# Cannindah Resources sees more copper-gold resource growth as second rig joins the hunt Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/cannindah-resources-sees-more-copper-gold-resource-growth-as-second-rig-joins-th--d84c28f1-b1f5-43d0-a469-9d7aff6dbbd6 Original source: https://stockhead.com.au/resources/cannindah-resources-sees-more-copper-gold-resource-growth-as-second-rig-joins-the-hunt/ Publisher: stockhead Original announcement: 2026-09-16T02:07:27.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Cannindah Resources - Ticker: CAE - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Queensland - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver - Document categories: Resource update, Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-16 03:06:40 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Cannindah Resources is expanding its drilling program with a second diamond rig to test strike and depth extensions of the Cannindah Breccia. An updated mineral resource estimate incorporating 45 new drill holes is expected by the end of September. Reasoning: The company is reporting strong growth potential and expanding its drilling program ahead of a significant resource update due in late September. - Positive factor: ongoing drilling returning substantial mineralised intersections outside existing resource - Positive factor: breccia remains open along strike and downdip - Positive factor: second diamond rig mobilised to accelerate definition - Positive factor: upcoming resource update to incorporate 45 additional drill holes - Negative factor: historical drilling at sub-optimal orientations - Negative factor: reported widths are not true thicknesses Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The article explicitly states that reported widths for previous drilling are not true thicknesses due to sub-optimal orientations. Evidence · text > reported widths are not true thicknesses **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: The company is preparing an updated MRE due by end of September. Evidence · text > A resource update, due by September-end, will incorporate another 45 drill holes ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.
