Almaden

 

On June 13, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with NevGold Corp. ("NevGold") and a subsidiary of NevGold, pursuant to which, among other things, it agreed to grant an option to acquire 100% of the Company's Almaden Project (now named Nutmeg Mountain) to a subsidiary of NevGold. Pursuant to the terms thereof, on July 4, 2022 (the "Option Agreement Closing Date"), the Company closed the grant of the option to NevGold's subsidiary for 4,444,444 common shares of NevGold ("NevGold Shares") with a fair value of $2,489.

 

 

NevGold is required to make success-based contingent payments totaling up to $7,500 to GoldMining, payable in cash or shares at the election of NevGold based on the following:

 

$500 on completion of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment

 

$2,500 on completion of a positive Preliminary Feasibility Study

 

$4,500 on completion of a positive Feasibility Study

 

On January 1, 2023 and July 13, 2023, pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company received 3,658,536 and 4,109,589, respectively, common shares of NevGold with fair values of $1,134 and $1,562, respectively.

 

On January 18, 2024, pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company received 10,000,000 common shares of NevGold with a fair value of $3,200. As the carrying value of the Almaden Project was $nil on the date of the receipt of the option payment, the Company recorded a recovery on receipt of mineral property option payment of $3,200 during the nine months ended August 31, 2024.

 

As a result, the Company completed the sale of the Almaden Project to a subsidiary of NevGold. The fair value of shares received to date pursuant to the Option Agreement are taxable in fiscal 2024, resulting in a current income tax expense of $1,829 being recognized in the nine months ended August 31, 2024. As at August 31, 2024, current income taxes payable related to the sale of the Almaden Project are $1,810.

Crucero

 

In April 2024, a subsidiary of the Company paid US$70,000 to Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. to reduce an existing third-party net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on its Crucero Project from 5% to 3%. The Company can further reduce the royalty to a 1% NSR by making an additional payment of US$200,000, at any time on or before April 25, 2034. The total amount paid including transaction costs was $99 and was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets during the nine months ended August 31, 2024.

 

Surubim

 

The Company's Surubim Project consists of the Surubim and Rio Novo concessions located in Pará State, Brazil. During the year ended November 30, 2023, the Company continued efforts to negotiate an extension for its Rio Novo concessions under the Jarbas Agreement, however, was unable to come to acceptable terms and provided the property vendor with a notice of termination. As a result, the Company impaired exploration and evaluation assets associated with the Rio Novo concessions in the amount of $1,809 during the year ended November 30, 2023.

Restricted Share Rights

 

The Company's restricted share plan (the "RSP") was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") on November 27, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the RSP, the Board may designate directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company, eligible to receive restricted share rights ("RSR(s)") to acquire such number of GoldMining Shares as the Board may determine, in accordance with the restricted periods schedule during the recipient's continual service with the Company. There are no cash settlement alternatives. The RSP was approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with its term at the Company's annual general meeting held on May 25, 2019.

 

The RSRs vest in accordance with the vesting schedule during the recipient's continual service with the Company. The Company classifies RSRs as equity instruments since the Company has the ability and intent to settle the awards in common shares. The compensation expense for standard RSRs is calculated based on the fair value of each RSR as determined by the closing value of the Company's common shares at the date of the grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period of the RSR.  The Company expects to settle RSRs, upon vesting, through the issuance of common shares from treasury.

U.S. GoldMining Restricted Shares

 

On September 23, 2022, U.S. GoldMining adopted an equity incentive plan (the "Legacy Incentive Plan"). The Legacy Incentive Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock awards. The purpose of the Legacy Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of U.S. GoldMining or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of U.S. GoldMining or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the grant of the restricted stock awards is 1,000,000 shares of common stock in U.S. GoldMining.

 

On September 23, 2022, U.S. GoldMining granted awards of an aggregate of 635,000 shares of performance based restricted shares (the "Restricted Shares") of common stock under the Legacy Incentive Plan to certain of U.S. GoldMining's and GoldMining's executive officers, directors and consultants, the terms of which were amended on May 4, 2023.

