Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5) announced the continuation of its geological study focused on breccia-hosted mineralization at its flagship Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project in Pershing County, Nevada. The company's ongoing surface mapping and analysis, supported by artificial intelligence modeling, builds upon data collected from more than 100 historic drill holes totaling 89,395 feet. The goal is to define new targets for the 2025 Phase 2 drill program at Majuba Hill.

The company's breccia study was initiated following results from the Spring 2025 diamond drilling program, which confirmed thick intercepts of high-grade copper in breccia zones across multiple core holes, including MHB-30, MHB-32, and MHB-34. These findings expanded the known Mineralized Breccia Zone and reinforced the project's historical significance as a past copper producer.

Breccia, a rock composed of cemented fragments from older rocks, is of particular interest at Majuba Hill because it hosts high concentrations of copper and silver. Understanding the distribution and composition of breccia zones allows the company to more precisely identify areas of potential economic mineralization. In the case of Majuba Hill, the breccia zones include native copper, cuprite, chalcopyrite, and secondary copper minerals such as malachite and azurite.

CEO David Greenway stated in a company news release, "The assays from our 2024 and 2025 drill programs continue to exceed expectations, clearly validating the scale, grade, and continuity of the breccia-hosted copper mineralization at Majuba Hill." He added that the technical team is fully funded and prepared for Phase 2.

Majuba Hill is located 70 miles southwest of Winnemucca and 156 miles northeast of Reno. It spans 9,684 acres and benefits from county road access, nearby power infrastructure, and proximity to workforce and equipment centers. The site previously produced approximately 2.8 million pounds of copper, 184,000 ounces of silver, and 5,800 ounces of gold from underground mines operating between the early 1900s and 1950s.

Copper Extends 2025 Rally on Tariffs and Infrastructure Demand

Copper prices continued to rise through mid-2025, driven by mounting trade policy shifts, tightening global supplies, and sustained industrial demand. On July 22, Mining.com reported that copper futures reached an all-time high of US$5.732 per pound on the CME, marking a year-to-date increase of more than 40%. The report stated, "This takes copper's year-to-date gains to over 40%, making it one of the best performing commodities of 2025, even surpassing that of gold."

The surge followed the U.S. government's announcement of a 50% tariff, prompting increased domestic stockpiling and speculative buying activity. Analysts from ANZ Bank told Reuters that the new tariff policy may shift market dependence to existing inventories, with the potential to affect short-term price stability in both U.S. and international markets.

A July 27 report from Excelsior Prosperity placed the current rally within a broader multi-year uptrend. The firm traced copper's climb from US$1.98 per pound in March 2020 to multiple breakouts above US$5.00, noting previous peaks in 2021, 2022, and 2024. Excelsior linked past price movements to supply chain disruptions, geopolitical uncertainty, and increased infrastructure demand. The most recent rise to US$5.94 per pound in July was attributed to expectations around data center expansion and electricity infrastructure needed to support artificial intelligence development.

Institutional interest in copper also remained elevated. In a July 28 interview with Morningstar, Nitesh Shah, head of macroeconomic and commodity research at WisdomTree, identified copper as one of the top three commodities to watch in 2025. "There is so much need for those base metals in energy transition and data center buildout, where those two metals are heavily used," Shah said, referring to copper and aluminum.

On July 29, the BBC wrote that Robert Friedland, billionaire founder of Ivanhoe Mines and Ivanhoe Electric, voiced support for President Trump's recently proposed 50% tariff on copper imports, set to take effect on August 1, 2025. According to Friedland, the tariff is a key step toward reviving U.S. copper mining, reducing dependency on foreign suppliers, and strengthening national security by ensuring access to critical raw materials. He emphasized that rebuilding domestic copper production is essential as the U.S. prepares for the accelerating demand driven by clean energy and electric vehicles.  

Analyst Highlights Giant Mining's Technical Strength and Project Momentum

*In a June 9 report, Technical Analyst Clive Maund issued a favorable assessment of Giant Mining Corp., citing continued progress at the company's Majuba Hill copper-gold-silver project in Nevada. Maund described the project as "rapidly advancing" and noted its potential role in supporting domestic clean energy goals and critical mineral supply.

According to the analysis, the company's 2025 Spring drill program — including the completion of hole MHB-34 — reinforced management's positive outlook. Maund also emphasized the project's location in Nevada, which provides established infrastructure, including access to roads, power, and water. He referenced drill results from 2024 as demonstrating "impressive grades," with underlying geology that may support a much larger mineralized system.

From a technical perspective, Maund interpreted recent trading activity as a signal of accumulation. He noted the formation of what he called "a large bullish Cup & Handle base" and observed that trading volume over the preceding month suggested the development of an intermediate base. He concluded that the chart "looks ready to break out into a major new bull market."

Maund assigned Giant Mining a "Strong Buy" rating across all time horizons and cited potential upside targets between CA$0.60 and CA$2.00. These levels were based on the company's technical chart pattern, ongoing project development, supportive share structure, and its presence in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.

Key Project Catalysts For Giant

Giant Mining's near-term focus remains the execution of its 2025 drilling program at Majuba Hill. According to the company's investor presentation, the program is designed to include at least 4,400 feet of core drilling, with a minimum commitment of 2,600 feet. One of the five planned holes, MHB-36, is targeting a high-priority resistivity anomaly identified using artificial intelligence-driven modeling by ExploreTech.

Drilling progress reported to date includes over 2,500 feet of completed core drilling in 2025. Key drill holes such as MHB-32 and MHB-34 encountered visible copper mineralization, including native copper and copper-bearing breccias. Sample analysis from these holes is being conducted by ALS Global Services.

The company's exploration efforts continue to be supported by extensive geophysical surveys and soil sampling programs. Historical exploration has revealed the presence of porphyry-style copper systems, and recent programs have emphasized targeting deeper and lateral extensions of these mineralized zones.

Giant Mining has also secured full funding for its current exploration program and maintains a 20% stake in the Friday Gold Project in Idaho. The company's stated focus is on advancing Majuba Hill as a potential source of domestic copper supply in one of the world's leading mining jurisdictions.
