Windfall wins $80,000 contract from Prismo Metals

WIN · Price

Executive Summary

  • Prismo Metals Inc. has engaged Windfall Geotek Inc. to apply its proprietary AI system to the Hot Breccia copper property in Arizona to identify porphyry copper signatures.
  • The contract is valued at $80,000, with the AI model integrating geophysical, topographic, and drill hole data to validate drill targets.
  • Management highlights the project's proximity to major historic deposits like the Christmas mine and the Resolution deposit, citing strong geological similarities.

Key Details

  • Contract Value: $80,000 for the engagement of Windfall Geotek's AI system.
  • Project Location: Hot Breccia property, Arizona, covering approximately 1,420 hectares (14.2 square kilometres).
  • AI System Application:
    • Focused on identifying porphyry copper signatures.
    • Integrated Mag EM geophysical data, DEM topography data, and drill hole data from Prismo's databases.
    • Digitized the nearby Christmas copper deposit (0.60 square kilometre at 5,000 ppm Cu) to extract its digital signature.
    • Developed a comprehensive AI-driven model to score every cell across the Hot Breccia property for similar geological patterns.
  • Geological Context:
    • Hot Breccia is located in the Arizona copper belt, near world-class mines including Morenci, Ray, and Resolution.
    • The property shares geological features with the Christmas mine (a past-producing porphyry copper skarn deposit) and the BHP-Rio Tinto Resolution deposit (located 40 km northwest).
    • ZTEM survey identified a large conductive anomaly beneath breccia outcrops.
    • Sampling shows copper mineralization associated with polylithic breccia pipes transporting fragments from depths of 400 to 1,000 metres.
  • Strategic Goal: To reduce the exploration footprint by 98-99% and validate drill targets for deep drilling to tap into the source of mineralized fragments.

Notable Quotes

  • Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo Metals: "The copper exploration target at Hot Breccia has geophysical, geochemical and geological features characteristic of many porphyry copper deposits located in the famous Arizona copper belt... We remain committed to advancing our Hot Breccia copper project, and we believe this collaboration with Windfall Geotek will greatly enhance our understanding of its geological setting and further validate our drill targets."
  • Michel Fontaine, President and CEO of Windfall Geotek: "After 20 years of leveraging AI for mineral exploration, the mining sector is finally embracing innovative digital technologies to reduce environmental impact and increase discovery success. Our AI system can reduce the footprint of exploration targets by 98 to 99 per cent... If you trust your data, you should trust our AI. Let the data speak for itself. The best place to find a porphyry is near another porphyry."
