Copper Intelligence reports that its maiden drilling campaign has successfully validated a significant copper system hosted within metamorphosed sedimentary schists. The project has consistently intersected broad zones of mineralisation, with the highest grade returned at 7.55 metres at 5.39% Cu in hole BCDD001. The identification of native cuprite across multiple drill holes indicates robust copper enrichment processes, fueling optimism for near-surface resource development.

Technical leads and Chief Geologist Richard Rice noted that the results have surpassed initial expectations, pointing to a potential new copper district that may extend along the same strike as the Kilembe mine in Uganda. Current data shows mineralization remains open at depth and along strike, providing a strong foundation for future resource delineation. The company is now focusing on defining higher-grade shoots and advancing the project toward an SEC-compliant mineral resource estimate.
