Carube seeks to reignite Jamaica’s copper industry

Drilling at Carube Copper’s (TSXV: CUC) 100% owned copper-gold Bellas Gate property in Jamaica returned positive drill results this October. Carube owns 11 properties across Jamaica covering 536 sq. km of mineral rights, but its focus is on Bellas Gate, which consists of two 100% owned prospecting licenses covering 84 km². The licenses are located within highly deformed, altered and mineralized Cretaceous rocks within the central inlier of Jamaica.

So far, it has returned results on three of them in the Provost zone. Continue reading at The Northern Miner.
