GoldMining to acquire gold project in Idaho

GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD; OTCQX: GLDLF – https://www.commoditytv. com/play/goldmining-undervalued-according-to-analysts-and-peer-groupcomparison/ ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with Sailfish Royalty Corp. and its subsidiary (collectively, "Sailfish"), to indirectly acquire a 100% interest in the Almaden Gold Project ("Almaden" or the "Project"), located in west-central Idaho.

Garnet Dawson, CEO of GoldMining, commented: "This acquisition continues our strategy of consolidating quality resource-stage projects in the Americas. The transaction is a win for both companies as it is accretive to GoldMining, while allowing Sailfish to focus on its royalty business. Our next step after completing this acquisition will be to complete a current resource estimate on the Project."

The Agreement

Pursuant to the Agreement, the total consideration payable by GoldMining on closing of the transaction will be $1,150,000, comprising of: (i) $575,000, payable in common shares of GoldMining (the "GOLD Shares"); and (ii) $575,000, payable in cash.

The issue price of the share consideration will be based on the volume-weighted average price of the GOLD Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading days prior to closing. Such shares will be subject to a four month and one day hold period and certain additional resale restrictions pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, amongst others, including receipt of requisite Toronto Stock Exchange approval. The parties currently expect closing to occur in March 2020.

Almaden Project

The Almaden Project is located approximately 140 road km north of Boise and approximately 24 km east of Weiser in Washington County, Idaho. Access to the project is by well-maintained paved and gravel roads, which exit east of U.S. Highway 95 at Weiser. The closest high-voltage power transmission line (230 kV) is located 10 km east of the Project. The Project is comprised of two lease holdings (12 patented mining claims and one mining lease) and 210 unpatented lode mining claims for a total area of approximately 1,724 Ha.

The Almaden Project is one of several low-sulphidation epithermal gold deposits related to the Northern Nevada Rift that includes Hecla Mining Company’s Hollister and Midas Mines in northern Nevada, Integra Resources Corp.’s Delamar and Florida Canyon projects in southwest Idaho and Paramount Gold Nevada Corp.’s development-stage project across the border in Oregon.

The relatively flat lying, near surface, disseminated gold mineralization at Almaden is hosted in sinter and silicified (opal) sedimentary rocks of the Miocene Payette Formation that are underlain by chalcedonic veins and stockworks. Mineralization is interpreted to have formed in a hot-springs environment in the upper levels of an epithermal system. Gold mineralization is associated with intense silicification and argillic alteration that measures approximately 1,900 m long by 500 m wide by 150 m thick. The deposit was intermittently drilled from 1980 to 2012 by several companies including Homestake and Amax Gold Inc. Most of this drilling was by vertical holes within 100 m of surface with over 200 holes ending in mineralization.

The Project was the subject of a historic resource estimate completed by Western Standard Metals Ltd. ("Western Standard") in 2009. The historical resource estimate was based on 886 drill holes (61,980 m of drilling) that included both rotary and reverse circulation (87%) and diamond drilling (13%). The resource estimate is historical in nature and will not be treated as a current resource estimate by the Company as a qualified person has not done sufficient work on behalf of the Company to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Western Standard disclosed the historic estimate in a technical report completed for it by Paul Tietz, P.Geo. and Michael M. Gustin, P.Geo. of Mine Development Associates titled "Technical Report, Almaden Project, Washington County, Idaho", with an effective date of August 31, 2009, a copy of which is available under Western Standard’s profile on SEDAR.

Subsequent to the historical resource estimate, Western Standard completed an additional 48 diamond drill holes (8,254 m of drilling) in 2011 and 2012 to test for highgrade feeder mineralization, provide sample material for metallurgical test work and confirm historic rotary and reverse circulation sampling results. Selected drill intercepts from the 2011 to 2012 drill program are shown in Table 1. GoldMining has not completed sufficient work to verify these exploration and drilling results, however the Company believes the historical exploration work is relevant to any future exploration and as an indication of the potential of the Project. GoldMining intends to engage an independent qualified person to, among other things, verify historic sampling and results, examine the cut-off grade with reference to today’s metal prices, and complete a technical report, including a current resource estimate.
