VANCOUVER, BC — TheNewswire - September 12, 2024 — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is preparing for the planned 16-hole reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling program at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit (“Majuba Hill”), a copper, silver, and gold project located in Pershing County, Nevada.
As previously announced, the Company has engaged Boart Longyear Limited (“Boart Longyear”), a global leader in drilling services, based in Elko, NV, to conduct this significant drilling program. The RC drilling campaign is designed to drill up to 12,800 feet (3,901 meters) across 16 strategic holes. The contract with Boart Longyear allows for flexibility in the execution of the project, enabling the Company to adjust the scope of the drilling as needed to achieve optimal results.
David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining Corp., stated, “Engaging Boart Longyear for our RC drill program at Majuba Hill is a crucial step in advancing our exploration efforts. This program is designed to build on the results of our recent core drilling and provide the necessary data to enhance our resource estimates. We are eager to see the potential insights and results this program will yield as we continue to advance the Majuba Hill project.”
Drilling will focus on the drill targets which are designed to infill and expand the mineral potential at Majuba Hill. This drill program is laid out to expand known mineral zones and identify new areas of mineralization. By concentrating on these specific targets, the drilling program will provide the additional drill holes needed to expand and verify the continuity of the copper mineralization.
This drilling is essential for refining the geological model of Majuba Hill, significantly enhancing Giant Mining’s resource evaluation efforts. The data collected from this program will enable the company to update its resource estimates with greater precision, ultimately contributing to the advancement and economic assessment of the project. By exploring and defining the mineral potential, the Company aims to optimize the development strategies for Majuba Hill, aligning with our commitment to creating shareholder value through meticulous exploration and resource management.
Furthermore, assays are currently pending for MHB-30 one of the recently completed holes in the core drilling program. MHB-30 core samples have been sent to ALS Global Services ("ALS Labs") in Elko, Nevada, for complete assaying. MHB-31 core is in the final stages of sawing at Woods Process Services in preparation for sending the samples to ALS Labs for analysis.

About Giant Mining Corp.
Giant Mining Corp. is engaged in the identification, review and acquisition of latter stage copper and copper/silver/gold assets. This is in direct response to the growing worldwide demand and lack of supply for precious metals fueled by the Green New Deal in the US and most other developed nations with similar programs aimed at addressing climate change. Such programs are heavily reliant on silver, gold and especially copper to produce Electric Vehicles and other renewable power sources, as well as building infrastructure to provide clean and affordable electricity.
The flagship project is the Majuba Hill copper, silver and gold District located 156 miles (251 km) outside Reno, Nevada, USA. Management has been mandated to focus on safe, mining friendly jurisdictions where government regulations are supportive of mining operations.