 

The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met. In addition, if such conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by the holder thereof to U.S. GoldMining without the requirement of any further consideration. During the year ended November 30, 2023, performance conditions were met for 285,750 Restricted Shares which were released. As at August 31, 2024, 349,250 Restricted Shares remain outstanding, subject to certain performance conditions.

Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, short-term investment, reclamation deposits and long-term investments. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:

 

 

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

GoldMining Inc.        
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
As at August 31, 2024 and 2023
(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)
logosm.jpg

 

 

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

 

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company's short-term investments and long-term investments in common shares of equity securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term and long-term investments is based on the quoted market price of the short-term and long-term investments. The fair value of warrants to purchase shares in NevGold were initially determined on a residual basis and subsequently measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs used are readily available in public markets and therefore have been classified as level 2. Inputs used in the Black-Scholes model for the valuation of the warrants include risk-free interest rate, volatility, and dividend yield.

 

11.1

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

 

The financial risk arising from the Company's operations are currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with the Company's financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

 

11.2

Currency Risk

 

The Company's operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in United States dollars, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso and Canadian dollars. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies against the Company and its subsidiaries functional currencies. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure.

 

The Canadian dollar equivalents of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets are as follows:

Total

    45,976       61,228  

 

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States Dollars and total $145.

 

The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at August 31, 2024 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3,292 on other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2024. The impact of a Canadian dollar change of 10% against the United States dollar on the Company's other financial instruments based on balances at August 31, 2024 would have an impact of $750 on net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2024.

11.3

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and term deposits, which bear interest at fixed rates. The interest rate risks on the Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are minimal. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.

 

11.4

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company's bank balances.

 

The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balances by holding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in excess of the amount of government deposit insurance with Schedule I chartered banks in Canada and their United States affiliates. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions exceeds government-insured limits. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in excess of the amount of government deposit insurance coverage for each financial institution. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial institutions.

 

11.5

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities.  To manage liquidity risk the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations.  As at August 31, 2024, the Company has working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $10,728.  The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities and withholding taxes payable are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period. U.S. GoldMining's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $7,491 and other assets of $3,160 are not available for use by GoldMining or other subsidiaries of GoldMining (Note 10.1).

 

The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, access to its 2023 ATM Program, whereby the Company has the ability to issue shares for cash, and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal. The Company owns 9.88 million shares and 0.12 million warrants of NASDAQ listed U.S. GoldMining (closing share and warrant trading prices as of August 31, 2024 of US$5.29 and US$0.70, respectively, with a fair value of $70.6 million (US$52.3 million)), 21.53 million shares of NYSE listed Gold Royalty Corp. (closing share price as of August 31, 2024 of US$1.31 reflects a fair value of $38.1 million (US$28.2 million)) and 26.67 million shares of NevGold (fair value of $7.7 million). GoldMining believes that its cash on hand, ability to enter into future borrowings collateralized by the U.S. GoldMining, GRC and NevGold shares and access to its 2023 ATM Program will enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.  

 

11.6

Equity Price Risk

 

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding its long-term investments. The Company does not actively trade its long-term investments. The equity prices of its long-term investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices. Based on the Company's long-term investments held as at August 31, 2024, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3,292 on other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2024.

Recent Developments

 

At-the-Market Equity Program

 

On November 24, 2023, the Company renewed its at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program") by entering into an equity distribution agreement (the "2023 Distribution Agreement") with a syndicate of agents led by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., and including BMO Capital Markets Corp., H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC, Canaccord Genuity Corp., Canaccord Genuity LLC, Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (collectively, the "Agents"). Pursuant to the ATM Program, the Company may distribute up to US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of its common shares (the "ATM Shares"). The ATM Shares sold under the ATM Program, if any, will be sold at the prevailing market price on the TSX or the NYSE, as applicable, at the time of sale. Sales of ATM Shares will be made pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Distribution Agreement. Unless earlier terminated by the Company or the agents as permitted therein, the ATM Program will terminate upon the earlier of: (a) the date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the ATM Shares sold under the ATM Program reaches the aggregate amount of US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars); or (b) December 31, 2024.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2024, the Company issued a total of 2,000,000 ATM Shares under the ATM Program for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.2 million (net proceeds $2.16 million). Such sales were conducted through the facilities of the TSX. The Agents were paid aggregate commissions on such sales of approximately $0.06 million, representing 2.50% of the gross proceeds of the ATM Shares sold.

