Mining Industry Analyst

GoldMining advances its Rea Uranium Project with new technical report and exploration approval in the promising Athabasca Basin.

GoldMining's updated technical report for its 75%-owned Rea Uranium Project represents a strategic positioning in the uranium sector at a time when nuclear energy is gaining renewed attention. The 125,328-hectare property in Alberta's portion of the Athabasca Basin—home to some of the world's richest uranium deposits—has received regulatory approval to proceed with exploration, removing a key hurdle for development.

What makes this property particularly interesting is its location surrounding Orano's Maybelle River project, which hosts the Dragon Lake uranium deposit. The geological structure hosting Dragon Lake is projected to extend an additional 11 kilometers across GoldMining's northern property. The company has identified 70 kilometers of prospective trends across three distinct corridors: Maybelle River, Net Lake, and Keane Lake.

Historical drilling has shown promising indicators, with samples yielding up to 48 ppm total uranium in the Net Lake corridor and 87 ppm total uranium over 1 meter in the Maybelle River corridor. The presence of clay alteration, breccia zones, and dravite in drill core are particularly encouraging, as these features are associated with unconformity uranium deposits elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin.

The western Alberta portion of the basin remains relatively underexplored compared to other areas, creating potential opportunity. Recent high-grade uranium discoveries by NexGen and Paladin in the nearby Patterson Lake area have renewed interest in this region. While GoldMining acquired this asset as part of a broader gold property acquisition in 2013, they appear to be pivoting to capitalize on uranium's growing importance in clean energy markets.

The completion of this technical report, coupled with exploration permits, indicates GoldMining is making concrete steps to advance and potentially monetize this non-core asset within their portfolio. For a company primarily focused on gold, this represents a diversification opportunity tied to the growing demand for uranium in the global energy transition.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG) is pleased to report that it has filed an updated technical report for the Company's Rea Uranium Project ("Rea Project" or the "Project") in the Western Athabasca Basin, Alberta, Canada. The updated technical report titled, "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Geological Introduction to the Rea Uranium Project, Alberta, Canada" has an effective date of April 30, 2025 (the "Technical Report").

The Rea Project is owned 75% by the Company and 25% by Orano Canada Inc. ("Orano") (for location see Figure 1). The Company's proposed metallic minerals exploration application for the Project has been reviewed by the Alberta Energy Regulator and authorized as an approved exploration program (see May 1, 2025 news release). The large land package of approximately 125,328 hectares surrounds Oranoꞌs high-grade Dragon Lake prospect at its Maybelle River project. Recently discovered uranium deposits located 60 km to the southeast of the Rea Project include Paladin Energy Limited's ("Paladin") Triple R deposit and NexGen Energy Inc.'s ("NexGen") Arrow deposit, which are currently in development.

The qualified person has been unable to verify the adjacent-property information, and therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization that is the subject of the Technical Report.

Highlights:

• The Rea Uranium Project was acquired by GoldMining as part of its acquisition of Brazilian gold properties in 2013. The Company plans to continue to advance the Project given the increasing importance of uranium in the energy sector. Uranium is expected to play a lead role in the growing demand for cleaner energy sources of electricity.
  
  
• The Athabasca Basin is home to some of the world's richest uranium mines and highest-grade uranium deposits and is currently estimated to contribute approximately 15% of the annual world-wide uranium production.
  
  
• The Rea Project surrounds Orano's Maybelle River project that hosts shallow (<200 metres below surface) uranium mineralization at the Dragon Lake deposit.  The geological structure hosting Dragon Lake (the Maybelle River Corridor – see Figure 2) is projected to extend over an additional 11 kilometres of strike across the northern Rea Project.
  
  
• Apart from the adjacent Maybelle River project, the western Alberta portion of the basin has, by comparison, had minimal exploration to date.
  
  
• The Project is in a relatively underexplored area that has seen renewed exploration activity as a result of recent near surface, basement hosted, high-grade uranium discoveries by NexGen and Paladin in the nearby Patterson Lake area (see Figure 1).
  
  
• GoldMining has identified 70 kilometres of prospective trends in three distinct corridors for future exploration: Maybelle River, Net Lake, and Keane Lake.
  
  
• The Company's proposed uranium exploration program at the Rea Project has been approved to proceed by the Alberta Energy Regulator.

Alastair Still, CEO of the Company, stated: "We are pleased to announce the updated Technical Report for our prospective Rea Uranium Project which is another important step to advancing to exploration at the Project and is consistent with our broader strategy of seeking to unlock further value for our shareholders across our asset portfolio. As the importance of uranium grows as a fuel for increasing clean energy demands, we continue to work with local stakeholders to develop a sustainable phased approach to exploration and we remain excited about the potential to daylight value from this asset for our shareholders."

Rea Uranium Project

The Project is located on the western edge of the Athabasca Basin in northeastern Alberta, about 45 kilometres west-southwest of Cluff Lake and approximately 185 kilometres north-northwest of Fort McMurray. The Rea Project consists of 16 Alberta Rock-Hosted Mineral Permits (permits), totaling 125,328 hectares.

Access to the Rea Project is by helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft year-round or winter road that connects Fort McKay with Fort Chipewyan from January to March of each year depending on winter conditions. There are some access roads on the Project that can be used for all-terrain vehicles. The largest nearby town of Fort McMurray services mineral exploration and mining in the district.

The rocks underlying the western part of the Athabasca Basin comprise complexly deformed and strongly metamorphosed Archean to Paleoproterozoic crystalline basement rocks of the Lloyd Domain (Careen Lake Group) of the Rae geological province. The basement rocks comprise a dominantly supracrustal package of psammo-pelitic gneiss, psammitic gneiss, pelitic gneiss, and garnet diatexite with subordinate metaquartzite, amphibolite, and ultramafic rock that are currently assigned to the Careen Lake Group. The supracrustral rocks were later intruded by significant amounts of granodiorite, quartz diorite, monzodiorite, and minor gabbro that, collectively, are termed the 'quartz diorite suite'.

In 2005, the Rea Project land package surrounding the Maybelle River project was acquired by BGC, which was subsequently acquired by GoldMining in 2013.

With respect to mineralization, several targeted corridors for future exploration have been delineated by GoldMining based on historical geophysical conductors, surficial geochemical anomalies, and drillholes that encountered subsurface zones with uranium. In the southwest part of the Rea Project, the Net Lake corridor comprises a prospective sandstone unit within which historic drilling yielded uranium concentrations of up to 48 ppm total uranium ("U"), as well as trace amounts of graphite in the basement rock. In the north portion of the Project historic drilling along the extension of the Maybelle River corridor yielded 87 ppm total U over 1 metre. Additionally, drill core along the Maybelle River corridor intersected clay alteration, breccia zones and dravite, which represent features associated with unconformity uranium deposits elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin.

GoldMining commissioned Fathom Geophysics to reprocess and interpret historical airborne geophysical data. As a result of the work, over 70 kilometres of prospective trends were identified in three distinct corridors for future exploration: Maybelle River, Net Lake, and Keane Lake. These corridors exhibit geophysical signatures that are interpreted as graphite-bearing shear zones with potential to host unconformity-style uranium mineralization (see Figure 2).
