African Discovery Group, Inc.

African Discovery Group, Inc. (AFDG) was founded in 2017 by Alan Kessler as a Delaware corporation, initially operating as a diversified business development company with a broad focus on various sectors across the African continent. The company's overarching mission has been to contribute to Africa's economic development through strategic investments and project development. Its headquarters are located in New York, NY.

The company has recently undergone a significant strategic transformation, shifting its core business to concentrate on copper exploration and development. Following shareholder approval of a merger with the Butembo Copper Exploration license in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the acquisition of SOCIETE GRABIN MINING SAS, the company is rebranding and will operate under the name Copper Intelligence, Inc. This new entity is dedicated to aggregating high-grade copper assets in the DRC, including the Butembo and Kitungu projects.

This strategic pivot positions Copper Intelligence, Inc. as a specialized copper exploration firm, aiming to become the first stand-alone DRC company publicly traded in the United States. Andrew Groves serves as Chairman and Aldo Cesano as a Director, with founder Alan Kessler transitioning from CEO to a Director role. This move capitalizes on the increasing global demand for copper and leverages the DRC's substantial copper reserves, aligning with growing U.S. interest in critical African minerals. The company intends to change its trading symbol and pursue an uplisting to the NASDAQ exchange.
