VANCOUVER, BC, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - GoldMining Inc. (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG) (the "Company" or "GoldMining") is pleased to announce the results of a preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") on its São Jorge Project (the "Project"), located in Pará State, Brazil.
All currency amounts herein are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
PEA Highlights
- Strong Base Case Economics: The PEA sets out a base case scenario with an after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate ("NPV5%") of $532 million and an after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of 42.4% utilizing base case gold price of $3,500 per ounce ("oz") and an initial payback of 2.8 years.
- Leverage to Gold Price: At spot gold prices ($4,400/oz), the after-tax NPV5% increases to $836.8 million, yielding an IRR of 58.6% and an initial payback of just 2.4 years.
- High Capital Efficiency & Infrastructure Advantage: Initial capital is estimated at a highly manageable $202 million (including a 25% contingency), representing an attractive 2.6x base case NPV5% to initial capital ratio. This relatively low capital hurdle is directly supported by the Project's ideal location, situated adjacent to existing power lines, paved highways, and an available skilled workforce.
- Balance Sheet Backing: The Company's strong balance sheet comprising approximately $183 million1 in cash and publicly traded securities positions it well to advance the Project through the next stages of development.
- Cash Generator for the Company: The PEA envisages a robust internal free cash flow, supported by a stable gold production profile averaging an estimated 51,250 oz annually over a 10.6-year life of mine ("LOM"), with peak gold production of 57,200 oz per year in years 2 through 4.
- Resilient Cost Profile: The PEA highlights relatively strong estimated margins, supported by an estimated life of mine All-In Sustaining Cost ("AISC") of $1,464/oz.
- Conventional Operation: The PEA contemplates a conventional open-pit truck-and-shovel operation and a processing rate of 5,500 tonnes per day. A proven processing flowsheet utilizing standard gravity and leach circuits achieves high metallurgical recoveries of 90% Au.
- Advancing Pre-Feasibility Studies: The Company plans to expeditiously commence pre-feasibility studies as the Project is further de-risked and moves forward with permitting towards a construction decision.
Alastair Still, CEO of GoldMining commented, "The São Jorge PEA marks a significant milestone in the advancement of our corporate strategy. By combining a manageable $202 million initial capital investment with a robust $532 million base case NPV5%, we have outlined a highly efficient, construction-track asset on a regional-scale property that retains significant exploration potential for additional resource growth. More than just a standalone project, the PEA highlights that São Jorge has the potential for resilient margins and rapid payback potential to become a cornerstone self-funding asset for us. With robust economics, we look forward to rapidly advancing and de-risking the Project with permitting and pre-feasibility studies to unlock further value across our gold-focused multi-million ounce Americas portfolio."
The PEA is preliminary in nature, and there is no certainty that the reported results will be realized. The PEA includes Inferred Mineral Resources, which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that this PEA, including the conceptual economics set out therein, will be realized.

São Jorge PEA Summary
The São Jorge Project is located in the southeastern portion of Pará State, Brazil, in the municipality of Novo Progresso, approximately 460 km southeast of the main regional city of Santarem and approximately 70 km north of the town of Novo Progresso. Regional highway BR-163, an all-weather paved road, passes through the Project area. The city of Itaituba is located approximately 250 km north of the Project.
The current mineral resource estimate for São Jorge was reported in the Company's technical report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report São Jorge Project, Para State, Brazil" dated effective January 28, 2025. The PEA is based on such estimate.
The PEA considers a conventional drill, blast, load, and haul open pit operation mining an average of 27,000 tpd (9.9 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) over the 10.6 year life of mine. It contemplates that resources will be processed at a nominal rate of 5,500 tpd (1.9 Mtpa) at an average strip ratio of 4.27:1. Conventional gravity and leach circuit is planned to generate gold doré on site.
The PEA includes on-site development including mining, haul roads, access roads, process facilities, tailings and waste storage facilities, and related ancillary facilities. Construction is anticipated to take approximately two years with an initial capital expenditure of $202.2 million, including a healthy 25% contingency, with operations continuing for 10.6 years. Sustaining capital expenditures over the LOM are expected to be approximately $53 million, consisting of a mix of mining capital equipment and staged expansion of the tailings and waste facilities. Closure costs have been estimated at $12 million. LOM operating costs are expected to average $34.88/t of material processed.
Under the PEA, highest metal production occurs in the initial five years of production averaging 53.4 koz Au annual production. LOM average production is 51.2 koz Au.

The São Jorge Deposit
The São Jorge Gold Project is located in the Tapajós gold district (see Figure 3) in the south-central portion of the Amazon Craton. The São Jorge gold deposit is a granite-hosted, intrusion-related gold mineral system which is a similar style to the Tocantinzinho gold mine owned and operated by G Mining located approximately 80 km northwest of São Jorge, that commenced commercial production in 2024 and produced 171,871 ounces of gold in 2025.
Exploration activities at the Project 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 outline a large mineral system (see news releases dated March 18, 2025 and April 14, 2025). The São Jorge mineral system is defined by a comprehensive exploration data set which the Company has developed over previous systematic exploration campaigns. Surrounding the currently delineated São Jorge deposit, which has a defined 1.4 km strike length, the broader mineral system comprises a zone of contiguous surface geochemical anomalies over an area of 12 km x 7 km, which the Company interprets to be the surface expression of a broad intrusion related gold system.
Mineral Resource Estimate
The PEA is based on the Company's existing previously disclosed mineral resource estimate, which is summarized in the table below.

Notice to Readers
Disclosure regarding the Project, including the PEA and Mineral Resource Estimates included herein, has been prepared by the Company in accordance with NI 43-101. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for public disclosure by issuer of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") generally applicable to U.S. companies subject to the SEC's disclosure requirements. For example, the terms "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are defined in NI 43-101 by reference to the guidelines set out in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. Accordingly, information contained herein or in the Company's descriptions of its projects may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.
Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of "Measured" or "Indicated" Mineral Resource will ever be converted into "reserves". Investors should also understand that "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian rules, estimated "Inferred Mineral Resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases.
