Giant Mining Corp. Begins 2026 Exploration at Majuba Hill Copper Project
VANCOUVER, BC — March 13, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Giant Mining Corp. has commenced its 2026 exploration season at the Majuba Hill Copper Project in Pershing County, Nevada. The company’s geological team is now conducting systematic mapping and sampling across several prospective areas within the property.
According to Giant Mining, the exploration program is designed to strengthen the geological model of the area and prioritize the most prospective breccia-hosted copper targets for upcoming drilling.
David Greenway, President and CEO of Giant Mining Corp., stated that launching the 2026 exploration season marks an exciting step forward for the Majuba Hill project. Greenway added that Majuba Hill hosts a hydrothermal breccia system with demonstrated copper-silver mineralization from prior drilling, and that the current program is focused on refining high-priority targets and preparing for the next phase of diamond drilling. With a strong technical team on site and clear exploration targets identified, Greenway believes Majuba Hill represents a compelling opportunity to advance a copper system in Nevada.
The company’s geological team has initiated a program of detailed geological mapping, structural interpretation, surface and underground geochemical sampling, enhanced by ongoing review of all core results. The results will be used to refine high-priority drill targets ahead of the company’s diamond drilling program.
Giant Mining announced plans on January 30th, 2026, for a multi-phase diamond drilling program of up to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) designed to further evaluate copper-silver mineralization across key target areas.
Phase 1 of the program includes up to 5,000 feet of diamond drilling, underground mapping and sampling, and surface geochemical surveys to refine drill targeting. Phase 2 contemplates up to 5,000 feet of additional drilling.
The 2026 exploration and drill program is building on the company’s previous exploration work and drilling across the district. Results from the company’s 2024–2025 exploration programs identified multiple mineralized breccia bodies associated with hydrothermal-magmatic tourmaline breccias and breccia pipe margins, which represent priority targets for further drilling.
Several historical drill holes returned elevated copper and silver values with locally anomalous gold. Drill intercepts returned elevated copper and silver values, as well as intervals of anomalous gold. Mineralization is commonly associated with hydrothermal-magmatic tourmaline matrix breccias and the margins of breccia pipes. Further drilling is required to determine the extent and continuity of mineralization.
Majuba Hill is located in Pershing County, Nevada, approximately 156 miles (251 km) northeast of Reno.

Giant Mining is focused on identifying, acquiring, and advancing late-stage copper and copper/silver/gold projects to meet the growing global demand for critical metals.
The company’s flagship asset is the Majuba Hill Copper, Silver, and Gold District, located 156 miles (251 km) from Reno, Nevada.
The Company expects to provide additional updates as exploration activities progress.
