[{"type":"text","content":"C3 Metals Announces the Commencement of Drilling at Jasperoide Project, PeruToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 22, 2021) - C3 Metals Corp. (TSXV: CCCM) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at its flagship Jasperoide Copper-Gold Project in southern Peru. The rig is set up on the first drill platform at the Montaña de Cobre Zone. Highlights IncludePhase 1 programme comprising 3,500m in 15 holes has commenced drill testing a large-scale, copper-gold skarn-porphyry system developed over more than three kilometres of strike lengthHistoric drilling returned grades such as 185.2m at 1.00% Cu, 0.39g/t Au (JADD11-03) from 22.0m1 depth Initial drilling will also test an epithermal gold target at Callejón de Oro Zone where prior trenching and channel sampling returned high grades of 11m at 19.5g/t Au1     Phase 2 programme of 6,500m is designed to expand the Jasperoide skarn horizon footprint and test potential down dip skarn horizonsCOVID-19 protocols are in place to protect the community, our employees and contractorsMr. Kevin Tomlinson, CEO, commented, \"Having just completed a successful capital raising, C3 is now proceeding with drilling at Jasperoide, a great milestone for the Company. We are excited to be evaluating this underexplored skarn-porphyry system and associated epithermal veins. The initial Phase 1 campaign will allow us to gain a better understanding of the skarn mineralisation before embarking on the larger Phase 2 campaign.\"Phase 1 Drill Programme Jasperoide hosts multiple zones of skarn mineralisation, with three priority areas defined to date. The Montaña de Cobre Zone covering 1.5 x 1.0 km was partially tested approximately 10 years ago and will be drilled with sufficient hole density to expand and evaluate the continuity of near surface skarn hosted copper-gold mineralization. Historic drill intercepts of 185.2m at 1.00% Cu and 0.39g/t Au in JADD11-03 from 22.0m1 and 40.3m at 3.54% Cu and 0.33g/t Au in JADD11-10 from 70.0m1 are just two of several drill intercepts that demonstrate the potential of this zone. The rig is currently positioned on the first platform and drilling has commenced (Figure 1). At Montaña de Cobre, historic drill hole (H-10) also intersected a gold mineralized quartz vein with typical epithermal textures that re...
