The Giant Mine sits at the apex of the Jubilee syncline, where it intersects with the Horsethief Thrust Fault.
This geological structure is key to the mineralization observed in the area, with the highest-grade ores being located at this intersection.
The highest-grade mineralization in the mine was found where the Horsethief Thrust Fault intersects the Jubilee Formation. This area has been a focal point for past exploration and is likely to remain of interest for future investigations.

Exploration work by Tiger Ridge Resources in the 1990s and early 2000s continued to develop an understanding of the geological structures around the Giant Mine, identifying base metal mineralization and refining the geological models for the area.
The property has undergone several phases of exploration and development, including significant drilling and sampling programs in the 1970s and 2000s.
