Carube Copper: Initial Drilling Begins at Above Rocks

Carube Copper reported that its joint venture partner OZ Minerals has commenced activities to begin initial drilling at the Above Rocks joint venture in Jamaica.
As quoted in the press release:

The ARJV has identified five high priority target areas that will be the focus of initial exploration by the joint venture. These include Jobs Hill and Sue River where porphyry style mineralization has been noted. For more details, see Carube Copper’s Press Release dated February 26, 2016. Three drill holes, totaling 450m are planned at Jobs Hill and Sue River. Drilling at the three other high-priority targets areas will be determined after more ground work is completed.
The Jobs Hill Prospect has extensive copper oxide showings and numerous exposures of malachite with good gold credits. The target, hosted in a northeast trending structural zone, is at least 600m long and 45m wide and is open to the southwest. Several local occurrences suggest that bornite is a significant component of the primary mineralization.

Carube Copper president and CEO Jeff Ackert said:

With this drill rig being deployed at Above Rocks and a second drill rig currently working at the Bellas Gate Joint Venture, Carube Copper will have a steady stream of news out of Jamaica in the coming months.We are excited to get the drill turning at Above Rocks, where our highly prospective priority areas have yet to be explored usingmodern exploration techniques.
