[{"type":"text","content":"C3 Metals Discovers Large-Scale Epithermal Gold-Copper Vein System at Arthurs Seat, JamaicaRock Chips Assayed up to 14.2 g/t Gold and 5.2% CopperToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 13, 2022) - C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) (\"C3 Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the discovery of a large-scale, intermediate sulfidation epithermal gold and copper vein swarm at the Company's 100% owned Arthurs Seat project. First rock chip assays from this discovery returned up to 14.2 g/t Au, 5.2% Cu and 53 g/t Ag. The Arthurs Seat project is in the highly prospective Crawle River-Rio Minho Fault Porphyry and Epithermal District (\"CRF District\") of Jamaica. An extensive area of epithermal veins and breccias (Figure 1) has been outlined on the Arthurs Seat project. Field mapping to date indicates quartz vein and breccia structures up to 25 metres in true width that have been discontinuously traced over two kilometres of strike. This newly discovered vein swarm is located approximately 500 metres southeast of the previously announced high-grade copper-silver mineralization (see assays up to 13.8% Cu and 492 g/t Ag in press release dated June 2, 2022). Exploration Highlights:Epithermal veins and breccias at the Crofts Hill target within Arthurs Seat:A true maiden discovery with no prior modern-day exploration - never drilled;A high density of intermediate sulfidation quartz vein and breccias over an area of 3 km x 2 km;Rock chip assays up to 14.2 g/t Au, 5.2% Cu, and 53 g/t Ag;Over 30% of the initial 137 rock chips collected assayed highly anomalous gold values; andSheeted quartz vein and breccia zones up to 25m true width.Copper-Silver Zone at the Brandon Hill target within Arthurs Seat:Exploration limited to selective surface sampling in the 1960s - never drilled;Recently completed ridge and spur soils confirm a 2.5 km x 1.2 km copper in soil anomaly; andDiscovery of amygdaloidal basalts flooded with secondary copper.Dan Symons, President & CEO, stated, \"We believe that the CRF District is a completely untapped district scale play of which C3 Metals holds 20,700 hectares. True greenfields discoveries in this day and age are very rare. We now have two highly prospective targets to evaluate within our Arthurs Seat project. We believe the underexplored nature of our Jamaican projects and the 25 km strike p...
