Increasing Shareholder Value

Two Major Joint Ventures

OZ Minerals Limited, Carube Copper's partner at the Bellas Gate Joint Venture in Jamaica has completed over $8M in expenditures to earn a 70% interest in the JV. OZ Minerals has elected to sole fund Phase 5 expenditures on the Bellas Gate Project. By funding Phase 5, which includes all work to the completion of a feasibility study, OZ Minerals will earn an additional 10% interest in the project. The initial work within the Phase 5 program will include close to 2,000 metres of drilling on four priority copper prospects as well as mapping, sampling and ground geophysics on these and other targets. At the Above Rocks Joint Venture, OZ Minerals has completed airborne geophysics and is advancing the Phase 1 Exploration program where $500,000 in expenditures will earn them a 40% interest. The initial work program will consist of mapping and sampling leading up to drilling a number of the high-priority target areas.

Five Wholly Owned Projects

Carube Copper holds a 100% interest in Main Ridge and Hungry Gully, two copper and gold projects totalling 80 square kilometres in Jamaica. In Canada, it holds a 100% interest in three porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum properties totalling 593 square kilometres in southwestern British Columbia.
