Company Strategy
Prismo Metals Inc. (CSE: PRIZ | OTCQB: PMOMF | FSE: 7KU) is a growth-oriented exploration company focused on precious and base metal projects in North America. The company is led by an experienced team of geologists, engineers, and capital market experts who have a long track record in the discovery, development, and financing of mining projects.
Prismo pursues a clear strategy: to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality exploration projects in geopolitically stable regions, particularly Mexico and the USA. The goal is to sustainably increase company value and define potentially economic deposits through targeted exploration and partnerships.
The current portfolio includes the Palos Verdes silver-gold project in Mexico, the Hot Breccia, Silver King, and Ripsey copper projects in Arizona, USA. Each project exhibits promising geology, historical production records, or geophysical anomalies indicating significant resource potential.
Market Environment
Precious and Base Metals in a Structural Uptrend
Prismo Metals operates in a market environment characterized by growing demand for metals. Copper, silver, and gold play a central role in the energy transition: copper as a key metal for electrification and infrastructure, silver for photovoltaics and industrial applications, and gold as a strategic store of value.
Prismo’s projects are located in regions with excellent mining infrastructure, legal stability, and access to energy and transportation networks – a crucial locational advantage for future exploration and potential development.
The Arizona Copper Belt – a World-Class Region
The Arizona Copper Belt is one of the most significant copper mining regions worldwide. Approximately 70% of US copper production comes from Arizona. In the immediate vicinity of Prismo’s projects are some of the world’s largest copper mines, including the Resolution Copper Project (Rio Tinto/BHP) and the historic Christmas Mine (Freeport-McMoRan).
This proximity not only underscores the geological potential but also the logistical and infrastructural advantages of the region.
Project Portfolio
Hot Breccia – Copper Exploration in the Heart of Arizona
The Hot Breccia Project comprises 1,420 hectares with 227 unpatented mining claims in the central Arizona Copper Belt, approximately 5 km southeast of the Christmas Mine and 2 km from the Hayden Smelter Complex. The excellent infrastructure with roads, power, and water access provides ideal conditions for cost-efficient exploration.

Geologically, the project is located in the Banner Mining District and exhibits classic characteristics of a porphyry copper system. Previous drilling by Kennecott and Phelps Dodge (1970s–1980s) documented significant zones of hydrothermal alteration with copper grades exceeding 1%.
A modern ZTEM airborne survey (2023) identified a large-scale conductive anomaly, interpreted as a potential porphyry-skarn center – similar to the nearby Resolution deposit. A complementary AI-powered analysis confirmed the target region and defined a potential mineralization body of 1,100 × 1,150 meters.
A 5,000-meter drilling program with a budget of 3 million CAD is planned for 2025, which will see drilling activities on the project for the first time in over 50 years.
Silver King – Historic High-Grade Mine in the Heart of the Copper Belt
The Silver King Project is located near Superior, Arizona, just 3 km from the main shaft of the Resolution Copper Project. The 125-hectare property is entirely within Resolution’s concession area – a geologically and strategically exceptional location.
Historically, between 1875 and 1928, the mine produced approximately 6 million ounces of silver at extremely high grades of 21–61 oz/t Ag, as well as significant copper, lead, and zinc content. Later sampling showed up to 18,250 g/t silver and 15 g/t gold.
The geology is dominated by a steeply west-dipping, stockwork-style breccia body hosted within quartz diorite intrusive rock. Recent analyses also indicate the presence of freibergite silver-copper-antimony sulfide, suggesting potential for the strategically important antimony.
Prismo plans a two-phase exploration program totaling 2,000 meters of drilling, along with dewatering, sampling, and geological mapping. New samples from 2025 confirmed over-limit grades up to 757 g/t Ag, 1.5% Cu, and 11.5% Zn.

Ripsey – Rediscovery of a Historic Gold-Silver-Copper Mine
Just 22 km west of Hot Breccia is the Ripsey Mine, a 30-hectare area with four patented claims. The project covers a 400 m long, south-dipping vein which historically yielded high-grade precious and base metals.
Historic samples yielded up to 15.9 g/t gold, 275 g/t silver, 3% copper, and 9% zinc. Modern exploration has not yet occurred – a clear advantage for future discoveries.
A two-phase exploration program is planned, including detailed mapping and sampling, followed by drilling to determine the depth extension of the mineralized zone.

Palos Verdes – High-Grade Silver-Gold Project in the Pánuco District, Mexico
The Palos Verdes Project comprises 22.8 hectares in the municipality of Concordia, Sinaloa State, approximately 65 km northeast of Mazatlán. It is located in the historic Pánuco-Copala District, known for its epithermal precious metal veins.
The main structure, the Palos Verdes Vein, strikes northeast for 650–750 m and reaches widths of up to 10 m. Previous and current drilling has repeatedly intersected high-grade silver-gold intervals.
Key results include:
- 3,100 g/t Ag, 102 g/t Au (11,520 g/t Ag equivalent) over 0.5 m (drill hole PV-23-25)
- 2,336 g/t Ag, 8.42 g/t Au, 2.46% Zn over 1.15 m (drill hole PV-02)
Since 2023, a strategic partnership with Vizsla Silver Corp. has been in place, which acquired 4 million units of Prismo and received a board seat. Both companies collaborate in a joint technical committee to explore the geological continuity of the mineralized system across concession boundaries.
The current drilling program (2024–2025) targets depth extensions and potential northeastern plunges of the ore shoot. In total, over 6,000 meters of drilling in 33 holes have been completed to date.

Outlook
Prismo Metals is facing an active exploration phase with several parallel programs in Mexico and the USA.
- Hot Breccia: Start of the 5,000 m program after BLM approval; the goal is to define a porphyry copper center.
- Silver King: Expansion of drilling activities by an additional 1,000 m to explore polymetallic veins and replacement zones.
- Ripsey: Preparation for initial systematic drilling after completion of mapping.
- Palos Verdes: Continuation of deep drilling and geological modeling in cooperation with Vizsla Silver.
The combination of high-grade precious metal projects and large-volume copper targets provides Prismo Metals with a balanced risk structure with clear value drivers across different commodity cycles.
