Giant Mining Corp. Engages Big Sky Exploration for Up to 10,000 Feet of Multi-Phase 2026 Drilling at Majuba Hill, Nevada

Executive Summary

• Giant Mining Corp. has engaged Big Sky Exploration to conduct its 2026 maiden core diamond drilling program at the Majuba Hill copper‑silver‑gold project in Nevada.
• The Phase 1 program will drill up to 5,000 ft (≈1,524 m) of core, with a total planned multi‑phased program of up to 10,000 ft (≈3,048 m).
• Funding for the next drilling phase is secured, and the work builds on >89,000 ft of historic drilling that identified elevated Cu, Ag and Au values.

Key Details

• Contractor: Big Sky Exploration, LLC – experienced western U.S. drill operator; previously provided core services at Majuba Hill in 2024‑2025.
• Advance Payment: Giant Mining has made the required advance payment to ensure a timely start of Phase 1.
• Drilling Scope:
• Phase 1: Up to 5,000 ft (1,524 m) core drilling, underground mapping & sampling, additional surface sampling for follow‑up targets.
• Phase 2: Planned up to another 5,000 ft (1,524 m) core drilling later in 2026.
• Historical Context: >89,395 ft of drilling completed to date (~$12.1 M replacement cost); over 100 historic holes guide the new program.
• Geology & Intercepts: Historic drill intercepts returned elevated copper and silver values with anomalous gold intervals; mineralization occurs in hydrothermal‑magmatic tourmaline breccia matrices and breccia pipe margins.
• Qualified Person Review: E.L. “Buster” Hunsaker III, CPG 8137 (non‑independent consulting geologist), has reviewed and approved the technical information per NI 43‑101.
• Strategic Alignment: Project supports U.S. domestic critical‑metal supply objectives and aligns with federal initiatives to secure copper, silver, and gold for clean‑energy infrastructure.
