CARUBE REPORTS EXTENSIVE COPPER MINERALIZATION<br />

IN TRENCHES AT BELLAS GATE PROJECT<br />

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, APRIL 5, <strong>2012</strong>: <strong>Carube</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Inc. (<strong>Carube</strong>) is pleased to announce<br />

results from channel samples collected from nine trenches over copper anomalies at its Bellas<br />

Gate Project in Jamaica. The anomalies were defined from data compilation and a soil<br />

geochemical program completed in late 2011 (see <strong>Press</strong> <strong>Release</strong> dated November 29, 2011 and<br />

Schedule A). Results from the trenching indicate that high metal values, primarily copper,<br />

correlate well with highly anomalous copper, gold and silver values from the soil samples.<br />

The trenches not only confirm the presence of the soil anomalies in the weathered rock, but<br />

indicate impressive widths of oxidized material rich in copper and, in specific instances, the<br />

presence of gold and silver, in spite of the trenches bottoming in a zone most probably leached of<br />

metals. A summary of the results is shown in Schedule B.<br />

Trench Results: Significant results encountered in the trenches include:<br />

(1) High Stone Hill trenches<br />

48m of 0.25% Cu, including 0.33% Cu over 15 m in HSH1<br />

30m of 0.29% Cu, including 0.43% over 6m in HSH1a<br />

5m of 0.30% Cu in HSH2<br />

8m of 0.63% Cu in HSH3<br />

HSH2 and HSH3 are located along an anomaly where a large pre-1958 trench,<br />

approximately 3.5 x 18m, exposed a copper-bearing zone (malachite, minor bornite and<br />

chalcopyrite) averaging 2.3% Cu over 2m for a length of over 18m.<br />

(2) Dry Hill Trenches<br />

45m of 0.42% Cu including 0.64% Cu over 18m in DH1<br />

13m of 0.69% Cu including 1.37% Cu over 4m in DH2<br />

These two mineralized sections could well be within a broad structure or series of<br />

structures trending to the northwest.<br />

(3) Charing Cross Trenches<br />

5m of 0.29% Cu in CC1, trench excavated across a northern splay of the Charing<br />

Cross-Congo Hill Zone (CCZ)<br />

6m of 0.44% Cu and 3m of 0.21% Cu, 0.3ppm Au in CC2 on an off-set to the CCZ<br />

(4) Bordeaux Hill Trenches<br />

4m of 0.13% Cu and 5m of 13.5ppm Ag in BH1<br />

17m of 0.12% Cu and 0.4 ppm Au, 3m of 0.19% Cu, and 2.2ppm Au in BH2<br />

Diamond drilling (one drill operating, second being mobilized) is underway with a number of<br />

holes being completed. The holes drilled to date show evidence of mineralization, and assays<br />

should be available in about 90 days.


This press release has been prepared by Dr. V. N. Rampton, P.Eng. in his capacity as a qualified<br />

person as defined under NI 43-101 standards.<br />

Sample Preparation, Analysis and Quality Control: For most trenches, channel samples were<br />

taken at the base of the trench wall over 1 to 3m intervals. The samples, weighing between 3 kg<br />

and 1 kg were stored in a secure locality and then forwarded through bonded couriers to<br />

Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlab) at Ancaster, Ontario. At Actlab the samples were crushed<br />

with up to 90% passing 2mm, 250g was then split and pulverized to 95% passing 105 micron.<br />

Actlab’s IEP1 (Au+14) procedure was utilized to determine the values of 15 elements. Thirty<br />

grams were utilized for neutron activation to determine Au, As, Sb, Ba, Hg and W contents. The<br />

remainder of the elements—Ag, Cd, Cu, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, S and Zn—has their values<br />

determined by ICP following aqua regia digestion.<br />

Actlab is a fully accredited laboratory to ISO 17025 and CAN-P-1579 and NELAP standards. A<br />

certain number of standards and blanks are inserted into the sequence of samples to be analyzed.<br />

Splits and duplicates are also systematically analyzed for quality control. In addition, <strong>Carube</strong><br />

inserted a number of blanks for analysis.<br />

About <strong>Carube</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Inc.: <strong>Carube</strong> is a private company focussed on the rapid development of<br />

precious metal and copper projects in eastern Canada and the Caribbean. Its wholly owned<br />

subsidiary, <strong>Carube</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Jamaica Ltd. (CRJL), owns a 100% interest in two highly prospective<br />

copper/gold/silver licences covering 85 km 2 of the Central Inlier in Jamaica. The interest is subject to<br />

a series of staged payments, share issuances and exploration commitments over a four year period<br />

beginning March, 2011. It also owns a 100% interest in Rodinia Jamaica Limited which controls 4<br />

additional licences covering a total of 176 square kilometres located mainly on three of Jamaica’s<br />

highly prospective Cretaceous Inliers. In addition it has an option to earn a 100% interest on the<br />

highly prospective 23 km 2 Fiedmont platinum and palladium project north of Val d’Or, Quebec. It<br />

currently has 19,771,374 common shares outstanding.<br />
