U.S. GoldMining to Join Russell 3000 Index
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ: USGO) (" U.S. GoldMining" or the " Company") is pleased to announce that it has been added as a member of the broad-market Russell 3000 ® Index according to a preliminary list published by FTSE on its website in connection with its annual reconstitution of the index. The reconstitution is expected to take effect after the U.S. Market closes on June 27, 2025.
The annual reconstitution of the Russell US indexes captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 30, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000 ® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000 ® Index or small-cap Russell 2000 ® Index, as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "It is a significant milestone to see the accomplishments of U.S. GoldMining be recognized through the preliminary inclusion in the Russell 3000 ® Index. This highlights the value creation at our Whistler Gold-Copper Project (the "Project") in Alaska in just over two years since going public with our IPO in April 2023. With the numerous high priority exploration targets at the Project, coupled with recently announced plans to commence an initial economic assessment, we are strongly encouraged by the potential to unlock significant additional value for stakeholders, especially when combined with recent all-time high gold prices and predicted strong future demand for copper."
