Peru
Jasperoide
FLAGSHIP PROJECT
The Jasperoide Project covers 57 square kilometres in Southern Peru. Access is by primary and secondary roads from the regional capital of Cusco. The average elevation at the Jasperoide site is 4,300m, located on a gently rolling plateau. C3 Metals has identified and modelled 3 types of mineralization at Jasperoide:
- At surface high grade copper oxide at Montana de Cobre
- Near surface sulphide copper mineralization at Cresta Verde with indications of a feeder system from a buried copper porphyry
- Epithermal veining with high grade gold and silver values at Callejon de Oro.
GEOLOGY
At Jasperoide, high-grade copper-gold skarn in outcrop has been mapped for over three kilometres along strike. The geologic setting at Jasperoide is analogous to the giant copper-gold deposits at the nearby Las Bambas and Constancia mines: Folded and thrust faulted carbonate sedimentary rocks, a multi-phase intrusive complex, and extensive skarn alteration. At Jasperoide, copper-gold mineralization is closely associated with magnetite skarn development. The potential for porphyry copper mineralization is demonstrated by phyllic alteration and B-veins proximal to the mineralized skarn.
Surrounded by world class deposits:
- Las Bambas 1.20BT @ 0.61% Cu, 197ppm Mo (MMG)
- Constancia 534MT @ 0.31% Cu, 97ppm Mo (HudBay)
- Antapaccay 592MT @ 0.45% Cu (Glencore)
- Haquira 569MT @ 0.56% Cu (First Quantum)
TARGETS
Considerable potential for hosting copper at Jasperoide lies within the interpreted “STACKED” skarn system with well-developed mineralogic zonation and near surface oxide copper development, a deeper porphyry-style mineralization and intermediate sulphidation vein overprinting. Given the large volume of skarn mineralization seen at Jasperoide, the potential for a large copper-gold deposit similar in scale to neighbouring mines is possible.

MONTANA DE COBRE
Current drilling at Montana de Cobre has outlined oxide copper, gold and silver mineralization covering an area of 400m by 150m to a depth of 200m. This mineralization is characterized by highly oxidized rock with mineralization from surface and includes a high grade zone near the lower extent of oxidation.
Results from this section indicate the extent of mineralization.
At Montana de Cobre, evidence of a deeper, buried porphyry is shown in a brecciated tonalite with 3-5% chalcopyrite.
“The kicker is finding these sulphide rich porphyry fragments within a breccia – ripped up from a deep seated copper porphyry system, just like we have in JAS2650-04”
Stephen Hughes, VP Exploration C3 Metals Inc.
CRESTA VERDE
Initial drilling by C3 at Cresta Verde on Section JAS4350 has outlined disseminated to massive sulphides with chalcopyrite mineralization drilling within a coincident IP chargeability and magnetic anomalies.
CALLEJON DE ORO
Surface sampling has indicated a series of low sulphidation epithermal veins with high values in historic trenching and recent drilling. C3 Metals’ 2021 IP and magnetic surveys indicate additional magnetite skarn targets.
Additional Targets
New target development from boots on the ground mapping, sampling, ground IP and airborne magnetics.
- Brecciated High Sulphidation feeder structures
- Stacked and buried “dirty” limestone susceptible to skarnification and copper mineralization
- Buried copper porphyry
