C3 Metals (TSXV:CCCM) delivered significant gold results from ongoing soil and channel sampling at its 50-per-cent owned Super Block project in Jamaica.
Samples from Q4 2024 confirm strong gold geochemistry along an over 5-kilometre trend similar to the Pennants gold mine, an open pit that yielded about 16,000 gold ounces between 2002 and 2004, according to Jamaica Mines and Geology Division, and reported a non-compliant NI 43-101 historical mineral resource of 75,500 tons at 20.4 grams per ton (g/t) of gold.
Super Block highlights include gold-in-soil assays of 60 m averaging 0.41 g/t gold and 103 m averaging 0.20 g/t gold, with the trend remaining open along strike. C3 Metals will further explore the trend with a 2,500-metre drilling program in late Q1 or early Q2 2025 focused on unlocking the potent for multiple low-to-intermediate sulfidation systems. The company is also applying for additional drill permits at key targets for trend extensions.
C3 Metals operates Super Block under a joint venture with Geophysx Jamaica, the largest mineral tenure holder in Jamaica. The 9,870-hectare project is surrounded by mineral concessions where Barrick Gold has the option to earn 80-per-cent joint-venture interest with Geophysx.
Leadership insights
“Recent geochemical sampling across the Super Block project identified highly anomalous gold geochemistry over a +5 kilometre strike to the northwest and southeast of the former, high-grade Pennants gold mine,” Dan Symons, C3 Metals’ president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. “For reference, any gold-in-soil sample that returns at or above 0.04 g/t gold or higher is considered anomalous. Tightly spaced soil lines identified multiple zones of anomalous gold geochemistry. The best lines averaged 0.41 g/t gold over 60 metres and 0.20 g/t gold over 103 metres. The soil results are consistent with the gold-in-soil geochemistry over the former, high-grade Pennants mine, which reported a historical resource at 20.4 g/t gold. We are now finalizing the design of a diamond drill program to systematically test the highly anomalous gold zones.”