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company issued a total of 7,162,918 ATM Shares under the ATM Program for aggregate gross proceeds of $8.3 million. Aggregate gross proceeds raised over the nine months ended August 31, 2024, were approximately $5.1 million from sales conducted through the facilities of the TSX (net proceeds $5.0 million) and US$2.3 million from sales conducted through the facilities of the NYSE American (net proceeds US$2.3 million), and the Agents were paid aggregate commissions on such sales of approximately $0.13 million and US$0.06 million, representing 2.50% of the gross proceeds of the ATM Shares sold.

 

Subsequent to August 31, 2024, the Company issued an additional 1,070,402 ATM Shares under the ATM Program for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.4 million. Aggregate gross proceeds raised were US$1.0 million from sales conducted through the facilities of the NYSE American (representing net proceeds of US$1.0 million), and the Agents were paid aggregate commissions on such sales of approximately US$0.03 million, representing 2.50% of the gross proceeds of the ATM Shares sold.

U.S. GoldMining At-the-Market Equity Program

 

On May 15, 2024, U.S. GoldMining entered into an at-the market offering agreement with a syndicate of agents for an at-the-market facility (the "U.S. GoldMining ATM Program"). Pursuant to the U.S. GoldMining ATM Program, U.S. GoldMining may sell up to US$5.5 million of U.S. GoldMining Shares from time to time through the sales agents. A fixed cash commission rate of 2.5% of the gross sales price per share of common stock sold under the U.S. GoldMining ATM Program will be payable to the agents in connection with any such sales.

 

The securities that may be offered under the U.S. GoldMining ATM Program have not been and will not be qualified by a prospectus for the offer or sale to the public in Canada under applicable Canadian securities laws.

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2024, no common shares were sold under the U.S. GoldMining ATM Program.

 

Update on Material Properties

 

The Company is currently in the process of identifying and planning additional work related to its projects with the goal of directing resources to enhance value at prioritized projects (the "Strategic Review Process"). To date, pursuant to this Strategic Review Process, the Company has identified additional studies and reports to be completed at certain of its properties as detailed below. Such work may include undertaking additional studies, economic assessments and exploration and development work.

 

The Company currently plans to continue to maintain each of its material projects in good standing.

 

La Mina Gold-Copper Project

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of expenditures on the La Mina Gold-Copper Project, which included expenditures for camp maintenance, consulting fees to vendors that provided geological and technical services, payroll and personnel expenses and surface rights lease payments.

 

São Jorge Gold Project

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of expenditures on the São Jorge Project. These expenditures included land access fees, consulting fees to vendors that provided geological and technical services, expenditures for camp maintenance costs, and costs related to the execution of a 1,077 meter diamond core drilling program and approximately 3,000 meters of power auger drilling (the "São Jorge Program") as announced on May 29, 2024. On June 18, July 9 and September 9, 2024, the Company announced assay results from the completed diamond core drilling and on September 9, 2024, announced partial results for the auger drilling.

 

The two most recent diamond drill holes successfully identified new gold and copper mineralization approximately 1 kilometer ("km") northwest of the São Jorge gold deposit (the "Deposit") in areas that had no previous drilling.

 

The ongoing shallow auger drilling program has returned encouraging indications of potential new zones of primary gold mineralization at the William South target located approximately 2 km north of the Deposit. Several auger drill holes delivered high-grade intercepts within the top of weathered bedrock, directly underlying large high-tenor surface soil anomalies.

The Company commenced the São Jorge Program with the goal of confirming a new structural interpretation which may help to optimize modelling of the mineral resource. Structural analysis of historic mapping and oriented core from drilling by previous operators identified two principal vein/fracture orientations, the intersection of which produces a steeply plunging high-grade 'shoot' geometry. The auger drilling component of the São Jorge Program is continuing, with the goal of mapping bedrock lithology and collecting geotechnical samples in order to help define vectors towards possible new zones of bedrock-hosted mineralization at the project.

