Giant Mining Corp. Launches Major Drilling Program at Nevada Copper Deposit

Giant Mining Corp. is set to commence an extensive diamond core drilling program at its Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit in Pershing County, Nevada, with drilling scheduled to begin March 24th, 2025. The company plans to drill four holes totaling 4,400 feet, focusing on the Southern Breccia Corridor and targeting deeper portions of high-grade copper mineralization. This initiative represents a significant step forward in understanding the project's mineral potential and advancing development of critical metals essential for modern technologies.

The drilling campaign will utilize a track-mounted LF90D surface diamond coring drill, featuring a telescopic dump mast specifically suited to Majuba Hill's site conditions. This versatile equipment allows for flexible drilling up to 1,600 feet per hole and minimizes potential operational downtime through its modular design. The technical approach demonstrates the company's commitment to efficient and effective exploration methodologies that maximize resource evaluation while controlling costs.

Majuba Hill, situated in Nevada—considered the top mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute—spans 9,684 acres and offers robust infrastructure. The project's strategic location 156 miles from Reno and proximity to essential resources like roads, power, and water makes it an attractive exploration site. The favorable regulatory environment and established infrastructure significantly reduce development risks and enhance the project's economic viability compared to more remote mining locations.

The upcoming drilling program builds upon previous successful exploration efforts, including core holes MHB-30 and MHB-31. By targeting deeper mineralized zones and breccia extensions, Giant Mining aims to further understand the project's significant copper, silver, and gold potential. With 82,614 feet of previous drilling representing approximately $10.4 million in development costs, the project demonstrates substantial exploration history. The site shows promising characteristics of a potentially large copper-silver-gold mineralized body, with mineralization currently identified as open in multiple directions.

David Greenway, Giant Mining's chief executive officer, emphasized the company's commitment to making 2025 its most productive year yet. The drilling campaign is part of a broader strategy to advance critical metal exploration, aligning with global initiatives like the Green New Deal that demand increased copper, silver, and gold for renewable energy infrastructure and electric vehicle technologies. This strategic alignment positions the company to potentially contribute to the growing supply needs for metals essential to the global transition toward cleaner energy systems and sustainable technologies.
