(via TheNewswire)

VANCOUVER, BC — April 22, 2026 - TheNewswire — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) announces that it intends to change the Company’s name from “Giant Mining Corp.” to “Copper One Resources Corp.” (the “Name Change” ), reflecting the Company’s strategic evolution and expanded focus on copper exploration and development.  

Copper is widely recognized as a critical metal underpinning global economic growth and the transition to a low-carbon future. Its essential role in electrification, renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and infrastructure development continues to drive strong long-term demand fundamentals. The Company believes that aligning its corporate identity with this key commodity better positions it to capitalize on emerging opportunities within the copper sector and to communicate its strategic direction more clearly to investors and stakeholders.

David C. Greenway, President and CEO of Giant Mining Corp., commented, “The proposed name change to Copper One Resources Corp. marks an important step in aligning our corporate identity with our strategic focus on copper, a metal that is fundamental to global economic development and the ongoing energy transition. As demand for copper continues to accelerate, we believe this repositioning enhances our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Share Consolidation

Concurrently with the Name Change, the Company intends to consolidate its common shares on a ten (10) for one (1) basis (the “Share Consolidation” ). The Company currently has 237,189,466 common shares issued and outstanding.  Following the proposed Share Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 23,718,947 common shares issued and outstanding prior to the treatment of fractional shares . No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Share Consolidation, and any fractional shares will be rounded in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE” ) .

The Share Consolidation and Name Change were approved by the board of directors of the Company but remain subject to the approval of the CSE.  The Company will issue a further news release upon receiving CSE approval, announcing the effective date of the Name Change and Consolidation.  

Upon completion of the Name Change, the Company’s common shares will continue to trade under the existing symbol “BFG” and will be assigned new CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

Registered holders of physical share certificates will receive a letter of transmittal by mail advising that the Name Change and Consolidation has been effected and will contain instructions on how to exchange share certificates evidencing pre-consolidated Common Shares for new share certificates representing the number of post-consolidated Common Shares to which they are entitled. No action is required for shares held by non-registered holders (shareholders who hold their shares through an intermediary) and outstanding Direct Registration System ( “DRS” ).

The Company believes the Name Change and strategic repositioning will enhance its visibility within the copper sector and better align with broader market interest in critical minerals supporting electrification and energy transition initiatives.
