Giant Mining Corp. announce it has engaged Legarza Exploration (“Legarza”) to build new roads and drill sites at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit (“Majuba Hill”), a copper, silver, and gold project located in Pershing County, Nevada.
Most of the proposed road work was approved as part of the Reclamation Cost Estimate by the State of Nevada, Department of Conservation & Natural Resources, with the Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation (“BMRR”) which will provide safe and efficient access for exploration drill rigs to the in-fill and extension drill locations.
The Company is currently awaiting approval from the Winnemucca District Office of the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) on a small portion of the road described in an Amendment to the existing BLM Notice Level plan submitted in May 2024. Construction is proposed to begin on or about June 18th 2024.
“We are excited to advance our operations at Majuba Hill with the construction of this new road. Engaging Legarza for this crucial infrastructure project underscores our commitment to ensuring safe and efficient access to our drilling sites. This development marks a significant step forward in our exploration and operational plans for the upcoming drill season.”
David Greenway, President and CEO of Giant Mining Corp.
As previously announced in the May 30, 2024 news release (see News Release), the new road and site construction will partially support our drilling activities at Majuba Hill, including the proposed 3,900 meters (12,800 feet) of reverse circulation (RC) drilling across 16 drill holes and 488 meters (1,600 feet) of core drilling within the existing exploration target area. Additionally, the Company plans to drill two deep core holes, each expected to reach depths of up to 3,500 feet (1,066 meters).
