U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ: USGO) ("U.S. GoldMining" or "the Company") is advancing the Whistler Gold-Copper Project ("Whistler" or "the Project"), located in Alaska, U.S.A. As the Company progresses its previously announced initial assessment study ("PEA") (see news release dated June 9, 2025), it is encouraged by the recent inclusion of copper and silver in the United States '2025 List of Critical Minerals'. 

On November 7, 2025, the Interior Department, through the U.S. Geological Survey, published its final 2025 List of Critical Minerals, outlining 60 minerals vital to the U.S. economy and national security that face potential risks from disrupted supply chains. The list includes both copper and silver, which make up two of the three metal components, along with gold, within the mineral resource estimate at the Whistler Project. The Project, located just 105 miles from the main population center of Anchorage, in Alaska (see Figure 1), is estimated to contain mineral resources of over 1 billion pounds ("Blbs") of copper and almost 19 million ounces ("Moz") silver in the Indicated category in addition to 3.93 Moz gold, and an additional 0.3 Blbs copper, 11.5 Moz silver and 3.31 Moz gold in the Inferred category1 (see Table 1).  

Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "Since January 2025, the U.S. federal administration has begun to implement initiatives to encourage the exploration for and extraction of critical minerals on U.S. soil, minerals which are crucial to securing domestic resource security. Publication of the 2025 List of Critical Minerals is well timed as the Company is undertaking the PEA on its flagship Whistler Gold-Copper Project and continues to undertake and plan district-scale exploration on its 100% owned 53,700 acre property in one of the United States' most prospective and mining-friendly jurisdictions, Alaska."
