About Prismo
Prismo is engaged in the business of mineral exploration and the acquisition of mineral property assets in Mexico. Its objective is to locate and develop economic precious and base metal properties of merit. Further to this objective, the Company entered into an option agreement with Prospeccion Y Desarrollo Minero Del Norte, S.A. de C.V. ("ProDeMin"), effective May 7, 2019, pursuant to which it was granted the option to acquire a 75% interest in the Palos Verdes Property, which constitutes the material property of the Company. Prismo's Palos Verdes Project lies within the historic Panuco-Copala silver-gold district in Sinaloa, Mexico where Vizsla Resources Corp. have reported considerable success recently.
The Panuco-Copala district is characterized by a swarm of north to northwesterly oriented veins that stretch laterally for 15 km along a northeast-southwest trend. Northeasterly-trending veins that link and/or cross the northwesterly veins are locally well developed within the district. The eastern part of the district is topographically much higher than the western zone where veins are prominently exposed. Vein outcrops are subtle in the eastern zone, suggesting they are exposed at a much higher level and have not lost their uppermost high-grade zones to erosion.
The Palos Verdes concession (claim) covers 700 meters of strike length of the Palos Verdes vein, a member of the northeasterly trending vein family located in the eastern part of the district outside of the area of modern exploration. Geologic mapping indicates that a northwesterly striking structure intersects the Palos Verdes vein in the center of the concession. Drilling conducted in 2018 on the Palos Verdes Vein by ProDeMin was relatively shallow (
