Giant Mining Corp. Engages Big Sky Exploration for Up to 10,000 Feet of Multi-Phase 2026 Drilling at Majuba Hill, Nevada
(TheNewswire)
VANCOUVER, BC — February 27, 2026– TheNewswire — 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 ithas engaged Big Sky Exploration, LLC (“Big Sky”) forits 2026 Maiden Core diamond drilling program (the “Core Program”)at the Majuba Hill Copper Deposit (“Majuba Hill”), acopper, silver, and gold project in Pershing County, Nevada.
Big Sky, which operates throughout the western UnitedStates, provided high-quality core drilling services at Majuba Hill in2024 and 2025. The Company has made the requiredadvance payment to ensure a timely start for thePhase 1 Core Program.

“We are pleased to secure theservices of Big Sky Exploration, whose experienced crews havedemonstrated safe, efficient, and cost-effective drilling performanceat Majuba Hill,” said David Greenway, President & CEO of GiantMining Corp. “With a refined geological model, secured funding, anda clearly defined drill strategy, we are positioned to advancesystematic exploration at our Nevada copper project. Majuba Hill is aU.S.-based copper and critical metals project aligned with the WhiteHouse’s focus on strengthening domestic critical mineral supplychains and enhancing U.S. resource security. Our team is focused ondisciplined execution of the 2026 drill program as we continue toevaluate the broader potential of the system.”
As previously announced on January30th,2026, the Company has planned an upto 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) of drilling in a multi phased diamonddrill program.
The multi phased drilling and exploration Program isanticipated to include
Phase 1 – Up to 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) core drillprogram
Underground mapping and sampling
Additional Surface Sampling for additional follow updrill targeting
Phase 2 – Up to 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) core drillprogram
The drilling and exploration program will be guided bymore than 100 previous drill holes totaling over 89,000 feet ofdrilling and will include input from RESPEC Engineering. Reviews ofthe 2024–2025 exploration results, including drilling, surfacegeological mapping, and geochemical sampling, have identified numerousmineralized breccia bodies (See NR dated January 16,2024). Drillintercepts returned elevated copper and silver values, as well asintervals of anomalous gold. Mineralization is commonly associatedwith hydrothermal-magmatic tourmaline matrix breccias and the marginsof breccia pipes. Further drilling is required to determine the extentand continuity of mineralization.
Alignment With U.S. Domestic SupplyObjectives
Majuba Hill is in the exploration stage, and theCompany believes that the discovery-driven, staged exploration, anddrilling programs provide a technically sound framework for advancingthe project which is aligned with U.S. critical-mineralpriorities.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control(“QA/QC”)
Historical drilling results referenced herein werepreviously disclosed by the Company in accordance with NationalInstrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.Analytical work was performed by ALS USA Inc. ("ALS"), anISO/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 and verified the data underlying thehistorical results referenced in this release.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical information contained inthis news release has been reviewed and approved by E.L. “Buster”Hunsaker III, CPG 8137, a non-independent consulting geologist who isa “Qualified Person” as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 – Standardsof Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI43-101”).
Majuba Hill’s critically importantcharacteristics are as follows:
Location: | Nevada, USA — a globally top-ranked miningjurisdiction, ranked #1 in the Fraser Institute’s 2022 Annual Surveyof 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 (156miles) northeast of Reno. It is accessible via well-maintained countyroads from the Imlay, Nevada exit on U.S. Interstate 80, followed by a23-mile drive west. People, roads, power, and water are fundamentalconsiderations for infrastructure, and Majuba Hill already benefitsfrom a strong foundation in all these areas. This existinginfrastructure provides a significant advantage, offering substantialcost savings compared to more remote projects. |
History: | Historical Producer |
Drilling: | Approximately 89,395 feet of drilling to date. Roughreplacement value of drilling USD $12.1 Million using currentcosts. |
Mineralization: | The project shows indications of a potentially large Cu– Ag +/- Au mineralized body with many features in common with bothlarge porphyry copper, silver, and gold projects; however, furtherdrilling is required to determine the extent and grade ofmineralization. |
Expandability: | The IP survey, deep drilling, and step-out drillingindicate significant expansion potential, with mineralization open inall directions. |
Fully Financed: | The Company has secured funding for its next phase ofdrilling at Majuba Hill. |
About Giant Mining Corp.
Giant Mining is focused on identifying, acquiring, andadvancing late-stage copper and copper/silver/gold projects to meetthe growing global demand for critical metals. This demand is drivenby initiatives like the Green New Deal in the United States andsimilar climate-focused programs worldwide, which require substantialamounts of copper, silver, and gold for electric vehicles, renewableenergy infrastructure, and the modernization of clean and affordableenergy systems.
The Company’s flagship asset is the Majuba HillCopper, Silver, and Gold District, located 156 miles (251 km) fromReno, Nevada. Majuba Hill benefits from a mining-friendly regulatoryenvironment and strong local infrastructure. While still anexploration-stage asset, the geological footprint and scale ofmineralization indicate that further work is clearly justified andthat the system may host significant copper potential.
With a strengthened technical framework, supportivejurisdiction, and funded exploration program, Giant Mining is focusedon advancing Majuba Hill through systematic drilling and technicalevaluation. The Company remains committed to responsible exploration,technical transparency, and creating long-term shareholder valuethrough discovery-focused exploration.
