Note
1: Business
U.S.
GoldMining Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Alaska as “BRI Alaska Corp.”
on June 30, 2015. On September 8, 2022, the Company redomiciled from Alaska to Nevada and changed its name to “U.S. GoldMining
Inc.” The Company is a subsidiary of GoldMining Inc. (“GoldMining”), a mineral exploration and development company
organized under the laws of Canada listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE American. GoldMining owns a controlling interest in
the Company of 9,878,261 shares of common stock and common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 122,490 shares of common stock,
representing approximately 78.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company as of June 30, 2025.
The
Company’s common stock and common stock purchase warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “USGO”
and “USGOW”, respectively.
The
Company is a mineral exploration company with a focus on the exploration and development of a project located in Alaska, USA. The Company’s
registered office is 3773 Howard Hughes Pkwy #500s Las Vegas, NV 89169, its principal executive office address is 1188 West Georgia Street,
Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4A2 and its head operating office address is 301 Calista Court, Suite 200, Office
203, Anchorage, AK 99518.
The
Company’s primary asset is the 100%-owned Whistler exploration property (the “Whistler Project”) located in Alaska,
USA. Access to the Whistler Project area is by fixed wing aircraft to a gravel airstrip located adjacent to the Whistler Project exploration
camp. The Company is undertaking exploration and mining studies to determine whether the Whistler Project contains mineral reserves where
extraction is technically feasible and commercially viable and whether the Whistler Project will be mined by open-pit or underground
methods.
These
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared on
a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be
able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is a resource
exploration stage company, which does not generate any revenue and has been relying mainly on equity-based financing to fund its
operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,196,616
(June 30, 2024 - $2,449,652).
The Company will require additional financing through the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to private placements, public
offerings, including under the At The Market Offering (the “ATM Program”), and short-term or long-term loans or a
combination thereof to meet its administrative costs and to continue to explore and develop the Whistler Project. There is no
assurance that sufficient future funding will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. As such, these
events and conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has a
plan, through the use of its ATM Program, to alleviate the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts
and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and
any such adjustments may be material.
Note
2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial position,
operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and US GoldMining Canada Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. The subsidiary is consolidated from the date the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until
the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
All
inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process.
Management’s
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and
estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of income and expenses during the quarters presented. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates
in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes
to be reasonable under given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, asset retirement
obligations and stock-based compensation.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’
income tax disclosures by requiring disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well
as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures
that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU-2024-03, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain
costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period, which includes amounts for inventory purchases, employee compensation,
depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and expenses related to oil and gas activities. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Equity Financing
ATM
Program
On
May 15, 2024, the
Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, covering the offering, issuance and sale of up to $40 million
of a variety of securities including the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/ or units. Additionally, the Company
entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement with a syndicate of agents for the ATM facility. Pursuant to the ATM Program, the Company
may sell up to $5.5 million shares of common stock from time to time through the sales agents. A fixed cash commission rate of 2.5% of
the gross sales price per share of common stock sold under the ATM Program will be payable to the agents in connection with any such
sales. During the three months ended June
30, 2025, the Company sold 111,422
shares of common stock under the ATM Program for gross proceeds
of $1,122,253,
with aggregate commissions paid to the agents and other share issuance and settlement costs of $33,154,
which was an average sales price of approximately $10.07 per share of common stock.
Subsequent
to June 30, 2025, the Company sold 105,517
shares of common stock under the ATM Program for gross proceeds
of $878,161,
with aggregate commissions paid or payable to the agents and other share issuance and settlement costs of $23,771.
9.2
Common and Preferred Stocks
The
authorized share capital of the Company is comprised of 300,000,000 shares of common stock with par value of $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock with par value of $0.001.
As
of June 30, 2025, there were 12,577,159 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no preferred stock issued and outstanding.
9.3
Restricted Shares
On
September 23, 2022, the Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “Legacy Incentive Plan”). The Legacy Incentive Plan
only provides for the grant of restricted stock awards. The purpose of the Legacy Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees,
directors and certain consultants and advisors of the Company or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the grant of the restricted stock awards is 1,000,000 shares
of common stock in the Company.
