Giant Mining Corp. Contracts UAS Inc. to Conduct Underground LiDAR Survey at Majuba Hill, Nevada

BFG · Price

Executive Summary

  • Giant Mining Corp. has engaged Unmanned Aerial Services Inc. to perform a high‑resolution underground LiDAR survey of the Majuba Hill Copper‑Silver‑Gold Project in Nevada.
  • The survey, scheduled for completion in early April 2026, will map ~3,000 ft of drifting, 169 ft of development, and multiple historical stopes and raises, creating a digital twin to improve geological modeling and drill targeting.
  • Results will be integrated with existing datasets to refine the company’s up‑to‑10,000‑foot core drilling program planned for 2026.

Key Details

  • Contractor: Unmanned Aerial Services Inc. (UAS Inc.), a Canadian provider of underground drone and LiDAR services.
  • Scope of Survey:
  • ~3,000 ft of drifting in the Middle Adit
  • ~169 ft of development in the Upper Adit
  • One primary historical stope for scanning
  • Multiple adits (6–8 ft high) and narrow stopes (30‑40 in wide)
  • Historical raises/winzes generally <50 ft high (deeper winzes may be inaccessible)
  • Fieldwork Timing: First two weeks of April 2026.
  • Deliverables: High‑resolution 3D digital twin of accessible underground workings to support:
  • Structural interpretation of mineralized zones
  • Identification of historic mining orientations and controls
  • Correlation with surface geology and existing drill data
  • Enhanced targeting beneath/adjacent to historical workings
  • Integration Plan: LiDAR models will be combined with surface exploration, AI‑assisted geological targeting, and historic drilling (including Freeport Sulphur Company work from the 1940s) to refine drill collar locations for the upcoming program.
  • Planned Drill Program (2026): Up to 10,000 ft of diamond drilling targeting breccia‑hosted Cu‑Ag‑Au mineralization, extensions at depth, and zones beneath historic underground workings.
  • Funding: Company states it is “Fully Financed” for the next phase of Majuba Hill exploration.
  • Qualified Person Review: E.L. “Buster” Hunsaker III, CPG 8137 (non‑independent consulting geologist).

Notable Quotes

“The engagement of UAS Inc. to complete an underground LiDAR survey is intended to support the Company’s ongoing evaluation of the Majuba Hill project… The digitization of accessible historical underground workings … is expected to provide additional spatial data to inform geological interpretation and exploration planning.” – David Greenway, President & CEO, Giant Mining Corp.
