Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5) has announced that they are advancing preparations for their upcoming drilling program at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit in Pershing County, Nevada. Read to find out how the new 3D model could position the company in the growing copper market.

Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5) has announced that they are advancing preparations for their upcoming drilling program at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit in Pershing County, Nevada.

The company has been updating its 3D geological model, while compiling new data, and reviewing cross-sections to gain deeper insights into the subsurface geology.

Recently, the team reviewed close to 25,000 meters of drilling data from previous campaigns stored at their Elko, Nevada, offices. This extensive data set is important to Giant's Exploration Target, estimated at 50 to 100 million tonnes, as outlined in the NI 43-101 report on the Giant Mining website.

Metals and Mining Overview

Critical minerals in the metal and mining sector, such as nickel, copper, and cobalt, are undergoing a transformation, given the recent global push for clean energy technology. Giant Mining Corp.'s recent advancements at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit in Nevada showcase the overall industry's push to both innovate and scale sustainable operations.

According to an August 20 Forbes article, "The time is right to innovate and scale sustainable operations to support the global energy transition." This call coincides with Giant Mining's Majuba Hill (and all around) efforts to refine its geological model. This approach is hoped to position the company as a major contributor to the worldwide demand for copper. As a key material in electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure, copper production seems poised to play a major role in those technologies moving forward.

Politico reported on August 29 that the Biden administration is considering price support mechanisms to backstop critical minerals projects in the United States. The proposed measure seeks to bolster production in the U.S. and reassure investors leery of fluctuating global prices resulting from oversupply in China. These measures could benefit domestic companies like Giant Mining, which are advancing critical mineral projects necessary for financing and scaling their operations.

Referred to as "red gold," copper is on the brink of a significant surge due to its usefulness in clean tech. According to a September 3 Katusa report, "copper's role in the global economy is critical," particularly as demand pivots towards electric vehicles and renewable energy. The article points out that while demand soars, "supply remains constrained," creating a "perfect storm" in the copper market.  Katusa went on to suggest that the stage may be set for a bullish copper future, with prices likely to increase sharply in the face of this supply-demand mismatch.

Mining.com highlighted on September 3, the urgency of addressing these supply chain vulnerabilities pointed out by Katusa, particularly in the critical minerals needed for the transition. The site quoted the International Energy Agency's estimate that an additional US$800 billion would be needed by 2040 in order to meet global climate targets. This is a major point when looking at the importance of Giant Mining's  efforts to optimize resources.

Giant's Catalysts

The recent completion of the 3D model and cross-section reviews is a critical phase in Giant Mining's strategy at Majuba Hill. ⁤CEO David Greenway emphasized the importance of this progress, stating in the news release, "The completion of our 3D modeling and cross-section reviews marks a pivotal step in our exploration strategy at Majuba Hill. ⁤⁤This groundwork is essential for guiding our upcoming drill program and optimizing resource development."

As pointed out in the company's investor presentation, Giant Mining has completed its drill programs spanning from 2020-2022. Moving forward, they state that "The 2024 exploration program has commenced with both RC and Core drilling." 

The progress Giant is making is supported by the results of an independent NI 43-101 Technical Report, which estimated a copper Exploration Target at Majuba Hill ranging from 50 million to 100 million tonnes, with grades between 0.15% Cu and 0.30% Cu. There is potential for a higher-grade zone with copper grades between 0.40% Cu and 0.80%. This anticipated find highlights the project's potential for significant resource discovery.

Majuba Hill's location is also a benefit. Strategically located in the north of Nevada, Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit in Pershing County not only has a solid infrastructure, with access roads, power, and nearby mining centers such as Elko, Reno, and Winnemucca. This infrastructure support, along with the well-placed location of the deposit, positions Giant for a future place in the expanding copper market.
