C3 Metals completes 6,300 m drill program at Khaleesi

Executive Summary

• C3 Metals Inc. has launched a 14‑hole, 6,300 m maiden drill program at its 100 % owned Khaleesi copper‑gold project in Peru.
• The program targets both skarn‑hosted copper‑gold mineralization and porphyry‑style copper zones identified by extensive geologic mapping, soil geochemistry and coincident magnetic (Mag) and induced polarization (IP) anomalies.
• All drilling is fully funded, expanding C3 Metals’ active drill portfolio to three projects (Khaleesi, Peru; Super Block, Jamaica; Bellas Gate, Jamaica).

Key Details

• Program Scope: 14 diamond‑drill holes totaling ~6,300 m, executed with two rigs (one on skarn targets, one on porphyry targets).
• Skarn Rig: Already drilling; will drill seven holes (~3,000 m) targeting a broad skarn copper‑gold zone associated with Mag/IP chargeability highs and a resistivity low anomaly linked to a 470 m × 400 m soil Cu‑Zn anomaly (average 1,260 ppm Cu).
• Porphyry Rig: Scheduled to start in October 2025; will drill seven holes (~3,300 m) targeting porphyry‑style copper mineralization correlated with Mag/IP chargeability and resistivity highs and an 800 m × 400 m soil Cu‑Mo anomaly (average 950 ppm Cu).
• Funding: The entire program is fully funded; no additional financing required.
• Geophysical Context: Recent magnetic and IP surveys identified large, coincident anomalies; soil sampling revealed extensive copper‑molybdenum and copper‑zinc anomalies across the project area.
• Historical Data: Khaleesi has never been drill tested; surrounding projects (Jasperoide) have delivered a measured & indicated resource of 51.9 Mt @ 0.50 % Cu, 0.20 g/t Au (569 M lbs Cu, 326.8 k oz Au).
• Location Advantage: Project sits within the world‑class Andahuaylas‑Yauri porphyry‑skarn belt, ~8 km west of Jasperoide and near major mines Las Bambas (MMG) and Constancia (Hudbay).
• CEO Quote: Dan Symons emphasized that the program follows systematic data collection and positions Khaleesi as a high‑priority drill target within a district hosting several large copper operations.