On
September 23, 2022, the Company granted awards of an aggregate of 635,000 shares of performance based restricted shares (the “Restricted
Shares”) under the Legacy Incentive Plan to certain of its and GoldMining’s executive officers, directors and consultants,
the terms of which were amended on May 4, 2023. These awards are subject to performance-based restrictions, whereby the restrictions
will be cancelled if certain performance conditions are met in specified periods. As of June 30, 2025, 254,000 of the 635,000 Restricted
Shares remain unvested, with the balance having become vested and no longer subject to restrictions.
The
unvested Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance
conditions are met. In addition, if such conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited
and surrendered by the holder thereof to the Company without the requirement of any further consideration. The conditions are as follows:
|
(a) |
with
respect to 15% of the Restricted Shares, if the Company has not re-established the Whistler Project camp and performed of a minimum
of 10,000 meters of drilling prior to the date that is three years after the date of grant of such award; |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
with
respect to 15% of the Restricted Shares, if the Company has not achieved a $250,000,000 market capitalization, based on the number
of shares of its outstanding common stock multiplied by the volume-weighted average price for any applicable five (5) consecutive
trading day period on the principal stock exchange on which its common stock is listed prior to the date that is five years after
the date of grant of such award; or |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
with
respect to 10% of the Restricted Shares, if the Company has not achieved a share price of
$25.00 prior to the date that is six years after the date of grant of such award. |
|
|
|
|
|
Upon
satisfaction of the conditions referenced in both (b) and (c) above (regardless of whether they occur simultaneously or consecutively),
all of the unvested Restricted Shares will be 100% vested and will be deemed Released Stock. |
|
|
|
|
|
In
the event the Company files the disclosure specified in Subpart 1300 of the SEC Regulation S-K Report with the SEC or the disclosure
specified in Canadian National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Products, to the relevant Canadian securities
regulator (the “Securities Filing”) that includes, in either disclosure, an aggregate estimate of mineral resources for
the Whistler Project or any other project owned or operated by the Company of 3,000,000 additional gold or gold equivalent ounces
from the amount reported on the disclosure specified in the Company’s Subpart 1300 of the SEC Regulation S-K Report dated September
22, 2022, 190,500 shares of the Restricted Shares will be deemed released as of the date of such Securities Filing (or if such amount
exceeds the number of shares of Restricted Shares that have not yet become Released Stock at the time, such lesser number of shares
of Restricted Shares) reducing, on a proportional basis, the number of unvested shares of Restricted Shares subject to each vesting
condition. |
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of
$1,875
and $3,829,
respectively ($3,415
and $8,121,
respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024), related to the Restricted Shares.
9.4
Share Purchase Warrants
There
were common stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,740,992 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025 (warrants to purchase
1,741,292 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024), with an exercise price of $13.00 per share. As of June 30, 2025, the
outstanding common stock purchase warrants have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.82 years.
9.5
Stock Options
On
February 6, 2023, the Company adopted a long term incentive plan (“2023 Incentive Plan”). The purpose of the 2023 Incentive
Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of the Company or its subsidiaries to remain
in the service of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2023 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (the “RSUs”), performance awards, restricted stock awards
and other cash and equity-based awards. The aggregate number shares of common stock issuable under the 2023 Incentive Plan in respect
of awards shall not exceed 10% of the common stock issued and outstanding.
The
stock options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date;
and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are six, twelve and eighteen months thereafter. The following table presents, on a weighted-average
basis, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of stock options granted:

The
Company’s potentially dilutive securities, including stock options (stock options to purchase 293,550 and 181,550 shares of common
stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively), RSUs (7,124 and nil RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively)
and warrants (warrants to purchase 1,740,992 and 1,741,292 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively),
have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore,
the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable
to common stockholders is the same.
Note
11: Financial Instruments
Financial
Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The
financial risks arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk and currency risk. These risks arise from
the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management
manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
Credit
Risk
Credit
risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company’s credit risk is primarily associated with its bank balances. The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its
bank balances by holding cash and cash equivalents with large, reputable financial institutions.
