Lázaro joins the company after serving as CEO of Citrofrut, where he spearheaded a major operational overhaul and portfolio expansion. His career spans leadership roles at Grupo PINSA and CEMEX, providing him with a deep understanding of Mexico’s industrial landscape. At Vizsla Silver, he will report directly to CEO Michael Konnert, focusing on stakeholder relations, permitting, and the development of the flagship Panuco project in Sinaloa.

Simultaneous with this appointment, the company is restructuring its geological leadership. Guillermo Hernandez, the recently named Vice President of Exploration, will assume expanded oversight of all geological functions following the departure of Chief Geologist Jesus Velador on August 27, 2026. These management shifts occur as the company moves beyond the November 2025 feasibility study, which projected an annual production of 17.4 million silver-equivalent ounces over a nine-year mine life.
