[{"type":"text","content":"C3 Metals Outlines 1,900 Metre by up to 650 Metre High-Grade Copper in Soil Anomaly at Khaleesi Copper-Gold Project, PeruToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 19, 2025) - C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) (\"C3 Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results of a highly successful grid-based soil sampling campaign over the Khaleesi Copper-Gold project area in Southern Peru. Previous mapping and rock sampling identified an alteration footprint spanning 1,500m by 1,000m. Within this alteration footprint, skarn-, porphyry- and epithermal-style copper-gold mineralization has been identified (see press release dated January 8, 2025). Grid soils have now defined a significant copper-molybdenum anomaly, which extends for over 1,900m and is locally up to 650 meters wide with two zones averaging 950ppm copper and 650ppm copper (Figure 1). For reference, copper in soils at or above 300ppm is considered anomalous. Figure 1: Khaleesi map showing three well defined zones of pervasive copper-in-soil geochemistry.

These results support our interpretation of a potential large-scale, porphyry, skarn and epithermal system at Khaleesi. We are rapidly advancing geophysical surveys so that we have all required data in hand prior to a maiden diamond drill program. We anticipate the geophysical surveys and subsequent modeling will be completed by the end of March 2025. This will allow us to get a subsurface view - importantly, what is happening beneath an area of glacial till. On either side of the till occurrence, soil samples have returned spectacularly high copper-in-soil results over very large areas. Based on preliminary geophysical data coming back in real time, it appears there is a large anomaly under the glacial till zone. Khaleesi is shaping up to be a very exciting target that has never been drill tested within a well-known, world-class copper producing belt.\"Highlights of the Khaleesi Exploration ProgramCompl...