Liquidity
Risk
Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage
liquidity risk, the Company closely monitors its liquidity position to ensure it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects
and operations. The Company had working capital as of June 30, 2025, of $2,968,450. The Company’s accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
current portion of lease liabilities and other payables are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.
The
Company has not generated any revenue from operations and the only sources of financing to date have been through advances from GoldMining,
its initial public offering and the ATM Program. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations and finance exploration activities
depends on its ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to private placements, public offerings,
including under the ATM Program, and short-term or long-term loans. Capital markets may not be receptive to offerings of new equity from
treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. This may be further complicated by the limited liquidity
for the Company’s common stock, restricting access to some institutional investors. The Company’s growth and success is dependent
on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
Currency
Risk
The
Company reports its financial statements in U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when it undertakes transactions
and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currency. Financial instruments that impact the Company’s
net loss due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities which
are denominated in Canadian dollars. A 10% change in the exchange rate of U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars would have an impact of approximately
$5,200 on net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Note
12: Commitments and Contingencies
Payments
Required to Maintain the Whistler Project
The
Company is required to make annual land payments to the Department of Natural Resources of Alaska in the amount of $230,605 in 2025 and
thereafter, to keep the Whistler Project in good standing. Additionally, the Company has an annual labor requirement of $135,200 for
2025 and thereafter, for which a cash-in-lieu payment equal to the value of the annual labor requirement may be made instead.
Future
Commitments
On
November 27, 2020, GoldMining agreed to cause the Company to issue a 1.0% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on its Whistler
Project to Gold Royalty U.S. Corp. (a subsidiary of Gold Royalty Corp.). The Company also assigned certain buyback rights relating to
an existing third party royalty on the Whistler Project such that Gold Royalty U.S. Corp. has a right to acquire a 0.75% NSR (including
an area of interest) on the Whistler Project for $5,000,000 pursuant to such buyback rights. The royalty was subsequently assigned to
Nevada Select Royalty, Inc. (a subsidiary of Gold Royalty Corp.).
In
August 2015, the Company acquired rights to the Whistler Project and associated equipment pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and
among the Company, GoldMining, Kiska Metals Corporation (“Kiska”) and Geoinformatics Alaska Exploration Inc. (“Geoinformatics”).
Pursuant to such agreement, the Company acquired rights and assumed obligations under two related underlying agreements. The first underlying
agreement is a Royalty Purchase Agreement between Kiska, Geoinformatics and MF2 LLC. (“MF2”), dated December 16, 2014. This
agreement grants MF2 a 2.75 percent NSR royalty over the Whistler Project area. The MF2 royalty was subsequently assigned to Osisko Mining
(USA) Inc.. The second underlying agreement is an earlier agreement between Cominco American Incorporated and Mr. Kent Turner (whose
rights and obligations thereunder were assumed by the Company) dated October 1, 1999. This agreement concerns a 2.0 percent net profit
interest to Teck Resources, recently purchased by Sandstorm Gold, in connection with an area of interest specified by standard township
sub-division.
Subsequent
to June 30, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Equity Geoscience for the management of an exploration program for the Whistler
Project. The agreement included an approved work order totaling $1,844,000
for the period from January 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026. The
work order may be paused, postponed or terminated by either party with 30 days written notice. Additionally, as of the date of this filing,
the Company has paid $1,118,425
towards the approved work order.
