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 strategic initiative represents a significant step forward in advancing one of Nevada's promising copper projects.

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 selection of this advanced drilling technology demonstrates the company's commitment to efficient and effective exploration methodologies that can adapt to the complex geological conditions present at the site.

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. This favorable positioning within a well-established mining region provides significant advantages for project development and future operational efficiency, reducing potential logistical challenges that often hinder mining projects in more remote 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, suggesting significant expansion potential beyond currently defined resources.

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 timing is particularly significant given the growing global emphasis on transitioning to clean energy systems, which rely heavily on these essential metals for everything from wind turbines and solar panels to electric vehicle motors and charging infrastructure.
