C3 Metals CEO Dan Symons joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce highly encouraging results from the first drill hole ever completed at the company’s Khaleesi copper project in southern Peru, marking a significant milestone for the greenfield exploration asset.
The inaugural hole returned a broad intercept of 269.0 metres grading 0.30% copper, including a higher-grade interval of 60.4 metres at 0.41% copper starting from 346.0 metres downhole. Symons described the result as a strong validation of the geological model and a promising indication of scale for the emerging system.
Khaleesi is currently being tested for the first time with an aggressive exploration program that includes two diamond drill rigs and a minimum of 6,000 metres of planned drilling. According to Symons, the early results point to the presence of a large, well-mineralized magnetite- and garnet-rich skarn body that is interfingered with multiple intrusive phases.
The mineralized skarn–intrusive contact zone appears to be well defined, coinciding with strong chargeability and magnetic geophysical anomalies. Importantly, drilling has confirmed that copper mineralization extends beneath a broad area of shallow glacial till cover—an area that had not been previously drill-tested and which significantly expands the project’s exploration footprint.
Symons cautioned that additional drilling will be required before the ultimate size and geometry of the Khaleesi system can be determined. In the meantime, the company is collecting detailed geological, alteration, geochemical, and structural data from all drill holes. This information is being incorporated into a comprehensive 3D geological block model, which will be integrated with existing 3D geophysical datasets to refine targeting and guide future drilling.
Based on the strong results from hole KHZ5800-001 and positive visual observations from additional holes that are either completed and awaiting assay results or currently being drilled, C3 Metals is actively considering expanding the drill program beyond the originally planned 14-hole, 6,300-metre campaign.
The early success at Khaleesi underscores the project’s potential to host a large-scale copper system and positions C3 Metals for continued exploration momentum as results continue to flow.