 

In 2023 the Final Exploration Report for the license no.850.058/2002 was approved by the Brazilian National Mining Agency ("ANM") and the Company has acquired the right to apply for a Mining Concession. To complete the application, the Company is required to prepare and file an Economic Assessment Plan ("PAE") and initiate environmental baseline studies to apply for a Preliminary Environmental License. The Company notes that such an assessment plan does not constitute a preliminary economic assessment within the meaning of NI 43-101 and no production decision with respect to the project has been made to date. The Company has contracted independent consultants to proceed with the preparation of the PAE to be submitted to ANM in October 2024.

 

As previously disclosed by the Company, with respect to the four exploration licenses represented by administrative proceedings Nos. 850.193/2017 to 850.196/2017 held by the Company, for which the first 3-year term has expired, the Company has submitted to ANM preliminary exploration reports and license renewal applications for an additional 3-year term. There is no assurance that such studies or reports will be accepted or that such renewal applications will be approved by ANM.

 

Whistler Gold-Copper Project

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, U.S. GoldMining incurred $4.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of expenditures on the Whistler gold-copper project (the "Whistler Project") which included consulting fees to vendors for geological and environmental work, drilling, permitting, regulatory and community stakeholder engagements and other technical services, and camp and airstrip maintenance costs.

 

On August 21, 2023, U.S. GoldMining announced the commencement of the 2023 Phase 1 Drilling Program (the "2023 Whistler Program") at the Whistler Project. Phase 1 of the 2023 Whistler Program comprised up to an initial 5,000 meters of the budgeted drilling program. Four confirmatory drill holes were completed for a total of 2,234 meters by mid-November, at which time the 2023 Whistler Program was paused for winter break.

 

On January 16, 2024, U.S. GoldMining announced initial results from the 2023 Whistler Program, which confirmed the continuity of the near-surface high-grade core at the Whistler deposit.

 

On June 27, 2024, U.S. GoldMining announced the re-commencement of drilling at its 100% owned Whistler Gold-Copper Project for the 2024 field season (the "2024 Whistler Program"). The exploration program for the current field season is focused on additional confirmatory infill and step-out drilling within the Whistler and Raintree West deposits. Surface exploration activities are also planned with the objective to identify drill targets within the broader Whistler Orbit, a classic ‘porphyry cluster’ with potential to discover additional mineralized intrusive centers.

 

On September 30, 2024, U.S. GoldMining announced initial assay results from the first two diamond drill holes completed of its 2024 Whistler Program.

 

On October 7, 2024, U.S. GoldMining announced an updated mineral resource estimate for the Whistler Project.

Titiribi Gold-Copper Project

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of expenditures on the Titiribi gold-copper project (the "Titiribi Project"), which included expenditures for camp maintenance costs, payroll and personnel expenses, surface rights lease payments as well as initiating a geotechnical study to better determine the physical characteristics of rock and soil at the Titiribi Project. The Company had initially proposed a work program which included a drill program to be completed in 2022, however, the Company has received approval for deferral of the program from Antioquia's Secretary of Mines. A deferral of this program was submitted as a result of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as recent proceedings of the local municipality, described in further detail below, which was granted and extends the deferral to April 2024. With the granting of the deferral, the Company has re-evaluated the initially planned work program to now include a geotechnical study to better determine the physical characteristics of rock and soil at the Titiribi Project. In January 2024, the Company submitted details of a work program in compliance with the program that was deferred from 2022.

 

In August 2021, the Municipal Council of Titiribi issued a Territorial Ordinance Scheme which prohibits mining and mineral exploitation activities in the municipality. Similar actions have been made by the Municipal Council of Titiribi in the past, which were successfully challenged in 2017 and 2018. At present, the Territorial Ordinance Scheme is not impacting the Company's present activities and status to maintain the Titiribi Project as the situation in the Municipality of Titiribi, Colombia continues to evolve. The Company plans to take appropriate action to appeal the Municipality's actions when required by its exploration and development plans. It expects that any such challenge by the Company would be on the same basis as its prior successful challenge of similar Municipal actions in the past. No proceedings have been commenced at this time. The Titiribi Project remains in good standing.

