Giga Completes Land Swap with Copper Fox Metals

(Vancouver) - Mark Jarvis, CEO of Giga Metals Corp. (TSX.V - GIGA, OTCQX - HNCKF) announced today that a tenure swap has been completed with Copper Fox Metals, which has land on the western border of Giga's Turnagain project in northern B.C. A total of 1,910.28 hectares in a strip along the northwest of the Turnagain claims was traded to Copper Fox in exchange for 2,153.44 hectares towards the southwest portion of the Turnagain claims. (See map below).

"We are very happy to successfully complete this trade," said Mr. Jarvis. "The tenure we acquired covers ground that impinges on our most probable Tailings Management Facility location and also covers our second most likely mill site. The tenure swapped to Copper Fox is not proximal to our deposit and proposed infrastructure and, to the best of our knowledge, has no mineralization of interest."
