2020 Overview
The year 2020 laid the groundwork for Giant Mining Corp.'s intensified exploration activities at Majuba Hill. With the completion of advanced geophysical surveys and strategic core drilling, the Company identified multiple zones of high-grade copper, silver, and gold mineralization. Key highlights include the discovery of a new copper porphyry center and substantial expansions in the Company's soil geochemistry coverage, as detailed in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 1.
| Activity Type | Details | Results |
|---|---|---|
| Soil | ||
| Geochemistry | ||
| Expansion | Expanded coverage area for better resolution of mineralization. | Identified new zones with high Cu and Ag potential. |
| Deep Core Drilling | Initiation of deep core drilling to test mineralization depth. | Confirmed extension of copper porphyry at depth. |
| Geophysical Surveys | Conducted drone magnetic survey to outline large intrusive complexes. | Outlined new copper intrusive centers significant for exploration. |

Table 1: Summary of 2020 Geological Activities and Findings at Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit
Figure 1: Historic exploration data includes drilling, surface rock chip sampling, and surface soil sampling.
2021 Developments
In 2021, the Company's geological team focused on deepening geological understanding and expanding the known mineralized zones. The integration of different drilling techniques and the extensive private land led to the discovery of additional copper oxide zones and the confirmation of the deposit's depth extension. Noteworthy progress includes the successful drilling of two deep core holes, which continued to reveal the deposit's potential at greater depths.
Core holes MHB-20 (1017 ft/310 meters) and MHB-22 (1802.5/549.4 meters) discovered the previously unknown granodiorite and diorite intrusive. The rhyolite intrusive, which hosts mineralization in the historic mine area at Majuba was found in cross-cutting relationship with the granodiorite and diorite. Multiple overlapping porphyry alteration events were noted throughout the granodiorite core. In addition to widespread propylitic and phyllic alteration their appears to be extensive potassic alteration and magnetite bearing quartz veining. Additionally, a second type of tourmaline has been noted. The relationship of the granodiorite and the rhyolite intrusive combined with the widespread IP geophysics indicate very high potential for a large, copper porphyry at Majuba Hill.
MHB-22 intersected anomalous copper at 1704 feet (519.3 meters) with 70 feet (21.3 meters) greater than 100 ppm.
2022 Achievements
The year 2022 was transformative for Majuba Hill, marked by the completion of the most ambitious drilling program to date and the initiation of a comprehensive long-term environmental planning program. The Company reported the longest intercepts of copper mineralization ever drilled at Majuba Hill, alongside significant findings of silver, gold, and molybdenum. These results have been crucial to refining the Company's exploration targets, as shown in Figure 2 and Table 2.
Result Highlights
MHB-27: 1136 ft (346.3 m) @ 0.25% CuEQ starting at 710 ft (216.4 m) including:

2023 Milestones
The year 2023 was transformative, Giant Mining Corp. has not only expanded its drilling efforts but also significantly enhanced the geological map of Majuba Hill. These efforts have resulted in a clearer understanding of the deposit's mineralization controls and the potential for further expansion of copper mineralization. The ongoing work continues to underscore the robustness of Majuba Hill as a leading copper, silver, and gold district.
The Report was authored by Jeffrey M. Bickel, C.P.G., Senior Geologist, RESPEC Company LLC, Reno, NV ("RESPEC"). The full Report dated June 20, 2023 is available on the Company's website and the Company's SEDAR+ Issuer profile at SEDAR+ Website.
The Nevada Project contains historic underground mines that produced 2.8 million pounds of copper. In the NI43-101 Report: "Technical Report for the Majuba Hill Copper Project, Pershing County, Nevada, USA", Jeffrey M. Bickel, C.P.G. described the copper mineralization and developed a 3D block model that delineated an Exploration Target of 50 million tonnes to 100 million tonnes of copper mineralization ranging from $0.15\%$ Cu to $0.30\%$ Cu, with potential for a higher-grade zone of 10 million tonnes to 20 million tonnes
grading between $0.40\%$ Cu and $0.80\%$ Cu. The ranges of tonnage and grade of the exploration target are conceptual in nature and could change as the proposed exploration activities are completed.
This outlines an initial and significantly expandable potential of as much as 660 million pounds of copper.
An exploration corridor has been identified as a key focus area, integrating insights from both recent and historical drilling, geochemical analysis, and geophysical surveys. Core drilling has revealed a substantial oxide zone that outcrops at the surface and reaches depths of up to 1,804 ft. (550 m). Notably, this zone overlies deeper segments where native copper indicates significant mineral enrichment.
Exploration Program 2024
Giant Mining Corp. is allocating funds from the recently concluded Private Placement towards advancing the Company's exploration and development initiatives, in alignment with the recommendations provided in the June 2023 NI43-101 report. The Company has committed to drilling 16 reverse circulation (RC) holes and two shallow core holes, which are designed to infill and expand the mineral potential (Figure 3). The Company's exploration efforts will be further enhanced by the drilling of two deep core holes, each reaching a depth of 3,500 ft. (1,066m). This significant investment in deep-core drilling is crucial for accurately determining the vertical extent of the mineralization, significantly enhancing the company's resource evaluation efforts.
Figure 3: Giant Mining grade domains with recent, historic and planned drilling.
Additionally, Giant Mining Corp. is set to commence a comprehensive metallurgical study to improve the understanding of the ore's characteristics and processing efficiencies at Majuba Hill. A sequential copper analysis program will provide the foundational metallurgical understanding of the copper deposit utilizing library of existing pulps and core from earlier drilling. This program will cover the breadth and depth of the deposit and optimize recovery methods and enhance the overall efficiency and environmental compliance of the mining process.

All related party transactions are in the normal course of operations and have been measured at the agreed to amounts, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Fair Values
Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash is carried at fair value using a level 1 fair value measurement.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is in its cash. The risk in cash is managed through the use of a major financial institution which has a high credit quality as determined by rating agencies.
(c) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it does not have any assets or liabilities that are affected by changes in interest rates.
(d) Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate in value as a result of movements in foreign exchange rates. As at September 30, 2024, the Company has no significant financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency; however, the Company has exploration and evaluation assets in the U.S. with mineral property option agreement obligations denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange rate contracts to mitigate this risk. As at September 30, 2024, the Company is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange rate risk.
(e) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company requires funds to finance its business development activities. In addition, the Company needs to raise equity financing to carry out its exploration programs. There is no assurance that financing will be available or, if available, that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
(f) Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company's ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On July 11, 2019, a Notice of Civil Claim was filed with the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking certification for a class action against the Company (the "Action").