Note
13: Related Party Transactions
The
Company shares personnel, including key management personnel, office space, equipment, and various administrative services with other
companies, including GoldMining. Costs incurred by GoldMining are allocated between its related subsidiaries based on an estimate of
time incurred and use of services and are charged at cost. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the allocated costs from
GoldMining to the Company were $nil ($7,400 and $18,366 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively). Out of the allocated
costs, $nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were noncash stock-based compensation costs ($4,115 and $11,381 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the allocated costs from GoldMining
were treated as a capital contribution, as there is no obligation or intent regarding the repayment of such amounts by the Company.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $2,450 and $3,707, respectively, and during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2024, $38,693 and $139,513, respectively, in general and administrative costs, paid to Blender, a company whose principal
is an immediate family member of a co-chairman and director of GoldMining, for information technology, corporate branding, sponsorships
and advertising, media, website design, maintenance and hosting services, provided by Blender to the Company.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, stock-based compensation costs included $1,182 and $2,418, respectively ($2,109 and $5,100
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024), in amounts incurred for a co-chairman and director of GoldMining for performance
based Restricted Shares granted in September 2022 (Note 9.3).
Related
party transactions are based on the amounts agreed to by the parties. During the quarters ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company
did not enter into any contracts or undertake any commitment or obligation with any related parties other than as described herein.
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
U.S.
GoldMining Inc.
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025
General
Unless
the context otherwise requires, references to “U.S. GoldMining”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”
and “our” refer to U.S. GoldMining Inc., a Nevada corporation and references to “$” or “dollars”
are to United States dollars.
This
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 2025 (the “MD&A”), is intended to assist you in better understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results
of operations of the Company. You should read this MD&A in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements included in Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (the “Quarterly
Report”), as well as our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), including the related notes contained therein.
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
MD&A includes forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws and the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, collectively referred to as “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements
include statements that relate to our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures,
financing needs and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use
of terminology such as “subject to”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “target”,
“expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “outlook”, “may”,
“will”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “can”, the negatives thereof, variations
thereon and similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans,
projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions,
are forward-looking. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| ● | our
expectations regarding raising capital and developing the Whistler Project; |
| ● | our
planned exploration activities on the Whistler Project and the goals thereof; and |
| ● | our
estimates regarding future liquidity requirements and the need for additional financing in
the future. |
These
forward-looking statements are based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical
trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable
in the circumstances, including that:
| ● | the
timing and ability to obtain requisite operational, environmental and other licenses, permits
and approvals, including extensions thereof will occur and proceed as expected; |
| ● | current
gold, silver, base metal and other commodity prices will be sustained, or will improve; |
| ● | the
proposed development of the Whistler Project will be viable operationally and economically
and will proceed as expected; |
| ● | any
additional financing required by us will be available on reasonable terms or at all; and |
| ● | the
Company will not experience any material accident, labor dispute or failure of plant or equipment. |
Despite
a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking statements, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates
and assumptions will prove to be correct.
Forward-looking
statements are necessarily based on a number of opinions, estimates and assumptions that we considered appropriate and reasonable as
of the date such statements are made, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause
the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the risk factors described in greater detail under Item 1A. Risk Factors in
our Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements.
These
factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with other cautionary statements in this document. Although we have
attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking

Recent
Developments
On
May 15, 2025, we provided an update on exploration targets at the Whistler Project, comprising three separate gold ± copper ±
silver mineral systems identified to date, including the Whistler-Raintree, Island Mountain and Muddy Creek mineral systems.
On
May 27, 2025, we provided further details on exploration targets at the Whistler Project, highlighting northern exploration targets hosted
within the Whistler-Raintree mineral system, also referred to as the Whistler Orbit, which comprises a classic porphyry cluster over
an area of approximately 5 x 5 km, containing multiple mapped and interpreted porphyry intrusions.
On
June 9, 2025, we selected Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC as the principal consulting firm to lead our proposed initial economic assessment
for the Whistler Project. The study is intended to constitute an initial assessment (“PEA”) under subpart 1300 of Regulation
S-K as issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a preliminary economic assessment under Canadian National Instrument
43-101.
On
June 16, 2025, we provided further details on exploration targets at the Whistler Project, highlighting additional high priority exploration
targets located at the Muddy Creek mineral system.
On
July 21, 2025, we announced our exploration program for the 2025 field season at the Whistler Project (the “2025 Exploration Program”)
which will focus on developing new potential porphyry gold-copper drill targets within the Whistler Orbit and undertaking follow-up mapping
and sampling at the Muddy Creek prospect.
