Prime Chief Government Officer Scott Hicks commented, “2024 proved to be one other transformational 12 months for Prime: we drilled over 50,000 metres, expanded the Los Reyes useful resource, superior technical de-risking and labored intently with our communities to earn our social license to function. Prime ended the 12 months in a powerful monetary place with $19 million in money available. In 2025, we’re wanting ahead to persevering with our monitor report of exploration success whereas demonstrating our deep dedication to our native communities and the atmosphere.

(Until in any other case said, all quantities are introduced in Canadian {dollars}.)
- On October 15, 2024, launched Mineral Useful resource Estimate (“MRE”), primarily based on drilling to July 17, 2024, outlining:
- Indicated Sources elevated 49% to 2.2 million AuEq and Inferred Sources elevated 11% to 0.8 million AuEq ozs in comparison with the Could 2023 MRE.
- Substantial useful resource progress from higher-grade open pit and underground zones, validating the Firm’s technique of focusing on a high-recovery, high-margin milling operation.
- Milled Indicated Sources have grown 48% to 1.93 million AuEq ozs at 2.08 g/t AuEq.
- Milled Inferred Sources have grown 19% to 0.74 million AuEq ozs at 2.05 g/t AuEq.
- Technical de-risking included within the up to date MRE consists of each larger gold recoveries primarily based on in depth metallurgical check work and geotechnical parameter updates.
- The 2024 MRE consists of an extra 86,650 metres drilled by Prime because the cutoff of the Could 2023 MRE. In whole, the 2024 MRE is predicated on 240,172 metres of drilling, of which Prime has drilled 191,451 metres. Prime’s discovery value is simply over $US 20 per useful resource ounce added since acquisition.
- Appreciable upside potential: mineralization at Los Reyes stays open alongside strike and at depth, with the continuing drill program focusing on high-grade mineralization alongside each the northwest and southeast extensions of the Z-T Development, the southeast extension of the Guadalupe and Central Developments, in addition to rising Generative Areas.
- As at December 31, held C$19 million in money with roughly $19 million of in-the-money warrants and choices expiring June 2025.
- As famous on February 19, 2025, Prime accomplished roughly 1,500 metres of drilling 12 months to this point, previous to the short-term suspension of drilling on January 28, 2025 in response to current adjustments within the safety scenario in elements of Sinaloa, together with the Los Reyes space. This suspension is just not anticipated to have an effect on the Firm’s potential to execute the 2025 drill program described, as drill rigs stay on website and drill contractors are on standby to renew drilling as quickly because the native safety scenario improves. The Firm will proceed to work with native authorities to watch the scenario.

The valuable metals mineralization is in high-grade plunging shoots containing a number of gram-per-tonne AuEq facilities with outer, lower-grade halos.
In 2024, drilling at Las Primas adopted up on earlier drilling and confirmed the continuity of a number of anastomosing buildings starting from lower than a metre to 30 metres in width. Drilling at Las Primas intercepted a number of new excessive grade mineralized buildings that seem to have many similarities to Guadalupe East, which is positioned 500 m to the northeast.

Drilling is ongoing and means that the three recognized principal deposit areas (Guadalupe, Central and Z-T) are bigger than beforehand reported. Potential additionally exists for brand new discoveries the place mineralized traits have been recognized outdoors of the presently outlined useful resource areas. Historic working outcomes point out that an estimated 1 million ounces of gold and 60 million ounces of silver have been recovered from 5 separate operations at Los Reyes between 1770 and 1990. Previous to Prime’s acquisition, current operators of Los Reyes had spent roughly US$20 million on exploration, engineering, and prefeasibility research.
QA/QC Protocols and Sampling Procedures
Drill core on the Los Reyes challenge is drilled in predominately HQ measurement (63.5 millimetres “mm”), lowering to NQ (47.6 mm) when required. Drill core samples are usually 1.50 m lengthy alongside the core axis with allowance for shorter or longer intervals if required to swimsuit geological constraints. After logging intervals are recognized to be sampled, the core is reduce and one half is submitted for assay. RC drilling returns rock chips and fines from a 133.35 mm diameter tricone bit. The returns are homogenized and break up into 2 halves, with one half submitted for evaluation and the opposite half saved.

Pattern QA/QC measures embrace unmarked licensed reference supplies, blanks, and discipline duplicates in addition to preparation duplicates are inserted into the pattern sequence and make up roughly 8% of the samples submitted to the laboratory for every drill gap.
Samples are picked up from the Mission by the laboratory personnel and transported to their amenities in Durango or Hermosillo Mexico, for pattern preparation. Pattern evaluation is carried out by Bureau Veritas and ALS Labs, with fireplace assay, together with over limits fireplace assay re-analysis, accomplished at their respective Hermosillo, Mexico laboratories and multi-element evaluation accomplished in North Vancouver, Canada. Drill core pattern preparation consists of effective crushing of the pattern to a minimum of 70% passing lower than 2 mm, pattern splitting utilizing a riffle splitter, and pulverizing a 250-gram break up to a minimum of 85% passing 75 microns.
Gold in diamond drill core is analyzed by fireplace assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy of a 30 g pattern (code FA430 or Au-AA23). Multi-element chemistry is analyzed by 4-Acid digestion of a 0.25-gram pattern break up (code MA300 or ME-ICP61) with detection by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer for a full suite of components.

Gold assay strategies FA430 and Au-AA23 have an higher detection restrict of 10 ppm. Any pattern that produces an over-limit gold worth through the preliminary assay method is distributed for gravimetric end through technique FA-530 or Au-GRA21. Silver analyses by MA300 and ME-ICP61 have an higher restrict of 200 ppm and 100 ppm, respectively. Samples with over-limit silver values are re-analyzed by fireplace assay with gravimetric end FA530 or Au-GRA21.
Each Bureau Veritas and ALS Labs are ISO/IEC accredited assay laboratories.
Extra Notes
Prime’s MRE as of October 15, 2024 is classed in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) “CIM Definition Requirements – For Mineral Sources and Mineral Reserves” adopted by the CIM Council (as amended, the “CIM Definition Requirements”) and in accordance with the necessities of NI 43-101. Mineral sources should not mineral reserves and wouldn’t have demonstrated financial viability.
Metres is represented by “m”; “etw” is Estimated True Width and is predicated on drill gap geometry or comparisons with different on-section drill holes; “Au” refers to gold, and “Ag” refers to silver; “g/t” is grams per metric tonne; some figures could not sum as a result of rounding; Composite assay grades introduced in abstract tables are calculated utilizing a Au grade minimal common of 0.20 g/t or 1.0 g/t as indicated in “Au Minimize-off” column of Abstract Tables. Most inner waste included in any reported composite interval is 3.00 m. The 1.00 g/t Au cut-off is used to outline higher-grade “cores” throughout the lower-grade halo.

Gold equal grades are calculated primarily based on an assumed gold value of US$1,950 per ounce and silver value of $25.24 per ounce, primarily based on the method AuEq grade (g/t) = Au grade + (Ag grade x $25.24 / $1,950). Metallurgical recoveries should not thought-about within the in-situ grade estimate however are estimated to be 95.6% and 81% for gold and silver, respectively, when processed in a mill, and 73% and 25% respectively when heap-leached. Extra particulars can be found within the related Technical Report, filed on November 27, 2024.
