Mining Co. Makes Major Gold Find in Alaska

On January 24, 2023, Goldmining Inc. (GOLD:TSX; GLDG:NYSE.American), a strategic investor in NevGold Corp. (NAU:TSX.V; NAUFF:OTC; 5E50:FSE), announced in a press release that it has the assay results from its drill program on the Whistler gold-copper project. The Whistler project is a majority-owned project located in Alaska, and the company reports that the results of the drilling confirm the presence of continuous mineralization on the project. Goldmining stated that the Whistler project is estimated to hold an indicated mineral resource of 3.0 million ounces of gold equivalent.

According to Goldmining, the drill holes covered a total of 2,234m on the project, and drill hole WH23-03, in particular, provided a more detailed look at mineralization in an area that had been sparsely drilled. Goldmining reports that the highlights of the drill results include 1.06 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEq) across 547m intercepted by drill hole WH23-03, including 1.55 g/t AuEq across 176m, 0.60 g/t AuEq across 241m intercepted by drill hole WH23-01, including 0.74 g/t AuEq across 118m, and 0.51 g/t AuEq across 142m intercepted by drill hole WH23-02, including 1.10 g/t AuEq across 22m.

Alastair Still, the CEO of Goldmining, stated, "The success of the inaugural confirmatory drilling program by U.S. Goldmining at Whistler is another example of how our spin-out strategy has unlocked value for Goldmining shareholders."

He continued, "We now hold over CA$129 million in cash and equities, which puts us in a strong and enviable position as we look to advance strategic initiatives across the rest of our portfolio, which globally holds 12.5 million AuEq ounces of measured and indicated resources and 9.7 million AuEq ounces of inferred resources."

A Bright Year Ahead for Gold

Marin Katusa of Katusa Research reported on January 23, 2024, that the gold looks set to excel in the new year. Katusa commented, "While the world was busy elsewhere, gold quietly breached and torched its all-time high in an epic and fast run." The report states that prudent investors should look for gold prices to breach US$2,200, as that could be the catalyst for a record-breaking rally.

Earlier this month, on January 14, 2024, Egon von Greyerz with Gold Switzerland predicted that gold would have a good run this year due to a declining American dollar, which usually prompts investors to turn to commodities like precious metals. In an enthusiastic endorsement, he commented, "If you have never been a goldbug, this is the time to become one."
