Prisma Exploration Inc ( (TSE:GFT) ) has provided an announcement.

Grafton Resources has entered into a definitive option agreement to acquire 100% of the Alicahue Copper-Gold Project in Chile’s Valparaiso Region, a 3,500-hectare concession package located within a prolific metallogenic belt that hosts some of the country’s largest porphyry deposits. The five-year option requires US$4 million in exploration spending over four years and a US$3 million exercise payment, with the vendor retaining a 2% NSR royalty and additional resource-linked payments, while Grafton has also issued shares to the vendor and a finder as part of the deal. Management frames this acquisition as the cornerstone of a high-value Chilean copper and gold portfolio, highlighting Alicahue’s geological potential for a classic porphyry deposit and the planned mapping, sampling and airborne geophysical work in early 2026 as key steps to unlock value and enhance the company’s leverage to the current metals cycle.
