SIDEX Invests in Carube Copper

Carube Copper Corp. (TSXV:CUC) announced today that it will initiate an exploration program to advance its Fiedmont Platinum-Palladium Project (Fiedmont) in Quebec with funds provided through an equity placement with SIDEX, Limited Partnership (SIDEX), a Quebec fund that invests in prospective early stage exploration projects under its Field Action 2017 program.

The $100,000 private placement in Carube Copper by SIDEX consists of 1,250,000 units @$0.08 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the company and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at a price of $0.13 for a period of two years from the closing date. SIDEX will have the right for a period of 18 months to invest in any future financings in order to maintain its proportional interest in Carube.
The proceeds are to be used exclusively for the continuing exploration of the Fiedmont Platinum Palladium Project, which consists of 54 claims covering 23 square kilometres, accessible via paved roads, 30 kilometres from Val d’Or, a major mining and service centre.
The Fiedmont Project:
Exploration at has identified three large differentiated intrusions where prospecting trenching and drilling has identified palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) zones in association with nickel (Ni) plus numerous other potential Pd + Pt prospective areas with humus sampling at Fiedmont. The nature of the Platinum group elements (PGE) mineralization and its potential size is similar to Canada’s only successful primary PGE mine, the Lac des Iles mining complex in northwestern Ontario. The property also has lithium potential with mapped pegmatites and Li-Bi-Be-Mo metal associations similar to the Pressiac mine, located some km northwest of Fiedmont. The present program will focus on identifying the nature of the Pd, Pt and Li mineralization and the lithological and structural relationships of this mineralization.
