(TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) (\"C3 Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to advise that concurrently with drilling at its flagship Jasperoide project in Peru, the Company has secured a rig to undertake a 5,000 metre core drilling program in Jamaica to test several compelling high priority copper-gold porphyry targets. The rig is currently on route to Kingston, Jamaica and drilling is expected to commence in late April.C3 Metals holds a 100% interest in three licenses which cover an overlooked and under explored porphyry/epithermal copper-gold belt in Jamaica. The area was the focus of historical mining by the Spanish and British and modern exploration activity included work by BHP and Oz Minerals. Highlights:5,000m of drilling, initially targeting a porphyry cluster at the Bellas Gate ProjectOver 20 porphyry and epithermal prospects identified within an 8 km2 area Proven porphyry terrain; historical, shallow copper-gold intercepts at several prospects include:Connors 114.0m @ 0.69% Cu, 0.52g/t Au in CON-14-004 (from 28.0m) 1Camel Hill 137.2m @ 0.56% Cu, 0.25g/t Au in CAM92-01 (from surface) 1Geo Hill 158.2m @ 0.32% Cu, 0.16g/t Au in CAM92-01 (from 3.0m) 1Provost 291.0m @ 0.30% Cu, 0.14g/t Au in PVT-16-002 (from 29m) 1Hendley 259.0m @ 0.23% Cu, 0.07g/t Au in HEN-15-003 (from 59m) 1Multiple holes were terminated in strong porphyry copper-gold mineralizationNew undrilled porphyry targets also defined by co-incident geophysical and geochemical anomalies at the Epidote Ridge, Coffee and White Rock Ridge prospectsHigh-grade sub-cropping copper-gold veins have not been tested for strike or depth continuityKevin Tomlinson, President & CEO of C3 Metals, commented, \"C3 Metals is very fortunate to hold a significant land package over high potential copper-gold belts in Peru and Jamaica. Drilling of our flagship Jasperoide property in Peru continues to define a near surface high-grade oxide copper-gold skarn and we are exploring this extensive alteration system for stacked high-grade skarns and their causative porphyries. \"Concurrently, our team has been advancing our little known, yet highly-prospective, Jamaican copper-gold targets. The most recent drilling in Jamaica was undertaken from 2015...
