# Copper Intelligence Confirms Down-Dip Continuity at Butembo as All 19 Drill Holes Intersect Copper Mineralization Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/copper-intelligence-confirms-down-dip-continuity-at-butembo-as-all-19-drill-hole--3089c935-2b1b-44bf-be62-9bf419c18b63 Original source: https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/319186/Copper-Intelligence-Confirms-DownDip-Continuity-at-Butembo-as-All-19-Drill-Holes-Intersect-Copper-Mineralization Publisher: newsfile Original announcement: 2026-10-15T13:56:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-15T14:33:46.753Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-15T14:33:46.753Z - Company: Copper Intelligence Inc. - Ticker: CUAI - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: eastern Democratic Republic of Congo - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-15 14:33:47 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Copper Intelligence reported results from three additional diamond drill holes at the Butembo Copper Project, averaging 1.49% Cu over 10.0 metres. These results confirm the continuity of the copper-bearing horizon at depth, maintaining consistency with the previously reported 16 holes. Reasoning: The results confirm down-dip continuity of the copper mineralization with grades and widths consistent with previous drilling, supporting resource expansion potential. - Positive factor: continuity confirmed at depth - Positive factor: consistent grades and thicknesses maintained - Positive factor: 100% success rate across 19 holes Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release mentions diamond drill holes and successful intersections but does not explicitly detail QA/QC protocols like standards or blanks in this text. Evidence · text > three additional diamond drill holes completed **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The drilling was designed to test continuity down dip, which is characteristic of resource definition/infill work. Evidence · text > designed to test the continuity of the Company's copper-bearing horizon down dip ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
