Press Release August 6, 2025

Giant Mining Expands AI-Driven U.S. Copper Exploration at

Majuba Hill with ExploreTech Phase 2 Drill Program

VANCOUVER, BC — August 6, 2025 — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC:

BFGFF | FWB: YW5 | CSE: BFG.WT.A | CSE: BFG.WT.B) (“Giant Mining” or the

“Company”) ) is pleased to announce the successful completion of a site visit with

Exploration Technologies Inc. (“ExploreTech”), alongside the Company’s consultants

and technical team.

The visit reaffirms Giant Mining’s commitment to advancing domestic copper production

in alignment with the America First industrial strategy. Building on successful results

from the Phase 1 2025 drill program —which confirmed hypogene copper

mineralization—ExploreTech will deploy its proprietary AI-assisted geophysical

modeling system to optimize exploration efforts. Giant Mining confirms the continued

and expanded engagement of ExploreTech to aid with drill planning for the 2025 Phase

2 exploration program.

The goal of Phase 2 is clear: to define and delineate the mineralized system with the

objective of developing a NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate

(“MRE”). The expanded program will target known breccias and deeper zones that will

leverage ExploreTech’s advanced AI-driven geophysical modelling to facilitate deposit

expansion and understanding.

“This is more than just a drill program — it’s a pivotal step in reshoring critical mineral

production and reclaiming American leadership in the copper supply chain,” said David

Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining Corp. “By integrating ExploreTech’s AI-driven geological

intelligence, we’re accelerating discovery and reducing risk at a time when copper prices

are surging. The opportunity to invest in U.S.-based copper assets has never been more

urgent — or more strategic.”

Recent market reports show copper prices climbing over 40% year-to-date, driven

by strong demand, tightening global supply, and U.S. tariff announcements. Copper

peaked at US $5.72 per pound earlier this month, making American copper projects

increasingly strategic (Source online July 17, 2025: InvestingNews).

This initiative is aligned with the Biden-Trump consensus on revitalizing domestic supply

chains, especially in critical metals like copper. Giant Mining Corp. believes that

reshoring copper production is essential to securing America’s energy transition,

technology leadership, and national security.

Highlights:

• ExploreTech reaffirmed as technical partner for 2025 Phase 2 Exploration

• Reinforces Giant Mining’s commitment to American copper independence

• Capitalizes on current macroeconomic tailwinds and price surges in copper

markets

ExploreTech’s cutting-edge geological intelligence and data-driven insights will play a

key role in accelerating timelines, reducing exploration risk, and delivering value to

shareholders.

Results from the Company’s 2025 Phase 1 diamond drilling program (the “Core

Program”) confirm strong breccia controls and copper mineralization, that correlates

with previously identified high-grade copper intercepts in core holes MHB-30 and MHB-

32.

Majuba Hill’s critically important characteristics are as follows:

Location:

Nevada, USA — a globally top-ranked mining jurisdiction,

ranked #1 in the Fraser Institute’s 2022 Annual Survey of

Mining Companies.

Project Size: 9,684 Acres

Infrastructure:

The Majuba Hill property is 113 road km (70 miles)

southwest of Winnemucca, Nevada, and 251 km (156

miles) northeast of Reno. Access is by well-maintained

county roads from the Imlay; Nevada exit on U.S.

Interstate 80 and traveling westward 23 miles. People,

Roads, Power and Water are the basic elements when

considering infrastructure and Majuba Hill already has a

solid infrastructure foundation for building a large facility

which will provide significant savings compared to more

remote projects

History: Historical Producer

Drilling:

Approximately 89,395 feet of drilling to date. Rough

replacement value of drilling USD $12.1 Million using

current costs.

Mineralization:

The project shows indications of a potentially large Cu – Ag

+/- Au mineralized body with many features in common

with both large porphyry copper, silver, and gold projects.

Expandability:

The IP survey, deep drilling, and step-out drilling indicate

significant expansion potential, with mineralization open in

all directions.

Fully Financed: Secured funding for next phase of drilling at Majuba Hill

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) Measures, Chain of Custody

The Company utilizes a QA/QC program using best industry practices at the Majuba Hill Project. The

samples are placed in cloth sample bags and are transported from the Giant Mining secure

warehouse to the ALS Labs Sample Prep Facility in Elko, Nevada. ALS Labs then securely transports

the prepared pulps to their analytical lab in North Vancouver, B.C.

Drill core samples are sawn in half lengthwise and one half is placed in labeled cloth sample bags.

All samples are analyzed for copper, gold, silver, and 33 other elements. Gold is determined by ALS

Labs method Au-AA23 which is a fire assay with an AAS finish on a 30-gram split. Copper, silver,

and the remaining 31 elements are determined by ALS Labs method ME-ICP61 which is a four-acid

digestion and ICP-AES assay. Approximately 5% of the submitted samples are drill duplicates and

copper-gold-porphyry commercial standard reference material pulps. The remaining pulps will be

retrieved from ALS Labs.

About Giant Mining Corp.

Giant Mining is focused on identifying, acquiring, and advancing late-stage copper and

copper/silver/gold projects to meet the growing global demand for critical metals. This demand is

driven by initiatives like the Green New Deal in the United States and similar climate-focused

programs worldwide, which require substantial amounts of copper, silver, and gold for electric

vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and the modernization of clean and affordable energy

systems.

The Company’s flagship asset is the Majuba Hill Copper, Silver, and Gold District, located 156 miles

(251 km) from Reno, Nevada. Majuba Hill is situated in a mining-friendly jurisdiction with supportive

regulations and has the potential to become one of the next major copper deposits, critical for

meeting the increasing need for this red metal.
