Prime Mining Corp. (“Prime”, or the “Company”) (
TSX.V:
PRYM) (
OTCQB: PRMNF) (
Frankfurt:
O4V3) is pleased to report its operating and financial
results for the three-month period ending September 30, 2022.
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are presented in Canadian
dollars. Prime is focused on the exploration and development of its
wholly owned Los Reyes Gold-Silver Project in Sinaloa State, Mexico
(“Los Reyes” or the “Project”).
Prime Chief Executive Officer Daniel Kunz
commented, “Phase 2 exploration activities are nearing completion
and we continue to make great progress across all three major areas
of the project having now drilled over 96,000 metres. During the
quarter, step out holes in the Central Zone had discoveries of both
mill and heap leach grade mineralization that are expanding the
potential resource with drilling continuing to intersect multiple
veins down hole. Additional high grade drill results at Guadalupe
have also expanded the mineralized envelope there by several
hundred metres along strike and down dip. We look forward to
receiving additional assays as they become available.”
Corporate Highlights During the
Quarter
On August
17th, the Company announced the
appointment Mr. Scott Hicks as Executive Vice President bringing
over 20 years of experience in mining most recently serving as
Senior Vice President Technical Services, Geology and Mine Planning
at Kinross Gold Corporation. Mr. Hicks has assumed day-to-day
charge over the Company’s business development communications and
marketing.
Exploration Highlights During the
QuarterOn July 18th, the
Company announced positive drill results from 8 drill holes at San
Miguel East in the Central Zone Area. The ongoing step out drilling
here has made discoveries of both mill and heap leach grade
mineralization that are expanding the potential resource at this
deposit.
Highlight intercepts
include:
- 2.7 gpt Au and 130 gpt Ag over 16.9 metres etw
- 4.86 gpt Au and 151.5 gpt Ag over
6.1 metres etw
- 1.88 gpt Au and 283.7 gpt Ag over
2.6 metres etw
On September
7th, the Company announced new drill
results extending Guadalupe at depth and along strike with multiple
thick high-grade gold-silver intercepts. Results included 42
in-fill and step-out drill holes which considerably expand the
gold-silver mineralization potential at Guadalupe.
Highlight intercepts
include:
- 5.01 gpt Au and 328.1 gpt Ag over
1.9 metres etw
- 1.65 gpt Au and 235.9 gpt Ag over
13.5 m etw, plus 0.95 gpt Au and 124.5 gpt Ag over 6.0 m etw, plus
2.52 gpt Au and 365.0 gpt Ag over 1.5 m etw
- 1.46 gpt Au and 56.3 gpt Ag over
14.4 m etw, plus 1.01 gpt Au and 67.2 gpt Ag over 1.5 m etw
Advisory Agreement Renewed
On June 8th, the Company
renewed a services agreement between Trinity Advisors Corporation
for a 2-year term expiring June 8, 2024. The agreement was
subsequently amended on September 8th to revise the compensation
terms. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is required to pay a
fee of $112,500 every six months during the term of the agreement,
with the first payment occurring on or before December 8, 2022. The
fee will be entirely satisfied through the issuance of units (each,
a “Unit”) of the Company at a deemed price equivalent to the
discounted market price on the TSX Venture Exchange immediately
prior to issuance. Each Unit will consist of one common share of
the Company and one common share purchase warrant (each, a
“Warrant”), with each Warrant being exercisable for one common
share of the Company (each, a “Share”) for a period of three (3)
years at an exercise price equivalent to a 20% premium to the last
closing price of the common shares of the Company immediately prior
to the issuance of the Units, subject to such minimum pricing as
may be permitted by the policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange.Maintaining Health and Safety
Protocols
The Company continues to successfully mitigate
the impact of Covid-19 on operations. To-date Covid-19 has not had

community data in the quarter to help support our ESG programs,
including completion of a materiality assessment, strategic plan
and disclosure matrix. We strive to minimize the environmental
impact of our activities and ensure that Los Reyes has a positive
impact on our host communities.
During the quarter the Company provided
assistance to the local community to mitigate the damage caused by
the heavy rains on the roads. In addition to helping clear rocks
off the main road for access, the Company waterproofed the local
church and provided water pumps and water diversion techniques to
prevent future road closures.

conditioning units and whiteboards to the local school which was
greatly appreciated.

Los Reyes Gold and Silver
Project
Los Reyes is a rapidly evolving high-grade, low
sulphidation epithermal gold-silver project located in Sinaloa,
Mexico, within the prolific Sierra Madre mining region. Historic
operating results indicate that an estimated 1 million ounces of
gold and 60 million ounces of silver were recovered from five
separate operations at Los Reyes between 1770 and 1990. Prior to
Prime’s acquisition, recent operators of Los Reyes had spent
approximately USD 20 million on exploration, engineering, and
prefeasibility studies. The Project remains underexplored as only
40% of the known structures have been systematically drilled,
leaving 10 kilometres of untested strike length. Los Reyes holds
potential for additional discovery and resource expansion.
Since acquiring Los Reyes in 2019, Prime has
spent approximately US$30 million on direct exploration activities
and is nearing completion of two phases of comprehensive drilling
totaling over 87,000 metres and growing. Results to date suggest
the eight known deposits are much larger than previously reported
and potential exists for new discoveries outside of current defined
resource areas.
About Prime Mining
Prime Mining is an ideal mix of successful
mining executives, strong capital markets personnel, and
experienced local operators focused on unlocking the full potential
of the high-grade Los Reyes Gold-Silver Project in Mexico. Prime
Mining has a well-planned capital structure with significant team
and insider ownership.
