Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire – September 15th, 2025 Prismo Metals Inc. (the ‘ Company ‘ ) (CSE: PRIZ,OTC:PMOMF) (OTCQB: PMOMF) is pleased to report that its exploration team has identified porphyry style mineralization at its Silver King project located outside the town of Superior in Arizona. Given the proximity of the nearby Resolution Copper deposit (a joint venture between Rio Tinto and BHP), the team is excited about the potential of this same style of mineralization identified at surface within the eastern portion of our claim.

This region is world-class for porphyry systems and base and precious metals, and we believe there is significant untapped potential. Our recent field work at the Silver King mine was successful in identifying several exploration targets apart from the historic silver mine deposit including polymetallic veins, manto replacements and a strongly altered intrusion with stockwork quartz-pyrite veining. Identifying this porphyry style mineralization on the claim block is a very positive development ,’ said Dr. Craig Gibson , Chief Exploration Officer.

Figure 1 . Map showing Silver King project and nearby mineral deposits.

The Silver King deposit is located three kilometers from the Resolution Copper deposit and the high-grade Magma mine, a former copper and silver producer, located 0.6 to 1.5 kilometers to the southwest Mineralization at Silver King is hosted by the same rock sequence that hosts those two deposits but is exposed at surface and is not covered by the thick sequence of unmineralized volcanic rocks that covers Resolution Copper. From 1911 to 1996 the Magma mine was developed on veins and replacement deposits in the Paleozoic and Precambrian strata and intrusive rocks, producing approximately 27.6 million short tons of ore averaging about 4.9% copper with important quantities of zinc, gold (689K oz) and silver (34.3M oz) (Briggs, 2015), eventually leading to the discovery of the nearby Resolution copper deposit (Fig. 1).

M ineralization similar to that at the Magma mine is exposed in several historic mine workings with abundant oxide copper minerals, mainly malachite, which were developed along a northeast dipping limestone horizon near the contact with a quartz diorite intrusion and quartzite along the same structural and stratigraphic trend of the Magma mine. The largest occurrence, at the Black Diamond mine in the eastern portion of the claim block, was developed on a large outcrop of abundant specular hematite and malachite replacing a limestone bed (Fig. 2) .

Additionally, an erosional window in a regional quartz diorite has exposed a felsic intrusion to the east of the Silver King workings that was identified in historical records and now confirmed by Prismo geologists.  This felsic intrusion, previously described as a breccia pipe, is characterized by very strong stockwork quartz-pyrite veining in a quartz-sericite altered host rock. This target contains anomalous metal values in soil samples analyzed with the XRF. According to historical reports it has high salinity fluid inclusions typical of a porphyry system, providing evidence for porphyry mineralization on the Silver King claim package.

‘Much of the focus of the exploration program to date consisted of a property wide survey of historic mines and prospects surrounding the Silver King workings, said Gordon Aldcorn, President of Prismo .

The exploration work has resulted in the identification of several mineralized occurrences on the property, including veins in the vicinity of the Silver King mine, and replacement and skarn mineralization in limestone units of the sedimentary sequence near the contact.’

Part of the initial exploration program consisted of a reconnaissance survey of the geology and mineral occurrences as well as a geochemical and alteration mineral survey around the surface expression of the Silver King deposit and a second separate target to the east.

The geochemical survey used a handheld XRF instrument to measure soil samples, and showed discrete anomalies for Cu, Ag, and Sb around the historic glory hole, with the copper geochemistry also associated with the ENE striking Cu bearing vein mentioned previously (Fig. 3). Twenty-nine samples have been submitted to the lab, with an additional fifteen samples from the Ripsey mine.

This initial phase of Prismo exploration on the Silver King project is already generating a better understanding of potential with new structures not fully uncovered in historical mining approaches. This work also helps qualify our upcoming drill program which is currently in the permitting stage and is anticipated to be advanced shortly.

As previously reported in Primo’s news release of August 28, 2025, the Company geologists identified two previously undescribed veins in the area surrounding the historic glory hole developed on the original exposure of high-grade silver at the Silver King deposit.  Visual inspection and analysis with a handheld XRF show two distinct veins, one with abundant silver lead and zinc and the other with copper and silver values.

