Big Red Mining Corp. (CSE: RED) (FSE: K8J) Announces Discovery of High Grade
Copper 6.8 Meters of 1.2% Copper, including 3.8 Meters of 2.05% Copper
Vancouver, B.C., February 9, 2022 – Big Red Mining Inc. (CSE: RED) (FSE: K8J), (the "Company",
or "Big Red") is pleased to announce preliminary results from its 1,200 m drill program
comprising 9 holes on its Optioned Dobie Lake Copper Property in the Algoma Area of Ontario.
The best results were obtained from Drill holes DL-21-01, DL-21-03 and DL-21-05. The
chalcocite observed at 61.2 m depth in Drill hole DL-21-01 (see Press Release Dated January 17,
2022) gave very high copper values as expected averaging nearly 4% copper over 1.8 meters.
The zones in drill holes DL-21-03 and Dl-21-05 are described as zones of silicification with quartz
veins and rare breccia.

Big Red Mining Corp.
Mr. Jag Sandhu, CEO of Big Red stated “We have received the first batch of assays from the
Canamiska Zone drilling on the Dobie Property. We are excited by the high copper values
obtained from the Canamiska Zone. These results help confirm and duplicate the earlier results
obtained by drilling in 1965 on this zone. We are preparing our work programs for the Dobie
Lake Copper Property for 2022 and these results will assist our efforts.”

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Quality control protocols have been introduced throughout the drilling program. Drill core was
transported to a secure core storage facility located IN Batchewana Bay, Ontario. At the facility,
core samples from the program are being split in half, using a diamond cutting saw, one half
will be retained, and the other half forwarded to ALS Laboratories in Sudbury certified
laboratory in Thunder Bay, to be assayed for mineral content. All sample results will be sent by
the laboratory by e-mail to Big Red’s geologist. All samples are being analyzed for copper plus
40 elements using standard techniques. Certified reference standards, blanks and field
duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Big red’s quality
control/quality assurance program (QA/QC). Assay results will be released as received,
reviewed and verified by the Company’s Qualified Person
