Butembo Drilling Hits 22.8m Copper Intervals, Hinting at Thicker Mineralized System
Summary
Three new drill holes at the Butembo Copper Project returned substantially thicker mineralized intervals averaging 22.8 metres at 0.96% Cu, versus 10.1 metres at 1.7% Cu in the initial thirteen holes. The metal factor remains broadly comparable, but the increased thickness suggests a different mineralized facies with localized thickening and changing structural orientations. Management is dynamically adjusting drill targeting to follow the emerging trend, which could indicate a broader mineralized package than initially recognized. Further drilling is required to confirm continuity and extent, but the results are a positive step for resource development at the project.
