Giant Mining Corp. has announced the successful completion of Hole MHB-32, drilled to a depth of 889.5 feet as the first hole of the 2025 diamond core drilling program at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper-Silver-Gold Deposit in Pershing County, Nevada. Following encouraging visual results from this initial drilling, the company has added a fifth hole to the program, specifically designed by Exploration Technologies to target a high-potential southern resistivity anomaly identified through its proprietary AI targeting system.
The primary objective of the Core Program remains expanding known zones of copper mineralization and advancing the project toward a new Mineral Resource Estimate. David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining, emphasized the strategic importance of this expansion, noting that "the timing has never been better" with copper prices near all-time highs and growing urgency to develop domestic U.S. copper sources. The additional hole represents a critical step in unlocking further value for shareholders and advancing Majuba Hill toward its true potential.
Exploration Technologies' AI approach combines surface geology and drilling results with computational remodeling of existing geophysical datasets to optimize targeting of covered mineral deposits. The process generates thousands of solutions that cluster on the best fits between geological and geophysical data, then creates drillhole trajectories designed to intersect these clusters most effectively. This methodology represents a significant advancement in mineral exploration technology, as detailed at https://www.exploretech.ai.
Big Sky Exploration, LLC of Eureka, Nevada completed drilling of Hole MHB-32 and has mobilized the drill rig to a new pad for Hole MHB-33. The core samples from MHB-32 are being transported to Giant Mining's secured warehouse facility in Elko, Nevada for systematic sawing before being sent to ALS Group USA, Corp. for comprehensive analysis including assays for copper, silver, gold, and other trace elements.
The 2025 Core Program builds upon high-grade copper mineralization intersected in breccias from the 2024 core holes MHB-30 and MHB-31, extending high-grade copper zones below historic underground workings. The company maintains a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control program using industry best practices, with samples analyzed using ALS Labs methods Au-AA23 for gold determination and ME-ICP61 for copper, silver, and other elements.
Majuba Hill's significance is underscored by its location in Nevada, ranked #1 in the Fraser Institute's 2022 Annual Survey of Mining Companies, and its existing infrastructure foundation that provides significant advantages over more remote projects. With 83,930 feet of drilling completed to date and mineralization open in all directions, the project shows indications of a potentially large copper-silver-gold mineralized body with substantial expansion potential.
