A LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey of Giant Mining's Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project in Pershing County, Nevada, is scheduled to start within the next two weeks to improve drill targeting.
Unmanned Aerial Services Inc (UAS inc), a Canada-based company that uses next generation drones, LiDAR, and robotic technologies to map confined and GPS-denied areas, will carry out the survey before Giant's 10,000ft core drilling programme
Giant Mining Corp President and CEO David Greenway said the LiDAR survey is intended to support the company's evaluation of the Majuba Hill project. He added that digitising accessible historical underground workings, including areas explored by previous operators, should provide additional spatial data to inform geological interpretation and exploration planning.
According to Greenway, the survey results will be integrated with existing datasets to help refine targets for the planned drill programme, including areas beneath historical workings.
Giant Mining notes that certain historical underground features, including deeper winzes, appear to be inaccessible.
The LiDAR programme is expected to generate a high-resolution digital twin of the underground workings, supporting structural interpretation of mineralised zones, identification of historical mining orientations and controls, correlation with surface geology and drill data, and enhanced targeting beneath and adjacent to historical workings.
Majuba Hill hosts extensive historical underground development and past-producing zones, with previous operators including Freeport Sulphur Company, which conducted drilling programs in the 1940s.
The underground LiDAR programmeis being completed alongside the company's 2026 exploration strategy, which includes a 10,000ft diamond drill programme and targeting of breccia-hosted and intrusive-related copper-silver-gold mineralisation.
The drill programme will test newly identified breccia targets, extensions of mineralisation at depth, and zones beneath historical underground workings.
There is no current mineral resource estimate for Majuba Hill, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource.
