Prismo Metals Inc. (CSE: PRIZ) (OTCQB: PMOMF) ("Prismo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a formal access agreement with the Francisco Villa Ejido, the surface owners over the Los Pavitos Project in Sonora State, Mexico to allow for exploration work including drilling. The Company negotiated a two-year agreement to formalize the previous informal agreement (see news release of Jan 19, 2022).
"This agreement allows Prismo to proceed with its drilling permit application, opening the door to a drilling program in early 2023," said Dr. Craig Gibson President and CEO of the Company. He added: "While we are getting to work right away on the environmental permitting necessary for drilling, we are also continuing the geological mapping and sampling program to cover the remaining area as the basis for the more detailed work necessary for identifying drill targets."
Initial mapping and sampling at the project were conducted in the first half of the year and covered about 75% of the area of main interest on the 5,300-hectare concession before taking a break for the summer heat and monsoon season. Geologic mapping refined several principal structures that define the Las Auras, Santa Cruz and Oromuri structural trends that were identified during original reconnaissance work by Minera Cascabel, the Hermosillo, Mexico based company from which Prismo optioned the property in October 2019. Several additional new parallel structures have been recognized, including the La Española, San Jorge and La Ramada faults. The area not yet mapped to the southeast hosts the Cerro Colorado target, a strongly altered porphyritic rhyolitic intrusion that hosts possible porphyry-related mineralization that will be studied as work at the project ramps up.

Assay results have been received for 198 samples with the best results from the Las Auras and Santa Cruz areas with individual samples yielding 10.15 and 28 g/t gold, respectively (See news release of May 11, 2022). A LiDAR survey was also carried out during the initial exploration program. A detailed interpretation of the results is in progress, but preliminary data indicate that the LiDAR data aid in definition of the mineralized structures as small workings and other features are highlighted.
QA/QC
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 as part of the ICP package using a 25-gram digestion. Certified Reference Materials including standard pulps and coarse blank material were inserted in the sample stream at regular intervals.

About Los Pavitos
The Los Pavitos project consists of a 5,289-hectare concession located in the well mineralized Alamos region of southern Sonora State that lies 25 km west of the well-mineralized Alamos District, which encompasses several active exploration and mining projects, including the past producing Alamo Dorado mine of Pan American Silver, the Piedras Verdes copper mine of Cobre de Mayo and the Alamos and Aurifero vein projects being explored by Minaurum Gold Inc. Infrastructure is excellent with paved highway access, electricity and water. The project, which was generated by Rafael Gallardo, was acquired from Minera Cascabel S.A. de C.V., a Mexican exploration and services company founded by Dr. Peter Megaw, an advisor to the Company (for terms see the Company's prospectus filed on SEDAR). The Company completed a NI 43-101 Technical Report on the project in March 2021 available on SEDAR.
