Giant Mining begins 2026 exploration at Majuba Hill

BFG · Price

Executive Summary

  • Giant Mining Corp. has launched its 2026 exploration program at the Majuba Hill Copper Project in Nevada, initiating systematic geological mapping, structural interpretation, and geochemical sampling to refine drill targets.
  • The company plans a multiphase diamond drilling program of up to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) to further evaluate copper-silver mineralization across key breccia-hosted targets.
  • The 2026 program builds on historical drilling and 2024-2025 exploration results that identified multiple mineralized breccia bodies with elevated copper, silver, and locally anomalous gold values.

Key Details

  • Project Location & Size: Majuba Hill Copper Project, Pershing County, Nevada; covers approximately 9,684 acres.
  • Historical Drilling: Over 100 historical drill holes totaling approximately 89,000 feet.
  • 2026 Exploration Activities: Systematic geological mapping, structural interpretation, surface and underground geochemical sampling, and continuous review of core results.
  • Planned Drilling Program: Up to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) of diamond drilling, divided into two phases.
  • Phase 1 Scope: Up to 5,000 feet of diamond drilling, underground mapping and sampling, and surface geochemical surveys to refine drill targeting.
  • Phase 2 Scope: Up to 5,000 feet of additional drilling.
  • Target Geology: Hydrothermal breccia system with priority targets including breccia-hosted copper, hydrothermal-magmatic tourmaline breccias, and breccia pipe margins.
  • Historical & Recent Results: Multiple mineralized breccia bodies identified; historical and 2024-2025 drill intercepts returned elevated copper and silver values with locally anomalous gold.
  • Infrastructure: Excellent road access and nearby power available.
  • Quality Control: Analytical work performed by ALS USA Inc. (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited); includes certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates.
  • Qualified Person: E.L. (Buster) Hunsaker III, CPG 8137, independent consulting geologist.

Notable Quotes

  • "Launching the 2026 exploration season marks an exciting step forward for the Majuba Hill project," said David Greenway, president and chief executive officer of Giant Mining. "Majuba Hill hosts a large hydrothermal breccia system with demonstrated copper-silver mineralization from prior drilling. Our current program is focused on refining high-priority targets and preparing for the next phase of diamond drilling. With a strong technical team on site and clear exploration targets identified, we believe Majuba Hill represents a compelling opportunity to advance a significant copper system in Nevada."
