Basis of Preparation |
|
2.1 |
Statement of Compliance |
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The Company's significant accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those described in Note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended November 30, 2024 and 2023. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements.
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The Company's consolidated financial statements and those of its controlled subsidiaries are presented in Canadian dollars ("$" or "dollars"), which is the Company's reporting currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated.
The Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2025 were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on April 11, 2025.
|
2.2 |
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates |
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those described in Note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements.

2.3 |
Changes in, and Initial Adoption of, Accounting Policies |
The Company adopted the following amendment to IFRS, which was effective for the accounting period beginning on or after December 1, 2024:
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1) – The amendments to IAS 1, clarifies the presentation of liabilities. The classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent is based on contractual rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and is affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. The amendment also introduces a definition of 'settlement' to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendment issued in October 2022 also clarifies how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. Covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if a company has a substantive right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The following are amendments to the accounting standards that have been issued but are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted by the Company:
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. In May 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). These amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early application permitted. Management is currently assessing the effect of these amendments on our financial statements.
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements - In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. Management is currently assessing the effect of this new standard on our financial statements.

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.

To exercise the option, NevGold was required to make additional payments totaling $6,000 to GoldMining's subsidiary between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024, which payments were satisfied by NevGold by issuing NevGold Shares.
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 a result, the Company completed the sale of the Almaden Project to a subsidiary of NevGold. The fair value of shares received pursuant to the Option Agreement were taxable in fiscal 2024.

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.

As at February 28, 2025, outstanding U.S. GoldMining stock options have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.18 years. |
The fair value of U.S. GoldMining stock options granted were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

As there is limited trading history of U.S. GoldMining's common shares prior to the date of grant, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility of a group of comparable companies in the sector U.S. GoldMining operates over a period similar to the expected life of the stock options. |
During the three months ended February 28, 2025, U.S. GoldMining recognized share-based compensation expense of $291 (three months ended February 29, 2024: $87) for stock options granted.

The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met.

During the year ended November 30, 2024, performance conditions were met for 95,250 Restricted Shares which were released. As at February 28, 2025, 254,000 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. |
|
● |
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.
|
10.1 |
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.
|
10.2 |
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:

The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at February 28, 2025 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3,663 on other comprehensive income for the three months ended February 28, 2025. 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 February 28, 2025 would have an impact of $415 on net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2025.

|
|
10.3 |
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 is limited as it has no long-term debt. 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.
|
10.4 |
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.
|
10.5 |
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 February 28, 2025, the Company has working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $6,674. 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 $4,612 and other assets of $1,894 are not available for use by GoldMining or other subsidiaries of GoldMining (Note 9.1).
The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, access to its 2024 ATM Program, whereby the Company has the ability to issue shares for cash, and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal.
As of February 28, 2025, the Company owns 9,878,261 shares and 122,490 warrants of NASDAQ listed U.S. GoldMining, 21,533,125 shares of NYSE listed Gold Royalty Corp. and 26,670,250 shares of NevGold with the following fair values:

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 February 28, 2025, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3,663 on other comprehensive income for the three months ended February 28, 2025.

Update on Material Properties
The Company continuously evaluates its projects in order to identify potentially value-enhancing work for prioritization. The Company has identified various potential work on projects as identified below. Such additional work and any future expansion, including the acquisition of additional mineral properties or interests, may require additional financing, which we may obtain through equity and/or debt financing.
São Jorge Gold Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company incurred $0.2 million 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 Company's preparation for its proposed 2025 exploration program at the project.
On February 26, 2025 the Company reported an updated mineral resource estimate for the São Jorge Project. For further information please see the technical report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report, São Jorge Project, Pará State, Brazil", with an effective date of January 28, 2025, prepared for the Company and available under its profile at SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
On March 18, 2025, the Company announced a 2025 exploration program for the São Jorge Project. This program includes a planned drilling campaign of up to 5,000 metres targeting expansion of the known deposit along strike, geophysical surveying northwards over the William South and North prospect areas, auger drilling of up to 3,000 metres over high tenor soil anomalies and a soil sampling program of up to 6,000 samples to test and expand the broader mineral system across the project. The program is in the planning stages and completion will be subject to financial considerations, among others.
During the quarter ended February 28, 2025, the first phase of the geochemistry sampling program was initiated targeting previously unsampled areas of the project. The program encompasses the target areas Dragon West, Cavalo Branco, and William North, located on exploration license ANM no. 850.556/2010. It is expected that the program will continue through 2025.
The Company currently expects to initiate the auger drilling program in the second quarter of 2025.
In 2023, the Final Exploration Report for the license no.850.058/2002 was approved by the Brazilian National Mining Agency or Agência Nacional de Mineração ("ANM"), allowing the Company the right to apply for a Mining Concession. As part of the application for the Mining License, the Company prepared and filed an Economic Assessment Plan ("PAE") to ANM on October 29, 2024 and is required to initiate environmental baseline studies to apply for a Preliminary Environmental License.

