[{"type":"text","content":"C3 Metals Extends Copper-Gold Porphyry Mineralization 150m at Provost at Bellas Gate, Jamaica; Drill Hole Ended in 1.1m at 1.27% Copper and 4,090 g/t SilverToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 11, 2023) - C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) (\"C3 Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has received assays for PVT0900-003, the third hole of the 2023 drilling program completed on the Provost porphyry target. The Company is evaluating an extensive zone of near surface porphyry and epithermal base and precious metal mineralization at Provost. Provost is located along a 4km northwest trend at the Company's 100% owned Bellas Gate project in Jamaica (Figure 1). Provost drill hole PVT0900-003 (418.6m), which was terminated 150m short of target depth due to drilling difficulties in a fault zone, intersected 112m at 0.35% copper and 0.13 g/t gold (0.44% CuEq1) from 305.8m with the last 1.1m of the hole ending in high-grade epithermal style mineralization grading 1.27% copper and 4,090 g/t silver. This hole extended known copper-gold mineralization at Provost by 150m to the northwest.Drilling HighlightsPVT0900-003 intersected 112m at 0.35% copper and 0.13 g/t gold (0.44% CuEq1) from 305.8m and terminated in an epithermal vein in the last 1.1m of the hole grading 1.27% copper and 4,090 g/t silver. Porphyry copper-gold mineralized zone extended by 150m along strike from PVT0900-002, which intersected 390.7m at 0.37% copper and 0.19 g/t gold (0.50% CuEq1) from 64.1m, including 279.5m at 0.43% copper and 0.24 g/t gold (0.60% CuEq1).Assays pending for completed drill holes PVT0900-004 (300.2m) and CMH8275-001 (500.4m).Drilling is well advanced on two additional holes.Dan Symons, President and CEO, stated, \"The importance of PVT0900-003 expanding copper-gold mineralization 150m to the northwest and ending in a high-grade epithermal copper-silver vein cannot be overstated. The intersection of metal rich intermediate-high sulphidation epithermal veins overprinting porphyry mineralization demonstrates the presence of a multi-phase system with potential for both bulk tonnage copper-gold and high grade precious and base metal vein deposits. Whilst two recent holes failed to achieve target depth due to drilling difficulties in fault zones, we are very excited by the assay results and drill core returned to date. With the ...
