Copper Intelligence Eyes Massive Deposit | Nigeria News

Copper Intelligence is hot on the trail of a major copper discovery in Congo’s Butembo, with drilling revealing strong mineralization just below the surface and a potential deposit stretching up to eight kilometers. Strategically located near Uganda, the project benefits from easy export routes via Mombasa and abundant local power — key for future processing. Security isn’t a worry, thanks to joint Congolese-Ugandan efforts and an on-site Ugandan military presence. The company’s drilling campaign is ramping up, with 15 holes planned to map the deposit’s extent and viability. With global demand surging from EVs, data centers, and defense, Groves calls copper “the new oil” — urgently needed as old mines fade and supply can’t keep pace.
