Notable vs. Peers
- Jurisdiction risk score of 5/10 is meaningfully riskier than the peer average of 7.7/10.
- Financials score of 7.5/10 is stronger than the peer average of 5.5/10.
- Trading within 5% of its 52-week low — weak recent price momentum.
Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: mill, tailings facility, grid power.
Jurisdiction (40%)5/10
Cusco, Peru carries real community-relations, permitting-delay, and political-continuity risk typical of Andean mining jurisdictions; the company's Bellas Gate project in Jamaica is a materially different jurisdiction not captured in this single score.
Infrastructure (40%)6.4/10
Confirmed road access at Jasperoide Copper-Gold Project, Cusco, Peru; existing mill, grid power, and tailings facility not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:3.5/10
Stage: Resource Definition
Feasibility and permitting score 10, where deals cluster, and production 5.5; earlier stages score less, down to 1 at grassroots.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
C3 Metals, renamed from Carube Copper in July 2020, is advancing the Jasperoide copper-gold project and the adjacent Khaleesi target in Cusco, Peru, along with the Bellas Gate copper-gold project in Jamaica. Jasperoide's Montaña de Cobre zone hosts a mineral resource estimate reported at a 0.14% total copper breakeven cut-off within a copper-price-based pit shell, while Khaleesi and the Jamaican properties have no resource yet. In September 2026 drilling at Khaleesi returned 164.6 m at 0.35% copper equivalent and 119.5 m at 0.30% copper equivalent, extending mineralization to the north. In Jamaica, a 3DIP geophysical survey completed over Bellas Gate in August 2026 identified multiple deep-seated porphyry targets, and a follow-up drill program is targeting the Provost, Kola and Lucky Valley prospects.
