VANCOUVER, BC, April 14, 2025 /CNW/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized drilling equipment and geological staff in order to initiate its previously announced exploration program at its 100% owned São Jorge Project ("São Jorge" or the "Project") in the Tapajós gold district, Pará State, Brazil. The program is the largest exploration program initiated by the Company to date.
Highlights:
Planned diamond core drilling campaign of up to 5,000 metres
Additional auger drilling of up to 3,000 metres
Soil sampling program of up to 6,000 samples
Airborne Lidar survey and ground geophysics including Induced Polarisation ("IP")
Field activities will be conducted from the existing 35-person São Jorge exploration camp, with grid power, and located approximately 2km from paved Highway 163
Alastair Still, Chief Executive Officer of GoldMining, commented: "We are excited to be back in the field at São Jorge conducting the largest exploration program in the 14+ year history of our Company. The excellent infrastructure of the Project including an existing 35-person camp, easy access to paved highway and grid power, as well as local supply chain, services and workers, has allowed a rapid ramp-up of our exploration activities. Systematic drilling to target expansion of the São Jorge deposit along strike and to test new zones highlighted by geochemical and geophysical targets, has us ideally positioned to better quantify the gold endowment of a highly prospective regional-scale property in the rapidly emerging Tapajós gold district."
About São Jorge
The São Jorge Gold Project is located within the Tapajós gold district situated in the south-central portion of the Amazon Craton. The São Jorge mineral deposit (the "Deposit") is best classified as a granite-hosted, intrusion-related gold deposit, similar to the Tocantinzinho gold deposit located approximately 80km northwest of São Jorge (see Figure1). Exploration activities carried out by the Company over the past two years have successfully delineated several new exploration targets comprising gold ± copper ± molybdenum ± silver soil geochemical anomalies, which cumulatively outlines a potential large mineral system defined by a 12kmx7km geochemical footprint surrounding the Deposit (see Figure2).
2025 São Jorge Exploration Plans
The Company has already commenced field activities including soil sampling, mapping and prospecting (see news release dated February 26, March 18, 2025), and has now begun to mobilize drill rigs and personnel to commence the diamond core drilling program (the "Program") for the 2025 field season. The Company plans to utilize two diamond core drill rigs to conduct the drill program utilizing Layne Drilling (Layne do Brasil Sondages S.A.), the same contractor the Company appointed to conduct the 2024 drilling that was completed efficiently and with no safety or environmental incidents.
The initial program will comprise fences of drill holes targeting the potential extension of the known limits of the Deposit along trend to the northwest and southeast (see Figure 2). Pending results, the Company may determine to undertake further step-out drill fences along strike to continue to test the prospective structural corridor.
In the 2024 drill program, numerous high-grade shallow auger drill intercepts at the William South prospect generated compelling targets to systematically explore for new gold discoveries within the broader São Jorge mineral system. The 2025 program will also undertake the first ever deeper drill testing of these new targets (see Figure 2).
