[{"type":"text","content":"C3 Metals Commences Follow Up Drilling to Expand Porphyry Copper-Gold Mineralization at Bellas Gate, JamaicaToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 8, 2023) - C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) (\"C3 Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that two drill rigs have been mobilized to Jamaica to commence follow up drilling at the Company's highly prospective Bellas Gate copper-gold project in Jamaica. C3 Metals holds a 100% interest in the Bellas Gate, Arthurs Seat and Main Ridge licenses that cover an extensively mineralized porphyry/epithermal copper-gold district along the Crawle River-Rio Minho fault zone (\"CRFZ\") (Figure 1).BC Diamond Drilling (\"BCDD\") have been contracted for a minimum of 6,000 metres of diamond drilling using a drill rig with a depth capacity of greater than 1,000 metres, and C3 Metals has purchased a man-portable rig to drill an initial 2,500 metres testing near surface porphyry and epithermal prospects to a nominal vertical depth of approximately 400 metres. Dan Symons, President and CEO of C3 Metals commented, \"The average depth of all previous drilling is less than 225 metres, and over 40% of all drill holes ended in strong copper-gold mineralization. Airbourne magnetic and IP geophysics data indicate that multiple near-surface porphyries may converge at depth into a very large system. Based on historical drilling, our 2022 drill program and an extensive remapping campaign, we have identified multiple high-level copper-gold porphyries clustered along two discrete northwest trending belts at Bellas Gate. \"We are pleased to announce that two drill rigs have been mobilized to Jamaica: a large rig capable of testing the depth extent of our highest priority porphyry targets, and a Company-owned, man-portable rig that will cost effectively test the near surface strike extent of these porphyry and epithermal systems. The objective of this drilling program is to determine both the extent of the near surface porphyry copper-gold mineralization intersected to date and to test the deeper parts of these systems for a high-grade core. With 16 porphyry and 40 epithermal targets identified over a 30km strike extent, there is no shortage of drill-ready targets. With both rigs now mobilized to Jamaica, we are pleased to announce that the drill program is commencing.\" Program Highlights CRFZ ...
