VANCOUVER, BC, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or
"GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG) is
pleased to announce additional assay results from the previously
announced drilling program at the Company's 100% owned São Jorge
Project ("São Jorge" or the "Project") in the
Tapajós gold district ("Tapajós"), Pará State, Brazil. The diamond core drilling component of
the program, which is now complete, consisted of 1,077 metres
("m"). The objectives of the program included confirmatory
drilling within and near the margins of the existing São Jorge gold
deposit (the "Deposit"), as well as exploratory
drilling approximately one kilometre away from known mineralization
in an area with no previous drilling.
Assay results for two additional diamond drill holes (SJD-121-24
and SJD-122-24) have been received, which combined with the
previously released hole, SJD-120-24 (see news release dated
June 18, 2024), have successfully
completed the confirmatory component of drilling within and near
the margins of the Deposit.
Highlights include:
- SJD-122-24:
- 19 m at 1.24 grams per
tonne (g/t) gold (Au) from 61 m
depth, including:
- 7 m at 2.98 g/t Au from
68 m depth.
- SJD-121-24:
- 18 m at 0.70 g/t Au from
86 m depth, including:
- 8 m at 1.14 g/t Au from
88 m
Tim Smith, Vice President of
Exploration, commented: "We are pleased to announce
additional results from the recently completed drilling at São
Jorge. The results from these two drill holes near the western
known extents of the main São Jorge deposit further help to
delineate the corridor of mineralization consisting of multiple
intercepts of gold mineralization and indicating a possible en
echelon array of mineralized veins within the broader São Jorge
high-strain corridor. Further oriented diamond core drilling
will help to model these zones and improve resource confidence.
Additionally, our auger drilling program is proceeding to map
bedrock lithology and collect geochemical samples of the in situ
saprolite located beneath broad surface soil anomalies, and it is
anticipated this will help define vectors towards possible new
zones of bedrock-hosted mineralization. We look forward to
providing further updates from the São Jorge drilling
program."
Drill Program Details and Geological Description
São Jorge lies within the active and rapidly developing Tapajós
Gold District (see Figure 1), which is estimated to
have produced over 20 million ounces of gold historically from
artisanal mining of surface deposits, according to the Brazil
National Mining Agency. The Tapajós is home to Serabi Gold Plc.'s
producing high-grade underground Palito Mine and G Mining Ventures
Corp.'s ("G Mining") brand new Tocantinzinho open pit mine,
which recently commenced commissioning of its processing facility
(see G Mining news release June 11,
2024).
São Jorge is located immediately adjacent to paved Hwy BR-163
and a new 138 kV powerline corridor, which ties into the district
electrical grid recently constructed for Tocantinzinho. Exploration
activities at São Jorge are operated from a permanent camp near the
existing Deposit and just 3 kilometres from the highway.
The Company commenced drilling at São Jorge in May 2024 (see news release dated May 29, 2024) and released results of the first
confirmatory drill hole SJD-120-24 (see news release dated
June 18, 2024) with an interval of
163 m at 1.02 g/t
Au, including 37 m at 2.26 g/t
Au (see Figure 2).
Mineralization comprises fracture-controlled sulphide ± quartz
veins, with the sulphides consisting of dominant pyrite with lesser
chalcopyrite, along metre-scale northwest-southeast striking shear
zones hosted within monzogranite and along a sheared footwall
contact between monzogranite and syenogranite, which cumulatively
defines the São Jorge high-strain corridor. Pyrite occurs as
hairline stringers, disseminated grains and semi-massive pyrite in
3 – 5 cm thick veins. Higher gold grades are related to a higher
abundance of sulphide minerals, particularly thicker veins, and/or
a higher density of semi-massive to massive pyrite veins (see
Figure 3).
SJD-121-24 and SJD-122-24 provided additional infill drilling in
the western portion of the Deposit to support potential future
resource interpolation and classification (see Figure 4).
Drilling intersected multiple zones of mineralization hosted within
the São Jorge high-strain corridor. SJD-122-24 demonstrated strong
mineralization directly along strike of the main Deposit.
SJD-121-24 intersected several zones of mineralization north of the
established Deposit strike direction, representing possible en
echelon northwest stepping of mineralized structures within a
large low-grade envelope associated with the broader São Jorge
high-strain corridor. See Tables 1
and 2 below for further information regarding the drilling.
For additional information regarding the São Jorge Project,
including existing resource estimates and historical work at the
project, please refer to the technical report titled "São Jorge
Gold Project, Pará State, Brazil:
Independent Technical Report on Mineral Resources", prepared for
the Company and dated effective May 31,
2021, which is available under the Company's profile at

Paulo Pereira, P. Geo., President
of GoldMining, has supervised the preparation of, and verified and
approved, the scientific and technical information herein this news
release. Mr. Pereira is a Qualified Person as defined in National
Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects

Data Verification
For this drill core sampling program, samples were taken from
the NQ/HQ core by sawing the drill core in half, with one-half sent
to SGS Geosol Laboratórios Ltda. ("SGS") in Brazil for assaying, and the other half
of the core retained at the site for future reference. Sample
lengths downhole were uniformly 1.0
m. SGS is a certified commercial laboratory in Vespasiano,
Minas Gerais, Brazil, and is
independent of GoldMining. GoldMining has implemented a quality
assurance and quality control program for the sampling and analysis
of drill core, including duplicates, mineralized standards and
blank samples for each batch of 100 samples. The gold analyses were
completed by FAA505 method (fire-assay with an atomic absorption
finish on 50 grams of material).
