Giant Mining Corp. has launched its 2025 core drilling program at the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project in Pershing County, Nevada, marking a significant step in advancing the company’s exploration efforts. The first drill hole, MHB-32, targets expansion of known copper mineralization zones and potential resource estimation.
The current drilling initiative follows up on high-grade copper mineralization discoveries from previous 2024 drill holes MHB-30 and MHB-31. The planned program includes up to four drill holes totaling 4,400 feet, with an initial commitment of at least 2,600 feet. Each hole is designed to reach depths of 1,100 feet, with potential extension to 1,600 feet depending on mineralization continuity.
A notable aspect of this drilling campaign is the collaboration with Exploration Technologies, which employed artificial intelligence and cloud computing to identify optimal drilling targets. By analyzing geophysical data and identifying breccia zones and low-resistivity anomalies, the companies have enhanced the precision of exploration efforts.
Majuba Hill presents compelling characteristics for mineral exploration, situated in Nevada—considered the top mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute. The 9,684-acre project boasts significant infrastructure advantages, including proximity to transportation routes and essential resources.
The current drilling program occurs against a favorable copper market backdrop, with prices around $5.12 per pound—significantly higher than recent years. This economic context amplifies the potential value of the project’s mineralization.
According to CEO David Greenway, the drilling represents a critical phase in unlocking shareholder value, with the project demonstrating potential for a substantial copper-silver-gold mineralized system. The exploration targets expanding the known mineral zones and potentially defining deeper extensions of the copper system.
Geologic assessments suggest the project shows promising indicators of a potentially large copper-silver-gold mineralized body, with existing drilling totaling 83,930 feet—representing approximately $10.4 million in development costs. Preliminary surveys indicate mineralization remains open in multiple directions, suggesting significant expansion potential.
The strategic approach of leveraging advanced technologies, combined with the project’s location in a mining-friendly jurisdiction, positions Giant Mining to potentially contribute to growing global demands for critical metals, particularly in support of green energy infrastructure and electric vehicle technologies.
