VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 9, 2026 /CNW/ -- Copper Giant Resources Corp. ("Copper Giant" or the "Company") (TSXV: CGNT) (OTCQX: CGNRF) (FRA: 29H0) is pleased to announce that, as of today, its common shares have graduated from trading on the OTCQB Market to the OTCQX Best Market ("OTCQX") under the ticker symbol of "CGNRF". The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") under the symbol "CGNT".

Upgrading to the OTCQX Market is an important step for companies seeking to provide transparent trading for their U.S. investors. For companies listed on a qualified international exchange, streamlined market standards enable them to utilize their home market reporting to make their information available in the U.S. To qualify for OTCQX, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.

U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on www.otcmarkets.com.

"Trading on OTCQX marks an important step forward for Copper Giant as we continue to strengthen our presence in the U.S. capital markets," stated Ian Harris, CEO of Copper Giant. "This milestone supports our strategy to broaden our shareholder base, improve accessibility for U.S. investors and increase the Company's visibility and liquidity. As we continue to advance Mocoa, one of the largest undeveloped copper-molybdenum resources in the Americas, expanding our reach in the U.S. is particularly timely as demand for copper continues to grow against a backdrop of constrained new supply and a limited pipeline of large-scale development projects. We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders as we work to unlock the value of Mocoa."
