VANCOUVER, BC — TheNewswire - August 26, 2024 — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that all the core from Hole MHB-30 (“MHB-30”) which is the first hole of the diamond core drilling program (the “Core Program”) at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit (“Majuba Hill”) in Pershing County, Nevada has been delivered to ALS Global Services (“ALS Labs”) in Elko, Nevada, to begin the analytical process.

Recent comprehensive reviews by the Giant Team which included renowned geologist Leo Hathaway (Member of the Advisory Board), noted important mineralization controls during the surface traverses of the Majuba Hill drill sites and while examining the underground workings. Distinct magmatic-hydrothermal breccias were observed controlling high-grade copper in the >0.5% Cu domain from the 2023 Block Model (See NI43-101 Report available at giantminingcorp.com).

The recent core drilling intersected the magmatic-hydrothermal breccia bodies in core hole MHB-30 and MHB-31, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2. Drill hole MHB-31 drilled in the gap zone between whittle pits 13 and 43 as shown on Figure 3 and Figure 4.

The Team also reviewed the nearly 25,000 meters of drilling at the company’s core shed and offices in Elko, Nevada that makes up the basis for the Exploration Target 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 tonnes. (See NI43-101 Report available at giantminingcorp.com).

“With 82,000 Feet of previous drilling at Majuba Hill, the completion of two holes totaling X,X00 feet of 2024 drilling and an additional 16 reverse circulation holes planned, Giant Mining’s Management believes we are on our way to delineating the next great American copper supply in the number one mining friendly jurisdiction on the Planet. It is important to note that both the MHB 30 and 31 drill holes were terminated in mineralization as the drill crew ran out of piping, meaning the opportunity remains to expand the size and potential of this deposit past the 1,000 foot level. We are excited by the progress of our drilling program at Majuba Hill, particularly with assays pending and a team that is fully engaged to take the Majuba Hill Deposit to the next stage of development," said David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining. "We look forward to receiving the lab results from ALS Global Services, which will further our understanding of the deposit and its potential to become a future domestic supply of copper for United States of America."

Leo Hathaway, Advisor to Giant Mining, commented “It is encouraging to see these two holes intersect breccias over wider intervals than predicted, and it is exciting to await results from these mineralized bodies. As the geology model evolves Buster and his team are able to target holes more and more effectively to find better grade and continuity”.

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 plastic 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.
