Prismo Metals has engaged Exploration Technologies Inc. (ExploreTech) to apply their xFlare artificial intelligence (AI)-optimized drill planning solution, to the company’s Hot Breccia Project.
The xFlare AI approach is specifically designed to combine surface geology and drilling results with computationally intensive remodeling of existing geophysical datasets to optimize targeting of covered targets. The process quickly generates thousands of solutions that cluster on the best fits between the geological and geophysical data and then generates drillhole trajectories designed to cut those clusters most effectively.
“The Hot Breccia Project should be an ideal place to apply xFlare. It lies in the world-famous Arizona copper belt, between several very well understood world-class copper mines including Morenci, Ray, and Resolution. Hot Breccia shows many features in common with these neighboring systems, most prominently a swarm of porphyry dikes and series of breccia pipes containing numerous fragments of well copper-mineralized rocks mixed with fragments of volcanic and sedimentary derived from considerable depth,” said Dr. Craig Gibson, president and CEO of Prismo Metals.
“Prismo ran a ZTEM survey last year that identified a very large conductive anomaly directly beneath the breccia outcrops and expects xFlare’s AI approach to zero in on where and at what depth to drill. The drill permitting process is well advanced,” added Dr. Gibson.
“Hot Breccia has all the right elements for significant porphyry copper and skarn mineralization, and we are thrilled to be partnering with Prismo to optimize their drilling,” said Dr. Alex Miltenberger, ExploreTech’s co-founder and CEO.
“Prismo’s ZTEM anomaly is very strong, and xFlare was designed precisely to refine these kinds of data to match what is known of the geology and the target model,” added Dr. Miltenberger.
Prismo Metals is mining exploration company focused on two precious metal projects in Mexico (Palos Verdes and Los Pavitos) and a copper project in Arizona (Hot Breccia).