About the Silver King and Ripsey Mines

Discovered in 1875, the Silver King mine was one of Arizona’s most important historic producers, yielding nearly 6 million ounces of silver at grades of up to 61 oz/t.  The Silver King mine sits only 3 km from the main shaft of the Resolution Copper project — a joint venture between Rio Tinto and BHP and one of the world’s largest unmined copper deposits with an estimated copper resource of 1.787 billion metric tonnes at an average grade of 1.5% copper (1) . The unique land position is fully surrounded by Resolution Copper’s claim block, offering strategic upside. Selected samples from small-scale production in the late 1990s returned grades as high as 644 oz/t silver (18,250 g/t) and 0.53 oz/t gold (15 g/t), indicating that high-grade mineralization remains.

The Ripsey mine is a historic gold-silver-copper producer located about 20 km west of the Hot Breccia project. Historic mine workings consisting of tunnels and shafts on several levels were developed along a vein over about 400 meters of strike length and 160 meters vertically. A small tonnage of mineral was produced by the Optionor in the late 1990’s. Limited sampling by Dr. Craig Gibson from the mine workings has yielded 15.9 g/t gold and 275 g/t silver over 0.75 meters and 8.7 g/t gold, 181 g/t silver, 3% copper and 9% zinc over 1 meter.  No modern exploration has been carried out at the project, providing significant exploration upside and multiple drill targets.

September 15, 2025 TheNewswire – Vancouver, British Columbia Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (‘Blue Lagoon’ or the ‘Company’) (CSE: BLLG,OTC:BLAGF; OTCQB: BLAGF; FSE: 7BL) is pleased to announce that the Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (‘MBBR’) system at its Dome Mountain Water Treatment Plant is now ready for commissioning.

Designed to meet all regulatory discharge standards, the plant was developed in close collaboration with Soren Jensen, the Company’s principal environmental consultant from SRK Consulting. Mr. Jensen, who holds a masters degree in chemical engineering, has more than 20 years of experience designing, commissioning, and operating mine water treatment systems, including similar facilities at underground gold mines in Northern Canada. His expertise ensures that the Dome Mountain system is engineered to treat mine water efficiently, in full compliance with permit conditions, and in alignment with Blue Lagoon’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

The MBBR system is part of Dome Mountain’s state-of-the-art Water Treatment Plant, which is designed to treat up to 400 liters per minute (‘L/min’). Current mine water output is approximately 20-40 L/min, ensuring ample capacity as operations scale. This robust infrastructure underscores Blue Lagoon’s commitment to environmental stewardship while supporting safe and efficient underground development.

MINING TO COMMENCE SEPTEMBER 24, 2025

Underground mining operations are scheduled to commence on September 24, 2025 , beginning with development work. The Company expects to achieve a steady ramp-up to 100 tonnes per day (‘tpd’) within four weeks and 150 tpd within twelve weeks. By that point the Company expects to have five to six working faces exposed, providing strong operational flexibility. Importantly, all mine waste will remain underground, further aligning with the Company’s environmental and regulatory commitments.

To enhance operational readiness and safety, Blue Lagoon has signed a Mutual Aid Agreement with New Gold Inc. , reinforcing its collaborative approach and ensuring rapid access to additional emergency support if ever required.

The Company’s underground program will be led by Mike McCartin , a seasoned underground mining geologist who will oversee daily operations and training of mine staff. Complementing this, a Senior Mining Engineer from Roughstock Mining Services will establish mining protocols, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and underground surveying requirements, ensuring industry best practices are embedded from day one.

‘As we commission the MBBR system and prepare to send our crews underground to commence operations, Blue Lagoon is entering a transformational phase,’ said Rana Vig, President & CEO of Blue Lagoon Resources. ‘With a fully permitted project, the right infrastructure, and a strong technical team, we are well positioned to generate near-term cash flow, while minimizing risk and maximizing efficiency. Dome Mountain is rare in British Columbia, one of only nine projects permitted since 2015, and we are proud to be advancing it responsibly, with safety and environmental care at the forefront.’

