Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) appointed Angel Diego Gómez Olmos as Vice President of Government Relations, effective immediately, according to a company statement. Based in Mexico City, Gómez Olmos will lead government and regulatory affairs for the company's Panuco silver-gold project in western Mexico.

Gómez Olmos served as General Director of FIFOMI, Mexico's government institution for mining sector financing and assistance. He previously held positions as Acting General Director of Mines and Director of Operations and Tracking of the Mining Sector at the Secretaría de Economia, which administers Mexico's Mining Law.

The appointee holds law degrees from La Salle University in Mexico City and Carlos III University of Madrid, and is licensed to practice law in both Mexico and Spain. He also worked at law firms Accenture and Cuatrecasas in Spain.

"Diego's expertise, relationships and background make him one of the most qualified people in Mexico for this role," said 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."

Vizsla Silver's Panuco project is located in Sinaloa, Mexico. The company's November 2025 Feasibility Study outlined 17.4 million ounces of silver equivalent annual production over an initial 9.4-year mine life, with an after-tax net present value of $1.8 billion and a 111% internal rate of return.

The appointment comes as the company advances permitting processes with Mexican federal regulatory agencies including the Secretaría de Economía and the Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales.
