## Minestarters Atlas summary

Copper Intelligence Inc. has acquired additional land adjoining its Butembo Copper Project in the DRC, extending its tenure by approximately 3 km along strike. The expansion follows a successful drilling campaign that intersected copper in all 16 holes drilled to date, averaging 1.43% Cu over 12m.

Reasoning: The acquisition significantly expands the exploration footprint along a proven mineralized corridor, supported by consistent drilling results.

- Positive factor: Strategic 3 km strike extension via land acquisition

- Positive factor: 100% success rate in drilling \(copper in every hole\)

- Positive factor: Consistent mineralization \(1.43% Cu over 12m average\)

- Positive factor: Open strike and depth potential

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The company acquired 3 km of additional ground to extend its control along the mineralized strike.

Evidence · text

> extends the Company's control of the mineralized corridor by approximately three kilometres along strike

**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 the success of a diamond drilling campaign but does not explicitly detail specific QA/QC protocols or lab names in this text.

Evidence · text

> based on the currently completed 16 diamond drill holes

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. 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.