On
July 28, 2025, we provided details on the State of Alaska’s recent announcement that the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority
has submitted a permit application for the West Susitna Access Project. This planned infrastructure initiative will directly connect
the Whistler Project via road with existing transportation infrastructure in the greater Anchorage region of south central Alaska.
At-The-Market
Equity Program
On
May 15, 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement with a syndicate of agents for the ATM facility (the “ATM
Program”). Pursuant to the ATM Program, we may sell up to $5.5 million shares of Common Stock from time to time through the
sales agents. A fixed cash commission rate of 2.5% of the gross sales price per share of Common Stock sold under the ATM Program
will be payable to the agents in connection with any such sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we sold
111,422 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of $1,122,253, with aggregate commissions paid to the agents
and other share issuance and settlement costs of $33,154, which was an average sales price of approximately $10.07 per share of common stock.
Subsequent
to June 30, 2025, we sold 105,517 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of $878,161, with aggregate commissions
paid or payable to the agents and other share issuance and settlement costs of $23,771.

For
the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a net loss of $905,020 (or $0.07 per share), compared to $1,487,203 (or $0.12 per share)
for the same period of 2024. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the decrease of exploration expenses.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had exploration expenses of $220,129, compared to $923,403 for the same period of 2024. During
the three months ended June 30, 2025, exploration expenses primarily consisted of:
| (i) | consulting
fees of $196,600, compared to $285,449 for the same period of 2024. The consulting fees during
the three months ended June 30, 2025, were primarily for metallurgical testwork, the PEA study,
and the planning and management of our exploration activities at the Whistler Project. In
addition, consulting fees to third parties to conduct regulator, community and other stakeholder
engagements; |
| (ii) | camp
and field support expenses of $18,811, compared to $185,597 for the same period of 2024.
The expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, were primarily for camp maintenance
costs and stakeholder engagement to support the Alaska state led future access road. Comparatively,
the expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024, were primarily for camp costs for
the 2024 field program, including equipment maintenance, camp management labor and supplies
for the 2024 exploration program, as well as work to support maintenance of the existing
access road between camp and drilling sites at Raintree and Whistler deposits, construction
of new trails and drill pads; |
| (iii) | transportation,
travel and other exploration expenses of $3,621, compared to $171,527 for the same period
of 2024. Such expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, were primarily for equipment
rental, drill core sample storage and travel costs related to the stakeholder engagement
program. Comparatively, the expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024, were primarily
for fuel consumption, aircraft charter costs to transport crews, equipment and supplies to
the Whistler Project, in connection with the 2024 exploration program which commenced in
June 2024, to ensure adequate stocks of equipment and consumables for the exploration program
through the third quarter of 2024; and |
| | |
| (iv) | drilling
and associated costs of $1,097, compared to $280,830 for the same period of 2024. Such expenses
during the three months ended June 30, 2025, were primarily for costs related to analytical
work on drill core samples. The decrease was primarily as a result of timing of the commencement
of the field activities at the Whistler Project. The 2025 field program commenced in July
2025, subsequent to this reporting period, whereas the 2024 field program commenced earlier,
in June 2024. |
For
the three months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenditures were $666,367, compared to $653,110 for the same period
of 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenditures primarily consisted of:
| (i) | consulting,
corporate development and investor relations expenses of $192,524, compared to $67,437 for
the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher digital marketing
expenditures during this period; |
| | |
| (ii) | stock-based
compensation expenses of $122,650, which were primarily related to the fair value of stock
options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued by us to management, directors,
consultants and employees, compared to $55,371 for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily related to vesting of stock options and RSUs granted in December 2024; |
| | |
| (iii) | office
administrative and insurance expenses of $105,636, compared to $115,833 for the same period
of 2024; |

| | |
| (v) | professional
fees of $80,261, compared to $265,780 for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily
attributable to legal and accounting fees associated with the filing of a registration statement
and the implementation of the ATM Program incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2024; |
| | |
| (vi) | filing,
listing, dues and subscriptions expenses of $46,521, compared to $54,836 for the same period of 2024; and |
| | |
| (vii) | travel, website design and hosting expenses of $16,106, compared to $7,334 for the same period of 2024. |
For
the three months ended June 30, 2025, depreciation expenses were $35,436, compared to $29,752 in the same period of 2024. The increase
was primarily due to depreciation of new equipment acquired in the prior year.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2025, our loss from operations was $926,884, compared to $1,610,760 for the same period of 2024. The
decrease was primarily for the decrease of exploration expenses.

