U.S Gold Mining

Whistler is a resource-stage gold-rich copper porphyry exploration project located within the Alaska Range 105 miles (170 km) northwest of Anchorage, Alaska, USA. The regional land package comprising State of Alaska mining claims totals 53,700 acres (217 sq km). The Whistler Project has indicated resources of 5.4 million gold equivalent ounces and inferred resources of 5.0 million gold equivalent ounces. Mineral resources have been estimated at three gold-copper porphyry deposits (Whistler, Raintree West and Island Mountain) and several additional geophysical and geochemical targets anomalies contain mineralized drill intersections that require follow-up drilling. U.S. Gold Mining recently announced the results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (or PEA), for its 100%-owned Whistler Gold-Copper Project.

Management Profile:

Tim Smith, MSc (Hon), PGeo President & CEO Mr. Smith has more than 25 years mineral industry exploration and mining experience, principally exploring for gold mineral systems including orogenic lode gold, porphyry, intrusion related and volcanogenic massive sulphide systems at locations throughout Australia and Canada. Mr. Smith is experienced in exploration project management from generative greenfields to deposit drill-out to feasibility studies. Mr. Smith has a track record of discovery of major gold systems including as Vice President Exploration for Kaminak Gold Corporation where he led the team at the Coffee Gold Deposit in Yukon, Canada and which was acquired by Goldcorp Inc., for C$520 million in 2016. Mr. Smith was Regional Director Generative Exploration, North America for Newmont Corporation from June 2019 to April 2022 and Exploration Director, Goldcorp Inc., from August 2016 to June 2019. Mr. Smith was a co-recipient of the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia H.H “Spud” Huestis Award for excellence in prospecting and mineral exploration in 2013, for the drill discovery of the Coffee Gold Deposit.

What are your key goals for the next 3, 6 and 12 months?

3 Months

2. Mobilizes 2026 Exploration Program Targeting District-Scale Potential - drilling is ready for summer 2026

6 Months

Optimize growth potential & quality of existing resources; diamond core drilling targeting several high-priority near-deposit potential upside opportunities and new targets

12 Months
Develop a pipeline of discoveries that will underpin further growth opportunities for the Project

 
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?

• Large-Scale, Pre-Feasibility Stage Gold-Copper Project in U.S.A.
• Confirmed as a large-scale high-quality resource development project proximal to Anchorage infrastructure
• 5.41 Moz AuEq Indicated & 4.97 Moz AuEq Inferred Resource
• Whistler is located on State mining claims, simplified permitting path
• Copper and silver recently added to Federal ‘critical minerals’; Strong political tailwinds to fast-track permitting
