About Prism Resources Inc.

Prism acquired the Huampar project from Trevali Mining Corporation (TSX:TV) and Nueva Condor, a private Peruvian mining company, in July of 2016. Our priority has been to establish good community relations and agreements which are in process. More recently our focus has been for the reconstruction of the mine models and organization of the databases in anticipation of a program designed to examine the reactivation of mining production. The mining rate will be determined based on the economics provided by the current study. To that end, JDS of Mining & Energy have been contracted to carry out a PEA on the Huampar reactivation project.
