Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5) has announced the continuation of its collaboration with RESPEC Company LLC to integrate new geological data into the three-dimensional (3D) model for the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project in Pershing County, Nevada. The updated model will incorporate drilling results from the company's 2024 and 2025 diamond core programs, including holes MHB-30 through MHB-36, which total over 5,484 feet of core drilling completed earlier this year.
The integration of this new data is intended to refine the geometry of breccia bodies, better delineate geologic controls on mineralization, and evaluate target zones such as the Northern Breccia, Ball Park Breccia, and the 789 Resistivity Target. According to the company, silver will also be incorporated into the revised exploration model.
In a company news release, President and CEO David Greenway stated, "Continuing our engagement with RESPEC is a critical step in advancing Majuba Hill. By integrating the latest core data into the model, we are not only refining the geological model but also strengthening the project's potential."
The Majuba Hill property covers approximately 9,684 acres and is located 113 kilometers southwest of Winnemucca and 251 kilometers northeast of Reno. It has historical production records of 2.8 million pounds of copper, 184,000 ounces of silver, and 5,800 ounces of gold. The project benefits from existing infrastructure including road access, power proximity, and water supply, and has seen more than 89,000 feet of drilling to date, which the company estimates would cost approximately US$12.1 million to replicate at today's prices.
The updated 3D model will support the company's ongoing geological interpretation and will assist in determining the focus of future drilling and metallurgical studies.
Copper Demand Surged Amid AI, Data Center Growth, and Fed Policy Shifts
Mining.com reported on September 15 that copper prices had reached a 15-month high, with futures on the London Metal Exchange climbing to US$10,173 per ton and COMEX prices rising to US$4.726 per pound. The gains were linked to expectations of a U.S. interest rate cut following weak economic data, as well as strong Chinese demand. The publication stated that copper "has now risen for six consecutive trading sessions," with traders anticipating monetary easing and noting that "apparent consumption in the world's biggest copper market rose by about 10% in the first half."
On the same day as the Mining.com report, MarketMinute explored the potential ripple effects of a hypothetical 50% tariff on copper imports into a major economy. The report explained that while the intent of such a tariff would be to support domestic mining, it could reduce global copper production and unintentionally shrink the supply of byproduct silver. MarketMinute stated that "over 70% of silver is extracted as a byproduct from other metal mines, with copper operations being a primary source," and warned that supply constraints in silver markets could follow a decline in copper output. The report also noted that "a significant tariff on copper would not only impact copper-consuming industries but also send tremors through the silver market."
The following day, Fastmarkets highlighted how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and data center infrastructure had intensified copper demand in the United States. The report stated that "copper demand in data centers is accelerating as artificial intelligence drives higher power needs, advanced cooling systems and greater infrastructure requirements." According to the Copper Development Association, newer AI-optimized data centers require more copper to handle higher power loads and liquid cooling systems. Fastmarkets added that "depending on how EV sales trend in the next few years, domestic data center demand could rival or even surpass EVs when it comes to copper consumption."
Fastmarkets also cited long-term copper consumption projections from its analysts, estimating that energy transition sectors such as EVs, wind, and solar will grow at a combined compound annual growth rate of 8.9% over the next decade. The article emphasized that sustainability goals are reshaping copper procurement in North America, with manufacturers increasingly sourcing copper products with higher recycled content. Fastmarkets noted that copper's infinite recyclability was helping to "capture even more of its value and keep it in circulation for generations to come."
Analyst Reviews Technical Indicators and Project Developments at Giant Mining
*In a report dated June 9, technical analyst Clive Maund provided an update on Giant Mining Corp., focusing on the company's progress at its Majuba Hill copper-silver-gold project in Nevada. The analysis described the project as "rapidly advancing" and situated within the broader context of U.S. domestic clean energy and critical mineral strategies.
Maund discussed developments from the company's 2025 Spring drill program, noting the completion of drill hole MHB-34 as a key milestone. He emphasized the project's location advantages, including access to roads, electrical power, and water, and referenced prior drilling results that he described as demonstrating "impressive grades." According to the report, the geological setting may suggest the potential for a larger mineralized system.
From a technical perspective, the report cited recent trading patterns as indicative of accumulation. Maund noted that the price chart appeared to be forming what he referred to as "a large bullish Cup & Handle base," and stated that volume activity supported the interpretation of an intermediate base. He concluded that the chart "looks ready to break out into a major new bull market."
The report assigned a "Strong Buy" rating on Giant Mining Corp. for the short-, medium-, and long-term, citing technical chart formation, recent drilling activity, share structure, and the company's jurisdictional positioning. Maund outlined a potential trading range between CA$0.60 and CA$2.00 based on these factors.
Advancing the Technical Foundation in a Copper-Driven Market
Giant Mining's decision to continue work with RESPEC aligns with broader efforts to solidify Majuba Hill's position within the copper sector, particularly as demand for domestic supply grows. The United States has been prioritizing secure and local sources of copper, silver, and gold amid rising global competition and ongoing supply chain reshoring trends.
The updated model is expected to support the company's future evaluations of economic potential and will provide the technical groundwork for refining drill targets across the property. The investor presentation outlines an exploration strategy that includes modeling AI-generated anomalies and focusing on known mineralization zones that remain open laterally and at depth.
In addition to exploration work, Giant Mining maintains a 20% stake in the Friday Gold Project in Idaho and has secured full financing for its next drill phase at Majuba Hill. The company also recently amended advertising and marketing agreements with two third-party firms for a combined commitment of up to US$600,000.
Giant Mining's current share structure includes approximately 94.7 million shares issued and outstanding, with a fully diluted share count of 144.5 million. As of August 1, 2025, the company had a market capitalization of approximately CA$22.7 million, based on a share price of CA$0.24.
