Drilling Advancing At Silver King Project

VANCOUVER — Prismo Metals Inc. has received formal permit approval from the U.S. Forest Service to proceed with its fully funded drill program at the historic Silver King Mine project located in Arizona’s Copper Belt.
The approved permit authorizes drilling from multiple drill pads in the area of the historic mine designed to test the upper part of the Silver King mineralized body that was mined on nine levels over about 300 meters depth.
Additional high-priority targets identified through recent exploration work can also be tested with some of the planned drill locations. Testing of other targets on private ground is being considered. Mobilization on site is scheduled for February 20th followed by preparatory site work and access improvements followed by drilling.
Craig Gibson, Chief Exploration Officer, said, “Receiving approval for drilling at Silver King is a key milestone as we transition from surface exploration into active testing of the system. With funding in place for multiple phases of drilling, we are well positioned to evaluate the significant exploration potential of this historic, high-grade silver system.”
