Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5) announced that it has advanced project costs totaling US$282,696 ahead of its Q1 2025 drill program at the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Porphyry Deposit in Pershing County, Nevada. The company allocated these funds to maintain a Nevada reclamation permit bond, pay federal claim holding fees, renew private mineral leases, and cover annual property lease costs and liability insurance. This financial preparation reflects Giant Mining’s commitment to advancing exploration efforts at Majuba Hill, a project that CEO David Greenway describes as “a major opportunity for stakeholders and a step forward for global mineral development.”

Majuba Hill, located in Nevada — a jurisdiction ranked as the world’s top mining region by the Fraser Institute — is known for its promising copper, silver, and gold potential. The property encompasses 9,684 acres (3,919 hectares) with excellent infrastructure, including county-maintained roads, proximity to a major highway, and nearby power and water access. Notably, the project shows features consistent with large porphyry copper systems, offering expansion potential in all directions.

The release says that the 2025 drill campaign will include four core holes designed to follow up on previous results from the 2024 diamond core program.

Giant Mining employs a rigorous quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program at Majuba Hill, adhering to National Instrument 43-101 standards. Drill core samples are analyzed for copper, gold, silver, and 33 other elements using advanced methods, including fire assays for gold and four-acid digestion for other metals. Approximately 5% of the samples are duplicates, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Copper and Silver: Critical Metals Driving Global Innovation and Sustainability

On January 20, Reuters reported on geopolitical risks affecting the copper market, including the potential for U.S. tariffs on copper imports. Goldman Sachs estimated a 50% probability of a 10% tariff being implemented by the end of Q1, which could create uncertainty in global supply chains and influence copper prices.

John Newell of John Newell & Associates described Giant Mining as “one of the most compelling opportunities in the junior mining sector.”

In a report dated January 21, Technavio projected the global copper market to grow by US$70 billion between 2024 and 2028, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.78%.

The report emphasized copper’s critical role in electronics, construction, transportation, and renewable energy, driven by its unique properties like electrical conductivity and heat transfer efficiency. Strong demand from the Asia-Pacific region and ongoing technological innovations were noted as key growth drivers.

The following day, Richard Mills, writing for Ahead of the Herd, highlighted silver’s dual role as a monetary and industrial metal. He pointed to robust industrial demand in solar energy, electronics, and electric vehicles, with the Silver Institute reporting a structural deficit of 215.3 million ounces in 2024. This marked the fourth consecutive year of deficits, driven in part by a 20% increase in demand from the solar photovoltaic market.

Also, on January 22, FX Empire noted that silver prices remained technically bullish but faced challenges from weak industrial demand in China and potential U.S. policy changes affecting renewable energy projects. Stronger demand from China and the solar sector was identified as critical for silver’s continued upward momentum.

SMM, on January 23, reported dramatic volatility in copper prices during 2024, with record highs on the Shanghai Futures Exchange in May. Tight copper ore supplies and production constraints contributed to this volatility. In early 2025, copper prices showed an upward trend, supported by persistent supply challenges and growing demand from sectors such as electric vehicles and renewable energy.

Expert Insights Highlight Majuba Hill’s Potential as a Transformative Copper Discovery

According to John Newell of John Newell & Associates, Giant Mining Corp.’s Majuba Hill Copper Property in Nevada has continued to demonstrate its potential as a transformative copper discovery.  

In a January 13 analysis, Newell highlighted the property’s favorable geology, historical production, and significant exploration results. Newell noted that these results supported the potential for a district-scale copper discovery, emphasizing that the project benefits from strong infrastructure and accessibility, which are crucial for advancing development. He described Giant Mining as “one of the most compelling opportunities in the junior mining sector.”

Technical Analyst Clive Maund described Giant Mining as a “Strong Buy” on all time horizons.

*On the same date, Technical Analyst Clive Maund described Giant Mining as a “Strong Buy” on all time horizons, citing the stock’s technical performance and recovery from a prolonged bear market. Maund pointed to the Majuba Hill property’s history of high-grade production and the success of recent drill programs, which revealed promising copper and silver mineralization.

He highlighted the company’s commitment to advancing exploration, noting that the ongoing drill program was expected to refine the resource further. Maund remarked that the stock was positioned to break out into a major bull market, supported by improving volume trends and accumulation indicators.

Key Milestones Driving Growth for Giant Mining Corp.

The upcoming Q1 2025 drill program represents a key catalyst for Giant Mining Corp.

In addition to the robust geological potential, the company benefits from its strategic focus on copper, a critical metal for the expanding electric vehicle (EV) and renewable energy sectors. Copper’s role in EV motors, batteries, and infrastructure positions Majuba Hill as a valuable domestic resource, particularly as global demand for the metal is expected to grow incrementally by 2%-3% annually through 2035.