About Blue Lagoon Resources Inc.

Blue Lagoon Resources is a Canadian based publicly listed mining company (CSE: BLLG,OTC:BLAGF; FSE: 7BL; OTCQB: BLAGF) focused on building shareholder value through the aggressive development of its 100% owned Dome Mountain Gold project. The Company is run by professionals with significant finance and mining experience and operates within a prime mining jurisdiction in British Columbia, Canada. With the granting of a full mining permit, a key milestone achieved in February 2025 – one of only nine such permits issued in British Columbia since 2015 – Blue Lagoon is now focused on last preparatory activities and tasks related to the safe and secure opening of the Dome Mountain Gold Mine, targeting Q3 2025 as the start of gold production . The Company’s primary objective has always been to become a cash-flowing mining company, to ultimately deliver tangible monetary value to shareholders, state, and local communities.

The Company is not basing its production decision at Dome Mountain on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The production decision is based on having existing mining infrastructure, past bulk sampling and processing activity, and the established mineral resource.  The Company understands that there is increased uncertainty, and consequently a higher risk of failure, when production is undertaken in advance of a feasibility study.

Today’s crypto news to know

Bitcoin ETF inflows fuel bets on a Q4 rally

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US have seen a staggering US$2.3 billion in inflows over the past week, a sign that institutional demand is surging just ahead of a critical Federal Reserve decision.

Traders widely expect the Fed to cut rates on September 17, a move that could boost risk assets across the board.

Analysts say Bitcoin, which has slipped nearly 8 percent since peaking at US$124,128 in August, may be poised for another leg higher if liquidity conditions ease.

“We’re only halfway through what could be a very powerful Q4 rally,” said Sean Dawson, head of research at Derive, who projects prices could reach US$140,000 by year-end.

Options data shows heavy positioning at US$140,000 to US$200,000 December calls, with some putting cycle tops as high as US$250,000 if flows persist.

France threatens to block EU crypto license “passporting”

France’s financial regulator is raising the stakes in Europe’s battle over crypto oversight, warning it could block firms licensed in other EU countries from operating domestically.

According to a Reuters exclusive, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) says some companies are “shopping around” for jurisdictions with looser standards under the bloc’s new MiCA framework, then using those approvals to “passport” their services across the EU.

Alongside Italy and Austria, France is pressing for the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to take charge of supervising major crypto players.

AMF chief Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani described the potential rejection of EU licences as an “atomic weapon” that Paris could wield if it sees regulatory gaps.

Analysts are concerned that fragmented national approaches could undermine investor protection and financial stability.

Notably, exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini have already secured MiCA licences in Luxembourg and Malta, raising questions about uneven enforcement across the bloc.

Ethereum Foundation pivots to privacy-first roadmap

The Ethereum Foundation has unveiled a new initiative to make privacy a default feature across the blockchain’s ecosystem.

Rebranding its Privacy & Scaling Explorations team as the “Privacy Stewards of Ethereum,” the foundation laid out plans for private transfers, confidential DeFi, and protected governance mechanisms within the next six months.

“Our vision is to make privacy on Ethereum the norm rather than the exception,” the group said in a statement, arguing that users and institutions would otherwise drift to centralized alternatives.

The roadmap also extends beyond transactions, with proposals to embed privacy in wallets, identity tools, and data portability.

Co-founder Vitalik Buterin has long championed stronger safeguards. His recent comments about risks from AI-driven data leakage have reinforced the urgency of integrating privacy at the protocol level.

Fast-food restaurants are losing breakfast customers to convenience stores.

Morning meal traffic to fast-food chains rose 1% in the three months ended in July, while visits to food-forward convenience stores climbed 9% in the same period, according to market research firm Circana.

“Over the long run, convenience stores have taken share, really at foodservice overall, but the morning meal has been their strong suit,” David Portalatin, Circana senior vice president and foodservice industry advisor, told CNBC, noting the trend has largely been driven by what the group calls “food-forward convenience stores.”

For decades, McDonald’s and its rivals have tried to lure consumers away from home to eat their early morning offerings, betting that convenience and unique items will win over diners.

