Exploration Expansion For High Grade Copper-Bearing Breccia Zones At Majuba Hill Copper Project

VANCOUVER - Giant Mining Corp. plans to expand the surface exploration to focus on high-grade copper-bearing breccias zones at its Majuba Hill Copper-Silver Deposit located in Pershing County, Nevada.

High-grade copper was sampled from core hole MHB-30 (MHB-30) that was clearly associated with magmatic-hydrothermal, copper-bearing breccia zone. The breccia zone returned 218.0 feet (66.4 meters) of 1.35% Cu and 73.4 g/t Ag including 74.0 feet (22.6 meters) of 2.6% Cu and 30.1 g/t Ag.

MHB-30 drilled a prominent breccia zone on the west end of the >0.50% copper zone.

Copper-bearing breccias are zones in porphyry copper deposits where copper-mineralization is broken into smaller pieces and then those pieces are cemented together by copper-rich minerals. The breccias are formed when magmatic-hydrothermal activity causes mineral-laden fluids to move along faults or fractures in the Earth's crust. These zones are prized in mining for their potential high copper grades, and several deposits have achieved notable commercial success. In larger copper deposits the copper-bearing breccias are a guide that points to where the largest portion of a porphyry copper deposit can be found.

“We are excited to advance our exploration efforts at Majuba Hill,” said David Greenway, CEO. "We look forward to determining the high-grade potential of the copper-bearing breccias, which will further our understanding of the deposit’s potential to become a significant domestic supply of copper for the USA and for the benefit of all Giant Mining stakeholders."