commencement of regulator, community and other stakeholder engagements. |
| | |
| (ii) | camp
and field support expenses of $61,878, compared to $339,037 for the same period of 2024.
The camp and field support expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2025, were primarily
for camp maintenance costs and stakeholder engagement to support the Alaska state led future
access road. Comparatively, the expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2024, were
primarily for camp costs for the 2024 filed program, including equipment maintenance, camp
management labor and supplies for the 2024 exploration program, as well as work to support

deposits, construction of new trails and drill pads; |
| | |
| (iii) | transportation,
travel and other exploration expenses of $38,143, compared to $194,560 for the same period
of 2024. Such expenses were primarily for equipment rental and aircraft charter costs to
transport crews and supplies to the Whistler Project, and travel costs related to the stakeholder
engagement program. The higher expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2024, were primarily
driven by higher fuel consumptions, increased aircraft charter activity required to mobilize
crews, equipment, and supplies in connection with the 2024 exploration program; and |

of $88,243, compared to $86,261 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash was primarily due to general and administrative expenses
and exploration expenditures, partially offset by the net proceeds received from the ATM Program. We had other receivables of $23,819,
compared to $7,419 as of December 31, 2024. The increase in other receivables was mainly for interest receivables from term deposits.
We had prepaid expenses of $131,986 as of June 30, 2025, compared to $108,943 as of December 31, 2024. The increase in prepaid expenses
was primarily due to the increase of prepaid corporate development expenses and prepaid dues and subscriptions expenses, and partially
offset by the decrease of prepaid insurance expenses.
As
of June 30, 2025, we had current liabilities of $486,147, compared to $420,241 as of December 31, 2024. Current liabilities as of June
30, 2025, consisted of: (i) accounts payable of $199,345, compared to $185,251 as of December 31, 2024; (ii) accrued liabilities of $77,359,

31, 2024; (iv) other payables of $180,863, which remained the same as of December 31, 2024.
We
have not generated any revenue from operations and the only sources of financing to date have been through advances from GoldMining,
our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and our ATM Program. Our ability to meet our obligations and finance exploration
activities depends on our ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to private placements,
public offerings, including under the ATM Program, and short-term or long-term loans. Capital markets may not be receptive to offerings
of new equity from treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. This may be further complicated by the
limited liquidity for our shares of Common Stock, restricting access to some institutional investors. Our growth and success is dependent
on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
As
of June 30, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Summary

Transactions
with Related Parties
We
share personnel, including key management personnel, office space, equipment, and various administrative services with other companies,
including GoldMining. Costs incurred by GoldMining are allocated between its related subsidiaries based on an estimate of time incurred
and use of services and are charged at cost. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the allocated costs from GoldMining
to us were $nil ($7,400 and $18,366 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively). Out of the allocated costs,
$nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were noncash stock-based compensation costs ($4,115 and $11,381 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the allocated costs from GoldMining were
treated as a capital contribution, as there is no obligation or intent regarding the repayment of such amounts by us.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred $2,450 and $3,707, respectively, ($38,693 and $139,513 during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively), in general and administrative expenses related to website design, video production,
website hosting services and marketing services paid to Blender Media Inc. (“Blender”), a company whose principal is an immediate
family member of a co-chairman and director of GoldMining. Blender is a design and marketing agency that provides services to numerous
publicly traded companies.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, stock-based compensation costs included $1,182 and $2,418, respectively ($2,109 and $5,100
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024), in amounts incurred for a co-chairman and director of GoldMining for performance
based Restricted Shares granted in September 2022.
