Copper Giant hires Aziwell Colombia for Mocoa drilling

Executive Summary

• Copper Giant Resources Corp. has engaged Aziwell Colombia SAS to implement directional drilling technology at its flagship Mocoa copper-molybdenum project in Colombia.
• This marks the first deployment of directional drilling at Mocoa, representing a strategic shift to "drill smarter" by increasing data density and reducing surface disturbance and costs.
• The initiative is part of the company's 2026 exploration program, described as the largest drill campaign in the project's history, aimed at resource expansion and conversion.

Key Details

• Contractor Engagement: Aziwell Colombia SAS, a subsidiary of the Norwegian-based Aziwell Group, has been engaged to support the implementation of directional drilling technology.
• Strategic Objective: The move aims to support the 2026 exploration program, the largest in Mocoa's history, focusing on resource expansion and conversion objectives.
• Technical Approach: Directional drilling allows for multiple "daughter holes" to be drilled from a single "mother hole" and drill pad. This enables the testing of multiple deep targets and mineralization vectors from a single surface location.
• Operational Benefits:
  • Efficiency: Increased number of drill holes from fewer pads.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced pad construction, road development, mobilization, and overall drilling costs per metre.
  • Timeline: Accelerated infill drilling to support resource conversion and upcoming technical studies.
  • Environmental: Reduced surface disturbance and lower environmental footprint.
  • Safety/Logistics: Fewer active platforms and streamlined site coordination.
• Project Geology: Mocoa is a Jurassic-age porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit with continuous mineralization from surface to depth exceeding 1,000 vertical metres. It features a fertile magmatic window spanning roughly 10 million years.
• Resource Estimate: The Mocoa mineral resource estimate comprises inferred resources of 12.7 billion pounds copper equivalent at an average grade of 0.51% CuEq, including:
  • 7.7 billion pounds of copper at 0.31% Cu.
  • 1.0 billion pounds of molybdenum at 0.039% Mo.
  • Total tonnage: 1,120 million tonnes.
• Qualified Person: Edwin Naranjo Sierra, Vice-President of Exploration, is the designated qualified person under National Instrument 43-101. He holds an MSc in Earth sciences and is a fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (FAusIMM).

Notable Quotes

• "The implementation of directional drilling at Mocoa marks an important technical evolution for the project. As we move into the largest drill program in our history, our focus is not only on metres drilled, but on drilling smarter. Directional technology allows us to increase data density within the resource footprint and efficiently test expansion corridors while reducing overall drilling metres, surface disturbance and associated cost. This is a practical step forward in advancing Mocoa toward future technical studies, strengthening our geological model and maintaining our commitment to responsible exploration," stated Edwin Naranjo Sierra, vice-president of exploration.
