(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia, February 12th, 2026 TheNewswire — Prismo Metals Inc. (‘Prismo’ or the ‘Company’) (CSE: PRIZ,OTC:PMOMF | OTCQB: PMOMF) is pleased to announce that it has received formal permit approval from the U.S. Forest Service to proceed with its fully funded drill program at the Company’s historic Silver King Mine project located in Arizona’s prolific 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 (Fig. 1).

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.

Dr. Craig Gibson, Chief Exploration Officer of Prismo Metals, commented: ‘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.’

Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo commented: ‘Following a very smooth permitting process with Forest Service, we are now ready to conduct the first ever comprehensive drill program at Silver King. Our exploration work to date has attracted the attention of many given the results we have published and our proximity (3.4 km) to Resolution Copper, a Rio Tinto/BHP joint venture. I expect the drilling program to heighten attention.’

Phase 1 Drill Program Highlights:

• Fully funded program 

• 1,000 meters of diamond drilling to test the upper portion of the steeply plunging, pipe-like Silver King mineralized body 

• Mobilization to Silver King Project scheduled for February 20th, 2026 

• Additional drilling to test lower down in the mineralized structure and mineralized areas adjacent to the historic mine may also be completed

Drilling will initially focus on testing the upper portion of the steeply west-dipping pipelike stockwork and breccia zone that historically produced high-grade silver and base metals (Fig. 2), as well as targets adjacent to and beneath historic workings. Initial drilling is estimated at 1000 meters in nine holes.  A second phase of drilling will be dedicated to testing at deeper levels and areas adjacent to the historic mine.

Dr. Gibson, added: ‘We are pleased to engage Godbe Drilling, a highly respected contractor with substantial experience in Arizona and a staging area near the project. The objective is to test the upper half of the steeply dipping pipelike Silver King mineralized body, as well as potential mineralization adjacent to the dense stockwork zones that were the focus of historic mining.’

Drilling Contractor Engagement

Prismo has engaged Godbe Drilling LLC to conduct this Phase 1 drilling program. Godbe Drilling LLC is a Colorado-based family-owned diamond core drilling and mineral exploration business with extensive operating experience in the southwestern United States, including Arizona.

Silver King Project Overview

The Silver King mine was discovered in 1875 and is one of Arizona’s most significant historic silver producers, with nearly six million ounces of silver produced at average grades ranging from approximately 61 to 21 ounces per ton during early production. Limited small-scale mining in the late 1990s yielded samples with exceptionally high silver and associated gold values, suggesting that high-grade mineralization remains within the system. The project is located within the same geological framework as other world-class deposits in the Arizona Copper Belt, and its proximity to active mining operations enhances its strategic significance.

Qualified Person

Dr. Craig Gibson, PhD., CPG., a Qualified Person as defined by NI-43-01 regulations and Chief Exploration Officer and a director of the Company, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosures in this news release.
