Giant Mining Re-Engages ExploreTech for AI-Driven
2026 Drill Targeting at Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-
Gold Project in Nevada
VANCOUVER, BC — February 6, 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 it has re-engaged
Exploration Technologies Inc. (“ExploreTech”), a geoscience technology
company located in San Diego, California, specializing in artificial intelligence–
driven subsurface modelling, to support drill targeting for the Company’s
planned 2026 exploration and drilling program at its flagship Majuba Hill Copper-
Silver-Gold Project (“Majuba Hill”) in Pershing County, Nevada.
Advancing the Geological Model at Majuba Hill
Recent fieldwork completed at Majuba Hill has identified multiple high -grade
breccia pipes exposed at surface, materially enhancing the Company’s geological
understanding of the project and adding significant potential tonnage to the
evolving geologic model. To date, eight to ten breccia pipes have been identified,
with geological indicators suggesting that many more breccia pipes may exist
across the broader property.
These breccia pipes are interpreted to be genetically linked to deep, concealed
intrusive bodies, which are believed to play a key role in driving mineralization.
The identification and accurate modelling of these hidden intrusions is expected
to significantly improve drill targeting and exploration efficiency.
“Advancing Majuba Hill aligns directly with the United States’ growing focus on
securing reliable domestic sources of critical and strategic minerals,” said David
Greenway, President and CEO of Giant Mining. “Copper and silver are essential
to electrification, infrastructure, defense, and advanced manufacturing, and
Nevada remains one of the most mining-friendly and strategically important
2
jurisdictions in the country. By re-engaging ExploreTech and applying advanced
AI-driven subsurface modeling, we are enhancing our ability to efficiently target
mineralization and advance Majuba Hill in a disciplined, responsible manner. We
believe this work supports long-term U.S. economic strength, national security,
and the development of a resilient domestic critical-minerals supply chain.”

“Majuba Hill presents a compelling geological system where advanced
computational modeling can materially improve drill targeting, especially
following our success at Majuba Hill last year,” said Dr. Tyler Hall, President of
ExploreTech. “By integrating Giant Mining’s extensive historical dataset with our
Engine AI platform, we can evaluate thousands of possible subsurface scenarios
to identify the most probable locations of concealed intrusive sources associated
with breccia pipe development. This approach allows for more informed, efficient
drilling decisions and has the potential to significantly enhance exploration
success at Majuba Hill.”

AI-Driven Targeting Using Engine AI
Under the renewed engagement, and building on last year’s successful results,
ExploreTech will deploy its proprietary Engine AI and cloud -based computing
platform in collaboration with Giant Mining’s technical team to model the most
probable locations of buried intrusive sources associated with breccia pipe
development.
ExploreTech’s approach will include the generation of thousands of potential
subsurface geological models, allowing the Company to statistically evaluate the
most likely locations of high-grade breccia pipes that may be concealed beneath
post-mineral cover.
Key elements of the work program include:
• Refinement of the study area to focus on priority areas of interest identified
by Giant Mining
• Simulation of multiple potential intrusive source scenarios at depth
• Integration and analysis of Majuba Hill’s extensive historical exploration
database
• Targeting informed by resistivity data, which may highlight zones of
potassic alteration and disseminated mineralization consistent with
intrusive centers
Positioning for 2026 Drilling
ExploreTech is expected to deliver drill targeting results for the defined area of
interest by the end of March 2026, providing Giant Mining with advanced
technical inputs to support planning and execution of its upcoming drill program.
The Company believes that combining modern AI-driven subsurface modelling
with Majuba Hill’s extensive historical dataset represents a powerful approach to
unlocking additional value at the project.
About Exploration Technologies Inc.
ExploreTech’s AI approach is specifically designed to combine surface geology
and drilling results with computationally intensive remodelling of existing
geophysical datasets to optimize targeting of covered targets. The process
quickly generates thousands of solutions that cluster on the best fits between
the geological and geophysical data and then generates drillhole trajectories
designed to cut those clusters most effectively.
ExploreTech first combines the geological concept with AI geophysical simulation
to identify and locate where the source of a geophysical anomaly actually lies.
This is done by testing thousands of possible explanations (models) for
anomalies measured at the surface and selecting only those that closely match
4
the real-world geophysics. The selected models of the combined geology and
geophysics cluster around the most likely location of the anomaly. The program
then evaluates the clusters in three dimensions to determine the optimal drilling
trajectory to pierce as many of the target anomalies as possible. The entire
process can be rerun as drill results for specific targets, or additional geophysical
surveying, adds new information allowing improved vectoring to the best
mineralized parts of a given ore system. This use of AI to reveal and reinforce
target anomalies in existing geophysical datasets is a significant new exploration
tool and has already been applied in several cases, some are viewable
at www.exploretech.ai.

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
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.
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.
