Giant Mining Intersects Surface High Grade at
Majuba with 74.0 feet of 2.6% Cu and 30.1 g/t Ag
within 218.0 feet of 1.35% Cu and 73.4 g/t Ag
VANCOUVER, BC — September 24, 2024 — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG |
OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) announces the
company intersected high-grade copper-silver mineralization in hole MHB-30 (“MHB-
30”) from surface down to a depth of 218.0 feet (66.4 meters) consisting of 74.0
feet (22.6 meters) of 2.6% Cu and 30.1 g/t Ag within 218.0 feet of 1.35% Cu and
73.4 g/t Ag at its Majuba Hill Copper- Silver Deposit located in Pershing County,
Nevada.
Combining the copper and the silver results returns a copper equivalent of:
0 to 218.0 feet of 2.1% Copper Equivalent (“CuEq”) including 140.0 to 214.0
feet at 2.9% CuEq.

Majuba Hill is a copper-silver-molybdenum porphyry project that previously produced
high-grade copper, silver and tin, along with gold and zinc from historic underground
workings. The project is accessible year-round by a major highway with extensive
infrastructure already in place and over 83,925 feet of exploration and development
drilling to date. Giant Mining controls 15.1 square miles (39.2 sq km) or 9,678 acres
(3,917 ha) at Majuba Hill.
Buster Hunsaker, Consulting Geologist to Giant Mining commented, “ The recent
technical reviews noted the consistent silver values associated with the copper have
the potential to enhance the total value of the deposit. A 2017 study of the silver
2
metallurgy indicated the potential for recovery using flotation. Combining the copper
and the silver results in 0 to 66.4 m at 2.1% CuEq which includes 42.7 to 65.2 m at
2.9% CuEq.
The 2024 core and reverse circulation drilling program was designed to in-fill and drill
new targets to expand the near surface, open- pit, 50 to 100 million tonnes,
Exploration Target that has grades estimated from 0.15% Cu to 0.30% Cu ( NI43-
101 2023 Report is available at GiantMiningCorp.com) . 2024 holes are planned to
improve the copper grades and provide sufficient confidence in the results and make
way for Giant’s NI 43-101 maiden mineral resource estimate ( “MRE”). The 2024
holes target near-surface oxide and enrichment zones concentrated along magmatic-
hydrothermal breccias that define two prominent corridors.

MHB-31 375957 4502984 331.0 310 -50 Core
The Company is pleased to report that the MHB-30 assay results are significantly
higher than those expected to occur within the high-grade domain (>0.50% copper)
modeled in the NI43-101 in Figure 1.
"We are excited by the results of hole MHB -30, which significantly exceeded our
expectations for high-grade copper-silver mineralization," said David Greenway, CEO
of Giant Mining. "With guidance from our geologic team, including Richard Sillitoe,
Leo Hathaway (Technical Advisor), and Larry Segerstrom (Director), we are
continuing to uncover the incredible potential of Majuba Hill. We remain open both at
depth and along strike, and despite over 83 ,925 feet of drilling and development
work, we are only scratching the surface of just how big this opportunity could be for
Giant stakeholders, the State of Nevada, and the USA. We eagerly await the results
from MHB-31, drilled to a total depth of 1,086 feet."
Leo Hathaway, Technical Advisor commented, "The high-grade copper-silver results
from hole MHB -30 are a strong validation of our exploration model at Majuba Hill.
These results confirm the presence of significant mineralization near surface, with
potential for further expansion both laterally and at depth. We are excited about the
continued progress of the program and look forward to unlocking even more value
as we drill deeper and expand our understanding of the deposit."

Copper Equivalent Calculation
Copper equivalent (CuEq) values were calculated by combining the assay values for
copper and silver assay results for each intercept using an interval -weighted
calculation based on $4.475/lb Cu and $31.29/oz Ag.
Copper on September 24th 2024 is trading at $4.475/lb Cu and $31.29/oz Ag (prices

Exchange Centre and Silver COMEX (Dec′24) @SI.1:CEC:Commodities Exchange
Centre).
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) Measures, Chain of Custody
The Company utilizes a QA/QC program using best industry practices at the Majuba
Hill Project. The samples are placed in cloth or plasti c sample bags and are
transported from the Giant Mining secure warehouse or directly from Woods Process
to the ALS Labs Sample Prep Facility in Elko, Nevada. ALS then transports the
prepared pulps to their analytical lab in North Vancouver, B.C.
Drill core samples are sawn in half lengthwise and one half is placed in labeled cloth
sample bags. All samples are analyzed for copper, gold, silver, and 33 other
elements. Gold is determined by ALS Labs method Au-AA23 which is a fire assay with
an AAS finish on a 30-gram split. Copper, silver, and the remaining 31 elements are
determined by ALS Labs method ME -ICP61 which is a four -acid digestion and ICP -
AES assay. Approximately 10% of the submitted samples are drill duplicates and
copper-gold-porphyry commercial standard reference material pulps. The sample
rejects and remaining pulps will be retrieved from ALS Labs.

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 and 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
