Copper: The Backbone of the Energy Transition

The world is electrifying, and copper is at the core. From wind turbines to electric vehicles (EVs) and solar panels, copper demand is skyrocketing. Wind turbines need 5.5 tons of copper per megawatt, and EVs use up to four times the copper of traditional combustion engines. Yet, the copper market faces a massive supply crunch: analysts project a 7.9-million-ton deficit by 2035.

This is a generational opportunity for companies like Prismo Metals Inc. (CSE: PRIZ; OTCQB: PMOMF; FSE: 7KU), poised to deliver copper and precious metals in high-demand, resource-rich jurisdictions.

Why Prismo Metals is a Must-Watch Investment

Prismo Metals is an exploration-stage company targeting high-value copper and precious metals assets. With its flagship Hot Breccia project in Arizona and two additional projects in Mexico, Prismo is uniquely positioned to ride the wave of rising demand for critical metals.

Here’s why you don’t want to miss out:

1. Hot Breccia: A Transformational Copper Opportunity
   Located in Arizona’s Copper Belt, one of the most prolific copper regions globally, the 1,420-hectare Hot Breccia project is a geologist’s dream. Historical data reveals high-grade copper-bearing breccias, with samples showing grades up to 5.9% Cu. A modern ZTEM survey uncovered a massive subsurface anomaly, pointing to a large-scale porphyry deposit similar to Arizona’s Resolution Copper, one of the largest copper systems in the U.S.

With a fully-funded $2M, 5,000-meter drill program set to begin soon, the project has the potential to uncover a tier-one copper discovery. If successful, it could attract strategic suitors like Rio Tinto, which previously explored this property.

With copper prices above $4/lb and forecast to climb higher, the first movers in this copper supercycle could see substantial growth.

1. Palos Verdes: A High-Grade Precious Metals Prize
   This 22.8-hectare project sits in Mexico’s prolific Panuco district, home to bonanza-grade gold and silver. Drill results have returned exceptional grades, such as 102 g/t gold and 3,100 g/t silver (11,520 g/t AgEq). Vizsla Silver, a billion-dollar miner and Prismo’s largest shareholder (9.4%), holds a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) on the property, making a buyout a real possibility.

Vizsla’s CEO has even hinted, “We likely will acquire that property at some point.” With a new 3,000-meter drill program underway, more results could trigger acquisition interest.

1. Undervalued Market Cap, Outsized Potential
   With a mere $9M market cap, Prismo is trading at a fraction of its competitors. Comparable companies in Arizona and Mexico with early-stage projects trade at far higher multiples, signaling significant revaluation potential. Insider ownership of 19% ensures strong alignment with shareholders, and recent financing at $0.50/share — nearly double today’s price — highlights institutional confidence in Prismo’s upside.

Catalysts That Demand Attention

Prismo Metals offers a roadmap of near-term catalysts designed to generate investor value:

• Results from the Hot Breccia drill campaign, which could confirm a major copper discovery in a prime jurisdiction.
• High-grade drill results from Palos Verdes, which could further validate its acquisition potential.
• Strategic interest from players like Rio Tinto or Vizsla Silver, who have direct stakes in Prismo’s success.

A Proven Management Team to Drive Success

Prismo’s leadership combines world-class geological expertise with deep capital markets acumen:

• Dr. Craig Gibson, Chief Exploration Officer, is a renowned geologist with a track record of major discoveries.
• Dr. Peter Megaw, Advisor, is a mining legend whose involvement adds significant credibility.
• Alain Lambert, CEO, and Steve Robertson, President, bring decades of experience turning exploration projects into profitable ventures.

Importantly, the management team has no fixed salaries, meaning they’re only rewarded when shareholder value is created — a rare alignment of interests.

Copper is the linchpin of the green economy, and Prismo Metals is positioned to capitalize on the supply-demand imbalance. Its flagship Hot Breccia project offers potential upside, while its Palos Verdes project is already drawing interest from a billion-dollar mining company. And with multiple exploration campaigns underway, results are expected soon.
