Site Visit

The company's executive team, alongside the geological technical team led by Buster Hunsaker and a group of consultants, will be heading to the Majuba Hill Copper Project in Pershing County, Nevada, USA, in the coming weeks. This site visit is a critical step in planning out the next phases of exploration. The teams will conduct thorough assessments, gather data, and strategize the most effective approaches to maximize the project's potential. Their goal is to ensure a comprehensive and detailed plan that aligns with Giant Mining's commitment to excellence and sustainable practices in resource development.

Copper Market Update

Copper prices have surged by 17.48% YTD in 2024, driven by fundamental factors and a tightening demand-supply environment. The persistent deficit in the copper concentrate market, exacerbated by ongoing mine disruptions, continues to exert upward pressure on prices. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting cycle could unleash pent-up demand, further boosting copper's value. Long-term, the energy transition is expected to become a significant tailwind for copper, sustaining its meteoric rise. These combined factors have propelled copper prices to new heights, reflecting a robust and dynamic market landscape. Below is a graph illustrating the year-to-date performance of copper. 1
