BLOCK(SQ) Newsfile·2025-06-03 11:44Core Viewpoint - C3 Metals Inc. has initiated a 14-hole diamond drilling program totaling 2,500 meters at its Super Block Project in Jamaica, targeting multiple epithermal gold prospects, including the historically significant Pennants Gold Mine [1][2][3]. Company Overview - C3 Metals Inc. is a mineral exploration company focused on discovering and developing large copper and gold deposits, holding approximately 30,000 hectares in the Andahuaylas-Yauri Porphyry-Skarn belt of Southern Peru [12]. - The company has identified 16 porphyry, 40 epithermal, and multiple volcanic redbed copper prospects over a 30km strike extent in Jamaica, holding a 50% interest in a joint venture with Geophysx Jamaica Ltd. [12]. Project Details - The Super Block Project features a 5km gold trend with the Pennants Gold Mine at its center, which produced approximately 16,000 gold ounces from 2002 to 2004 [5]. - Historical estimates indicate a non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 75,500 tonnes at 20.4 g/t gold, with notable historical drill intersections including 1.7m at 430.0 g/t gold [5][20]. - The PEZ prospect shows a coherent gold anomaly measuring 1,500m by up to 190m wide, with soil sampling results indicating averages of 0.41 g/t gold over 60m [5][6]. - The DHZ prospect has a defined gold anomaly measuring 550m by up to 190m wide, with rock chip samples assaying up to 35.8 g/t gold at surface [6][5]. Drilling Program Insights - The initial drilling program aims to follow up on historical high-grade gold results and assess the extensions of gold anomalies to the northwest and southeast of the Pennants Mine [3][11]. - The company believes the gold system remains open in multiple directions and at depth, with the potential for multiple low to intermediate sulfidation systems [8][11]. Future Plans - C3 Metals is in a financial position to expand the drilling program beyond the initial 14-hole plan, depending on the results obtained [11].
