Prismo Metals Completes ZTEM Survey at the Hot Breccia Project in Arizona

Prismo Metals Completes ZTEM Survey at the Hot Breccia Project in Arizona

Palos Verdes Assays Pending

Prismo Metals Inc. (CSE: PRIZ) (OTCQB: PMOMF) ("Prismo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the airborne ZTEM geophysical survey at Hot Breccia has been completed as part of an ongoing exploration program at the project located in the center of the prolific Arizona Copper Belt. The Company has also received assay results for the first batch of samples taken at the project, that indicate the presence of not only copper mineralization, but also gold mineralization associated with gossanous veins and shear zones.

Dr. Craig Gibson, President and CEO commented: "We are pleased to have completed the ZTEM survey on time, and are looking forward to seeing the results, with interpretations expected to be received in the next few weeks. We are also excited about the first assay results that, when combined with historic assays by the property vendor, show not only copper mineralization in the area of the surface exposures of the namesake polylithic breccia, but also gold values with some copper associated with gossanous shear zones throughout the property that are commonly located at the contacts of a dike swarm cutting older rocks. The presence of gold in the mineralizing system could be important for future development of the project."

The Hot Breccia project consists of 227 mining concessions that lie about four kilometers from the historic Christmas mine which recorded production of about 481.6 Mlbs of copper from 20.2 M tons at a grade of 1.2% Cu plus significant gold and silver (Sources: Arizona Geological Society Spring Field Trip Guide in 2014). Prismo has not been able to verify the production information and it is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Hot Breccia property. It is believed that the Hot Breccia property may contain high grade skarn mineralization similar to that originally mined at the Christmas mine and the historical information is being used by Prismo solely to plan and guide future exploration.

Kennecott drilled seven holes from 1972 to 1981 and Phelps Dodge drilled two holes on and near the current property in the same era.

All drill holes intersected hydrothermal alteration within the volcanic rocks that overlie the typically better mineralized Paleozoic carbonate rocks with increasing alteration intensity downwards. The carbonate host units have several copper intercepts reported to exceed 1% copper and elevated zinc.

Palos Verdes Update

The Company has completed 1,239 meters of drilling in seven holes, with the 8th hole in progress. We expect to release assay results from the first seven holes during the week of July 17.

QA/QC

Rock samples taken by Prismo were analyzed by multielement ICP-AES and MS methods by ALS Group, an internationally recognized analytical service provider. Gold was analyzed by fire assay using a 25-gram charge, with an AA finish. Cu over 1% by an overrange method. Certified Reference Materials including standard pulps and coarse blank material were inserted in the sample stream at regular intervals. Samples taken by the vendor in 2023 were also analyzed by ALS Group. Samples taken by the vendor in 1989 were analyzed by Skyline Labs, certificates and QAQC data are not available, and these data should not be relied upon, and are used solely as a guide to exploration.

Dr. Craig Gibson, PhD., CPG., a Qualified Person as defined by NI-43-01 regulations and President, CEO and a director of the Company, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosures in this news release.

Gold Price Hits New Record, Breaking US$3,300 for First Time

The gold price reached yet another record high on Wednesday (April 16), breaking US$3,300 per ounce.

The precious metal has gained significant momentum since the beginning of the year. In trading on Wednesday it surged past the US$3,200 mark, climbing as high as US$3,354.10 per ounce. The price retreated below the US$3,300 mark on Thursday (April 17).

The rise comes after statements from US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made at the Economic Club of Chicago on Wednesday. In his remarks, he said that he expects US President Donald Trump's tariff policy to negatively impact US economic growth and further fuel inflation.

Gold has long been considered a store of wealth, and the price of gold often makes its biggest gains during turbulent times as investors look for cover in this safe-haven asset.

The 21st century has so far been heavily marked by episodes of economic and sociopolitical upheaval. Uncertainty has pushed the precious metal to record highs as market participants seek its perceived security. And each time the gold price rises, there are calls for even higher record-breaking levels.

Gold market gurus from Lynette Zang to Chris Blasi to Jordan Roy-Byrne have shared eye-popping predictions on the gold price that would intrigue any investor — gold bug or not.
