Big Red Mining Corp. (CSE: RED) (FSE: K8J) Announces The Completion of
Preliminary Drilling - Copper Mineralization Observed In The Drill Core
Vancouver, B.C., January 17, 2022 – Big Red Mining Inc. (CSE: RED) (FSE: K8J), (the "Company",
or "Big Red") is pleased to announce the completion of a 1,900 m drill program comprising 9
holes on its Optioned Dobie Lake Copper Property in Ontario, Canada. The drilling program
tested two of the known areas of potential copper mineralization on the Dobie Lake Copper
Property – the Canamiska Zone and the newly discovered Alpha Vein of the No. 2 Zone.
The Canamiska Zone drilling comprised 5 holes and focused on the area where previous drilling
has intersected copper values. Four holes were also completed to test part of the Alpha Vein in
the No. 2 Zone.
Core logging has been completed and assays are awaited. The visual presence of copper
mineralization comprising chalcopyrite and/or chalcocite has been reported in 4 of the 5 holes
at Canamiska and two of the holes on the ALPHA Vein.
The mineralization encountered consisted dominantly of stringers, pods and disseminations of
chalcopyrite, however, a zone of massive chalcocite was encountered in Drill hole DL21-01 (see
photo below). The zone is deeply weathered and appeared to represent a shear zone with
bands of massive chalcocite.

Mr. Jag Sandhu, CEO of Big Red stated” We are excited to receive the assays from this, our first
drilling on the Dobie Copper Property. The presence of copper mineralization in the form of
chalcopyrite and especially chalcocite is very encouraging. We know chalcocite mineralization
yields higher copper values than chalcopyrite”
