[{"type":"text","content":"Carube Announces Exploration Program at the Mackenzie Copper ProjectToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2019) - Carube Copper Corp. (TSXV: CUC) is pleased to report that it has completed a mapping and sampling program on its 100% owned Mackenzie Copper Project in southwestern British Columbia (Figure 1). Previous work by Carube Copper and its predecessor Miocene Metals has identified three copper bearing trends (Figure 2) across the 125 square kilometre project area. This year's initial program of exploration focused on two of the areas, namely the Bornite Trend and the Breccia Trend prospects. A total 40 samples have been submitted for assay, which are pending.Highlights of Mapping and Sampling Programs Breccia TrendBroad zones of gossanous and silicified rock have been identified over a 1,200m by 600m area.Copper staining observed in multiple outcrops. Host rock is a breccia cut by sheeted and quartz stockwork veins.Bornite TrendBornite and chalcopyrite mineralization hosted by planar and quartz stockwork veins. Vein style mineralization defined along a 7.5-kilometer strike length.Figure 1: Carube Project LocationsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/2661/46937_c275a49d74dc38b2_001full.jpgMackenzie Copper ProjectThe Mackenzie property is located in southwestern British Columbia, approximately 100 kilometres west of Lillooet, the nearest population centre, railhead, source of high-tension power and major roads. Forest service access roads cross the northern and southern claim boundaries and link the property with the town of Gold Bridge, which is located about 40 kilometres to the east. The property consists of 12 mining claims covering 125 square kilometres.

The vein system has been mapped along strike for over 1.2-kilometres and remains open to the south and east. Stream sediment samples collected in the area confirm anomalous copper val...
