Giant Mining Launches 2026 Exploration Program at Majuba Hill Copper Project in Nevada

BFG · Price

Executive Summary

  • Giant Mining Corp. announced the commencement of its 2026 exploration season at the Majuba Hill Copper Project in Nevada, initiating systematic geological mapping and sampling to refine drill targets.
  • The company outlined a two‑phase diamond drilling program of up to 10,000 ft (≈3,048 m) – Phase 1 up to 5,000 ft and Phase 2 up to an additional 5,000 ft – supported by underground mapping, surface geochemical surveys, and ongoing core review.
  • Giant Mining confirmed that funding is secured for the next drilling phase and will provide further updates as results are generated.

Key Details

  • Project Overview: Majuba Hill hosts a large copper‑silver‑gold intrusive‑related system with ~89,000 ft of historical drilling across 9,684 acres in Pershing County, Nevada.
  • Exploration Activities Commenced: Detailed geological mapping, structural interpretation, surface and underground geochemical sampling; ongoing review of all core results to prioritize breccia‑hosted copper targets.
  • Planned Diamond Drilling Program (announced Jan 30 2026):
  • Phase 1: Up to 5,000 ft of diamond drilling, underground mapping & sampling, surface geochemical surveys.
  • Phase 2: Additional up to 5,000 ft of diamond drilling targeting high‑priority breccia bodies identified from 2024–2025 programs.
  • Historical Context: Prior exploration (2024‑2025) identified multiple mineralized breccia bodies with elevated Cu, Ag and anomalous Au values; several historic holes returned significant intercepts.
  • Funding Status: The company states it is “Fully Financed” for the next drilling phase, having secured necessary capital.
  • Qualified Person Review: Technical information reviewed and approved by E.L. “Buster” Hunsaker III, CPG 8137 (non‑independent consulting geologist).
  • Infrastructure & Jurisdiction: Project benefits from excellent road access, nearby power, and is located in Nevada – a top‑ranked mining jurisdiction (#1 Fraser Institute 2022).

Notable Quotes

“Launching the 2026 exploration season marks an exciting step forward for the Majuba Hill project,” said David Greenway, President and CEO. “Our current program is focused on refining high‑priority targets and preparing for the next phase of diamond drilling… we believe Majuba Hill represents a compelling opportunity to advance a significant copper system in Nevada.”
