(TSXV: CUC) is pleased to release the results and management's interpretation of the 2016 geochemical soil sampling program on its Main Ridge Licence in central Jamaica.HighlightsIn-fill soil sampling has confirmed and defined numerous elongated soil anomalies within the 2100m by 800m Bennett Gold Zone. The linear anomalies, whose combined length totals approximately 4000m, are generally parallel and appear to be tracing gold-bearing veins or stock works.A large, greater than 1.7 sq. km, irregular-shaped copper in soil anomaly has been outlined in a separate area at Orange Hill. It is a copper prospect marked by an intense magnetic response and gravity highs, suggestive of large porphyry or IOCG-type porphyry systems.Jeff Ackert, President and CEO of Carube Copper, commented: \"The results of the soil sampling west of the former Pennants Gold Mine on our Main Ridge License indicates that the high grade gold extends for a strike length of over 2km. We are also excited with the discovery of the new large copper in soil anomaly at Orange Hill that infers the presence of large subsurface porphyry-style mineralized bodies. We are keen to move forward with drilling once we have fine-tuned the orientation of the drill targets with some ground geophysics.\"Figure 1: Gold in Soil Along Bennett Gold ZoneCannot view Figure 1?

BHP-Utah's and Carube Copper's sampling clearly outline parallel, predominantly E-W, elongated anomalies (Figure 1). Contoured patterns of values in excess of 12 ppb Au, commonly greater than 30 ppb Au and up to 610 ppb Au define parallel anomalies, in one case over an unbroken distance of 1100m. In some instances, highly anomalous nodes in Au up to 100m long are present in areas of suspected intersecting mineralization.The anomalies are interpreted as being the surface trace of steeply dipping epithermal quartz-ca...
