Giant Mining Expands 2026 Drill Program to 10,000 Feet
Using AI-Assisted Geological Targeting at Majuba Hill
VANCOUVER, BC — March 20, 2026 — 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 that it has updated its
2026 drill program to include two deep diamond drill holes within its previously
announced up to 10,000-foot core drill program (the “Drill Program”),
designed to test high-priority targets at depth at the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-
Gold Project (“Majuba Hill”) in Pershing County, Nevada, using integrated
geological data in collaboration with A.I.-assisted targeting tools to support
geological interpretation.
These deep drill holes are being strategically positioned based on integrated
datasets including historical drilling, geological modeling, soil geochemistry, and
emerging targets identified through ExploreTech A.I., as well as surface
exploration work completed during early 2026, which outlined a prospective
breccia body.
Mr. David Greenway commented: “Our understanding of the Majuba Hill system
continues to advance through the integration of geological modeling, historical
data, and A.I.-assisted targeting tools. These deep drill holes are designed to
test priority zones identified through this data-driven approach, including areas
beneath historical workings that remain underexplored by modern drilling, based
in part on work conducted by previous operators, including historic drilling by
Freeport Sulfur in the 1940’s and Mine Finders in the 1970’s. By combining
advanced analytics with core geological interpretation, we aim to better define
the scale and continuity of mineralization at depth.”
• Deep Drill Hole 1: Targeting a newly defined breccia body identified from
recent surface mapping and soil sampling programs conducted in late 2025
(See News Release November 19, 2025). This target represents a priority
zone for targets considered prospective for mineralization associated with
hydrothermal breccia systems.

• Deep Drill Hole 2: Designed to test mineralization potential at depth
beneath historical underground mine workings, where limited modern
drilling has been completed. This hole is planned to evaluate extensions of
known mineralized structures and assess potential feeder zones associated
with the broader intrusive copper system.

These additions are intended to further refine the Company’s understanding of
the vertical and lateral extent of mineralization at Majuba Hill, while leveraging
advanced targeting methodologies through its collaboration with ExploreTech.
The Company cautions that exploration targets are conceptual in nature and
insufficient exploration has been completed to define a mineral resource.
Majuba Hill is a large copper-silver-gold intrusive-related system with over 100
historical drill holes totaling approximately 89,000 feet, and a long history of
copper production and exploration.
Phase 1
• Up to 5,000 feet of diamond drilling
• Underground mapping and sampling
• Surface geochemical surveys to refine drill targeting
Phase 2
• Up to 5,000 feet of additional drilling
The 2026 exploration and drill program are building on the Company’s previous
exploration work and drilling across the district. Results from the Company’s
2024–2025 exploration programs identified multiple mineralized breccia bodies
3
associated with hydrothermal-magmatic tourmaline breccias and breccia pipe
margins, which represent priority targets for further drilling.

Furthermore, the Company is pleased to announce its attendance at the annual
meeting of the Ralph J. Roberts Center for Research in Economic Geology
(“CREG”), hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno at the Mackay School of
Earth Sciences and Engineering in Reno, Nevada.
E.L. “Buster” Hunsaker III, commented: “Participation in programs such as CREG
provides an opportunity to engage with current academic and geological
research relevant to mineral systems in Nevada. Ongoing collaboration and
review of regional geological studies support the refinement of our exploration
models at Majuba Hill, including the integration of updated interpretations
related to alteration, structure, and mineralization.”
About Ralph J. Roberts Center for Research in Economic Geology
The Ralph J. Roberts Center for Research in Economic Geology (CREG) is a
collaborative research program focused on advancing the understanding of
mineral deposit geology, including geochemistry, geophysics, and mineral
4
system processes, with a particular emphasis on Nevada-based deposits such as
Carlin-type gold systems. The program is a partnership between the Mackay
School of Earth Sciences and Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, the
Nevada mining industry, and the U.S. Geological Survey, and is directed by Dr.
Simon Jowitt.
Through the CREG program Alex Holmwood conducted research on the Majuba
Hill magmatic-hydrothermal system and in 2023 published his Master of Science
Thesis entitled “Temporal evolution of the Majuba Hill Cu-(Mo)- (Sn) deposit,
Pershing County, Nevada”. His research included studies on the timing and
relationships between intrusive phases, alteration, and mineralization. This work
has contributed to the geological framework used by the Company to support
ongoing exploration activities at Majuba Hill.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”)
Historical drilling results referenced herein were previously disclosed by the
Company in accordance with National Instrument 43 -101 – Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Analytical work was performed by ALS USA Inc.
("ALS"), an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited prep laboratory located in Elko, Nevada.
Industry standard quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures
included the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates at
regular intervals within the sample stream. The Qualified Person has reviewed

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 located 113 road kilometers (70
miles) southwest of Winnemucca, Nevada, and 251
kilometers (156 miles) northeast of Reno. It is accessible via
well-maintained county roads from the Imlay, Nevada exit on
U.S. Interstate 80, followed by a 23-mile drive west. People,
roads, power, and water are fundamental considerations for
infrastructure, and Majuba Hill already benefits from a strong
5
foundation in all these areas. This existing infrastructure
provides a significant advantage, offering substantial cost
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 ;
however, further drilling is required to determine the extent
and grade of mineralization.
Expandability:
The IP survey, deep drilling, and step-out drilling indicate
significant expansion potential, with mineralization open in all
directions.
Fully Financed: The Company has secured funding for its next phase of drilling
at Majuba Hill.

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 benefits from a mining-friendly
regulatory environment and strong local infrastructure. While still an exploration-stage
asset, the geological footprint and scale of mineralization indicate that further work is
clearly justified and that the system may host significant copper potential.
With a strengthened technical framework, supportive jurisdiction, and funded exploration
program, Giant Mining is focused on advancing Majuba Hill through systematic drilling and
technical evaluation. The Company remains committed to responsible exploration,
technical transparency, and creating long-term shareholder value through discovery-
focused exploration.
Neither the Canadian Securities Exchange nor its Market Regulator (as that term is defined
