Insights

Financial Analyst

U.S. GoldMining's Russell 3000 inclusion validates GoldMining's strategy of creating shareholder value through strategic subsidiaries and equity holdings.

The addition of U.S. GoldMining to the Russell 3000^® Index represents a significant milestone that validates GoldMining's strategic approach to value creation. This index inclusion typically brings increased visibility, liquidity, and institutional investor interest to U.S. GoldMining, potentially enhancing the value of GoldMining's 79% ownership stake (worth approximately $131 million).

What's particularly notable is GoldMining's broader equity portfolio strategy. The company has built a diversified $197 million equity portfolio consisting of:

• 9.9 million shares of U.S. GoldMining ($131 million)
• 21.5+ million shares of Gold Royalty Corp. ($56 million)
• 26+ million shares of NevGold Corp. ($10 million)

This equity portfolio nearly matches GoldMining's entire market capitalization of $210 million, creating an interesting valuation proposition where investors essentially get GoldMining's substantial resource base (12.4 million gold equivalent ounces measured & indicated and 9.1 million inferred) for minimal additional cost. The company's debt-free status further strengthens its financial position.

The Russell 3000^® inclusion serves as third-party validation of U.S. GoldMining's growth and could drive additional investor interest in both U.S. GoldMining and its parent company. This development reinforces GoldMining's strategic approach of creating and spinning out subsidiaries to unlock value while maintaining significant ownership stakes.
