C3 Metals Discovers High Grade Copper - Silver at Arthurs Seat, Jamaica

C3 Metals Discovers High Grade Copper - Silver at Arthurs Seat, Jamaica

C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) ("C3 Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to report surface reconnaissance results from mapping and sampling at the Arthurs Seat Project in Jamaica (Figure 1). Arthurs Seat is one of four Jamaican projects owned 100% by the Company and is located adjacent to the Company's Bellas Gate property where the Company has commenced a 5,000 metre drill program.

Exploration to date at Arthurs Seat has defined a 6.75 km2 prospective area of copper mineralized veins and breccias interpreted to represent the upper part of an underlying porphyry system. Magnetics, mapping and detailed prospecting are continuing.

Exploration Highlights:

  • Assays up to 13.8% copper and 492g/t silver; 11 rock samples >4% Copper
  • 55 copper mineralized samples collected over 4.5km by 1.5km
  • Multiple zones of primary and secondary copper mineralization highlights significant potential for a high-grade, intermediate high-sulphidation epithermal copper deposit

Kevin Tomlinson, President and CEO of C3 Metals commented;

"Additional to our drill program in progress at Jasperoide in Peru, we have commenced drilling the highly compelling Epidote Ridge copper-gold porphyry target within the Bellas Gate SEPL, Jamaica. Separately, our small exploration team in Jamaica is also prospecting and sampling a number of tenements that have not been explored for over 40 years. The discovery of widespread copper mineralization including some exceptional high-grade samples at Arthurs Seat is a testament to the prospectivity of our Jamaica tenement package. As the drill program at Bellas Gate progresses, we will continue surface exploration at Arthurs Seat and other high potential prospects. We look forward to providing further updates as results are received."

Exploration Background and Update

The Arthurs Seat Special Exclusive Prospecting License ("SEPL") is situated directly over the regionally significant Crawl River Fault Zone and associated splays, a major structure controlling copper-gold mineralization in Jamaica. Mining was undertaken by the Spanish in the 16th Century and the British in the 19th Century. No modern-day exploration has been carried out within the Arthurs Seat SEPL since a reconnaissance program was conducted by Noranda Inc. in the mid 1960's. A stream/heavy mineral sampling program funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) was completed in the 1980's.

Arthurs Seat is contiguous to our highly prospective Bellas Gate SEPL, where at least 12 porphyry prospects have been confirmed along Porphyry Alley and where the Company has commenced a 5,000-metre diamond drilling program to test a number of compelling copper-gold targets (see press release dated May 27, 2022).

The Company recently completed geological mapping and prospecting over a 10 km2 area in the eastern part of Arthurs Seat. A total of 103 rock samples were collected from mineralized intermediate sulfidation style epithermal quartz veins and breccias that cross-cut andesitic volcanic-volcaniclastic rocks and Cretaceous aged limestones of the Arthurs Seat Formation. Copper mineralization comprises primary bornite, tennantite-tetrahedrite and associated secondary copper species including native copper (Figure 2). Of the 103 samples collected, 55 assayed greater than 0.15% copper with numerous samples of both outcrop and float reporting high grades up to 13.8% copper and 492g/t silver (Figure 3, Table 1).

World Copper Identifies New Opportunity at Zonia Copper Project in Arizona

World Copper Identifies New Opportunity at Zonia Copper Project in Arizona

World Copper Ltd. (TSXV: WCU) (OTCQB: WCUFF) (FSE: 7LY0)  ("World Copper" or the "Company") provides an update on its Zonia copper-oxide project in Arizona, USA ("Zonia" or the Zonia Project").

A review of historical data by World Copper's newly formed Technical Advisory Committee has revealed the potential for re-processing mineralized material that was included in the historical mine plan at the Zonia Project. This material, located on heap leach pads from historical production on private patented land, and last processed in the mid-1970s, was treated with acid to recover soluble copper. Two historical reports, a 1979 mine production summary report by McAlester Fuel Company ("McAlester") and a 1982 resource evaluation report by Mountain States Research & Development ("MSRD"), indicate that the site hosts over 14 million tons of historically mined material available for re-processing:
