationships and background make him one of the most qualified people in Mexico for this role,” commented Michael Konnert, CEO. “He has spent years running the very agencies we are working with and the relationships he has built across Mexico’s federal ministries, along with his deep, practical knowledge of how these processes work from the inside, are exactly what Vizsla Silver needs as we advance Panuco through the permitting stage toward production. With Diego leading our government relations in Mexico, we are in the best position possible to remain firmly on track to deliver the next world-class silver primary project.”

Angel Diego Gómez Olmos is a Mexican lawyer with over a decade of senior leadership experience in mining law, regulatory affairs, and public administration within Mexico’s federal government. He is licensed to practice law in both Mexico and Spain and brings a rare combination of legal expertise, mining regulatory knowledge, and direct operational leadership across the principal agencies that govern Mexico’s mining sector.

Most recently, Mr. Gómez Olmos served as General Director of FIFOMI, Mexico’s sole government institution dedicated to providing financing and assistance to the mining sector. Prior to FIFOMI, Mr. Gómez Olmos served as Acting General Director of Mines and Director of Operations and Tracking of the Mining Sector at the Secretaría de Economia, the senior federal authority responsible for the administration and enforcement of Mexico’s Mining Law. He also practiced law at Accenture and Cuatrecasas in Spain, one of Europe’s leading law firms. Mr. Gómez Olmos holds a Law Degree from La Salle University in Mexico City and a second Law Degree from Carlos III University of Madrid. He holds a Master’s degree in Legal Practice and Business Advice from the Higher Institute of Law and Economics in Madrid and is completing a Doctorate in Law at the University of the Balearic Islands. He has served as a Professor of Commercial Contracts and Private International Law at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education and is a published author in the fields of mining law, corporate law, and administrative-regulatory matters.