While fast-food chains have made some inroads, 87% of what consumers eat and drink in the morning comes from their own refrigerators or pantries, according to Portalatin. That leaves plenty of opportunity for fast-food chains — and anyone else who wants a slice of the breakfast pie.

Before the pandemic, fast-food chains started seeing a new rival for their breakfast customers: convenience stores. Regional chains like Wawa in the Northeast and Casey’s General Store in the Midwest were expanding their reach and investing in their foodservice options, taking pages from the fast-food companies’ own playbooks.

For a time, lockdowns and the shift to hybrid work reversed those market share gains. But in the three months ended in July, food-forward convenience stores once again gained the upper hand in the battle to serve consumers breakfast, according to Portalatin.

Circana separates food-forward convenience stores like Buc-ee’s and Sheetz from the broader industry, although more chains may soon fit under that umbrella. 7-Eleven, the biggest convenience, or c-store, in the U.S., is planning to invest more in its prepared foods business, inspired by the success of its Japanese business. C-store chain RaceTrac on Wednesday announced that it’s buying Potbelly for about $566 million, although it’s unclear what its plans for the sandwich chain include beyond expanding its footprint.

In recent years, more diners have been watching their budgets, conscious of rising menu prices and a tight job market.

Year-over-year morning traffic to fast-food chains has fallen every quarter for the last three years, according to data from Revenue Management Solutions, which advises restaurants on how to increase sales and profits. In the second quarter, fast-food breakfast visits fell 8.7%.

To see the struggles, look no further than McDonald’s, which dominates the quick-service breakfast category.

″The breakfast daypart is the most economically sensitive daypart, because it’s the easiest daypart of a stressed consumer to either skip breakfast or choose to eat breakfast at home,” McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said on the company’s earnings call in late July. “And we, as well as the rest of the industry, are seeing that the breakfast daypart is absolutely the weakest daypart in the day.”

McDonald’s morning visits accounted for 33.5% of its traffic in the first half of 2019 but fell to 29.9% in the first half of 2025, according to Placer.ai data. To try to drum up traffic, the chain has included breakfast items in its new Extra Value Meals, including a deal for a Sausage McMuffin with Egg with a hash brown and a small coffee for $5.

To reverse breakfast’s slide, fast-food chains are taking hints from their competition. After years of convenience stores looking to fast-food chains for ideas on how to grow prepared food sales, from installing ordering kiosks to new menu items, the dynamic has flipped.

″[Quick-service restaurants] are looking at late-night sales and early morning sales, and they are directly looking at convenience stores and saying, ‘What is working? How can we bring that to our stores?’” National Association of Convenience Stores spokesperson Jeff Lenard told CNBC.

Prepared foods have offered a lifeline for convenience stores as demand for gasoline, tobacco and lottery tickets has fallen over time. The industry’s overall foodservice sales reached $121 billion in 2024, according to data from the NACS.

Most customers visit the gas pump during the morning and evening rush hours, on their way to and from work, presenting the perfect opportunity for c-stores to sell them breakfast or dinner. This year, 72% of consumers surveyed by InTouch Insight said they saw c-stores as a real alternative to fast-food chains, up from 56% a year ago and 45% two years ago.

Broadly, the c-stores that have focused on fresh food have been winning over more customers.

For example, Wawa has seen its customer base grow by 11.5% since 2022, while fast-food chains McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s have seen their combined customer base shrink 3.5% in the same time, according to data from Indagari, a transaction data analytics firm.

The majority of 1,170 respondents to an InTouch Insight survey for CNBC said that they have purchased made-to-order breakfast from a c-store in the morning in the past three months. Forty-eight percent of respondents said that when they choose breakfast from a convenience store, they are replacing a visit that they might otherwise make to a fast-food restaurant like McDonald’s or Dunkin’.

Buying coffee and breakfast from a c-store likely won’t be cheaper than making it at home. But consumers perceive it as “good bang for their buck,” according to Sarah Beckett, vice president of sales and marketing for InTouch Insight.

