Copper Giant Resources Corp. announced the engagement of Frank Wright as independent metallurgical consultant and the selection of SGS Canada ("SGS") as the certified and independent company to execute the next phase of metallurgical testing at its Mocoa copper-molybdenum porphyry project in Putumayo, Colombia. Mocoa is a Jurassic age porphyry Cu-Mo deposit where drilling to date has delineated continuous copper and molybdenum mineralization from surface to depth exceeding 1,000 vertical metres.
This is a critical parameter for economic evaluation. The newly initiated program builds directly on that foundation and expands the scope toward integrated, PEA-level metallurgical definition.lection of ~675-kilograms has been prepared from representative crushed assay rejects distributed across the current Mineral Resource Estimate1 ("MRE") footprint. This staged and disciplined approach is consistent with industry's best practices for large-scale porphyry systems. Frank Wright has been engaged to oversee the design, supervision, and interpretation of this next-stage metallurgical program.
His experience in copper porphyry systems and mineral processing evaluation enhances the integration between geology, metallurgy, and engineering assumptions. Following review of multiple proposals, SGS was selected as the certified and independent metallurgical laboratory based on technical capability, international experience in copper-molybdenUM systems, and laboratory capacity. The program will be conducted at SGS's Canadian metallurgical facilities at Burnaby, BC and will be managed by PhD Jesse Ding (Senior Metallurgist).
As outlined in the Company's 2026 Exploration Plan, Copper Giant is advancing drilling, geotechnical, hydrogeological, and metallurgical programs in parallel to systematically de-risk the Mocoa Project. While drilling expands and upgrades the resource base, this metallurgical phase ensures that processing assumptions evolve alongside geological confidence. The integration of these workstreams is intended to position Mocoa for a disciplined transition into PEA-level project evaluation.
Through its Metallurgy and Consulting division, SGS provides bankable metallurgical services for scoping, pre-feasibility, and feasibility studies across a wide range of commodities. Its global laboratory network offers advanced mineralogical characterization, comminution testing, flotation development, and process optimization services.
