The Giant Copper property hosts a copper-gold-silver-molybdenum hydrothermal system with an associated breccia pipe and base metal veins.

The AM Zone has been explored since the 1930's and the property has a long history of exploration that includes over 22,000 metres of drilling and 6 kilometres of underground workings. A 1989 feasibility study calculated a reserve of 3.7 million tonnes grading 1.08% copper, 0.47g/t gold, 19.18 g/t silver and 0.010% molybdenum, including 15% mining dilution [resource is historical in nature, compiled before NI43-101].

The 2006 drill program targeted the AM Zone, a mineralized breccia pipe, and drill results from two holes indicate much higher grades than historically reported. Hole GCS06-01 drilled to a depth of 344.2 metres (terminated short of target due to difficult drilling conditions); intersected a 296.7 metre interval grading 0.53% copper, 0.20 g/t gold, 13.44 g/t silver, 0.027% molybdenum. Hole GCS06-02 completed to a depth of 868.4 metres intersected a 602.0 metre interval grading 0.30% copper, 0.15g/t gold, 11.73 g/t silver.

No exploration has been conducted in 2008.

The wholly owned 2,880 hectare Giant Copper property is situated east of Hope, approximately 220 km east of Vancouver, British Columbia.
