VANCOUVER, BC — March 25, 2025 — TheNewswire – Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) announces that the Company including all stakeholders of its flagship Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Project (“Majuba Hill”) in Pershing County, Nevada, applauds U.S. President Donald Trump’s Executive Order dated March 20th, 2025 and titled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production” seeking to bolster the production of domestic critical minerals, including Copper and Gold, and furthering the country’s national security agenda.
The executive order was published on the public registry and the full text of the executive order can be found at the following link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-measures-to-increase-american-mineral-production/.
The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad U.S. Government effort to expand domestic minerals production on national security grounds. As it relates to project permitting, the Order states that it will “identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions…to expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals.” Furthermore, the Order includes provisions to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a “dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments” under the Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”).
“We commend the U.S. President for taking decisive action to address the critical need for expanding domestic mineral production, a vital step toward strengthening the nation’s supply chain security. 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. said David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining. As a U.S.-focused company advancing a Copper-Silver-Gold project in one of the country’s premier mining jurisdictions, we are encouraged by the opportunities this policy presents for the future of domestic copper production and the positive impact it may have at the Majuba Hill project.”
This latest Executive Order is in addition to the On February 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled Addressing the Threat to National Security from Imports of Copper. The order directs the Department of Commerce, led by Secretary Howard Lutnick, to investigate potential tariffs on copper imports due to national security concerns. The U.S. currently imports approximately 45% of its copper from major suppliers including Canada, Mexico, Chile, and Peru. Despite domestic reserves in the ground, the U.S. lags in smelting and refining capacity, with over 50% of global smelting controlled by a single foreign producer.
