![Carube Copper Corp. Receives Approval for Exploration Re-Start at the Jasperoide Cu-Au Project](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Field based activities at Jasperoide were put on hold in March and all Carube personnel have been working from home in order to help protect the health of our employees and the communities in which we operate, a decision that aligns with the Canadian, Peruvian, and Jamaican governments' responses to COVID-19. The Company continues to closely monitor events relating to the COVID-19 situation and revise its plans as required.
While field activities have been suspended, Carube has taken the opportunity to undertake a comprehensive review all historical data including drill core and logs, developed a 3D geologic block model for the deposit, completed design of the 2020-21 drill program and made all preparations for exploration programs to re-commence. The Company will provide a summary of this work together with an outline of planned activities for the Jasperoide Project shortly.
Tony Manini, Executive Chairman of the Board commented:
"Our highest priority continues to be the health and welfare of our employees and the communities in which we operate and as such we are pleased to report there are no confirmed COVID-19 cases within our team or in the Jasperoide Project area. Carube has introduced strict safety protocols to address COVID-19 risks and is extremely pleased to be restarting field-based exploration activities. Jasperoide is a very exciting Cu-Au exploration project with historical results that demonstrate the potential for a major discovery, immediate walk up drill targets and a clear line of site to establishing an initial Resource."
Over the past three months of COVID-19 related restrictions our technical team has taken the opportunity to consolidate and assess all historical data for the project. This work has significantly enhanced our understanding of the geology and mineralisation and see's the Company well prepared to maximise the opportunity for a major Cu-Au discovery at Jasperoide. The Company's drill permit application is well advanced, and we are confident that as further restrictions are eased in Peru, the permit will be processed in a timely fashion. Drilling will commence immediately upon receipt of the permit"
