C3 Metals identifies major Copper-Molybdenum anomaly at Khaleesi Project in Southern Peru
Published: 11:30 19 Feb 2025 EST
C3 Metals CEO Dan Symons joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce highly promising results from a grid-based soil sampling campaign at the company’s Khaleesi Copper-Gold Project in Southern Peru. This campaign builds upon previous mapping and rock sampling, which identified a 1,500m by 1,000m alteration footprint containing skarn, porphyry, and epithermal-style copper-gold mineralization.
A comprehensive 50m-spaced grid soil sampling program has now defined a significant copper-molybdenum anomaly extending for over 1,900 meters, with widths reaching 650 meters. Within this anomaly, two key zones were identified, averaging 950ppm and 650ppm copper—far exceeding the 300ppm threshold typically considered anomalous for copper in soils.
Symons noted that preliminary geophysical data, coming in real-time, indicates the presence of a large, subsurface anomaly beneath the glacial till zone. To further investigate this potential deposit, the company has initiated a series of advanced geophysical surveys, including Ground Magnetic, Induced Polarization (IP), and Magnetotellurics (MT), which are expected to be completed by March 2025.
Khaleesi is strategically located just 8km west of C3 Metals’ Jasperoide Project, where the company previously confirmed 13 skarn prospects along a 28km iron-skarn belt. With this latest discovery, C3 Metals is poised to advance its exploration efforts in one of Peru’s most prospective copper-gold districts, positioning itself for potential resource expansion and future drilling campaigns.
