(Vancouver, B.C., Canada) Giga Metals Corp. (“Giga Metals” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: GIGA; OTCQB: GIGGF; FSE: BRR2) is pleased to announce the commencement of a property-scale geophysical survey program at its Turnagain Project, a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation.
“This program expands on the Company’s exploration focus to include copper, platinum and palladium mineralization,” said Scott Lendrum, CEO of Giga Metals. “The Attic Zone is a large, underexplored area adjacent to our nickel-cobalt resource. Given the scale of the system, and the depths at which we are evaluating, a combined MT/EM approach, is the next logical step to unlock the significant potential of the Attic Zone.”
Program Highlights:
• MT Survey: Three lines, 17 km total. Continues 2025 MT work mapping the geometry of the Turnagain ultramafic intrusive complex at depth. MT is effective in this setting as it exploits the resistivity contrast between the ultramafic and surrounding graphitic country rocks.
• EM Survey: 504 line-km of HeliSAM-EM, mapping subsurface conductivity to significantly greater depth than the 2004 AeroTEM survey. HeliSAM is a semi-airborne method capable of detecting conductors beyond the reach of conventional airborne EM.
• Property-Scale Coverage: Approximately 6.5 km by 4.5 km of multi-layered geophysical coverage across the intrusive complex, supporting a broader understanding of the system and more refined targeting.
This phase of work at Turnagain is fully funded and expected to be completed over the next several weeks, with results informing continued exploration of the Attic Zone into the fall of 2026.
About Giga Metals Corporation
Giga Metals Corporation’s core asset is the Turnagain Project, located in northern British Columbia, which contains one of the few significant undeveloped sulphide nickel and cobalt resources in the world. Turnagain is held in Hard Creek Nickel, a subsidiary owned jointly by Giga Metals Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation. The Pre-Feasibility Study was released in October 2023. The Turnagain ultramafic intrusive complex is also prospective for copper, platinum and palladium mineralization in the Attic Zone, an area adjacent to the known nickel resource.
