GIGA METALS JOINS MINISTER WILKINSON'S TRADE MISSION TO JAPAN

Giga Metals Corp. will join Canada's minister of Natural Resources, Jonathan Wilkinson, on the upcoming trade mission to Japan on Jan. 16 to Jan. 19, 2023.

Martin Vydra, Giga's president, will join Natural Resources Canada's delegation and the minister in meetings with Japanese officials, companies and organizations. Giga Metals has been invited to participate in a Canada-Japan networking reception organized in co-operation with the embassy of Canada in Japan and invest in Canada, and in a critical minerals roundtable.

"Giga Metals is honoured to be invited on Mr. Wilkinson's mission to Tokyo," said Mr. Vydra. "We already have strong ties with Japan thanks to our strategic partnership with Mitsubishi Corp., and we are looking forward to meeting more potential partners in Japan and introducing them to the Turnagain nickel/cobalt project."

This mission aims to deepen bilateral co-operation in the areas of climate leadership, clean energy and natural resources. Significant opportunities exist in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly with Japan, to expand trade and investments ties with Canada to support energy security and transition imperatives.