For the three months ended August 31, 2024, the Company had an operating loss of $8.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.7 million for the same period of 2023. The increase in operating loss was primarily the result of increases in exploration expenses of U.S. GoldMining associated with the Whistler Project and a recovery on receipt of a mineral property option payment of $1.6 million recognized in the same period of 2023, partially offset by decreases in general and administrative expenses and share-based compensation.

 

6

 

General and administrative expenses were $1.4 million in the three months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $2.2 million in the three months ended August 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of lower investor communications and marketing expenses.

 

Directors' fees, salaries and benefits, which includes management and personnel salaries, were $0.5 million in each of the three months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Exploration expenses were $5.1 million in the three months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $2.6 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases in exploration expenditures associated with U.S. GoldMining's Whistler Project and at the São Jorge, Crucero, Titiribi and Rea Projects, partially offset by decreases in expenditures at the Yarumalito and La Mina Projects.

 

Exploration expenditures on a project basis for the periods indicated were as follows:

Non-cash share-based compensation expenses were $0.3 million in the three months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $0.5 million in the three months ended August 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of lower share-based compensation recorded by U.S. GoldMining, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2023. Share-based compensation for the three months ended August 31, 2024 includes $0.1 million recorded by U.S. GoldMining with respect to the vesting of stock options and satisfaction of performance based restricted U.S. GoldMining Shares, compared to $0.2 million in the three months ended August 31, 2023.

 

Professional fees were $0.5 million in the three months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended August 31, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of increased legal, accounting, tax and advisory expenses of U.S. GoldMining as a result of its increased activities in the period.

 

A recovery on the receipt of a mineral property option payment of $nil was recognized by the Company for the three months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $1.6 million in the three months ended August 31, 2023. The recovery in the prior period resulted from the receipt of NevGold Shares as an option payment from NevGold in the amount of $1.6 million for the Almaden Project, which had a carrying value of $nil.

 

Dividend income was $nil in the three months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended August 31, 2023. Dividend income in the prior period was comprised of the quarterly cash dividends paid by GRC.

In the three months ended August 31, 2023, the Company incurred financing costs of $0.3 million for the Company's margin loan facility, which was repaid in August 2023.

 

In the three months ended August 31, 2023, the Company recognized a loss on impairment of exploration and evaluation assets for its Surubim Project of $1.8 million. The Company's Surubim Project consists of the Surubim and Rio Novo concessions located in Para State, Brazil. During the quarter ended August 31, 2023, the Company continued efforts to negotiate an extension for its Rio Novo concessions under the Jarbas Agreement, but after failing to settle, provided the property vendor with a notice of termination.

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2024, the Company recognized a deferred income tax expense of $1.3 million, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2023. The deferred income tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2024 resulted from the remeasurement of common shares of GRC at fair value. The deferred income tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2023 resulted from the recognition of a deferred tax liability upon receipt of NevGold Shares pursuant to the Option Agreement, and the remeasurement of GRC and NevGold common shares at fair value.

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on revaluation of long-term investments of $9.8 million in other comprehensive loss, compared to $13.5 million for the three months ended August 31, 2023, as a result of a decrease in the fair value of its long-term investments. The unrealized losses during the three months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were offset by deferred income tax recoveries of $1.3 million and $1.9 million respectively. The long-term investments are measured at fair value with reference to closing foreign exchange rates and the quoted share prices in the market.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2024, the Company's net loss was $9.5 million, or $0.05 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $8.6 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $0.9 million was attributable to non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of $9.6 million, or $0.05 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $9.1 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $0.6 million was attributable to non-controlling interests during the three months ended August 31, 2023.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company had an operating loss of $16.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $14.5 million for the same period of 2023. The increase in operating loss was primarily the result of increases in exploration expenses associated with the Whistler and São Jorge Projects, share of loss in investment in associate of $0.5 million compared to $0.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023, partially offset by a recovery on receipt of mineral property option payments paid in NevGold Shares of $3.2 million, compared to $2.7 million in the same period of 2023 and decreases in professional fees and share based compensation.

 

General and administrative expenses were $6.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $5.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

 

Directors' fees, salaries and benefits, which includes management and personnel salaries, were $1.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $1.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the hiring of additional staff.

 

Exploration expenses were $7.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $3.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases in exploration expenditures at the São Jorge, Titiribi, and Crucero Projects and U.S. GoldMining's Whistler Project, offset by decreases in expenditures at the Yarumalito and La Mina Projects.

