USA Based Copper Deposits Should Be in Top Focus as Trump Begins to Focus on Critical Minerals
Global electricity grid needs to double in size by 2050 to meet net‑zero targets. Upgrading the grid is estimated to cost US$21 trillion. An estimated 427 Million Tonnes (MT) of copper will be needed by 2050—more than 8x as much as required for wind turbines, solar panels, and energy storage combined.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla:
“Copper is the backbone of the renewable energy revolution. As industries electrify, securing a stable supply of this critical metal is becoming more urgent.”
Copper has emerged as one of the most indispensable metals in today's global economy. The acceleration of electric vehicle (EV) adoption, renewable energy projects, and advancements in energy storage solutions have significantly increased demand. With supply chain constraints tightening, governments and mining companies are investing heavily in exploration and production to meet these needs.
Across North America, copper exploration is gaining momentum. The U.S. and Canada are ramping up efforts to secure domestic production, especially in mineral‑rich regions like Nevada's Walker Lane Trend and Arizona's copper belt. Meanwhile, infrastructure expansion and the transition to green energy further reinforce copper's role as a foundational material in modern industry.
Robert Friedland, Founder of Ivanhoe Mines:
“The world is facing a copper supply squeeze. As global electrification continues, high‑quality copper deposits will become increasingly valuable.”
Giant Mining Corp: Today Announced at their USA, Nevada Based Copper Deposit
Giant Mining Corp. Engages Big Sky Exploration LLC for 2025 Phase 1 Drill Program at Majuba Hill.
Giant Mining is planning a drill program to follow up on their highest‑grade intercept to date at their Nevada‑based Majuba Hill Copper Deposit.
Giant Mining announced:
“Giant is pleased to announce it has engaged Big Sky Exploration, LLC for diamond core drilling at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit, a project featuring copper, silver, and gold, located in Pershing County, Nevada.
Big Sky, which operates throughout the western United States, previously provided high‑quality core drilling services at Majuba Hill in 2024. Furthermore, the company has received over $1.5 Million through the exercise of outstanding share purchase warrants issued under previous financings.

The Company plans to drill 4 holes totaling 4,400 feet (1,340 meters) of core drilling within the existing exploration target area. A minimum of 2,600 feet will be completed, and the contract does not have a maximum drilling requirement—allowing for flexibility. If the holes extend into mineralization beyond the contemplated 1,100 feet (335 meters) per hole, drilling may continue up to 1,600 feet (487 meters).
The Core Program is designed to follow up on geology and mineralization intersected in core holes MHB‑30 and MHB‑31.

This maiden 2025 drill program is a key component of Giant Mining Corp.'s ongoing initiative to advance exploration efforts at Majuba Hill. The planned drill program will target the Southern Breccia Corridor with holes oriented to intersect the high‑grade mineralized breccia. Drilling will focus on the deeper portions of the breccia and the extensions of the high‑grade copper zones below the historic underground workings.

This drill program will be added to over 80,000 feet of previous exploration and development at Majuba Hill, Nevada to date.
As copper's role in clean energy solutions becomes even more critical, Giant Mining Corp (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) is primed to benefit from the market's upward trajectory. The company's exploration strategy is centered on uncovering new mineralized zones and leveraging the success of neighboring operations. With demand outpacing supply, Giant Mining Corp is poised to play a vital role in the copper industry's future.
