GoldMining's Strategic Position in the Uranium Sector

GoldMining, with its extensive footprint in the resource sector, is focusing on uranium exploration through its 75% ownership of the Rea Uranium Project, alongside Orano Canada’s 25% stake. The project covers a sizable land package of approximately 125,328 hectares, which surrounds the Dragon Lake prospect of Orano’s Maybelle River project. This area is in close proximity to some of the most high-profile uranium deposits globally, including Paladin Energy’s Triple R deposit and NexGen Energy’s Arrow deposit.

Exploration Program Details

With regulatory approval secured, GoldMining is set to begin a drilling program that will involve up to fifteen diamond core drill holes. These drill holes are intended to reach depths of up to five hundred meters, contributing to an exploration total of up to seven thousand five hundred meters. The company has outlined a versatile approach, utilizing either a small portable tracked or skid-mounted drill rig for ground-based drilling or a helicopter-portable rig for more remote locations. The methodical drilling approach will focus on identifying areas with geophysical signatures consistent with those seen in other well-established Athabasca Basin uranium deposits.

Commitment to Indigenous Engagement

GoldMining has worked proactively to ensure thorough and respectful engagement with Indigenous communities throughout the planning stages of the Rea Uranium Project. The company has already received a consultation adequacy decision from the Aboriginal Consultation Office of Alberta, recognizing the alignment of the exploration plans with regional consultation requirements. Although this decision confirms the adequacy of initial engagement efforts, GoldMining remains committed to further dialogue and collaboration as the exploration program moves forward.

Alberta's Uranium Landscape and Future Implications

The Western Athabasca Basin remains one of the most prominent uranium exploration regions in the world. This area has a proven track record of hosting high-grade uranium deposits, making it an area of significant interest for companies like GoldMining. By progressing with its exploration activities at the Rea Uranium Project, GoldMining aims to further solidify its position in the uranium sector, capitalizing on the region's potential and aligning with the ongoing development of nearby world-class uranium resources.

With regulatory approval now in hand and a detailed exploration plan in place, GoldMining is set to continue its momentum in the uranium space.
