Giant Mining hires Big Sky for drilling at Majuba Hill

Executive Summary

• Giant Mining Corp. has engaged Big Sky Exploration LLC to execute up to 10,000 feet of multi-phase core diamond drilling at its Majuba Hill copper, silver, and gold project in Nevada for 2026.
• The exploration program is structured into two 5,000-foot phases, supplemented by underground mapping, surface sampling, and technical oversight from Respec Engineering.
• The drilling strategy leverages over 89,000 feet of historical drilling and recent exploration results that identified mineralized breccia bodies with elevated copper, silver, and gold values, supporting U.S. critical mineral supply chain objectives.
