” This area is world-class for porphyry techniques and base and valuable metals, and we consider there may be important untapped potential. Our latest area work on the Silver King mine was profitable in figuring out a number of exploration targets other than the historic silver mine deposit together with polymetallic veins, manto replacements and a strongly altered intrusion with stockwork quartz-pyrite veining. Figuring out this porphyry fashion mineralization on the declare block is a really constructive growth ,” stated Dr. Craig Gibson , Chief Exploration Officer.
Determine 1 . Map displaying Silver King challenge and close by mineral deposits.
The Silver King deposit is positioned three kilometers from the Decision Copper deposit and the high-grade Magma mine, a former copper and silver producer, positioned 0.6 to 1.5 kilometers to the southwest Mineralization at Silver King is hosted by the identical rock sequence that hosts these two deposits however is uncovered at floor and isn’t lined by the thick sequence of unmineralized volcanic rocks that covers Decision Copper. From 1911 to 1996 the Magma mine was developed on veins and alternative deposits within the Paleozoic and Precambrian strata and intrusive rocks, producing roughly 27.6 million brief tons of ore averaging about 4.9% copper with vital portions of zinc, gold (689K oz) and silver (34.3M oz) (Briggs, 2015), ultimately resulting in the invention of the close by Decision copper deposit (Fig. 1).
M ineralization just like that on the Magma mine is uncovered in a number of historic mine workings with plentiful oxide copper minerals, primarily malachite, which have been developed alongside a northeast dipping limestone horizon close to the contact with a quartz diorite intrusion and quartzite alongside the identical structural and stratigraphic development of the Magma mine. The biggest prevalence, on the Black Diamond mine within the japanese portion of the declare block, was developed on a big outcrop of plentiful specular hematite and malachite changing a limestone mattress (Fig. 2) .
Moreover, an erosional window in a regional quartz diorite has uncovered a felsic intrusion to the east of the Silver King workings that was recognized in historic data and now confirmed by Prismo geologists. This felsic intrusion, beforehand described as a breccia pipe, is characterised by very robust stockwork quartz-pyrite veining in a quartz-sericite altered host rock. This goal incorporates anomalous metallic values in soil samples analyzed with the XRF. In keeping with historic experiences it has excessive salinity fluid inclusions typical of a porphyry system, offering proof for porphyry mineralization on the Silver King declare package deal.

“A lot of the main target of the exploration program thus far consisted of a property large survey of historic mines and prospects surrounding the Silver King workings, ” stated Gordon Aldcorn, President of Prismo .
” The exploration work has resulted within the identification of a number of mineralized occurrences on the property, together with veins within the neighborhood of the Silver King mine, and alternative and skarn mineralization in limestone models of the sedimentary sequence close to the contact.”
A part of the preliminary exploration program consisted of a reconnaissance survey of the geology and mineral occurrences in addition to a geochemical and alteration mineral survey across the floor expression of the Silver King deposit and a second separate goal to the east.
The geochemical survey used a handheld XRF instrument to measure soil samples, and confirmed discrete anomalies for Cu, Ag, and Sb across the historic glory gap, with the copper geochemistry additionally related to the ENE putting Cu bearing vein talked about beforehand (Fig. 3). Twenty-nine samples have been submitted to the lab, with a further fifteen samples from the Ripsey mine.
This preliminary part of Prismo exploration on the Silver King challenge is already producing a greater understanding of potential with new constructions not absolutely uncovered in historic mining approaches. This work additionally helps qualify our upcoming drill program which is at the moment within the allowing stage and is anticipated to be superior shortly.

As beforehand reported in Primo’s information launch of August 28, 2025, the Firm geologists recognized two beforehand undescribed veins within the space surrounding the historic glory gap developed on the unique publicity of high-grade silver on the Silver King deposit. Visible inspection and evaluation with a handheld XRF present two distinct veins, one with plentiful silver lead and zinc and the opposite with copper and silver values.

Certified Individual
Dr. Craig Gibson, PhD., CPG., a Certified Individual as outlined by NI-43-01 laws and Chief Exploration Officer and a director of the Firm, has reviewed and accepted the technical disclosures on this information launch. The historic knowledge introduced on this press launch was obtained from public sources, must be thought-about incomplete and isn’t certified underneath NI 43-101, however is believed to be correct. The Firm has not verified the historic knowledge introduced and it can’t be relied upon, and it’s getting used solely to help in exploration plans. References to mineralization on the Magma Mine and Decision Copper deposit just isn’t essentially indicative of mineralization on the Silver King property.

In regards to the Silver King and Ripsey Mines
Found in 1875, the Silver King mine was one in all Arizona’s most vital historic producers, yielding practically 6 million ounces of silver at grades of as much as 61 ouncest. The Silver King mine sits solely 3 km from the primary shaft of the Decision Copper challenge — a three way partnership between Rio Tinto and BHP and one of many world’s largest unmined copper deposits with an estimated copper useful resource of 1.787 billion metric tonnes at a mean grade of 1.5% copper (1) . The distinctive land place is absolutely surrounded by Decision Copper’s declare block, providing strategic upside. Chosen samples from small-scale manufacturing within the late Nineties returned grades as excessive as 644 ouncest silver (18,250 g/t) and 0.53 ouncest gold (15 g/t), indicating that high-grade mineralization stays.
The Ripsey mine is a historic gold-silver-copper producer positioned about 20 km west of the Sizzling Breccia challenge. Historic mine workings consisting of tunnels and shafts on a number of ranges have been developed alongside a vein over about 400 meters of strike size and 160 meters vertically. A small tonnage of mineral was produced by the Optionor within the late 1990’s. Restricted sampling by Dr. Craig Gibson from the mine workings has yielded 15.9 g/t gold and 275 g/t silver over 0.75 meters and eight.7 g/t gold, 181 g/t silver, 3% copper and 9% zinc over 1 meter. No fashionable exploration has been carried out on the challenge, offering important exploration upside and a number of drill targets.
