Giant Mining Corp. is set to commence a significant drilling initiative at its Majuba Hill copper, silver, and gold project in Pershing County, Nevada, signaling a pivotal moment in the company's exploration strategy. The upcoming drilling campaign, scheduled to begin March 24th, represents a targeted effort to further understand and potentially expand the project's mineral resources.
The planned drilling program will involve four core holes totaling 4,400 feet, with a minimum commitment of 2,600 feet. This approach provides flexibility to extend drilling depths up to 1,600 feet if promising mineralization is encountered. Using a track-mounted LF90D surface diamond coring drill, the company aims to explore the Southern Breccia Corridor and investigate deeper portions of high-grade copper zones beneath historic underground workings.
Majuba Hill's strategic significance lies in its location within Nevada, recognized as the top mining jurisdiction globally by the Fraser Institute. The 9,684-acre project boasts robust infrastructure, including proximity to major highways and essential resources like power and water. With 82,614 feet of previous drilling representing approximately $10.4 million in development costs, the site shows substantial potential for a significant copper, silver, and gold deposit.
The drilling campaign is particularly timely given the growing global demand for critical metals driven by renewable energy transitions and electrification efforts. Copper, a key component in electric vehicle manufacturing and renewable energy infrastructure, makes Majuba Hill a potentially crucial resource in supporting global decarbonization initiatives.
Preliminary geological surveys and IP measurements suggest the mineralization is open in multiple directions, indicating promising expansion potential. The company's focused approach targets high-grade breccia corridors, which could yield significant insights into the project's economic viability and mineral resource extent.
Giant Mining's CEO David Greenway emphasized the company's commitment to making 2025 a productive exploration year, highlighting the strategic importance of this drilling program in advancing the Majuba Hill project. The fully funded initiative underscores the company's confidence in the project's potential and its role in meeting emerging critical metals demand.
