U.S. GoldMining Provides Update on Exploration Targets at the Whistler Gold-Copper Project, Alaska
, May 15, 2025 /CNW/ - U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ: USGO) (" U.S. GoldMining" or the " Company") is pleased to provide an update on the results of exploration target delineation and analysis performed for the Whistler Gold-Copper Project (the " Whistler Project" or the " Project") in Alaska, U.S.A.
Highlights:
The Whistler Project lies within the emerging West Susitna Mineral District located just 100 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska.
The Company's 100% owned land package consists of 53,700 acres of State mining claims encompassing three separate gold ± copper ± silver mineral systems identified to date.
Whistler - Raintree mineral system – includes the Whistler and Raintree West deposits which are hosted within the broader Whistler Orbit intrusive center, comprising multiple additional mapped porphyry intrusions spread over an area of approximately 5 x 5 km, interpreted as a classic 'porphyry cluster' with potential for additional gold ± copper ± silver mineralization to be discovered.
Island Mountain mineral system – encompasses the known Island Mountain deposit plus several additional porphyry or intrusion related gold targets over an area of mapped intrusive rocks with diameter of +3 km.
Muddy Creek mineral system – a large gold-in-soil geochemical footprint over an area of approximately 6 km x 4 km with an intrusion-related gold geochemical signature.
The Company is currently undertaking further analysis to rank and prioritize the numerous targets located across each of the three gold ± copper ± silver mineral systems identified to date, and to develop phased exploration programs which could commence this coming summer.
Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "The three Au-Cu-Ag porphyry deposits which comprise the existing Whistler Project mineral resource estimate - Whistler, Raintree and Island Mountain - occupy only ~1% of the Company's land holdings, highlighting the broader potential for the Project. Across the Project's large land package, we have identified numerous additional porphyry or intrusion related drill targets. Importantly, we recognize that the initial deposits delineated from approximately 75,000 meters of drilling completed to date, each occur within a broader mineral system that encompasses similar geological characteristics with the known deposits, thereby highlighting the potential for further discoveries using proven exploration vectors and methodologies.
In addition to the recently announced initial economic assessment launched on the known gold-copper deposits, plus numerous exploration targets defined for further growth, Whistler is located proximally to major infrastructure and stands to benefit from partnering on State-led initiatives that will connect the Project to that infrastructure via the planned West Susitna Access Road. Furthermore, Whistler is situated within one of the more favorable mining jurisdictions in the United States, which is experiencing strong political tailwinds at both State and Federal levels. Coupled with recent all-time high gold prices and predicted strong future demand for copper, we are strongly encouraged by the potential to unlock significant additional value for stakeholders in 2025 and beyond."
The Company's geological analysis conducted since completing the 2024 drilling campaign, indicates significant potential to build upon the Company's first two highly successful field seasons completed at Whistler during the summer of 2023 and 2024, and incorporates knowledge compiled from drilling, relogging of historical drill core, surface mapping and sampling, and geophysical processing and interpretation.
Potential exploration programs are expected to run in parallel to the Company's previously announced initial economic assessment for the Project, thereby maximizing Whistler's full potential in investigating not only the mine development potential of the existing resources, but also to build a pipeline of resources which could feed into a larger potential future mining opportunity at the Whistler Project. Exploration programs, which are currently in the design phase, would aim to build upon the successes of the 2023-2024 exploration programs, that included:
The longest drill intercept of consistent mineralization ever recorded at the Whistler Deposit: 652.5 meters (m) at 0.73 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), 0.16% copper (Cu) and 1.5 g/t silver (Ag), or 1.00 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) *, from 7.0 m to 659.5 m down hole. See news release dated September 30, 2024, for further information.
A new drill discovery announced near Raintree West: 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. See news release dated February 10, 2025, for further information.

Are the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite Going to Plunge? This Historically Accurate Forecasting Tool Offers a Crystal-Clear Answer.
