VANCOUVER, BC, April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - GoldMining Inc. (the
"Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE
American: GLDG) is pleased to announce that the Company, through a
wholly owned subsidiary, has completed a transaction with Compañía
de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. ("Buenaventura") to reduce an
existing third-party royalty (the "Royalty") on its 100%
owned Crucero gold project ("Crucero" or the
"Project"), Peru.
Highlights:
- The Royalty was granted by a previous operator that acquired
the Project in 2008 and was based on a sliding scale that reached a
maximum 5% net smelter return ("NSR") for gold prices above
USD$800 per ounce.
- The Company paid US$70,000 to
Buenaventura to amend and reduce the Royalty to a 3% NSR.
- The Company can further reduce the Royalty to a 1% NSR by
making an additional payment of US$200,000, at any time over the next 10
years.
Alastair Still, CEO, commented:
"With this transaction, we have significantly reduced an overly
burdensome royalty and enhanced the potential value of the Crucero
property. This helps position us to continue advancing our
disciplined strategy of unlocking value from our diversified
portfolio of resource-stage gold and gold-copper projects in the
Americas."
The Crucero Project is located 150 km northeast of the city of
Juliaca in the Department of Puno, in southeastern Peru.
Mineral resource estimates for the Project include 30.65 million
tonnes grading 1.01 g/t gold for 0.99 million ounces indicated and
an additional 35.78 million tonnes grading 1.00 g/t gold for 1.15
million ounces inferred1. The Project has had
significant historical investment and exploration by prior
operators, including over 24,000 m of
drilling over 79 holes, and numerous targets have been identified
for future exploration.
