VANCOUVER, BC — March 25, 2025 — In a significant development for the mining industry, Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) has expressed strong support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent Executive Order titled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.” This order, issued on March 20, 2025, aims to enhance the production of critical minerals, including copper and gold, thereby reinforcing the nation’s security agenda.
The Executive Order: A Game Changer for Domestic Mining
The Executive Order is a pivotal move that invokes the Defense Production Act, signaling a robust U.S. Government initiative to expand domestic mineral production on national security grounds. One of the key highlights of the order is its commitment to streamline project permitting. It outlines a framework to “identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued,” thereby expediting the approval process for critical mining projects.
Moreover, the order proposes the establishment of a dedicated mineral and mineral production fund under the Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to facilitate access to both private and public capital for domestic projects. This financial backing is expected to invigorate the mining sector, providing essential resources for companies like Giant Mining that are poised to contribute significantly to the domestic supply of critical minerals.
Giant Mining’s Response
David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining, lauded the Executive Order as a decisive step toward enhancing the nation’s supply chain security. He stated, “This Executive Order is a significant milestone in revitalizing the domestic mining sector by streamlining the permitting process and providing essential financial support for qualifying projects.” As a company focused on advancing its flagship Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Project in Nevada, Giant Mining is optimistic about the opportunities this policy presents for the future of domestic copper production.
Context: Previous Executive Orders and National Security
This Executive Order builds upon a previous order signed by President Trump on February 25, 2025, which addressed national security threats posed by copper imports. The order directed the Department of Commerce to investigate potential tariffs on copper imports, as the U.S. currently relies on foreign sources for approximately 45% of its copper supply. This dependency raises concerns, especially given that over 50% of global smelting capacity is controlled by a single foreign producer. The recent initiatives reflect a growing recognition of the need to bolster domestic production capabilities.
Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Project: A Key Asset
Giant Mining’s flagship asset, the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Project, is strategically located in Pershing County, Nevada, a region renowned for its mining-friendly regulations. The project spans 9,684 acres and is well-positioned with established infrastructure, including access via well-maintained county roads and proximity to major cities like Reno and Winnemucca.
Key Characteristics of Majuba Hill
Location: Situated in a top-ranked mining jurisdiction, Majuba Hill benefits from supportive regulations that facilitate mining operations.
Infrastructure: The project is easily accessible, with essential services such as roads, power, and water already in place, significantly reducing operational costs.
Historical Production: The site has a history of production, with 83,930 feet of drilling completed to date, representing a substantial investment in development costs.
Mineralization Potential: Preliminary findings indicate a potentially large copper-silver-gold mineralized body, with significant expansion potential as mineralization remains open in all directions.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Giant Mining
As Giant Mining prepares to commence its 2025 drilling program at Majuba Hill, the company is poised to capitalize on the favorable regulatory environment and increased financial support from the U.S. government. The ongoing demand for critical minerals, driven by initiatives like the Green New Deal and the global transition to renewable energy, positions Giant Mining as a key player in meeting the growing needs of the market.
Conclusion
The recent Executive Order by President Trump marks a transformative moment for the U.S. mining sector, particularly for companies like Giant Mining that are committed to advancing domestic mineral production. With the backing of streamlined permitting processes and financial support, the future looks promising for the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Project and the broader mining industry in the United States.
