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.
Ivanhoe Mines reported a 30% surge in Q3 copper production at the Kamoa-Kakula complex, reaching 76,401 tons. However, the company expects its full-year output to hit the lower end of its original guidance due to production tracking trends.
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.
Robert Friedland's private company, I-Pulse, is developing pulsed-power technology designed to replace conventional SAG and ball mills. The technology claims to reduce energy consumption by up to 80% and increase metal recoveries by approximately 5%, though commercial-scale results have not yet been published.
Copper Intelligence Inc. has confirmed copper mineralisation at the Sampwe Copper Project in the DRC through surface grab and channel sampling. Results include a 3.9% Cu channel sample over 3.2m and high-grade grab samples up to 10.1% Cu, targeting the shallow Sonta Sandstone horizon.
Copper Intelligence has reported significant results from its maiden diamond drilling campaign at the Butembo Copper Project in the DRC. The program intersected broad zones of copper mineralisation, highlighted by a 7.55m at 5.39% Cu intercept from surface and the identification of native cuprite.
Ivanhoe Mines has expanded its Makoko copper discovery by 30%, reaching approximately 12 million tonnes of contained copper. The updated resource includes 42 million tonnes of indicated resources at 2.66% copper and 612 million tonnes of inferred resources at 1.8% copper.
Copper Intelligence has released maiden drill results from its Butembo Copper Project in the DRC, confirming a substantial copper-bearing schist system. Highlights include an exceptional 7.55m at 5.39% Cu from surface in hole BCDD001 and several broad, high-grade intervals.
