C3 Metals Drills 32.4m at 3.75% Copper at Jasperoide Drilling on Deeper Targets Underway

C3 Metals Drills 32.4m at 3.75% Copper at Jasperoide Drilling on Deeper Targets Underway

C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) ("C3 Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its drilling programs at the Jasperoide copper-gold skarnporphyry project in southern Peru. Results received for five of the ten outstanding drill holes included some of the highest copper grades reported on the project to date.

High grade oxide copper-gold mineralization was intersected in two holes drilled to test the up dip and lateral continuity of the enrichment zone defined at eastern Montaña de Cobre Zone. Results include:

Hole JAS2700-09

  • 32.4m @ 3.75% Cu, 0.80 g/t Au from 84.0m

including 20.1m @ 5.83% Cu, 0.87 g/t Au from 96.3m

including 4.9m @ 16.5% Cu from 111.5m

Hole JAS2700-10

  • 15.1m @ 2.02% Cu and 0.37 g/t Au from 89.3m

Including 2.8m @ 10.29% Cu from 100.1m

The Company is also pleased to report that the recently arrived larger rig is currently drilling the first of several deeper holes targeting potential stacked skarns and underlying porphyry copper-gold deposits at the Montaña de Cobre Zone.

Kevin Tomlinson, President & CEO of C3 Metals commented,

"These most recent results from shallow drilling at the Montaña de Cobre Zone are impressive by any measure. To see such high copper grades over wide intervals so close to surface on the first of multiple targets to be evaluated, highlights the potential of the Jasperoide project. Our Phase 1 program successfully demonstrated that the copper-gold oxide mineralization has both the scale and grade to represent a potential stand-alone development opportunity. The Montaña de Cobre Zone remains open down dip to the west on some sections and further drilling will be required to fully define the mineralization in this area. The results of our current deeper drilling and surface work currently underway on several new targets will in part set priorities and timing for this additional drilling. Samples of the various types of mineralization present are currently being analysed and results will be used to evaluate mining and processing options for Montaña de Cobre."

Current Drilling

An initial 5,000 meters of drilling is in progress to assess the potential for stacked skarns and porphyries at deeper levels of the mineralized systems at the Montaña de Cobre and Cresta Verde Zones. Drill hole targeting is based in part on data collected from a Hybrid-CSAMT geophysical survey that identified two sub-vertical resistive features which are interpreted to be coincident with the district-scale Constancia and Benoni Faults. The Hybrid-CSAMT model indicates that feeder structures to the Montaña de Cobre Zone copper-gold mineralization are connected to a large resistive feature/body at depth, interpreted as a concealed porphyry. Figure 3 below shows the position of three planned drill holes relative to the Montaña de Cobre Zone deposit and airborne magnetic data.

Kevin Tomlinson, President & CEO of C3 Metals further commented,

"Jasperoide is located in a district of large scale mineralized systems where numerous major and mid-tier companies are actively mining, exploring and acquiring new ground. Our initial drilling has been limited to the permitted area inherited when the Project was acquired. Since acquisition, we have identified several outstanding additional targets, and applications to drill beyond the current permit boundaries are in process. Furthermore, the Company has been expanding its property footprint and an update on this activity will be provided in due course. We are in the early stages of exploration on an extensively mineralized system, in a highly prospective area surrounded by two of the world's largest copper deposits. The discovery process at Jasperoide, especially the deeper drilling now in progress, will continue to evolve in the coming months."

Montaña de Cobre Zone Drilling Details

Recent drilling at the Montaña de Cobre Zone continues to define a shallow dipping, oxide copper-gold domain that is laterally extensive for up to 650 metres and has a strike length of more than 450 metres. The mineralized skarn system at the Montaña de Cobre Zone remains open to the north, west and down-dip, with significant potential for stacked skarns and porphyry style mineralization at depth and along strike.

Assays for drill holes JAS2700-09, 10 and 11 intersected thick zones (50m to +100m) of skarn altered carbonate rocks of the Ferrobamba Formation with secondary copper species (chrysocolla, malachite, azurite) and locally primary sulphides (pyrite ± chalcopyrite). Drill hole JAS2700-09 successfully confirmed extensions to the bonaza grade copper mineralization intersected 60m to the west in JAS2700-07, which intersected 43.45m @ 2.21% Cu and 0.49 g/t Au from 85.85m and included 15.0m @ 5.44% Cu and 0.39 g/t Au from 113.5m (Press release dated September 8, 2021). Drill hole JAS2700-09 continued to define a well developed enrichment zone proximal to the marble front (Figure 4). JAS2700-09 returned 20.1m @ 5.83% Cu and 0.87 g/t Au from 96.3m including 4.9m @ 16.5% from 111.5m.

Two holes were completed at southern Montaña de Cobre Zone on section line JAS2500, collared 100m southeast of section line JAS2600. JAS2500-01 and 02 intersected narrow widths of strongly oxidized garnet-diopside and magnetite skarn that returned low grade copper-gold mineralization (Table 1). Exploration data for the Montaña de Cobre Zone is being evaluated in order to define targets for additional drilling.

Nine Mile samples up to 18.27% Cu at Wedge

NINE MILE METALS ANNOUNCES XRF HIGH-GRADE RESULTS UP TO 18.27% COPPER FROM THE UPCOMING DRILL AREA AT THE WEDGE PROJECT, BATHURST, NEW BRUNSWICK

Nine Mile Metals Ltd. has released XRF (X-ray fluorescence) results for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization grab samples collected from the coming drill area on the Wedge VMS project in the world-famous Bathurst mining camp (BMC) in New Brunswick, Canada. Discovered in 1956, Cominco operated the Wedge mine between 1962 and 1968, producing 1.5 million tonnes of predominantly copper ore. At the time of closure (head pillar collapsed), only the upper portion of the deposit was mined. The expectation is that the lower 60 per cent plus remains untouched based upon recent drill testing and extends at depth with the 3-D modelling.
