U.S. GoldMining Inc. Highlights Northern Exploration Targets at the Whistler Gold-Copper Project, Alaska
U.S. GoldMining Inc. provided further detail regarding its high priority exploration targets for the northern part of its Whistler Gold-Copper Project (the "Whistler Project" or the "Project") in Alaska, U.S.A. Highlights: The Whistler - Raintree mineral system, also referred to as the 'Whistler Orbit', comprises a classic 'porphyry cluster' spread over an area of approximately 5 x 5 km, containing multiple mapped and interpreted porphyry intrusions and including the established Whistler and Raintree West mineral resource deposits. Porphyry deposits are the primary source of copper globally and can also contain significant other metals such as gold, silver and molybdenum.1 Whistler represents a gold-rich variant of the porphyry family. Over 25 individual exploration targets are identified within the Whistler Orbit area, comprising a mix of mapped diorite porphyry rocks and/or surface geochemical anomalies, and interpreted diorite porphyry stocks and dykes from 3D magnetic modelling. The potential for new discoveries within the Whistler Orbit was exemplified by the recently announced drilling results south of Raintree West deposit which included 138.0 m at 0.99 g/t AuEq (comprised of 0.89 g/t Au and 0.05% Cu) plus 17.57 g/t Ag, 0.44% Pb and 0.95% Zn, located 500 meters south of the Raintree West deposit in an area with no previous drilling. The peak intercept from historic drillhole WH11-034, drilled in 2011 at the Raintree North prospect, comprised 120.66 meters at 0.73 g/t AuEq. (containing 0.46 g/t AuEq, 0.16% Cu & 1.68 g/t Ag) from 177.0 meters down hole, providing encouragement for the possibility of additional porphyry mineralization in an area that warrants additional drill testing. Hotfoot, located approx. 0.75 kilometers south of Raintree West deposits, comprises a large pipe-shaped magnetic feature similar to the host of the Whistler deposit. A single historic drill hole (RG11-032) intersected potassic and phyllic alteration suggestive of porphyry mineralization nearby. Also, the recently announced drill discovery (138.0 m at 0. 99 g/t AuEq) located 500 meters south of Raintree West Deposit, could represent distal veining from a relatively nearby porphyry source, for which Hotfoot is a potential candidate. The Company's geological analysis and exploration planning remains ongoing. Potential future exploration programs would be expected to run in parallel with the Company's previously announced initial economic assessment for the Project, thereby seeking to develop Whistler's full potential by investigating not only the base case mine development potential of the existing resources, but also to build a pipeline of future potential resources which could feed into a larger potential mining opportunity at the Whistler Project in future. Start dates for exploration have not been determined yet.
