Giant Mining Corp. Plans Drilling Program at Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project
VANCOUVER, BC — February 2, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5 | CSE: BFG.WT.A | CSE: BFG.WT.B) plans a multi-phased drill program at its Majuba Hill Project in Pershing County, Nevada.
The company announced plans for up to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) of drilling as part of the program at the 9,684-acre copper-silver-gold project.
The drilling and exploration program is anticipated to include:
- Phase 1 – Up to 5,000-foot (1,524 meters) Core Drill Program
- Underground Mapping and Sampling
- Additional Surface Sampling for Additional Follow Up Drill Targeting
- Phase 2 – Up to 5,000-foot (1,524 meters) Core Drill Program
The program will be guided by over 100 previous drill holes across more than 89,000 feet of drilling and will include input from RESPEC Engineering.
Recent reviews of the 2024-2025 exploration results identified mineralized breccia bodies. Intercepts in multiple drill holes returned high-grade copper and silver, as well as long intervals of anomalous gold. The high-grade intercepts typically occur within hydrothermal-magmatic tourmaline matrix breccias and on the margins of tourmaline matrix breccia pipes.
Giant Mining President and CEO David Greenway said the drill and exploration program represents an important next step in advancing Majuba Hill. He added that the company’s focus is on systematically testing priority copper-silver targets informed by geological mapping, surface sampling, and the project’s extensive historical dataset.
Greenway also stated that Majuba Hill is a large, well-located system in a proven Nevada mining jurisdiction. The program is designed to refine the company’s understanding of the controls on mineralization and support continued, disciplined exploration. Greenway noted that with strong infrastructure, year-round access, and a phased approach to drilling, Giant Mining believes Majuba Hill offers compelling potential as the company works to unlock additional value for shareholders and contribute to America’s priority of securing a domestic, reliable supply of critical copper and silver.
Three breccia zones (Southern, Ball Park, and Northern Breccia Zones) will be targeted for drilling in the 2026 Phase 1 program. The breccia zones are outlined based on recent and historic drilling, 3D grade and geologic modeling, and surface geochemistry. The zones are located at the intersection of northwest and northeast structural corridors.
In the Southern Breccia Zone, detailed underground mapping and sampling is in progress to identify breccia margins in the accessible underground workings. Surface mapping is also in progress on the Ball Park Breccia and will soon commence in the Northern Breccia Zone to delineate the breccia margins.
Additional surface sampling and reconnaissance geologic mapping is planned for the DeSoto, Copper-Gold, Section 4 Targets. These targets have been outlined by the ongoing exploration of the company from property-wide soil geochemistry and geophysics. The recent breccia and project reviews have highlighted these areas for additional follow-up that may warrant drilling during Phase 2.
Giant has assembled a comprehensive exploration database from all drilling, geologic mapping, soil and rock geochemistry, and geophysics. The recent Breccia Study reviewed the 3D geology and mineralization modeling from the database, identifying numerous breccia bodies and mineralized breccias that are priority targets for the 2026 program. Phase 1 drilling in 2026 will comprise six to eight holes totaling up to 5,000 feet of core targeting breccia margins across three main tourmaline breccia zones with the goal of cutting both sides of the pipes into high-grade copper (+/-silver and gold).
One fence of holes is planned for the Ball Park Breccia Zone. Historic drill hole MF-02 intersected:
- 120 ft (36.6 m) @ 0.51% Cu and 21.7 g/t Ag from 260 ft to 380 ft (79.2-115.8 m).
MM-17, an adjacent core hole drilled:
- 94 ft (28.65 m) of tourmaline breccia from 302.8 to 396.8 ft (92.3-120.9 m)
One fence of holes is planned to test the Northern Breccia Zone. These are step out holes to test prominent outcropping tourmaline breccia and anomalous Cu, Mo, and silver in historic soil geochemical anomaly.
Majuba Hill is located in Nevada, USA, and encompasses 9,684 acres. The property is located 113 road kilometers (70 miles) southwest of Winnemucca, Nevada, and 251 kilometers (156 miles) northeast of Reno. It is accessible via well-maintained county roads from the Imlay, Nevada exit on U.S. Interstate 80, followed by a 23-mile drive west.
Approximately 89,395 feet of drilling to date with a rough replacement value of drilling USD $12.1 Million using current costs.
The project shows indications of a potentially large Cu – Ag +/- Au mineralized body.
The IP survey, deep drilling, and step-out drilling indicate significant expansion potential, with mineralization open in all directions.
The company has secured funding for its next phase of drilling at Majuba Hill.
Giant Mining is focused on identifying, acquiring, and advancing late-stage copper and copper/silver/gold projects to meet the growing global demand for critical metals. This demand is driven by initiatives like the Green New Deal in the United States and similar climate-focused programs worldwide, which require substantial amounts of copper, silver, and gold for electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and the modernization of clean and affordable energy systems.
The company’s flagship asset is the Majuba Hill Copper, Silver, and Gold District, located 156 miles (251 km) from Reno, Nevada. Majuba Hill benefits from a mining-friendly regulatory environment and strong local infrastructure. While still an exploration-stage asset, the geological footprint and scale of mineralization indicate that further work is clearly justified and that the system may host significant copper potential.
