Copper Intelligence said three additional diamond drill holes at its Butembo Copper Project in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo intersected the targeted copper-bearing horizon. The company reported an average mineralized thickness of 10.0 metres grading 1.49% copper across the three holes.

Together with the previously reported average of 12.4 metres grading 1.43% copper from 16 holes, the company said all 19 reported holes intersected mineralization. These are company-reported drill results, not an independently established resource or economic assessment. The statement that mineralization remains open along strike and at depth is also the company’s interpretation.