 

Non-cash share-based compensation expenses were $2.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $2.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of lower share-based compensation recorded by U.S. GoldMining, compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023. Share-based compensation for the nine months ended August 31, 2024 includes $0.2 million recorded by U.S. GoldMining with respect to the vesting of stock options and satisfaction of performance based restricted U.S. GoldMining Shares, compared to $0.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

 

Professional fees were $1.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $3.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased legal, accounting, tax and advisory services, associated with U.S. GoldMining's IPO in the comparative period.

 

Share of loss in associate was $0.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $0.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The Company reported the results of NevGold as an associate using the equity method effective July 13, 2023.

 

A recovery on the receipt of a mineral property option payment of $3.2 million was recognized by the Company for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $2.7 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The recovery resulted from the receipt of NevGold Shares as an option payment from NevGold in the amount of $3.2 million (August 31, 2023 - $2.7 million) for the Almaden Project, which had a carrying value of $nil.

 

Dividend income was $nil in the nine months ended August 31, 2024, compared to $0.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2023. Dividend income in the prior period was comprised of the quarterly cash dividends paid by GRC.

 

In the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company recognized a loss on modification of the Company's margin loan facility of $0.4 million, as a result of early repayments of principal on the Company's credit facility in the amount of $9.6 million (US$7.1 million).

 

In the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company incurred financing costs of $1.3 million for the Company's margin loan facility, which was repaid in August 2023.

 

In the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company recognized a loss on impairment of exploration and evaluation assets for its Surubim Project of $1.8 million. The Company's Surubim Project consists of the Surubim and Rio Novo concessions located in Para State, Brazil. During the quarter ended August 31, 2023, the Company continued efforts to negotiate an extension for its Rio Novo concessions under the Jarbas Agreement, but after failing to settle, provided the property vendor with a notice of termination.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company recognized a current income tax expense of $1.8 million. The current income tax expense resulted from the completion of the sale of the Almaden Project to a subsidiary of NevGold.

 

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company recognized a deferred income tax expense of $0.3 million, compared to $5.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The deferred income tax expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2024 resulted from the remeasurement of common shares of GRC at fair value. The deferred income tax expense during the nine months ended August 31, 2024 was net of a deferred tax recovery resulting from reclassifying the deferred tax liability pertaining to the Nevgold option agreement to current on completion of the disposal of the Almaden Project. The deferred tax expense during the nine months ended August 31, 2023 resulted from the recognition of a deferred tax liability upon receipt of NevGold Shares pursuant to the Option Agreement, and the remeasurement of common shares of GRC and NevGold at fair value during the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

 

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on revaluation of long-term investments of $7.2 million in other comprehensive loss, compared to an unrealized loss of $33.6 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2023, as a result of a decrease in the fair value of its long-term investments. The unrealized losses during the nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were offset by deferred income tax recoveries of $1.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, during these periods. The long-term investments are measured at fair value with reference to closing foreign exchange rates and the quoted market share prices.

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company's net loss was $18.0 million, or $0.09 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $16.6 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $1.3 million was attributable to non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of $22.8 million, or $0.13 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $22.1 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $0.7 million was attributable to non-controlling interests, during the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

Note:

(1) Before the U.S. GoldMining IPO, U.S. GoldMining's liquidity needs were met through funding provided by GoldMining. Upon completion of the U.S. GoldMining IPO, U.S. GoldMining utilized a portion of the proceeds to repay such advances.

 

Actual use of proceeds for exploration and development activities at the Whistler Project as of August 31, 2024 was $10.7 million (US$7.9 million). The proceeds used to date primarily relate to U.S. GoldMining's confirmatory work program at the Whistler Project, which commenced in 2023. The difference was primarily related to actual expenditures related to U.S. GoldMining's confirmatory work program at the Whistler Project being more than initially estimated. Actual use of proceeds for permitting and reporting was $1.2 million (US$0.9 million). The proceeds used to date primarily relate to ongoing activities, with the difference related to planned permitting and reporting activities which have yet to commence. Actual use of proceeds for repayment of liabilities was $2.4 million (US$1.8 million). The difference was primarily related to actual expenditures related to the U.S. GoldMining IPO being less than initially estimated. Actual use of proceeds for general and administrative expenses was $5.4 million (US$4.0 million). The proceeds used to date primarily relate to actual general and administrative expenditures, and the increase is mainly for building corporate brand awareness after the completion of the U.S. GoldMining IPO. Actual use of proceeds for general working capital was $1.6 million (US$1.2 million). The proceeds used to date primarily relate to the construction of camp structures and purchase of equipment. The difference is due to budgeted future activities, which have yet to be performed.

