Episode Details

C3 Metals CEO Dan Symons joined Steve Darling from Proactive to report new drill results from the company’s Khaleesi copper project in southern Peru, highlighting encouraging early-stage exploration success. C3 Metals has completed 12 diamond drill holes totaling 6,300 metres, with copper mineralization observed in all completed holes across a footprint measuring approximately 1,000 metres by 500 metres. Step-out drilling has extended up to 300 metres, marking the first-ever drill testing at the greenfield Khaleesi project. Assay results from the first two holes were previously released. The company has now received assays from an additional four holes, with multiple intercepts of broad skarn- and diorite-hosted copper mineralization. Highlights include hole KHZ5825-001: 101.1 metres grading 0.30% copper, 0.045 g/t gold, 0.84 g/t silver, and 48 ppm molybdenum (0.37% CuEq) from 23.4 metres downhole and KHZ5950-001: 243.7 metres grading 0.24% copper, 0.020 g/t gold, 0.87 g/t silver, and 41 ppm molybdenum (0.29% CuEq) from approximately 200 metres vertical depth. Symons said results from the first six assayed holes, combined with visual observations from the remaining six holes, suggest potential for higher-grade mineralization in the western and southwestern areas of the project. Mineralization in the eastern and northeastern portions appears more distal from what management describes as the system’s “heat engine.” With additional drilling, the company aims to better define the geometry of the mineral system and vector toward higher-grade zones, potentially associated with a porphyry source. Following completion of the initial 6,300-metre Phase 1 program, C3 Metals has launched an aggressive 2026 drill campaign. The company plans to drill an additional 15,000 metres this year, targeting a total of 21,300 metres by year-end. Management is continuously refining its geological model to better target skarn-hosted mineralization and evaluate the potential for an underlying porphyry system. #proactiveinvestors #c3metalsinc #tsxv #cccm #otcqb #cuauf #KhaleesiProject #KhaleesiProject #CopperExploration #PeruMining #SkarnMineralization #PorphyryTarget #DiamondDrilling #DrillResults #CopperGold #Molybdenum #ResourceExpansion #GreenfieldProject #MiningExploration #CopperDiscovery #BaseMetals #Phase1Drilling #2026DrillProgram #GeologicalModel #AndeanMining #CuEq
