C3 Metals (CCCM) has expanded the Arthurs Seat, Jamaica, epithermal gold-copper vein swarm discovery by an additional 1.5 km.

The high-density, low-intermediate sulphidation epithermal veins have now been mapped and sampled across a 4.5 km by 2.0 km area. This expansion increases the copper-gold-silver mineralized footprint at Arthurs Seat to an area of 8.0 km by 4.0 km.

A second batch of rock chip samples from the vein swarm assayed up to 14.4 g/t Au, 245 g/t Ag and 11.1% Cu. The swarm of north-south and east-west trending quartz vein and quartz-rich breccias have been mapped proximal to the regionally significant Crawle River-Rio Minho Fault District (“CRF District”), along an emerging fertile belt for porphyry copper-gold and epithermal copper-gold-silver deposits.

Arthurs Seat exploration highlights:

Dan Symons, President and CEO, sat down with Sabrina Cuthbert to discuss the discovery.

“The Arthurs Seat discovery has now been expanded to an 8.0 km by 4.0 km area, which demonstrates the potential scale of this copper-gold-silver system. Given the sheer size of the CRF District, we believe that this mineralized zone has the potential to continue to expand even further. Within this anomaly, the outcropping, high-density epithermal vein swarm has now been mapped and sampled over a 4.5 km by 2.0 km area. Rock chip assays have returned multiple high-grade results (+14 g/t Au and 5% Cu) from locations 1.5 km apart. We now have eight geologists in the field mapping and sampling to advance this significant target area in advance of drill targeting.”

An extensive mapping and sampling program is currently underway. Over 1,000 rock chips have been sent to Actlabs for analysis. A drill permit application has been submitted for Arthurs Seat, and C3 Metals intends to immediately drill test the epithermal vein swarm once permits are received.

C3 Metals Inc. is a junior minerals exploration company focused on the discovery and development of large copper and gold deposits.
