About Carube Copper Corp.

Carube Copper Corp (TSXV: CUC) is a Canadian exploration company focused on the rapid exploration and development of precious metal and copper projects in Jamaica. Through a wholly owned Jamaican subsidiary, Carube owns a 40% beneficial interest (subject to a 2% NSR) in the Bellas Gate Project, which consists of two highly prospective copper-gold licences covering 84 square kilometres of the Central Inlier. The Bellas Gate Project ("BGP") is the subject of a joint venture agreement with OZ Minerals Limited ("OZ Minerals"), an Australian copper-gold producer with a market capitalization of over $1B. OZ Minerals can earn a 70% interest (Carube 30%) in the BGP by spending $6.5M and can then increase its interest a further 10% by completing a feasibility study. OZ Minerals also has flown airborne geophysics over 3 other Carube projects (4 wholly-owned licenses, subject to 2% NSRs, by a Jamaican subsidiary) and subsequently invoke separate joint ventures on each project with similar terms to those applicable to the BGP. Carube also holds interest in three porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum properties in south-western British Columbia within the Tertiary-aged Cascade Magmatic Arc. Exploration is continuing on two of these projects with the plan of them becoming of interest to major funding in the near future."
