C3 Metals (CCCM) is pleased to provide an update on its drilling programs at the Montaña de Cobre and Cresta Verde zones.
Both zones are located at the Jasperoide skarn/porphyry project in southern Peru.
Stephen Hughes, VP of Exploration at C3 Metals sat down with Dave Jackson to highlight the results.
Kevin Tomlinson, President & CEO of C3 Metals commented on the results.
“As we continue to delineate the high-grade copper-gold oxide skarn deposit at the Montaña de Cobre Zone, the company is also pleased to report highly encouraging initial sulphide drilling results from the Cresta Verde Zone. Our drilling continues to identify vectors that support our interpretation that a porphyry is the driving force for the extensive hydrothermal Cu-Au system at Jasperoide, which include mineralized fragments of the suspected causative intrusion, coarse molybdenite in massive and semi-massive sulphides and high-sulfidation feeder structures.
We have confirmed that Jasperoide is a multi-kilometre scale mineralized system with at least two prospective skarn horizons. The extensive copper mineralization at Jasperoide is developed immediately adjacent to the intersection of two major regional faults that are interpreted to transect Hudbay’s Constancia mine, 35km to the southeast and the Las Bambas Mine 40km to the west.
The delineation of primary sulphide mineralization at the Cresta Verde zone associated with important regional controls to two large copper deposits in the district bodes well for the ongoing program we have underway at Jasperoide.”
A total of 38 drill holes have been completed to date for 10,393m with drilling now progressing on line JAS2500 at the Montaña de Cobre zone.
Drilling continues to expand high-grade copper-gold oxide mineralization that is hosted in a shallow dipping skarn body at the Montaña de Cobre zone.
C3 Metals Inc. is a junior minerals exploration company focused on creating value for its shareholders through the discovery and development of large copper and gold deposits. The company’s flagship project is the 57km2 Jasperoide high-grade copper-gold skarn and porphyry system located in the prolific Andahuaylas-Yauri Porphyry-Skarn belt of Southern Peru.
