C3 Metals says Khaleesi copper project shares age profile with major Andahuaylas-Yauri deposits

C3 Metals Inc said on Monday that new geochronology results from its Khaleesi copper project in southern Peru show the mineralization formed about 35.8 million years ago, placing it within the same age range as several major copper deposits in the Andahuaylas-Yauri belt. The exploration company said the age-dating program suggests the Khaleesi system developed during a key mineralizing period for porphyry and skarn deposits in the region, which typically formed between about 40 million and 30 million years ago.