Plus, c-store customers get a wider breadth of options. In addition to coffee, gas stations sell energy drinks, protein shakes and yogurt smoothies. And customers can pick up a granola bar or banana to accompany their breakfast sandwich. Fast-food chains lack that kind of variety.

But above all, what matters to consumers is the food itself.

“While [a] convenience store broadly does have some tailwind from being a lower price point, the ultimate differentiator, and what’s really going to set apart the winners from losers, is that quality aspect of it,” Circana’s Portalatin said.

Brady Caviness, a 33-year-old account executive at Bailiwick who lives in Minneapolis, told CNBC that he indulges in a breakfast pizza from Casey’s General Store when he’s traveling. If he’s back home, where there isn’t a Casey’s nearby, he’ll stop by McDonald’s, Dunkin’ or Starbucks if he’s in the mood to buy his breakfast.

The Iowa-based chain is the country’s third-largest c-store chain and claims to be the fifth-largest pizza concept based on its number of locations. Casey’s reported same-store sales growth of 5.6% for its prepared food and dispensed beverages for the three months ended July 31.

Like Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza, Casey’s breakfast pizza, topped with cheese, scrambled eggs and a choice of bacon, sausage or vegetables, has grown a cult following since its launch in 2001.

“I think Casey’s is kind of a unique thing,” Caviness said. “My whole life, I’ve had the Egg McMuffins.”

When President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, it took more than a decade before Americans saw the infamous Zapruder film.

Today, the killing of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk can be replayed in dozens of high-definition clips across social media, reshaping how the nation confronts political violence in real time.

‘You’ll never have an assassination again that we don’t have footage of,’ presidential historian and former Secretary of Health and Human Services under the Bush administration, Tevi Troy, told Fox News Digital. 

‘I have an image in my head of what Lincoln’s assassination might have looked like, but every assassination since the Kennedy era, or even assassination attempts, there’s generally going to be footage about it now, and that’s just a very difficult thing,’ he said.

The Zapruder footage of Kennedy’s assassination remained largely unseen by the public until 1975, when it aired on national television more than a decade after his death. Its grainy frames shocked viewers. Americans, at the time, were ‘much more dependent on what the caretakers of the culture would put on TV,’ Troy said, and if a broadcast was missed, there was often no second chance to see it. 

Troy added, ‘The gatekeepers controlled what you saw.’

In the minutes after Kirk was shot in the neck on his ‘American Comeback Tour’ at the Utah Valley University on Wednesday, graphic video clips captured by bystanders using phones flooded social platforms like X, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. 

Traditional outlets held back from airing the moment of impact, but social media users shared multiple angles—including real-time replays and slowed-down segments—many without content warnings or editing.

‘Desensitizing is the right word… It’s not good for you,’ Troy said when asked what the impact of such high-speed graphic footage could do to the public. 

‘It’s not good for your soul. It’s not a question of not being available — it is available. Then you have to make an effort not to see it,’ he said.

Troy noted that in the immediate aftermath of Kirk’s killing, some voices on the left appeared to rationalize or downplay the violence, while others rushed to frame the suspect’s background in ways that minimized political fallout for their side. He called the reaction ‘a ghoulish exercise.’

‘There’s a horrible tragedy where this person who just wants to have political conversations was murdered with three young kids,’ Troy said. ‘But this is where we are today. If there is political violence, they want to make sure it’s framed in such a way that it doesn’t bring their side down.’

Turning Point Founder and commentator, Kirk, 31, was killed on Wednesday by suspected shooter Tyler Robinson while answering a question at Utah Valley University. He leaves behind his wife and two children, ages one and three.

After the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk sent shockwaves through the political landscape this week, Fox News Digital spoke to several high-profile conservative speakers about the future of the movement and the influence Kirk’s legacy and style will have on it. 

‘Conservatives will not be silenced,’ Heather Mac Donald, Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal, told Fox News Digital, adding that Kirk ‘would not have been silenced’ so conservatives should ’emulate his courage.’

Columnist and commentator Bethany Mandel told Fox News Digital that Kirk’s assassination was ‘absolutely an effort to try to silence conservatives’ and that ‘we have to resist the temptation to allow that.’

