GoldMining Updates NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Rea Uranium
Project; A Large, Drill Permitted Claim Package in the Western Athabasca
Basin, Canada
VANCOUVER, BC
,
May 28, 2025
/CNW/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "
Company
" or "
GoldMining
") (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG) is pleased to report that it
has filed an updated technical report for the Company's Rea Uranium Project (
"Rea Project"
or the
"Project"
) in the Western Athabasca Basin,
Alberta, Canada
.
The updated technical report titled, "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Geological Introduction to the Rea Uranium Project,
Alberta, Canada
" has an effective date of
April 30, 2025
(the
"Technical Report"
).
The Rea Project is owned 75% by the Company and 25% by Orano Canada Inc. ("
Orano
") (for location see Figure 1). The Company's proposed metallic
minerals exploration application for the Project has been reviewed by the Alberta Energy Regulator and authorized as an approved exploration program (see
May
1, 2025
news release). The large land package of approximately 125,328 hectares surrounds Oranoꞌs high-grade
Dragon Lake
prospect at its Maybelle River
project. Recently discovered uranium deposits located 60 km to the southeast of the Rea Project include Paladin Energy Limited's ("
Paladin
") Triple R deposit
and NexGen Energy Inc.'s ("
NexGen
") Arrow deposit, which are currently in development.
The qualified person has been unable to verify the adjacent-property information, and therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization
that is the subject of the Technical Report.
Highlights:
The Rea Uranium Project was acquired by GoldMining as part of its acquisition of Brazilian gold properties in 2013. The Company plans to continue to
advance the Project given the increasing importance of uranium in the energy sector. Uranium is expected to play a lead role in the growing demand for
cleaner energy sources of electricity.
The Athabasca Basin is home to some of the world's richest uranium mines and highest-grade uranium deposits and is currently estimated to contribute
approximately 15% of the annual world-wide uranium production.
The Rea Project surrounds Orano's Maybelle River project that hosts shallow (<200 metres below surface) uranium mineralization at the
Dragon Lake
deposit. The geological structure hosting
Dragon Lake
(the Maybelle River Corridor – see Figure 2) is projected to extend over an additional 11 kilometres of
strike across the northern Rea Project.
Apart from the adjacent Maybelle River project, the western
Alberta
portion of the basin has, by comparison, had minimal exploration to date.
The Project is in a relatively underexplored area that has seen renewed exploration activity as a result of recent near surface, basement hosted, high-grade
uranium discoveries by NexGen and Paladin in the nearby Patterson Lake area (see Figure 1).
GoldMining has identified 70 kilometres of prospective trends in three distinct corridors for future exploration: Maybelle River, Net Lake, and
Keane Lake
.
The Company's proposed uranium exploration program at the Rea Project has been approved to proceed by the Alberta Energy Regulator.
Alastair Still
, CEO of the Company, stated: "We are pleased to announce the updated Technical Report for our prospective Rea Uranium Project which is another
important step to advancing to exploration at the Project and is consistent with our broader strategy of seeking to unlock further value for our shareholders across
our asset portfolio. As the importance of uranium grows as a fuel for increasing clean energy demands, we continue to work with local stakeholders to develop a
sustainable phased approach to exploration and we remain excited about the potential to daylight value from this asset for our shareholders."
Rea Uranium Project
The Project is located on the western edge of the
Athabasca
Basin in northeastern
Alberta
, about 45 kilometres west-southwest of Cluff Lake and approximately
185 kilometres north-northwest of
Fort McMurray
. The Rea Project consists of 16 Alberta Rock-Hosted Mineral Permits (permits), totaling 125,328 hectares.
Access to the Rea Project is by helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft year-round or winter road that connects Fort McKay with
Fort Chipewyan
from January to March
of each year depending on winter conditions. There are some access roads on the Project that can be used for all-terrain vehicles. The largest nearby town of
Fort McMurray
services mineral exploration and mining in the district.

The rocks underlying the western part of the
Athabasca
Basin comprise complexly deformed and strongly metamorphosed Archean to Paleoproterozoic crystalline
basement rocks of the Lloyd Domain (Careen Lake Group) of the Rae geological province. The basement rocks comprise a dominantly supracrustal package of
psammo-pelitic gneiss, psammitic gneiss, pelitic gneiss, and garnet diatexite with subordinate metaquartzite, amphibolite, and ultramafic rock that are currently
assigned to the Careen Lake Group. The supracrustral rocks were later intruded by significant amounts of granodiorite, quartz diorite, monzodiorite, and minor
gabbro that, collectively, are termed the 'quartz diorite suite'.
In 2005, the Rea Project land package surrounding the Maybelle River project was acquired by BGC, which was subsequently acquired by GoldMining in 2013.
With respect to mineralization, several targeted corridors for future exploration have been delineated by GoldMining based on historical geophysical conductors,
surficial geochemical anomalies, and drillholes that encountered subsurface zones with uranium. In the southwest part of the Rea Project, the Net Lake corridor
comprises a prospective sandstone unit within which historic drilling yielded uranium concentrations of up to 48 ppm total uranium ("U"), as well as trace amounts
of graphite in the basement rock. In the north portion of the Project historic drilling along the extension of the Maybelle River corridor yielded 87 ppm total U over 1
metre. Additionally, drill core along the Maybelle River corridor intersected clay alteration, breccia zones and dravite, which represent features associated with
unconformity uranium deposits elsewhere in the
Athabasca
Basin.
GoldMining commissioned Fathom Geophysics to reprocess and interpret historical airborne geophysical data. As a result of the work, over 70 kilometres of
prospective trends were identified in three distinct corridors for future exploration: Maybelle River, Net Lake, and
Keane Lake
. These corridors exhibit geophysical
signatures that are interpreted as graphite-bearing shear zones with potential to host unconformity-style uranium mineralization (see Figure 2).
