GoldMining Inc. Unlocks Strategic Copper Value Amid Historic Price Surge

Jul 21 2025 11:00 BST

VANCOUVER, BC , July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG) is advancing its gold-copper strategy across the Americas in response to copper prices surging to near-record highs, up approximately 20% year-over-year. As global electrification, clean energy deployment, and U.S. trade policy intensify copper demand, GoldMining seeks to leverage its extensive portfolio of resource-stage gold and gold-copper projects to unlock significant value for shareholders.

The Company's diversified holdings include 100%-owned projects with estimated mineral resources of over 1.2 billion pounds of copper in Measured and Indicated ("M&I") categories and a further 0.5 billion pounds in the Inferred category (see Table 1). In addition, the Company has a strategic ownership of approximately 79% of U.S. GoldMining Inc. ("U.S. GoldMining"), that owns the Whistler Gold-Copper Project in Alaska that hosts over 1 billion pounds of copper in estimated Indicated resources, and over 300 million pounds copper in estimated Inferred resources, alongside gold and silver (see Table 2).

GoldMining's portfolio includes over a dozen projects located in tier-one mining jurisdictions, many of which contain multi-million-ounce estimated gold resources accompanied by substantial copper mineralization. The Company's aggregated estimated mineral resources (see Table 1) include approximately 12.4 million gold equivalent ounces in the M&I categories, and a further 9.1 million gold equivalent ounces in the Inferred category. The Company's estimated mineral resources are exclusive of those reported by U.S. GoldMining (see Table 2). GoldMining owns approximately 9.9 million shares of U.S. GoldMining (Nasdaq: USGO), representing an approximate 79% ownership, with a market value of approximately CAD$119 million, based on the closing price of such shares on July 18, 2025.

Alastair Still, CEO of GoldMining, commented: "Copper is not only a critical metal for the energy transition, it is now a matter of national interest for governments across the Americas. GoldMining is uniquely positioned with a diversified portfolio that includes multiple resource-stage gold and gold-copper projects containing significant copper resources, including our interest in the Whistler Gold-Copper Project in Alaska, as well as the La Mina, Titiribi and Yarumalito projects which comprise our Colombian assets. The recent price appreciation of copper, gold and silver highlights the embedded, and in many ways underappreciated, value within our portfolio. Thus, we believe GoldMining offers shareholders a compelling exposure to upside potential for both gold and copper as we advance our projects and as demand for these critical metals accelerates globally."

Notes to Table 2:
1.	Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves.
2.	Inferred mineral resources are subject to uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. The level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability.
3.	The mineral resource estimate for the Whistler, Island Mountain, and the upper portions of the Raintree West deposits have been confined by an open pit with "reasonable prospects of economic extraction" using the following assumptions:
	Metal prices of US$1,850/oz gold (Au), US$4.00/lb copper (Cu) and US$23/oz silver (Ag);
	Payable metal of 95% payable for Au and Ag, and 96.5% payable for Cu;
	Refining costs for g of US$8.00/oz, for Ag of US$0.60/oz and for Cu of US$0.05/lb;
	Offsite costs for Au of US$77.50/wmt, for Ag of US$3.50/wmt and for Cu of US$55.00/wmt;
	Royalty of 3% net smelter return royalty (NSR);
	Pit slopes are 50 degrees;
	Mining cost of US$2.25/t for waste and mineralized material; and
	Processing, general and administrative costs of US$7.90/t.
4.	The lower portion of the Raintree West deposit has been constrained by a mineable shape with "reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction" using a US$25.00/t cut-off.
5.	Metallurgical recoveries are: 70% for Au, 83% for Cu, and 65% Ag for Ag grades below 10g/t. The Ag recovery is 0% for values above 10g/t for all deposits.
6.	The NSR equations are: below 10g/t Ag: NSR (US$/t)=(100%-3%)((Au70%US$54.646/t) + (Cu83%US$3.7022204.62 + Ag65%US$0.664)), and above 10g/t Ag: NSR (US$/t)=(100%-3%)((Au70%US$56.646g/t) + (Cu83%US$3.7022204.62)).
7.	The Au Equivalent equations are: below 10g/t Ag: AuEq=Au + Cu1.771 +0.0113Ag, and above 10g/t Ag: AuEq=Au + Cu1.771.
8.	The specific gravity for each deposit and domain ranges from 2.76 to 2.91 for Island Mountain, 2.60 to 2.72 for Whistler with an average value of 2.80 for Raintree West.
9.	Numbers may not add due to rounding.