‘We need to keep speaking out and double down on not only Charlie’s message, but his methodology,’ Mandel said.

Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday while speaking to thousands of students at Utah Valley University when a gunman positioned on a nearby roof fired a single shot, striking Kirk in the neck.

Kirk was rushed to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, prompting an outpouring of support from conservatives across the globe, including President Trump who called the killing a ‘dark moment for America.’

On Friday, authorities announced that they had arrested a suspect, 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson.

‘Charlie Kirk was a good man,’ John Ashbrook, co-host of the conservative podcast Ruthless, told Fox News Digital. ‘And his legacy will endure because none of us will ever forget his leadership nor the voice he provided for millions of regular people across this country.’

Mac Donald told Fox News Digital that it is ‘hard to imagine’ Kirk was killed for ‘any other reason than that he was breaking the stranglehold of anti-Western ideology on college campuses and beyond.’

‘It was sadly fitting that he was killed at a college campus, and not even one known for its leftward leanings, since colleges are the seed bed of modern day speech suppression and the false equations that political contrarian speech = hate speech and that hate speech may be snuffed out—apparently by any means necessary,’ Mac Donald said. 

‘The killer apparently agreed with those would-be censorers.  The self-centeredness and historical and moral ignorance of coddled American students has bloomed into something more pernicious, as the beatification of Luigi Mangione already showed.’

Going forward, in terms of security at events for prominent conservative speakers, Mandel called on campuses and cities that ‘claim to care about the future of America and civil discourse’ to step up and ‘ensure adequate security.’

‘We should not have to pay tax in the form of security in order to safely share our political opinions,’ Mandel told Fox News Digital. 

Conservatives have rallied around Kirk’s style of speaking out publicly and exchanging ideas with those who disagree, including prominent influencer Ben Shapiro who wrote on X that ‘we will never stop debating and discussing.’

‘We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be,’ Shapiro said, adding that he intends to continue speaking at colleges across the country despite the inherent dangers. 

Mac Donald told Fox News Digital, ‘It is a cliché and self-serving to say: they fear us because we are winning, but presumably, there is less of a perceived need to efface someone who is losing a cause anyway. Kirk was feared because he was winning.’

The rifle that federal investigators believe was used in the shooting that killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk contained ammunition inscribed with anti-fascist messaging, shedding light on the suspect’s motive.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed the messaging at a news conference Friday, saying investigators discovered inscriptions on casings found with a bolt-action rifle near the Utah Valley University campus, where Kirk was killed during an event.

One used casing and three unused casings contained the writings, Cox said.

News of the ammunition inscriptions was first shared on social media Thursday morning in a preliminary bulletin attributed to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. 

According to the bulletin, circulated on X by political commentator Steven Crowder, federal officials recovered a .30-06 caliber Mauser rifle in the woods that contained ‘engravings,’ including messaging expressing anti-fascist ideology and other messages.

Fox News Digital confirmed the veracity of the ATF bulletin through talking to multiple sources, but the sources stressed on Thursday that the information was preliminary.

The information about the firearm surfaced nearly 24 hours after Kirk, 31, was shot and killed during a speaking engagement in Utah. Both his graphic death and the scant public information revealed in the early hours of the investigation into his killing left the nation reeling and revived heated debate about political violence in the U.S.

Law enforcement officials worked frantically in the aftermath of Kirk’s death to track down and arrest the gunman, who they announced Friday was Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah man.

Cox on Friday called the shooting a ‘political assassination.’

‘This is certainly about the tragic death, assassination, political assassination of Charlie Kirk, but it is also much bigger than an attack on an individual,’ Cox said. ‘It is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on the American experiment.’

FBI Director Kash Patel laid out the timeline of the investigation Friday, saying it took the FBI and Utah law enforcement 33 hours to make an arrest. Patel said authorities made ‘historic progress’ in such a short duration of time.

The FBI’s Salt Lake City Field Office released an image Thursday of a man they had said was a ‘person of interest’ in Kirk’s death and asked the public for help identifying him. The bureau also announced it was offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to his capture. Cox said a tip from a family friend of Robinson’s led to his arrest.