Related
party transactions are based on the amounts agreed to by the parties. During the quarters ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, we
did not enter into any contracts or undertake any commitment or obligation with any related parties other than as described herein.
Our
Audit Committee is charged with reviewing and approving all related party transactions and reviewing and making recommendations to our
board of directors or approving any contracts or other transactions with any of our current or former executive officers. The Charter
of the Audit Committee sets forth our written policy for the review of related party transactions.
Outstanding
Securities
As
of the date hereof, we have 12,682,676 shares of Common Stock outstanding, including 254,000 performance based Restricted Shares.
In addition, we have outstanding stock options issued under our long-term incentive plan to purchase 293,550 shares of Common Stock at
an exercise price of $10 per share, 7,124 outstanding RSUs, and outstanding Warrants to purchase 1,740,992 shares of Common Stock at
an exercise price of $13 per share. The exercise of stock options and Warrants is at the discretion of their respective holders and,
accordingly, there is no assurance that any of the stock options or Warrants will be exercised in the future.
Critical
Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The
preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and
expenses during the year. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income
and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances
as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Information
about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial
statements is as follows:
Asset
retirement obligation
An
asset retirement obligation represents the present value of estimated future costs for the rehabilitation of our mineral property. These
estimates include assumptions as to the future activities, cost of services, timing of the rehabilitation work to be performed, inflation
rates, exchange rates and interest rates. The actual cost to rehabilitate a mineral property may vary from the estimated amounts because
there are uncertainties in factors used to estimate the cost and potential changes in regulations or laws governing the rehabilitation
of a mineral property. Management periodically reviews the rehabilitation requirements and adjusts the liability as new information becomes
available and will assess the impact of new regulations and laws as they are enacted.
Restricted
Shares and RSUs
The
fair values of restricted shares and RSUs are measured at the grant date and recognized over the period during which the restricted shares
and RSUs vest. When restricted shares are conditional upon the achievement of a performance condition, we estimate the length
of the expected vesting period at the grant date, based on the most likely outcome of the performance condition. The fair value of the
restricted shares is determined based on the fair value of the shares of Common Stock on the grant date, adjusted for minority stockholder
discount, liquidity discount and other applicable factors that are generally recognized by market participants. The fair values of restricted
shares and RSUs are recognized as an expense over the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of restricted
shares and RSUs expected to vest; that estimate will be revised if subsequent information indicates that the number of restricted shares
and RSUs expected to vest differs from previous estimates.
Stock
Options
We
grant stock options to certain of our directors, officers, employees and consultants. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to
determine the grant date fair value of stock options. The fair value of stock options granted to employees is recognized as an expense
over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an
employee for legal or tax purposes, provides services that could be provided by a direct employee, or has authority and responsibility
for planning, directing and controlling our activities, including nonexecutive directors. The fair value is measured at grant date and
recognized over the period during which the options vest. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. The Black-Scholes option-pricing
model uses as inputs the fair value of our shares of Common Stock and assumptions we make for the volatility of our shares of Common
Stock, the expected term of our stock options, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of our stock
options and our expected dividend yield. We have historically been a private company and continue to lack sufficient company-specific
historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, we estimate our expected share volatility based on the historical volatility
of a publicly traded set of peer companies and expect to continue to do so until such time as we have adequate historical data regarding
the volatility of our own traded share price.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’
income tax disclosures by requiring disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well
as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures
that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU-2024-03, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain
costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period, which includes amounts for inventory purchases, employee compensation,
depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and expenses related to oil and gas activities. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently
evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
JOBS
Act
In
April 2012 the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage
of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or
revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards
would otherwise apply to private companies.
We
continue the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act.
Subject to certain conditions, as an emerging growth company, we may rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation,
providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which
we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of
the date of the completion of our IPO; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the
previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We
are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the United States Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and, as of June 30, 2025, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this MD&A, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute)
assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) that occurred during our last completed fiscal quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
From
time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We
are not currently a party to any material proceedings. Regardless of outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on
us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes
will be obtained.
