[{"type":"text","content":"C3 Metals Jamaica Copper-Gold Exploration Update and Discovery TargetsToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 28, 2024) - C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) (\"C3 Metals\" or the \"Company\") wishes to provide an update on its copper-gold exploration program in Jamaica and communicate its exploration objectives. The Company is currently systematically evaluating a district-scale property where 16 porphyry, 40 epithermal, and multiple volcanic redbed copper prospects have been identified over 30km of strike extent (Figure 1).Figure 1: C3 Metals' Bellas Gate, Arthurs Seat and recently announced Super Block Project areas in Jamaica (see press release dated March 1, 2024) detailing porphyry, epithermal and volcanic redbed prospects across a 30km strike extent.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2661/203284_bcc0a91304d3db73_001full.jpgExploration ObjectivesC3 Metals is focused on the discovery of at least one million tonnes of contained copper equivalent1 on its district-scale mineral concession package in Jamaica. Across the Bellas Gate and Arthurs Seat properties surface exploration has delineated approximately 18km of continuous copper in soil geochemistry assaying over 300ppm copper together with over 800 rock chip samples assaying above 0.50% copper (Figure 2). Numerous mineralization styles (porphyry, epithermal, volcanic redbed) are evident across numerous prospects.C3 Metals is systematically testing these prospects as quickly and efficiently as possible to determine the probability of an individual prospect meeting the one million tonnes of contained copper equivalent1 criteria. Examples of target size/grade criteria include:200Mt at 0.5% CuEq1 (open pit target)100Mt at 1.0% CuEq1 (open pit or underground target)50Mt at 2.0% CuEq1 (open pit or underground target)The Company has confirmed multiple mineralization styles (porphyry, epithermal and volcanic redbed) with exploration targets that potentially meet the tonnage and grade criteria. Systematic exploration will confirm whether each individual prospect meets or fails to meet the defined criteria.
