GOLDMINING COMPLETES SALE OF NUTMEG MOUNTAIN TO NEVGOLD AND RECEIVES $3 MILLION IN NEVGOLD SHARES

Goldmining Inc., pursuant to its previously announced option agreement with Nevgold Corp. dated June 14, 2022, has received payment in the amount of $3-million, which, pursuant to the terms of the option agreement, was satisfied by Nevgold by issuing to the company 10 million common shares. As a result, the company has completed the sale of the Nutmeg Mountain project (previously known as Almaden) to a subsidiary of Nevgold.

The sale of the project crystallizes immediate value for Goldmining, while allowing it to retain potential upside to the project's future potential and remain focused on advancing and unlocking value from the other assets in the Goldmining portfolio. Goldmining now has $132-million of aggregate equity holdings in Nevgold, U.S. Goldmining Inc. and Gold Royalty Corp.

Transaction highlights:

  • The company has received 10 million Nevgold shares in satisfaction of the final $3-million payment under the option agreement. The Nevgold shares were issued at a deemed price of 30 cents per share.
  • The transaction realized an attractive rate of return for Goldmining, with total consideration received being $9-million for the project, which was acquired in 2020 for consideration of $1.15-million.
  • Following the transaction, Goldmining is the largest shareholder of Nevgold, holding approximately 29.4 per cent of the outstanding Nevgold shares. This provides the company continued exposure to the potential upside of Nutmeg Mountain, as well as Nevgold's other assets in Nevada and British Columbia.
  • Going forward, Nevgold is required to make additional contingent payments to the company of up to $7.5-million pursuant to the option agreement, payable in cash or shares at Nevgold's election as follows:
    • $500,000 on announcement or filing of a preliminary economic assessment in respect of the project;
    • $2.5-million on announcement or filing of a preliminary feasibility study in respect of the project;
    • $4.5-million on announcement or filing of a feasibility study in respect of the project.
  • The transaction allowed the Goldmining management team to crystallize value while remaining focused on unlocking value and advancing its other assets throughout North and South America.

Alastair Still, Goldmining's chief executive officer, commented: "We are pleased to complete the sale of the project to Nevgold and to retain exposure to potential upside at the project as the largest shareholder of Nevgold. By completing this transaction, the Nevgold team benefits from synergies with their projects in neighbouring Nevada and has completed the required expenditures and advanced the project. Additionally, Goldmining retains future upside from the project through the success-based contingent payments of up to $7.5-million on Nevgold reaching certain milestones. With many high-priority untested drill targets, we are excited to see Nevgold continue to advance Nutmeg Mountain, as well as their other projects in Nevada and British Columbia. For Goldmining, the transaction allows us to remain focused on our strategic initiatives, while bolstering our balance sheet through our strategic investment in Nevgold."
