(TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) (\"C3 Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from its initial scout drilling program at the Company's 100% owned Arthurs Seat Project in Jamaica. The Arthurs Seat Project is contiguous with C3 Metals' 100% owned Bellas Gate and Main Ridge Projects to the southeast and west, respectively (Figure 1). Ten scout holes tested extensive epithermal quartz breccias exposed north of the Crawle River-Rio Minho Fault Zone (\"CRFZ\"), a new and emerging porphyry - epithermal belt. There is no record of any previous drilling at the Arthurs Seat Project. Although first pass drilling did not intersect high-grade shoots that are common to these systems, broad zones of lower grade gold mineralization with small intervals of high grade (0.60m at 7.63 g/t Au) have been confirmed within telescoped porphyry-style alteration and mineralization. Dan Symons, President and CEO, stated, \"This first pass scout drilling has provided us with a much better understanding of the district scale mineral system we are exploring between Bellas Gate and Arthurs Seat. The data collected at Arthurs Seat to date suggests that the extensive gold and copper mineralized epithermal vein system we discovered is sitting above multiple additional porphyry targets. This is supported by the presence of strong geophysical and geochemical anomalies overlapping with porphyry-style alteration in spectral mapping. Importantly, we have now encountered highly anomalous gold-copper-molybdenum in the first scout holes drilled in the history of this project area.\"When we step back and evaluate our Jamaican portfolio, we now have 16 porphyry and 40 epithermal targets over a 30km strike after only nine months of new data collection and interpretation of historical data. We intend to begin systematically drill testing the highest priority targets along what we believe is an emerging porphyry and epithermal belt.\" HighlightsEpithermal gold mineralization in quartz breccias is telescoped by porphyry mineralization.Coarse gold identified in drill hole ARS5850-002 assayed 7.63 g/t over 0.60 m (Figure 2).Spectrometer studies confirm...
