[{"type":"text","content":"Large Induced Polarization Geophysical Survey Begins at Carube Copper's Bellas Gate Joint VentureOTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 10, 2016 / Carube Copper Corp. (TSXV: CUC) is pleased to announce that its joint venture partner OZ Minerals Limited has initiated an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey over a large area with known copper-gold porphyry mineralization at the Bellas Gate Joint Venture (BGJV) in Jamaica. The ground-based geophysics survey along with the current ongoing diamond drilling program, are part of the BGJV's Phase Five program, which includes all work to the completion of a feasibility study. OZ Minerals will earn an additional 10% interest in the Joint Venture by sole funding Phase Five.Jeff Ackert, President and CEO of Carube Copper noted: This IP program will enable the Joint Venture to prioritize the plethora of copper and gold rich areas located in the Bellas Gate Joint Venture. The program should also assist in identifying undiscovered, sub-surface mineralized zones. We have seen IP used to great effect in Cretaceous terrain in other Caribbean countries and believe that it will be very successful in locating significant porphyry mineralization in Jamaica.\nImage: https://www.accesswire.com/uploads/20522_carube1.jpg\nFigure 1: Bellas Gate Joint Venture IP Geophysical Survey Area \nTo view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:\nhttps://www.accesswire.com/uploads/20522_carube1enhanced.jpg\nThe Dipole-Dipole IP survey will be performed by Zonge International Geophysics of Tucson, Arizona. The survey will consist of 7 parallel lines of an average length of 6.5 kilometres for a total of 46 line kilometres. The lines will be 500m apart and will cover an area of over 30 square kilometres, including the North and South Alteration zones and intervening area (see Figure 1). The first line to be surveyed will traverse across known porphyry copper mineralization and will be a model for evaluating the IP anomalies. \nThe survey is expected to be completed by the end of June, with new target generation, ground truthing, sampling and drilling of priority targets to follow in the second half of 2016. \nAs previously announced by Carube Copper on April 27, 2016, OZ Minerals has started a drill program at Bellas Gate in order to evaluate three new prospective areas; Provost, Provost South East and Lucky Valle...
