C3 Metals Awards Maiden Drill Contract at Khaleesi Copper-Gold Project, Peru

Core Viewpoint - C3 Metals Inc. has engaged AK Drilling International S.A. to initiate a minimum of 6,000 meters of diamond core drilling at its wholly-owned Khaleesi copper-gold project, with mobilization scheduled for early September 2025 [1][2]. Company Overview - C3 Metals Inc. is focused on mineral exploration, aiming to create value through the discovery and development of large copper and gold deposits, holding approximately 31,000 hectares in the Andahuaylas-Yauri Porphyry-Skarn belt of Southern Peru [18]. Project Details - The Khaleesi project is located on a mineralized skarn, epithermal, and porphyry prospect within a well-known mining belt, strategically positioned near major copper mines such as Las Bambas and Constancia [6][8]. - The project area has never been drill tested historically, and the current exploration program is a high priority for the company [17]. Exploration Program - The initial drilling program consists of 14 holes designed to test high tenor geochemical and geophysical anomalies, with significant copper-molybdenum and copper-zinc soil anomalies identified [2][9]. - Recent geophysical surveys have revealed large magnetic, induced polarization, and magnetotelluric anomalies, indicating a potentially significant hydrothermal system at Khaleesi [14][17]. Historical Context - The company has previously collaborated with AK Drilling for resource delineation at the nearby Montana de Cobre project, which yielded a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 51.9 million tonnes at 0.50% total copper and 0.20 g/t gold [5][6].
