C3 Metals continues to define copper resource at Khaleesi project with latest drill results

C3 Metals Inc (TSX-V:CCCM, OTC:CUAUF) has announced caller drilling results from its Khaleesi copper task successful confederate Peru, including a 148-metre interval of copper mineralization astatine extent and higher-grade zones person to surface.

The institution said drill spread KHZ5825-003 intersected 148.05 metres grading 0.42% copper equivalent (0.34% copper) from astir 275 metres downhole wrong magnetite-skarn mineralization. This interval included a 114.05-metre conception grading 0.48% copper equivalent.

In a abstracted hole, KHZ5790-001 returned 43.8 metres grading 0.59% copper equivalent from astir 40 metres depth. Within that zone, 2 higher-grade intervals were identified: 3.8 metres grading 1.80% copper equivalent and 1.4 metres grading 5.56% copper equivalent.

According to the company, 8 of the 11 recently reported drill holes intersected elevated copper mineralization. The mineralization is chiefly hosted successful magnetite and garnet-diopside skarns, with further occurrences successful a multiphase intrusive complex.

Exploration astatine Khaleesi is focused connected a interaction portion betwixt limestone and the Andahuaylas-Yauri batholith, which extends crossed the property. The institution said drilling is helping specify a curved, north-trending magnetite skarn assemblage that remains unfastened astatine extent and to the north, and whitethorn beryllium offset to the south.

C3 Metals noted that astatine slightest six intrusive stone types person been identified to date. Based connected earlier geochronology work, these intrusions are interpreted to predate the main mineralizing lawsuit and whitethorn person acted arsenic pathways for mineralizing fluids.

A cardinal nonsubjective of the existent drill programme is to place a “causative intrusion” linked to mineralization dated astatine astir 35.8 cardinal years.

The institution described the strategy arsenic geologically complex, citing the multiphase intrusions, irregular interaction zones, and constricted aboveground vulnerability owed to glacial cover.

“The archetypal signifier 12-hole, 6,300m programme was designed to trial a 1,000m by 500m country to a vertical extent of astir 400m. The extremity was to corroborate a hydrothermal strategy of scale,” C3 Metals CEO Dan Symons said successful a statement.

“With copper mineralization intersected successful each of the archetypal 12 holes drilled astatine Khaleesi, we presumption the archetypal signifier programme for this greenfield task arsenic highly successful.”

Drilling is ongoing, with astir 11,000 metres completed crossed 24 holes and 2 further holes presently successful progress. Assay results person present been reported for 17 holes, with further results expected. The institution is besides considering further geophysical surveys, including drone magnetics, 3D induced polarization, and gravity surveys, to assistance specify imaginable extensions of mineralization.