The Company's fluctuations in net loss from quarter to quarter were mainly related to changes in exploration, permitting and licensing work as well as corporate activities conducted during the respective periods. During the three months ended August 31, 2024, the three months ended May 31, 2024, the three months ended November 30, 2023 and the three months ended August 31, 2023, net loss was higher as a result of U.S. GoldMining's exploration program and other activities. During the three months ended February 29, 2024, net loss was lower as a result of recovery on the receipt of mineral property option payments. During the three months ended May 31, 2023, and the three months ended February 28, 2023, net loss was higher compared to other quarters as a result of increased activities and expenses associated with preparations for the U.S. GoldMining IPO and a higher deferred tax expense, primarily associated with the Company's long-term investments.

Capital resources of the Company consist primarily of cash, liquid short-term investments, long-term investments and shares held in NevGold, which are accounted for as an investment in associate. As of August 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totalling $11.1 million compared to $21.6 million at November 30, 2023, and $3.0 million in other current assets compared to $2.1 million at November 30, 2023. This includes cash and cash equivalents held by U.S. GoldMining of $7.4 million compared to $15.5 million at November 30, 2023, and $3.3 million in other assets held by U.S. GoldMining compared to $2.4 million at November 30, 2023.

 

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of operating expenditures offset by cash proceeds from the ATM Program during the nine months ended August 31, 2024. As of August 31, 2024, the Company had long-term investments of $38.1 million compared to $45.1 million as at November 30, 2023, and held NevGold Shares with a fair value of $7.7 million as at August 31, 2024 compared to $5.3 million as at November 30, 2023. The decrease in the value of long-term investments was primarily the result of a decrease in the market price of GRC shares held by the Company. The increase in the fair value of NevGold Shares was primarily the result of the receipt of a $3.2 million mineral property option payment paid in NevGold Shares, partially offset by a decrease in the market price of NevGold Shares.

 

The Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.2 million as of August 31, 2024, compared to $1.8 million at November 30, 2023. As of August 31, 2024, the Company had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $10.7 million compared to $21.4 million at November 30, 2023. As of August 31, 2024, U.S. GoldMining had working capital of $8.4 million compared to $15.6 million at November 30, 2023. U.S. GoldMining's working capital is not available for use by GoldMining or other subsidiaries of GoldMining.

 

In addition to planned work programs described under "Update on Material Properties", certain of the Company's properties, including its Boa Vista, Surubim and La Mina Projects are subject to certain ongoing agreements that require additional payments by the Company and, in order to maintain its properties in good standing, the Company must continue incurring various surface rights lease payments, land fee payments, advance royalty payments, licence application and extension fees and camp maintenance costs. Additional work on projects identified as part of the Strategic Review Process and any future expansion, including the acquisition of additional mineral properties or interests, may require additional financing, including additional equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

 

The Company believes that its cash on hand, holdings of publicly traded securities and its ATM Program will provide sufficient capital resources to meet the Company's obligations over the next 12 months. The Company's ability to meet its obligations and finance exploration and development activities over the long-term will depend on its ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of GoldMining Shares pursuant to equity financings and/or short-term or long-term loans and debt financings. The Company's growth and success is dependent on external sources of financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Refer to "Liquidity Risk" below.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Critical accounting estimates represent estimates that are uncertain and for which changes in those estimates could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. Areas of judgment and key sources of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant effect are as follows:

 

15

 

Existence of impairment indicators for exploration and evaluation assets

 

In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, all direct costs related to the acquisition of exploration rights are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. There is no certainty that costs incurred to acquire exploration rights will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. The Company applies judgment to determine whether indicators of impairment exist for these capitalized costs.

