Big Red Mining Corp. (CSE: RED) Announces the
Commencement of Diamond Drilling on the Dobie Lake Copper
Property in Ontario
Highlights
• Drilling is targeting three areas of high-grade copper mineralization on the Dobie Lake
Copper Property.
• The Canamiska Zone, Number 2 Zone (Alpha Veins) and Number 1 Zone will be drilled
in this round.
• Past work on the property and recent prospecting has identified copper mineralization up
to 9% Copper (Cu) in these areas.
• The Dobie Lake Copper Property is 6500 acres in size and is in the Algoma District of
the Huronian Belt of the Canadian Shield.
• The Algoma District was the site of the first Copper Mine in Canada and is host to
multiple former mines and copper occurrences.
Vancouver, BC, November 15, 2021 – Big Red Mining Corp. (CSE: RED) (the "Company" or "Big
Red") is pleased to report that the diamond drilling program on the Dobie Lake Copper Property
in Ontario has commenced.
Big Red’s drilling will be initially focused on three copper mineralized zones (Fi gure 1) -
Canamiska Zone, the Number 2 Zone and the Number 1 Zone.
The Canamiska Zone is a 3400 metre long EM and copper soil anomaly which was discovered
and drilled in the mid -1960’s. The zone trends northeasterly. Nine drill holes, historically drilled ,
in a restricted section of the EM anomaly in the northeasterly part of the anomaly averaged 0.42%
Copper over 5.22 meters(m), including 1.82% Copper (“Cu”) over 2.3 m, 0.532% C opper over
7.62 m, and 1.44% Copper over 6.0 m. There were also wide sections of lower-grade copper
mineralization such as 25m of 0.11% C opper. Soil sampling along the Canamiska EM Zone
returned results averaging more than 1,500 ppm Cu and ranging up to 6000 ppm Cu. No drilling
was carried out in the area of soil values in excess of 6,000 ppm and the zone has not been fully
explored. Big Red considers this a prime exploration target.
The Number 2 Zone has been recently explored and a new series of veins (The Alpha Veins)
have been uncovered. This system appears to be at least 1200 m long and trends east -west in
contrast to the direction of the Canamiska Zone. The zone was well exposed by the prospectors
and allowed the collection of 10 rock samples over approximately 200 metres. The samples from
the zone average 0.4% Cu with a high of 1.03% Cu.
The Number 1 Zone occurs in the northern part of the property and comprises an east west
trending zone with exposures of very high -grade copper and values over 9% Cu have been
reported in past work and recent sampling by Big Red crews has returned 6.6% Copper.

“I am excited by the potential of the Dobie Lake Copper property. We are anxious to see the
results of our drilling program.” Big Red CEO Jag Sandhu states. “Our field crews have been very
successful with the drill target identification program at Dobie Lake. They were able to observe
the chalcopyrite mineralization in several places and collect samples that returned exciting copper
values. The program consisted of reconnaissance VLF-EM, followed by directed prospecting and
sampling. I believe this will be very useful and effective in exploring the remainder of the property.”
Marketing and Investor Relations Agreement
In addition, Big Red has entered into a marketing and consulting contract with Toronto based
marketing firm, North Equities Corp. (the "Contract"). North Equities Corp. specializes in various
social media platforms and will be able to facilitate greater awareness and widespread
dissemination of the Company's news. In connection with the Contract, the Co mpany will pay
North Equities $CAN10,000 monthly for a 10 -month term. For further information on North

About the Dobie Lake Copper Property
Details of the Dobie Lake Copper Property can be found in the NI43-101 filed on Sedar.
The Dobie Lake Property lies within the Southern Province of the Canadian Shield. The Southern
Province is comprised chiefly of early Proterozoic clastic sediments of the Huronian Supergroup
which is early Proterozoic in age (2.45 -2.115 Ga). The Huronian sequence hosts the Nipissing
diabase sills which form a substantial intrusive complex across the region and are dated to 2.115
Ga. The Property is considered to be in District of Algoma which is p art of the Penokean Fold
Belt. Mineralization on the Property consists of copper bearing quartz veins and stockwork within
the Huronian sediments. These systems generally strike east -west to northeast and have been
traced for over 1 km long.
Three copper m ineralized systems are present on the Property, namely the Canamiska, No. 2
Zone and the No.1 Zone. According to the historic assessment work, the No. 1 Zone appears to
carry appreciable gold and silver mineralization alongside copper, while there are fewer mentions
of other mineralization besides copper at the No. 2 and Canamiska Zones.
