VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prime Mining Corp. ("Prime", or the "Company") (TSV: PRYM) (OTCQX: PRMNF) (Frankfurt: O4V3) is pleased to report its operating and financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Prime is focused on the exploration and development of its wholly owned high-grade Los Reyes Gold-Silver Project in Sinaloa State, Mexico ("Los Reyes" or the "Project").
Prime Chief Executive Officer Scott Hicks commented, "Over the course of the quarter and since the quarter end, Prime has made significant progress. In September, we announced outstanding high-grade gold and silver drill results from Tahonitas at the southern end of the Z-T Trend. We also appointed board member Sunny Lowe, who brings a wealth of financial and industry experience to Prime. In October, we announced a major expansion to the resource at Los Reyes, reflecting a 49% increase in Indicated Resources to 2.2 million gold-equivalent ounces and an 11% increase in Inferred Resources to 0.8 million gold-equivalent ounces, compared to the May 2023 Resource1. The resource also included an initial high-grade underground resource, demonstrating significant underground and open pit optionality at Los Reyes. This substantial resource growth from higher-grade open pit and underground zones validates the Company's strategy of targeting a high-recovery, high-margin milling operation. We are excited to continue advancing Los Reyes through expansion and generative drilling, while de-risking the project through ongoing technical evaluations."
