Copper Giant Invited to US Embassy in Colombia as Two Drills Turn at The Mocoa Project

Executive Summary

• Copper Giant announced the first drill hole (MD‑048) at the East Valley target intersecting porphyry‑style mineralization, confirming expansion potential beyond the current Mocoa resource.
• The company completed a definitive agreement to acquire 100 % of 12 mining applications covering 53,474 ha in Colombia, increasing its land package by ~64 % to 136,425 ha.
• Mining financier Frank Giustra purchased an 11.2 % stake in Copper Giant, underscoring confidence from a prominent industry investor.

Key Details

• Drill Hole MD‑048 (East Valley target) – First ever test in the area; intersected porphyry‑style mineralization over ~800 m depth with low copper and higher gold, silver, and multi‑metallic values.
• Drilling Cost Efficiency – Utilised KD‑1000 man‑portable rigs; reported straight drilling cost of C$300 per metre, eliminating need for helicopter support.
• Previous Drill Hole MD‑047 (Mocoa) – 1,004 m continuous Cu‑Mo mineralization; average 0.57 % CuEq (0.39 % Cu, 0.04 % Mo); a 567 m interval graded 0.76 % CuEq. Highlights robust high‑grade zone and new vector for exploration.
• Land Acquisition – Definitive agreement to acquire 12 mining applications (53,474 ha) in the Jurassic porphyry belt (Cauca, Putumayo, Mocoa). Combined with existing holdings, total land package now ~136,425 ha, positioning Copper Giant as one of Colombia’s largest porphyry‑copper landowners.
• Strategic Investment – Frank Giustra purchased an 11.2 % equity stake in Copper Giant; Giustra is a noted mining financier and co‑founder of Aris Mining (Q2 2025 revenue $200 M, +75 % YoY).
• Project Scale Commentary – CEO Ian Harris reiterated Mocoa’s 600 Mt resource containing >2 Mt Cu, equating its value to a ~$35 oz gold deposit at current metal prices; noted molybdenum contributes 20‑30 % of project value.
• Geopolitical Context – Harris disclosed a meeting request from the U.S. Embassy regarding the Mocoa project, indicating potential for future ore shipments to the United States amid rising interest in secure critical‑metal supply chains.
