Carube Copper Settles Debt at $0.17 a Share

OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2015 / Carube Copper Corp. (TSXV: CUC) (the “Company”) reports that pursuant to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange it has issued 605,882 common shares at $0.17 per share to settle outstanding debt of $103,000 to certain officers and directors of the company. The shares are subject to a four month hold period expiring January 26, 2016.

Carube Copper continues to enhance its successful strategy of joint venturing its properties to large well-funded companies in order to minimize the development cost to Carube Copper while increasing corporate value:

– A Joint Venture in Place: At the Bellas Gate Project in Jamaica, our joint venture partner, OZ Minerals Limited, is in the process of completing $6.5M on exploration and will earn a 70% interest in the project by the end of this year. To earn an additional 10%, OZ Minerals must complete all work to conclusion of a feasibility study.

– Three Projects Ready for Joint Venture: At the Above Rocks, Hungry Gully and Main Ridge Projects in Jamaica, OZ Minerals has completed airborne geophysics. This work has earned OZ Minerals the right to enter into joint ventures on any or all three projects on similar terms to those of the Bellas Gate Joint Venture. OZ Minerals must make that decision before December 20, 2015

– Two Projects Being Advanced: At the large Mackenzie and Rogers Creek projects in southwest British Columbia, exploration work is being completed to advance both to a marketable joint venture stage. Interest in the area has increased substantially with Amarc Resources having recently optioned its IKE project to Thompson Creek Metals, which can spend $15M to earn a 30% interest in the project. The IKE project is adjacent to and directly north of Carube Copper’s Mackenzie project.

Looking to the future, the Company’s strategy is to acquire new properties at a reasonable cost. Then, with focused exploration advance them to a joint venture ready stage.
