1. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5) has expanded its collaboration with Exploration Technologies Inc. to incorporate artificial intelligence into drill targeting at the Majuba Hill copper-silver-gold project in Pershing County, Nevada. The company is now applying ExploreTech’s proprietary Inverter and Driller AI platforms to broader areas of the property following a series of encouraging high-grade copper intercepts from its 2024 and 2025 drilling programs.

Located 70 miles southwest of Winnemucca and 156 miles northeast of Reno, the 9,684-acre Majuba Hill project benefits from well-established regional infrastructure and a history of mineral production. More than 89,000 feet of drilling has been completed to date, with an estimated replacement value of US$12.1 million. Previous production at the site includes 2.8 million pounds of copper, 184,000 ounces of silver, 5,800 ounces of gold, and 21,000 pounds of tin.

Giant Mining recently completed the first phase of its 2025 drill program, which consisted of five diamond drill holes (MHB-32 through MHB-36) totaling 5,484.5 feet. One of these holes, MHB-36, was specifically designed using AI modeling to test a high-priority resistivity anomaly and intersected visible disseminated and vein-hosted chalcopyrite. Core samples from hole MHB-32 showed azurite, malachite, and chalcocite between 527 and 537 feet depth, confirming copper mineralization within magmatic-hydrothermal breccias.

The Majuba Hill project displays characteristics of a large porphyry copper system, and recent drill holes have supported the presence of laterally extensive breccia zones. These rock formations, composed of mineral fragments cemented by a fine-grained matrix, are often the result of intense hydrothermal or tectonic activity and are known to host significant copper and silver mineralization.

According to Tyler Hall, PhD, co-founder and president of ExploreTech, in the press release, "The results at Majuba Hill demonstrate how technology can accelerate understanding of complex mineral systems and help companies like Giant Mining make smarter, faster drilling decisions."

Giant Mining CEO David Greenway added, "With some of our strongest intercepts to date and advanced AI-supported targeting, we are confident the ongoing work is improving our understanding of the system."

Metal Markets Hold Ground Amid Profit-Taking and Policy Signals

Gold prices saw a modest pullback on November 11, after reaching a three-week high, as short-term futures traders moved to lock in gains. December gold futures settled at US$4,113.10 per ounce. Silver prices remained stable, closing at US$50.54 per ounce. Despite the dip, gold continued to track toward its strongest annual performance since 1979, following an all-time high in October. The gains were supported by expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut and the recent resolution of a potential U.S. government shutdown, which contributed to forecasts of softer economic data.

In a November 12 commentary, Matthew Piepenburg emphasized gold’s historical role as a store of value during times of economic and monetary instability. He noted that gold had consistently preserved its purchasing power over time, even as fiat currencies depreciated. Piepenburg pointed to the long-term decline of the U.S. dollar since the formation of the Federal Reserve as an example, describing gold as a hedge during periods of monetary distortion and inflationary pressure.

Separately, on November 6, Mining.com reported that the U.S. Geological Survey added copper to its updated list of critical minerals. The designation followed an extensive economic model assessing supply risks and strategic importance across 84 mineral commodities. According to Adam Estelle, president and CEO of the Copper Development Association, “copper holds the key to achieving America's top policy objectives, including energy dominance, AI supremacy, national security, and re-industrialization.”

Copper prices remained steady through the early part of November. In a November 9 commodities update from Excelsior Prosperity, Shad Marquitz noted that copper held at approximately US$5 per pound, a level he described as resilient in the face of broader weakness across the resource sector. Marquitz highlighted that, while other metals saw double-digit corrections, copper maintained a constructive trend on long-term technical charts, supported by balanced market fundamentals and sustained investor interest.

AI Targeting Sharpens the Focus at Majuba Hill

The company’s current exploration efforts focus on expanding known mineralized zones and defining new targets based on integrated geological, geophysical, and geochemical data. The completion of the 2025 Phase 1 drill program sets the stage for further refinement of the mineral model through 3-D integration and structural interpretation.

The Majuba Hill property is fully funded for its next phase of drilling. In addition to strong geological indicators, the project is located in a top-tier mining jurisdiction ranked #1 globally by the Fraser Institute. Infrastructure advantages include proximity to major transportation routes, regional mining centers, and utility access.

Global copper demand trends also reinforce the strategic positioning of the Majuba Hill project. Copper remains a key material for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and electrical infrastructure, all of which contribute to increasing long-term consumption. With drill data continuing to support the presence of a large mineralized system, Majuba Hill remains a technically active project with access to modern targeting tools and operational support.
