GoldMining Inc. Confirms Additional Significant Gold-Antimony Results Including 3.51 g/t AuEq over 93 metres (1.08 g/t Au and 0.69% Sb) in Historic Drilling at its Crucero Project, Peru
Highlights:
- The Company has identified and confirmed significant antimony values in the Crucero drill database to date that are in addition to the current gold-only mineral resource estimate.
- Analysis of the drill hole sample assay database indicates numerous occurrences of antimony, including a selection of drill intercepts, which have been verified by the Company:
- DDH-36:1.89 g/t AuEq (0.94 g/t Au & 0.27% Sb) over 119 metres, from 213 metres depth;
- DDH-37: 4.34 g/t AuEq (0.92 g/t Au & 0.97% Sb) over 60 metres, from 244 metres depth;
- DDH-38: 2.50 g/t AuEq (1.28 g/t Au & 0.34% Sb) over 115 metres, from 42 metres depth;
- DDH-43: 3.51 g/t AuEq (1.08 g/t Au & 0.69% Sb) over 93 metres, from 71 metres depth;
- DDH-45: 6.79 g/t AuEq (6.53 g/t Au & 0.07% Sb) over 44 metres, from 199 metres depth; and
- DDH-40: 2.85 g/t AuEq (1.15 g/t Au & 0.48% Sb) over 64 metres, from 303 metres depth.
- The Company is actively advancing work to incorporate antimony into a new gold-antimony mineral resource estimate for the Project.
- Antimony is a globally significant strategic metal, with current spot prices of approx.
US$55,000 per tonne representing a significant increase fromUS$11,600 per tonne at the start of 2024.
*AuEq is calculated using the formula AuEq (g/t) = Au grade (g/t) + 3.52 * Sb grade (%). Au price of
Alastair Still, Chief Executive Officer of GoldMining, stated, "We are very encouraged by the latest results that demonstrate the emerging opportunity to unlock additional value at our 100%-owned
Further to the Company's news releases on
The updated and revised Crucero database now contains assay data for 79 drill holes as well as 657 trench assays including over 17,000 assay records, 13,296 of which have independent laboratory certificates available. The Company is working with the laboratories to locate additional archived assay certificates in order to build a comprehensive database and undertake further analysis of the distribution and grade of antimony throughout the Project.
The Project contains orogenic gold mineralization that is associated with pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and stibnite, which the latter is an antimony-bearing mineral. The mineralization is contained within altered meta-sedimentary rocks belonging to the Ananea Formation of Lower Paleozoic age.
The mineral resource estimate for Crucero (see Table 1) contains Indicated mineral resources estimated to total 30.65 million tonnes ("Mt") at an average grade of 1.00 gram per tonne gold ("g/t Au") containing approximately 993,000 ounces ("oz") gold. An additional 35.78 Mt at an average grade of 1.00 g/t Au containing approximately 1,147,000 oz Au is estimated in the Inferred resource category. The mineral resource estimate is reported within a conceptual pit design shell for the Project using a long-term average gold price of

Exploration programs from 1996 to 2012 by previous operators included geological mapping, soil and rock geochemistry, trenching, surface geophysical surveys, diamond drilling and metallurgical testwork. Drilling across the Project totals 79 core holes for 24,705 metres completed from 2003 to 2012.
To date, exploration of the Project has concentrated on the
