Copper Intelligence Inc. has confirmed copper mineralisation at its Sampwe Copper Project in the DRC through surface grab and channel sampling. Significant results include a channel sample of 3.9% Cu over 3.2m and grab samples as high as 10.1% Cu from the Sonta Sandstone unit.
Copper Intelligence has released maiden drill results from its Butembo Copper Project in the DRC, highlighting significant copper mineralisation. The program intersected high-grade copper in all 13 principal holes, including a 7.55m intercept at 5.39% Cu from surface in hole BCDD001.
Copper Intelligence has reported highly encouraging maiden drilling results from its Butembo Copper Project in the DRC. The program intersected significant copper grades, including 7.55m at 5.39% Cu, with evidence of native cuprite suggesting strong supergene enrichment.
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.
Alphamin announced record Q2 2026 EBITDA guidance of US$167 million, a 6% increase from the prior quarter, with tin production meeting targets. The company reported mixed exploration results from Mpama North and South, including several high-grade tin intercepts and confirmation of mineralization at depth, though many new visible intercepts are awaiting assay results. All-In Sustaining Costs increased due to higher royalties, export duties, and fuel prices, while processing recoveries slightly decreased due to higher sulphide levels in the ore.
Ivanhoe Mines reported a record monthly zinc production of 25,677 tonnes at the Kipushi Mine in May 2026. The production was driven by high feed grades of 36.2% zinc and a 93% recovery rate, placing the mine on track to exceed its 2026 annual guidance.
Ivanhoe Mines announced updated independent study results for its Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex, reaffirming a world-class Indicated Mineral Resource of 1.27 billion tonnes at 2.65% copper for 34 million tonnes of contained copper. While the updated Mineral Reserve decreased by 25% to 13.1 million tonnes of contained copper, the mine plan supports a multi-decade life and a ramp-up to over 500,000 tonnes of copper per annum from 2028. Near-term production guidance for 2026 and 2027 was revised downwards, and cash costs upwards, due to conservative geotechnical parameters and development challenges.
Alphamin Resources reported record FY2025 tin production of 18,576 tonnes, a 7% increase year-over-year, and provided FY2026 production guidance of approximately 20,000 tonnes. The company also released exploration drill results from Mpama North and Mpama South, featuring several high-grade tin intercepts, including bonanza grades. Concurrently, Alphamin announced the retirement of its CEO, with the current CFO stepping into the role and a new CFO appointed, while noting some operational challenges in Q4 processing recoveries and drilling progress, alongside ongoing security risks in the DRC.
