Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5) has announced that recent soil sampling results have expanded the mineralized breccia footprint at its Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project in Nevada. According to the company's November 19, 2025, news release, 96 new soil samples were collected from the Ball Park area, with 21 returning copper concentrations above 100 parts per million (ppm) and a peak value of 397 ppm. Additionally, 24 of the samples reported silver grades exceeding 2 ppm, with the highest measuring 9.5 ppm.

The results extend a previously defined copper anomaly by up to 1,000 feet to the east, reinforcing the geological model developed by Giant Mining and its technical consultants. David Greenway, President and CEO, stated in the news release, "These new soils demonstrate the potential for expanding the Majuba Hill mineralization. Our Technical Program continues to expand the geologic framework that supports our drill planning and improvements in the Geological Model by RESPEC."

The company noted that the newly identified anomalous copper and silver zones align with the project's northwest-oriented fault corridors. These structural features have been associated with mineralized breccia bodies previously intersected in drill holes, such as MHB-30, which returned 66.4 meters of 1.35% copper and 73.4 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, including 22.6 meters of 2.6% copper and 30.1 g/t silver.

The Majuba Hill project, situated in Pershing County, Nevada, encompasses 9,684 acres and is accessible via county roads approximately 70 miles southwest of Winnemucca. The property benefits from established infrastructure, including road access, electricity, and proximity to skilled labor in regional mining hubs.

Copper Sector Responds to Supply Shocks and Electrification-Driven Demand

Coulier Capital wrote on November 17 that "copper jumped 2.3% during the week, supported by improved risk appetite following the resolution of the U.S. government shutdown." The firm noted that "supply-side concerns such as lower output from major mines and inventories dropping in China added support to the price."

According to a November 19 update from Finimize, copper prices stabilized after several days of declines, with "modest gains across major exchanges" helping the metal regain footing. The report stated that traders remained cautious due to uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's next policy move, though the market responded to signs of resilient demand in China. It added that "copper's recent swings emphasize just how reactive metal markets are to global developments," and that macroeconomic shifts continue to shape sentiment across the base metals sector.

A November 2025 report from Market Data Forecast on the European copper scrap market highlighted structural demand drivers across multiple industries. The study emphasized that solar photovoltaic systems use between 3.5 and 5 kilograms of copper per kilowatt, and noted that 56 gigawatts of solar capacity were added in Europe in 2024, creating more than 220,000 tonnes of copper demand. Additionally, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported 2.8 million battery electric vehicle sales in the EU during 2024, each containing 80 to 90 kilograms of copper in motors, inverters, and charging components.

The report further pointed to the environmental benefits of copper recycling, stating that "primary copper production carries a carbon footprint of 4 to 6 tonnes of CO2 per tonne, whereas recycled copper from scrap emits only 0.5 to 1 tonne," as verified by the International Copper Association. This has increased the role of copper scrap as a low-carbon feedstock amid policy mandates. It also cited the EU's Grid Expansion Acceleration Act, which targets 425,000 kilometers of high-voltage transmission lines by 2030, requiring approximately 300,000 tonnes of copper to support grid modernization.

Despite regulatory complexity and inconsistent recycling infrastructure across member states, the report described ongoing efforts to integrate scrap processors into industrial networks and urban mining initiatives. These efforts were presented as essential to increasing supply chain traceability and meeting sustainability benchmarks under the EU's emerging regulatory framework.

Advancing the Geological Model Through Systematic Data Integration

The soil sampling results mark a continuation of Giant Mining's methodical approach to expanding its geological understanding of the Majuba Hill deposit. As described in the company's investor materials, Majuba Hill is a porphyry-style copper-silver-gold system with significant historic production and extensive multi-phase drilling from 2020 to 2025. Over 89,000 feet of drilling have been completed to date, with a replacement cost estimated at US$12.1 million.

The 2025 exploration program began with a five-hole core drilling campaign totaling 5,484.5 feet. Several of these holes, including MHB-36, targeted AI-identified resistivity anomalies, supporting the company's goal of integrating modern technology with traditional geological methods.

Soil sampling has played a consistent role across the company's work programs, contributing to new target identification and refinement of the copper-gold mineralization zones. Previous campaigns in 2020 through 2024 collected thousands of soil samples and guided drilling campaigns that confirmed breccia-hosted copper mineralization.

With secure funding in place for its next drilling phase, Giant Mining continues to refine and expand the geological model for Majuba Hill while progressing toward a potential mineral resource estimate. The project's existing infrastructure and Nevada location provide additional support for ongoing exploration efficiency.
