[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 17, 2026 /CNW/ - Copper Giant Resources Corp. ("Copper Giant" or the "Company") (TSXV: CGNT) (OTCQB: LBCMF) (FRA: 29H0) is pleased to announce its 2026 Exploration Program, which is anticipated to be the Company's largest drilling campaign to date at the Mocoa Project, located in Putumayo, Colombia. Mocoa is a Jurassic age porphyry Cu-Mo deposit. Drilling to date has delineated continuous copper and molybdenum mineralization from surface to depth exceeding 1,000 vertical metres. This year's program comprises approximately 23,000 metres of high-impact, cost-effective directional drilling and is designed to significantly advance the project toward the level of technical confidence required to support a future Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") level evaluation. The primary objectives of the 2026 drill program are to expand the current Mineral Resource Estimate1 ("MRE") footprint, test new district-scale targets, and potentially upgrade Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated category.","length":1084,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Highlights of the proposed 2026 Exploration Plan: ","length":49,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"list","items":[{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"Approximately 23,000 metres of planned drilling, representing an increase of more than 80% compared to the 2025 drilling campaign, marking the Company's largest exploration program to date and supporting advancement toward PEA-level project evaluation.","length":261,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"Fully funded, balanced, flexible, and cost-effective exploration program, designed to dynamically allocate drill metres across multiple high-priority objectives:","length":166,"tagName":"p"}]}],"tagName":"ul","bulletedList":true,"length":427,"olType":false},{"type":"text","content":"1.
