[{"type":"text","content":"Carube Expands Gold in Soil Anomaly at Main RidgeToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 22, 2018) - Carube Copper Corp. (TSXV: CUC) is pleased to report positive results from its ongoing surface exploration program at the Company's 100% owned Main Ridge Project (\"MR\") in Jamaica. Assay results have been received from the soil sampling over the eastern area of MR, which has extended the gold soil anomaly further east. A grid-based soil sampling program has extended the strike length of the coherent zone of strong gold in soils to 5,500 meters and is coincident and parallel to the trend of the Bennet Gold Zone (\"BGZ\").Highlights of recent exploration activities: Two strongly anomalous gold in soil zones identified at eastern Main RidgeUp to 2110ppb gold in soils at John Austin prospectUp to 1140ppb gold in soils at Guava Ridge prospectMr. Stephen Hughes, CEO, commented: \"Sampling east of the Former Pennants Mine has confirmed more than 5.5km of anomalous gold in soils at Main Ridge Project area. Our detailed mapping and rock sampling west of the former Pennants Mine shows gold mineralization associated with quartz, carbonate and adularia veining that is controlled by two structural trends. We will now endeavour to confirm the style and controls of the gold mineralization at eastern MR area, as the exploration development of this project continues.\"To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/2661/41206_a3f5cb59746de989_001full.jpgFigure 1: Main Ridge Project area, showing color plot of gold in soil geochemistry  (Note - Pennants gold mine does not occur within Carube's Main Ridge SEPL)EXPLORATION RESULTSGrid soil sampling completed at eastern MR, carried out at 100 metre spacings over an area measuring 1500 meters by 1900 meters, for a total 326 samples. Soil lines are oriented in a north-south pattern due to the prominent northwest - southeast and northeast - southwest oriented structures that appear to control gold mineralization at MR. Assays were completed by ALS Canada Ltd, multi-element analysis done by 35-element aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES analysis using a 50-gram subsample, and gold was analyzed for by Fire Assay - Atomic Absorption using a 30-gram split. With respect to rock chip sampling, to date a total 468 samples have been collected and assaye...