 

Management uses several criteria in making this assessment, including the period for which the Company has the right to explore, expected renewals of exploration rights, whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of mineral properties are budgeted, and evaluation of the results of exploration and evaluation activities up to the reporting date. As at August 31, 2024, the Company concluded no impairment indicators exist for any of its exploration and evaluation assets.

 

Changes in, and Initial Adoption of, Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

 

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

 

The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, short-term investment, reclamation deposits and long-term investments. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:

 

 

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

 

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company's short-term investments and long-term investments in common shares of equity securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term and long-term investments is based on the quoted market price of the short-term and long-term investments. The fair value of warrants to purchase NevGold Shares were initially determined on a residual basis and subsequently measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs used are readily available in public markets and therefore have been classified as level 2. Inputs used in the Black-Scholes model for the valuation of warrants include risk-free interest rate, volatility, and dividend yield.

 

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

 

The financial risks arising from the Company's operations are currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with the Company's financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

 

16

 

Currency Risk

 

The Company's operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in United States dollars, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso and Canadian dollars. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies against the Company and its subsidiaries functional currencies. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure.

 

The Canadian dollar equivalents of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets are as follows:

    35       30  

Colombian Peso

    237       546  

Total

    45,976       61,228  

 

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States dollars and total $0.1 million.

 

The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at August 31, 2024 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3.3 million on other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2024. The impact of a Canadian dollar change of 10% against the United States dollar on the Company's other financial instruments based on balances at August 31, 2024 would have an impact of $0.8 million on net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2024.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and term deposits, which bear interest at fixed rates. The interest rate risks on the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and term deposits are minimal. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company's bank balances.

 

The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balances by holding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in excess of the amount of government deposit insurance with Schedule I chartered banks in Canada and their United States affiliates. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions exceeds government-insured limits. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in excess of the amount of government deposit insurance coverage for each financial institution. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial institutions.

 

17

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities.  To manage liquidity risk the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations.  As at August 31, 2024, the Company has working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $10.7 million.  The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities and withholding taxes payable are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period. U.S. GoldMining's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $7.5 million and other assets of $3.2 million are not available for use by GoldMining or other subsidiaries of GoldMining.

 

The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, access to its ATM Program, whereby the Company has the ability to issue shares for cash, and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal. The Company owns 9.88 million shares and 0.12 million warrants of NASDAQ-listed U.S. GoldMining (closing share and warrant trading prices as of August 31, 2024 of US$5.29 and US$0.70, respectively, with a fair value of $70.6 million (US$52.3 million)), 21.53 million shares of NYSE-listed GRC (closing share price as of August 31, 2024 of US$1.31 reflects a fair value of $38.1 million (US$28.2 million)), and 26.67 million NevGold Shares (fair value of $7.7 million). GoldMining believes that its cash on hand, ability to enter into future borrowings collateralized by the U.S. GoldMining, GRC and NevGold Shares, and access to its ATM Program will enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.  

 

Equity Price Risk

 

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding its long-term investments. The Company does not actively trade its long-term investments. The equity prices of its long-term investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices. Based on the Company's long-term investments held as at August 31, 2024, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3.3 million on other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2024.

Restricted Share Rights

 

As of the date of this MD&A, there are 77,425 restricted share rights outstanding, which are convertible into 77,425 GoldMining Shares in accordance with their terms.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The CEO and the CFO of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Company's disclosure controls and procedures ("DCP"). The Company maintains DCP designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under applicable Canadian securities laws and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In designing and evaluating DCP, the Company recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and management is required to exercise its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

19

 

The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the DCP during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the DCP. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company's management, including the CEO and the CFO, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") for the Company to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The fundamental issue is ensuring all transactions are properly authorized and identified and entered into a well-designed, robust and clearly understood accounting system on a timely basis to minimize risk of inaccuracy, failure to fairly reflect transactions, failure to fairly record transactions necessary to present financial statements in accordance with IFRS, unauthorized receipts and expenditures, or the inability to provide assurance that

unauthorized acquisitions or dispositions of assets can be detected.

 

The Company's ICFR may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company's policies and procedures.

 

The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the ICFR during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ICFR. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.
