Prismo to receive Silver King sample results in June

PRISMO METALS REPORTS POSITIVE RESULTS FROM RECONNAISSANCE MAPPING AND SAMPLING AT SILVER KING PROJECT, ARIZONA

Prismo Metals Inc. has provided an update on recent reconnaissance geologic mapping and rock sampling at and around its Silver King project, located in the Pioneer mining district near the town of Superior, Ariz.

This reconnaissance program follows the successful completion of phase 1 drilling at Silver King, consisting of eight holes totalling 1,272 metres. This drill campaign confirmed shallow silver mineralization associated with quartz/barite veining in the upper historic mine levels while a deep hole (SK-26-07, 488 metres) intersected at-depth potassic alteration, disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite in a porphyry-style intrusive at depth. This suggests potential vertical zoning with near-surface epithermal silver plus or minus copper, lead, gold, and zinc veins superpositioned above potential porphyry copper mineralization, significantly enhancing the project's exploration potential.

Several undrilled vein targets need additional testing, and some deeper holes may be needed to fully explore growing evidence that a possible porphyry copper system lies adjacent or beneath Silver King, in elephant country just 3.4 kilometres from the giant Resolution copper deposit.

Samples from all eight drill holes have been submitted to an independent laboratory for full assay analysis. Assay results are anticipated to be announced once all results are received and analyzed, some time in early June.

The Silver King mine occurs at the base of a regional unconformity where Paleozoic limestones, sediments and intrusive rocks are exposed beneath the Tertiary Whitetail conglomerate and volcanic rocks exposing veins, quartz stockwork, hydrothermal breccias, skarn and multiple Laramide intrusives beneath. Abundant historic workings scattered throughout the Paleozoic and older rocks suggest widespread mineralization that may be symptomatic of high-temperature porphyry-style alteration at depth.

Highlights of the reconnaissance program:

  • Completed 50 per cent of the planned reconnaissance geologic mapping and sampling in late April, 2026, progressing from Peachville Wash westward through Silverado, Wash., and inward toward the central Silver King shaft, including portions of Comstock, Wash., and the Crown zone;
  • Collected 23 rock samples, submitted to SGS for full assay analysis; results pending;
  • Mapped two broad, apparently separate pyrite halo zones, one approximately 800 metres wide necked down to the south but open to the north, and a second centred on Silver King extending roughly 600 m wide northwest by at least 1,300 m northeast, with potential to expand farther;
  • Discovered previously unmapped hydrothermal/magmatic breccias in Silverado, Wash., exhibiting milled polylithic fragments in a chlorite-pyrite matrix, some exhibiting pyrite, chalcopyrite and/or copper oxides, invaded by later quartz diorite; and a second similar polylithic breccia (lacking pyrite) located 700 m to the southwest; the Crown stockwork may be an additional hydrothermal breccia, known to assay good gold and copper values (reported previously);
  • Grab samples from historic shafts and dumps (including Stone Wall and Bilk) suggest increasing alteration intensity at depth, with potassic alteration (potassium feldspar selvages on veins and clots of shreddy biotite), magnetite, chalcopyrite, acanthite and other indicators consistent with a mineralizing porphyry source;
  • Alteration intensity, together with an increase in quartz veining within the Silver King pyrite halo, appears to vector toward the central Silver King shaft/Crown/Black Diamond area; additional mapping is planned to cover the remaining areas of eastern Crown, the Black Diamond skarn, Yellowjack and the Apache mine.

Dr. Craig Gibson, PhD, CPG, chief exploration officer, commented: "The reconnaissance work to date has successfully outlined two significant sulphide alteration zones that could represent separate porphyry-style centres. The discovery of hydrothermal breccias with mineralized fragments and evidence of multiple intrusive phases, combined with potassic-altered and copper-bearing samples from deeper historic workings at Bilk and Stone Wall, provides evidence for a productive porphyry copper system at depth beneath or adjacent to the historic Silver King mine. These features align well with the porphyry-style alteration and mineralization intersected in hole SK-26-07 of our recent phase 1 drilling."

Dr. Linus Keating, CPG, special adviser to Prismo, who led this phase of the reconnaissance program, commented: "The evidence for a productive porphyry system below Silver King to date is encouraging, but it is only a partial picture. Mapping is helping to define a sulphide system that may be symmetric upon and perhaps centred on the Silver King embayment. Hydrothermal breccias (including possibly the Crown zone) are suggestive of a productive magmatic source at depth. Sampling at old mines and prospects on the far exterior of the Silver King might well produce indications of metal zoning that would be expected around the outer edges of a large porphyry (assays are pending). Mineralized samples taken at Bilk and Stone Wall indicate that the right type of alteration is present, hinting at a productive porphyry at depth. Altered granite fragments in hydrothermal breccia and a mineralized quartz monzonite dike both suggest that the exposed quartz diorite may not be the causative intrusion; rather, another intrusive may exist at depth."

He added: "The presence of potassic alteration, magnetite-chalcopyrite veining and copper oxides in quartz monzonite and related intrusives strongly supports our model of a productive porphyry copper system in the area. I look forward to completing the remaining fieldwork with Dr. Gibson and integrating the assay results in our geological model."

Alain Lambert, chief executive officer of Prismo Metals, stated: "Following the encouraging phase 1 drilling results that pointed to a transition into porphyry-style copper mineralization at depth, this surface reconnaissance has further strengthened our geological model. The mapped pyrite halos, new breccia discoveries and vectoring samples are exactly the kinds of indicators we look for in elephant country near the giant Resolution copper deposit only 3.4 km away. We are excited to complete the remaining mapping and sampling and incorporate these data into planning for our phase 2 drilling at Silver King."

Next steps

Additional days of fieldwork are planned to complete coverage of the property, together with collection of approximately 25 more samples. Thin-section petrographic work is also under way. Assay results from the current batch of 23 samples are expected in the coming weeks and will be integrated with continuing 3-D modelling to refine targets for future drilling.

Management update and shares for debt

Prismo announces that Gordon Aldcorn will be resigning, effective May 15, 2026. The company wishes to thank Mr. Aldcorn for his service since his appointment in early 2025. Mr. Lambert will assume the title of president in addition to being CEO.

Prismo also announces that it has entered into two debt settlement agreements with two creditors of the company directly involved in the recent drill campaign pursuant to which the company agreed to issue to the creditors, and the creditors agreed to accept, an aggregate of 1,555,475 shares of the company at a deemed issue price of six cents per share in full and final settlement of a portion of their service fees in the aggregate amount of $93,328.49. All securities issued pursuant to the debt settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

About the Silver King

Discovered in 1875, the Silver King mine was Arizona's first and one of its most important historic silver producers, yielding nearly six million ounces of silver at grades of up to 61 ounces per ton (from historical records, non NI 43-101-compliant). The Silver King mine sits only 3.4 kilometres from the main shaft of the Resolution copper project -- a joint venture between Rio Tinto and BHP and one of the world's largest unmined copper deposits.
