Giant Mining Expands 2026 Drill Program to 10,000 Feet Using AI-Assisted Geological Targeting at Majuba Hill
(TheNewswire)
VANCOUVER, BC — March 20, 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 that ithas updated its 2026 drill program to include two deep diamond drillholes within its previously announced up to 10,000-foot core drillprogram (the “DrillProgram”), designed to test high-prioritytargets at depth at the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project(“Majuba Hill”) in Pershing County, Nevada, using integrated geologicaldata in collaboration with A.I.-assisted targeting tools to supportgeological interpretation.
These deep drill holes are being strategicallypositioned based on integrated datasets including historical drilling,geological modeling, soil geochemistry, and emerging targetsidentified through ExploreTech A.I., as well as surface explorationwork completed during early 2026, which outlined a prospective brecciabody.
Mr. David Greenway commented: “Our understanding of the Majuba Hill system continues to advancethrough the integration of geological modeling, historical data, andA.I.-assisted targeting tools. These deep drill holes are designed totest priority zones identified through this data-driven approach,including areas beneath historical workings that remain underexploredby modern drilling, based in part on work conducted by previousoperators, including historic drilling by Freeport Sulfur in the1940’s and Mine Finders in the 1970’s. By combining advancedanalytics with core geological interpretation, we aim to better definethe scale and continuity of mineralization at depth.”
Deep Drill Hole 1: Targeting a newly defined breccia body identified fromrecent surface mapping and soil sampling programs conducted in late2025 (See News Release November 19,2025). Thistarget 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 depthbeneath historical underground mine workings,where limited modern drilling has been completed. This hole is plannedto evaluate extensions of known mineralized structures and assesspotential feeder zones associated with the broader intrusive coppersystem.

These additions are intended to further refine theCompany’s understanding of the vertical and lateral extent ofmineralization at Majuba Hill, while leveraging advanced targetingmethodologies through its collaboration with ExploreTech.
The Company cautions that exploration targets areconceptual in nature and insufficient exploration has been completedto define a mineral resource.
Majuba Hill is a large copper-silver-goldintrusive-related system with over 100 historical drill holes totalingapproximately 89,000 feet, and a long history of copper production andexploration.
Phase 1
Up to 5,000 feet of diamond drilling
Underground mapping and sampling
Surface geochemical surveys to refine drilltargeting
Phase 2
Up to 5,000 feet of additional drilling
The 2026 exploration and drill program are building onthe Company’s previous exploration work and drilling across thedistrict. Results from the Company’s2024–2025 exploration programs identified multiple mineralizedbreccia bodies associated with hydrothermal-magmatic tourmalinebreccias and breccia pipe margins, which represent priority targetsfor further drilling.

Furthermore, the Company is pleased to announce itsattendance at the annual meeting of the Ralph J. Roberts Center forResearch in Economic Geology (“CREG”), hosted by the University ofNevada, Reno at the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering inReno, Nevada.
E.L. “Buster” Hunsaker III,commented: “Participation in programs such as CREG provides anopportunity to engage with current academic and geological researchrelevant to mineral systems in Nevada. Ongoing collaboration andreview of regional geological studies support the refinement of ourexploration models at Majuba Hill, including the integration ofupdated interpretations related to alteration, structure, andmineralization.”
About Ralph J. Roberts Center forResearch in Economic Geology
The Ralph J. Roberts Center for Research in EconomicGeology (CREG) is a collaborative research program focused onadvancing the understanding of mineral deposit geology, includinggeochemistry, geophysics, and mineral system processes, with aparticular emphasis on Nevada-based deposits such as Carlin-type goldsystems. The program is a partnership between the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering at the University ofNevada, Reno, the Nevada mining industry, and the U.S. GeologicalSurvey, and is directed by Dr. Simon Jowitt.
Through the CREG program Alex Holmwood conductedresearch on the Majuba Hill magmatic-hydrothermal system and in 2023published his Master of Science Thesis entitled “Temporal evolutionof the Majuba Hill Cu-(Mo)- (Sn) deposit, Pershing County, Nevada”.His research included studies on the timing and relationships betweenintrusive phases, alteration, and mineralization. This work hascontributed to the geological framework used by the Company to supportongoing exploration activities at Majuba Hill.

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 existing infrastructure provides a significant advantage,offering substantial cost savings compared to more remoteprojects. |
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. |
