Giant Mining hires Big Sky for Majuba Hill drilling

Executive Summary

• Giant Mining Corp. has engaged Big Sky Exploration LLC to conduct a 2026 maiden core diamond drilling program at its Majuba Hill copper, silver, and gold project in Nevada.
• The multi-phase exploration plan targets up to 10,000 feet (3,048 metres) of drilling, divided into two 5,000-foot phases, supplemented by underground mapping, surface sampling, and technical input from RESPEC Engineering.
• The program builds on over 89,000 feet of historical drilling and recent 2024-2025 exploration that identified elevated copper, silver, and gold values within hydrothermal-magmatic tourmaline matrix breccias.

Key Details

• Contractor & Payment: Big Sky Exploration LLC engaged for 2026 drilling; required advance payment secured to ensure timely Phase 1 start.
• Total Drilling Target: Up to 10,000 feet (3,048 metres) of multi-phase core diamond drilling.
• Phase 1 Scope: Up to 5,000 feet (1,524 metres) of core drilling, underground mapping and sampling, and additional surface sampling for follow-up drill targeting.
• Phase 2 Scope: Up to 5,000 feet (1,524 metres) of core drilling.
• Historical Data Base: Program guided by >100 previous drill holes totaling >89,000 feet of drilling.
• Recent Exploration Results (2024-2025): Identified numerous mineralized breccia bodies with elevated copper and silver values, plus intervals of anomalous gold. Mineralization is commonly associated with hydrothermal-magmatic tourmaline matrix breccias and breccia pipe margins.
