Core Insights - Giant Mining Corp. has announced positive results from 96 new soil samples, indicating an extension of the copper and silver mineralized breccia bodies identified in their 2024-2025 core drilling programs [1][4]. Soil Sample Results - Out of the 96 samples, 21 returned copper levels greater than 100 ppm, with a maximum value of 397 ppm Cu. Additionally, 24 samples showed silver levels exceeding 2 ppm, with a maximum of 9.5 ppm Ag [2]. - The mean copper concentration in the Ball Park soils was 74.4 ppm, compared to a mean of 66 ppm across all soils. The maximum copper value recorded was 397 ppm [3]. - The anomalous copper results suggest a potential extension of copper mineralization up to 1,000 feet eastward [3]. Geological Significance - The new soil results indicate multiple copper and silver zones aligned with the Northwest Fault Corridors, which are critical controls for the breccia bodies in both the Southern and Northern Breccia Zones [6]. - The overlapping features of copper and silver zones are similar to those at the Southern Mineralized Breccia body, where significant copper and silver intersections have been reported [7]. Project Overview - The Majuba Hill project is located in Nevada, a top-ranked mining jurisdiction, covering 9,684 acres and situated 156 miles northeast of Reno [12][18]. - The project has a history of production and shows indications of a potentially large copper-silver-gold mineralized body, with significant expansion potential indicated by ongoing drilling efforts [12][17]. Infrastructure and Funding - The Majuba Hill project benefits from existing infrastructure, including roads, power, and water, which provides cost advantages compared to more remote projects [12]. - The company has secured funding for the next phase of drilling at Majuba Hill, indicating a commitment to advancing the project [12].