Investors have no shortage of ways to grow their wealth over time. They can buy real estate, put their money to work in fixed-income assets like certificates of deposit or U.S. Treasury bonds, and can purchase commodities like oil, gold, and silver. However, no other asset class has come within a stone's throw of stocks over the last century on an annualized return basis. But just because stocks are the premier asset class to own over multiple decades, it doesn't mean Wall Street's major indexes move up in a straight line. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » The iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), broad-based S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and growth-propelled Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC), have endured their fair share of corrections, bear markets, and even crashes since their respective inceptions. In just a one-week period in early April, we observed the fifth-largest two-day percentage drop for the S&P 500 dating back to 1950, as well as the largest single-day nominal point gain for the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite since their respective inceptions. When the market gyrates, it's perfectly normal for investors to dig for clues as to which direction stocks will move next. Even though no metric or predictive tool can guarantee what's to come, it's hard to overlook the statistical correlations that some data points and events have offered over the years. One forecasting tool, which occurs infrequently but has a historically flawless track record of correlating with big moves on Wall Street, has a crystal-clear message for investors: Prepare for eventual downside. More than 150 years of history points to trouble ahead for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq To preface the following discussion, there's always a data point, correlative event, or X factor threatening to cause the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite to plunge. Despite this, these indexes have motored higher over longer periods. But based on one value-focused forecasting measure, the good times are, eventually, set to end for Wall Street's major stock indexes. When investors think of the word "value," the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio probably comes to mind. This quick-and-easy valuation measure can be arrived at by taking a company's share price and dividing it by its trailing-12-month earnings per share (EPS). The traditional P/E ratio works great for mature businesses, but it's not always a reliable valuation tool for growth stocks or during recessions. The valuation tool that offers a flawless forecasting track record when back-tested more than 150 years is the S&P 500's Shiller P/E Ratio. You'll occasionally see the Shiller P/E referred to as the cyclically adjusted P/E Ratio, or CAPE Ratio. Unlike the traditional P/E ratio, the Shiller P/E is based on average inflation-adjusted EPS over the trailing decade. Encompassing 10 years' worth of earnings history ensures that recessions don't adversely skew the results. S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio data by YCharts. As of the closing bell on June 18, the S&P 500's Shiller P/E Ratio stood at a multiple of 36.55. To put this into perspective, it's 112% above the average multiple of 17.25, when back-tested to January 1871. However, this massive deviation from the historical mean isn't the telltale sign of trouble for Wall Street. What's far more concerning is how stocks have behaved following the rare instances where the Shiller P/E surpassed and held a multiple of 30 for a period of at least two months. Surpassing and sustaining 30 has occurred only six times in 154 years: August to September 1929 June 1997 to August 2001 September 2017 to November 2018 December 2019 to February 2020 August 2020 to May 2022 November 2023 to present Excluding the present, all five prior instances were eventually followed by declines ranging from 20% to 89% in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and/or Nasdaq Composite. To be clear, the Shiller P/E isn't a timing tool and can't, in any way, pinpoint when stock market corrections, bear markets, or crashes will begin. But what it does have an exceptional track record of doing is foreshadowing an eventual plunge in Wall Street's three major stock indexes. Based solely on what history tells us, stocks won't be able to hold onto their current valuation premium, and the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite will, at some point in the presumed not-too-distant future, plunge. History is a pendulum that swings (disproportionately) in both directions Considering that the S&P 500 has enjoyed one of its strongest two-month performances in 75 years, the prospect of the index once again plunging probably doesn't sit well with investors. There's simply no getting around the data that lofty valuation premiums aren't well tolerated on Wall Street over long periods. But there is a major silver lining to this forecast. Specifically, history is a pendulum that swings in both directions and has disproportionately favored investors who've taken a long-term, optimistic approach. As noted, the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite tend to climb over long periods, but their directional movements over shorter timelines are anything but predictable. Corrections, bear markets, and even crashes are normal, healthy, and inevitable aspects of the investing cycle. No amount of well-wishing or fiscal/monetary policy maneuvering can prevent Wall Street's major stock indexes from occasionally declining by double-digit percentages. However, the one noteworthy characteristic about double-digit percentage declines on Wall Street is they tend to be short-lived. Two years ago, shortly after the benchmark S&P 500 established that it was in a new bull market, the analysts at Bespoke Investment Group published a data set on X (formerly Twitter) that compared the calendar-day length of every bull and bear market for the S&P 500 dating back to the start of the Great Depression in September 1929. It's official. A new bull market is confirmed. The S&P 500 is now up 20% from its 10/12/22 closing low. The prior bear market saw the index fall 25.4% over 282 days. Read more at -- Bespoke (@bespokeinvest) June 8, 2023 On one hand, the typical bear market swoon lasted just 286 calendar days, which isn't even an average of 10 months. Conversely, the average S&P 500 bull market endured for 1,011 calendar days, or approximately 3.5 times as long. Being patient and optimistic has allowed investors to take advantage of this simple numbers game. A separate analysis from Crestmont Research widened the lens even further. Its analysts calculated the rolling 20-year total returns, including dividends paid, of the S&P 500 dating back to the start of the 20th century. For those of you rightly recognizing that the S&P didn't exist prior to 1923, Crestmont tracked the performance of its components in other major indexes from 1900 to 1923 in order to back-test its total return data more than a century. What Crestmont Research discovered was that all 106 rolling 20-year periods it examined (1900-1919, 1901-1920, and so on, to 2005-2024) generated a positive annualized total return. Hypothetically, they would have all made investors money, as long as investors held their position for 20 years. Regardless of what any forecasting tool suggests will happen in the coming weeks, months, or couple of years, more than a century of total return data demonstrates the power of buying stocks and holding them over long periods. Should you invest $1,000 in S&P 500 Index right now? Before you buy stock in S&P 500 Index, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and S&P 500 Index wasn't one of them.
