Copper Giant Targets New Porphyry Centers Beyond Mocoa Resource with Third Drill Rig

• On 8 Apr 2026 the company announced mobilization of a third diamond drill rig to begin systematic testing of two previously undrilled porphyry targets – La Estrella and Piedralisa – located outside the current Mocoa Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) footprint.
• The third rig will start drilling in “the coming weeks,” while the existing two rigs continue resource‑expansion work inside the MREA area.
• High‑grade assay highlights from nearby holes include >3 % Cu and >300 ppm Mo, underscoring the potential of the new targets.
• A paid Investor Relations Services Agreement with Rose & Co. (US $50 k quarterly retainer) was also disclosed, pending TSX‑V approval.

• Exploration upside: Adding a third rig directly expands drilling capacity by ~50 % and enables simultaneous testing of two district‑scale targets. This moves the project from a single‑center to a potential multi‑center porphyry system, materially increasing the upside for resource growth and future economics.
• Alignment with prior guidance: The 2026 exploration plan called for ~23,000 m of directional drilling and testing of district‑scale targets (La Estrella, Piedralisa). Mobilizing the third rig is a concrete step that meets those expectations; the news therefore confirms earlier projections rather than surprises.
• Risk mitigation: The additional rig reduces reliance on a single drill platform, lowering operational risk (equipment downtime, weather‑related delays).
• Market perception: While the market already anticipated an expanded drill program, the concrete third‑rig deployment and early high‑grade assay results are new information that can shift valuation modestly higher – hence “Material – Positive” rather than routine.

Copper Giant Resources Corp. is an exploration‑stage mining company focused on the Mocoa copper‑molybdenum porphyry system in Putumayo, Colombia. The Mocoa project hosts a >1 bn‑tonne inferred resource (≈12.7 Blb CuEq) with multiple high‑grade zones and district‑scale potential. The company’s strategy is to expand the existing resource footprint, test peripheral targets (La Estrella, Piedralisa, East Valley), and advance toward a PEA.
