Giant Mining Corp. Begins Plans for Advancing the
Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit, Nevada
VANCOUVER, BC — April 8, 2024 — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC:
JUBAD | FWB: YW5) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
that preparations are underway to initiate work that will advance the copper
mineralization at Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit ( the “Nevada Project”), a
copper, silver, and gold project located in Pershing County, Nevada
The Nevada Project contains historic underground mines that produced 2.8 million
pounds of copper. In the NI43-101 Report: “Technical Report for the Majuba Hill
Copper Projec t, Pershing County, Nevada, USA ”, Jeffrey M. Bickel, C.P.G.
described the copper mineralization and developed a 3D block model that measured
50 million tonnes to 100 million tonnes of copper mineralization ranging from 0.15%
Cu to 0.30% Cu , with potential for a higher-grade zone of 10 million tonnes to 20
million tonnes grading between 0.40 % Cu and 0.80% Cu. This outlines an initial and
significantly expandable potential of 660 million pounds of copper. Copper hit a 14 -
month high of USD $4.27 per pound on April 8th, 2024. 1

Private Placement
The Company is pleased to disclose a forthcoming non- brokered private placement
aimed at raising up to CAD $3,000,000 (the "Placement" ). Pursuant to this
Placement, the Company intends to offer up to 15,000,000 units (the "Units") at a
price of CAD $0.20 per unit. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share
("Share") of the Company's capital stock, along with one (1 ) transferable Share
purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant grants the holder the right to purchase
one (1) additional Share at a price of CAD $0.25 per Share for twelve (12) months
following the date of issuance.
The net proceeds from the Placement will be allocated towards further exploration
activities on the Company's Nevada Project and for general corporate purposes. In
accordance with the regulations of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"),
finder's fees may be applicable. All securities issued under this Placement will be
subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day.
David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining Corp., expressed enthusiasm about the
company's prospects: "With copper prices recently peaking at $4.27 per pound, the
highest since January 2023, and our announced financing, and our preparations to
advance work at Majuba Hill, it’s an optimal time for exploration. This project, hosting
significant historical copper production and prospective new findings, positions us
well for a transformative year in 2024."
Exploration
An exploration corridor is emerging as the primary focus zone based on recent and
historic drilling, geochemistry, and geophysics. Core drilling intersected a thick oxide
zone that outcrops at the surface and extends up to 550 meters (1804 feet) deep .
Copper enrichment is shown by deeper zones of native copper intersecting beneath
the overlying copper oxides.
The Company is gearing up for an important exploration year in 2024, with plans to
significantly expand drilling efforts aimed at exploring the depth and breadth of
copper mineralization, which could define the Nevada Project's potential and future
development.

Exploration Program 2024
The Company is using funds from the Placement to advance our exploration and
development program, as outlined in the recent recommendations of the NI43 -101
report. The company has committed to drilling 16 reverse circulation (RC) holes and
two shallow metallurgical core holes, aimed at evaluating the mineral potential and
optimizing future extraction methods. Additionally, Giant Mining will initiate a
metallurgical study to enhance our understanding of mineralization and processing
efficiencies. Furthermore, our exploration depth will be extended with the drilling of
two deep core holes, each reaching 3,500 feet. This strategic investment in deep-
core drilling will help precisely assess the vertical extent of mineralization and
contribute substantially to our resource evaluation efforts.
The Company also wishes to announce that Mr. Yari Nieken has resigned from his
role as a director of the company. We are deeply grateful for Yari ’s invaluable
contributions throughout his tenure on the board. We sincerely thank him for his
dedicated service and wish him the utmost success in his future endeavors.

About Giant Mining Corp.
Giant Mining Corp. is engaged in the identification, review and acquisition of latter
stage copper and copper/silver/gold assets. This is in direct response to the growing
worldwide demand and lack of supply for precious metals fueled by the Green New
Deal in the US a nd most other developed nations with similar programs aimed at
addressing climate change. Such programs are heavily reliant on silver, gold and
especially copper to produce Electric Vehicles and other renewable power sources, as
well as building infrastructure to provide clean and affordable electricity.
The flagship project is the Majuba Hill copper, silver and gold District located 156
miles (251 km) outside Reno, Nevada, USA . Management has been mandated to
focus on safe, mining friendly jurisdictions where government regulations are
supportive of mining operations.
Neither the Canadian Securities Exchange nor its Market Regulator (as that term is
