Four core holes are planned for the follow-up to hole MHB-30.
"We are thrilled with the tremendous progress Giant Mining achieved at Majuba Hill in 2024, advancing what we firmly believe has the potential to become a significant domestic copper deposit for the United States," said David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining. "This project represents a major opportunity for our stakeholders and a step forward for global mineral development. Looking ahead, we are excited to launch our maiden 2025 drilling program at Majuba Hill. The company is currently accepting proposals from drill crews ready to begin operations at the earliest convenience."
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) Measures, Chain of Custody
The Company utilizes a QA/QC program using best industry practices at the Majuba Hill Project. The samples are placed in cloth or plastic sample bags and are transported from the Giant Mining secure warehouse to the ALS Labs Sample Prep Facility in Elko, Nevada. ALS then transports the prepared pulps to their analytical lab in North Vancouver, B.C.
Drill core samples are sawn in half lengthwise and one half is placed in labeled cloth sample bags. All samples are analyzed for copper, gold, silver, and 33 other elements. Gold is determined by ALS Labs method Au-AA23 which is a fire assay with an AAS finish on a 30-gram split. Copper, silver, and the remaining 31 elements are determined by ALS Labs method ME-ICP61 which is a four-acid digestion and ICP-AES assay. Approximately 5% of the submitted samples are drill duplicates and copper-gold-porphyry commercial standard reference material pulps. The sample rejects and remaining pulps will be retrieved from ALS Labs.
Some of Majuba Hill’s critically important characteristics are as follows:
Location: Nevada – The #1 mining jurisdiction on the planet according to the Fraser Institute
Project Size: 9,684 Acres (3,919 ha)
Infrastructure: The Majuba Hill property is 113 road km (70 miles) southwest of Winnemucca, Nevada, and 251 km (156 miles) northeast of Reno. Access is by well-maintained county roads from the Imlay, Nevada exit on U.S. Interstate 80, and traveling westward 23 miles. People, Roads, Power and Water are the basic elements when considering infrastructure and Majuba Hill already has a solid infrastructure foundation for building a large facility which will provide significant savings compared to more remote projects.
History: Historical Producer
Drilling: 83,925 feet of drilling to date. Approximate replacement value of drilling would be USD $10.4 Million in development costs.
Mineralization: The project shows indications of a potentially large Cu – Ag +/- Au mineralized body with many features in common with both large porphyry copper, silver, and gold projects.
Expandability: IP Survey, deep drilling, step out drilling all suggest expandability with expansion open in all directions.
Fully Financed: Secured funding for 2025 Drilling Campaign