Whistler Gold-Copper Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2025, U.S. GoldMining incurred $0.1 million of expenditures on the Whistler Project for consulting fees to vendors for geological work, drilling and other exploration field activities, camp, travel and logistics in support of field programs, permitting and compliance, regulatory and community stakeholder engagement, camp, equipment and airstrip maintenance costs.
On February 3, 2025, U.S. GoldMining announced additional diamond core drill results of WH24-03 and WH24-04 from its 2024 program.
On February 10, 2025, U.S. GoldMining announced assay results from WH24-05 which was drilled adjacent to the Raintree West Deposit as part of its 2024 program.
La Mina Gold-Copper Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company incurred $0.04 million of expenditures on the La Mina Gold-Copper Project, which included expenditures for camp maintenance, payroll and personnel expenses and surface rights lease payments.
Titiribi Gold-Copper Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company incurred $0.1 million of expenditures on 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 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. The deferral was granted and extended 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 restricts 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 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 commenced at this time. The Titiribi Project remains in good standing.

On a consolidated basis, the increase in operating loss was primarily the result of a recovery on receipt of mineral property option payments paid in NevGold Shares of $3.2 million in the same quarter of 2024 and increases in professional fees, offset by decreases in exploration expenses, share-based compensation and share of loss in associate.
General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the three months ended February 28, 2025, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of higher transfer agent and regulatory fees.
Directors' fees, employee salaries and benefits, which includes management and personnel salaries, were $0.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2025, compared $0.5 million for the same quarter in 2024. The increase was primarily due to hiring of additional staff.
Exploration expenses were $0.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 2025, compared to $0.7 million for the same quarter in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower exploration expenditures associated with U.S. GoldMining's Whistler Project.
Exploration expenditures on a project basis for the periods indicated were as follows:

Non-cash share-based compensation expenses were $1.1 million during the three months ended February 28, 2025, compared to $1.3 million during the three months ended February 29, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of fewer options granted during the three months ended February 28, 2025, partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation recorded by U.S. GoldMining, compared to the three months ended February 29, 2024. Share-based compensation for the three months ended February 28, 2025 includes $0.4 million recorded by U.S. GoldMining with respect to the vesting of stock options, restricted share units and satisfaction of performance based restricted U.S. GoldMining Shares, compared to $0.1 million during the three months ended February 29, 2024.
Professional fees were $1.0 million during the three months ended February 28, 2025, compared to $0.5 million during the three months ended February 29, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of increased legal and accounting fees incurred for the ATM program, due to timing, as the ATM program renewal was completed in December 2024 of the current quarter compared to completion of the 2023 ATM program renewal in November 2023.
Share of loss in associate was $0.2 million during the three months ended February 28, 2025, compared to $0.4 million during the three months ended February 29, 2024. The decrease in share of loss in associate was primarily the result of less activity at NevGold in the three months ended February 28, 2025.
In the three months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded a recovery on the receipt of a mineral property option payment of $3.2 million. The recovery resulted from the receipt of NevGold Shares as an option payment from NevGold in the amount of $3.2 million for the Almaden Project. As a result, the Company completed the sale of the Almaden Project, which was renamed Nutmeg Mountain by NevGold, to a subsidiary of NevGold.
For the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company recognized a current income tax recovery of $0.1 million, compared to a current income tax expense of $1.8 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024. The current income tax expense during the three months ended February 29, 2024 resulted from the completion of the sale of the Almaden Project to a subsidiary of NevGold.
For the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company recognized a deferred income tax recovery of $0.5 million, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024. The deferred income tax recovery for both periods resulted from the remeasurement of GRC Shares at fair value.
For the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on revaluation of long-term investments of $3.4 million in other comprehensive income, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024, as a result of an increase in the fair value of its long-term investments. The unrealized gains during the three months ended February 28, 2025 and the three months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, were offset by deferred income tax expenses of $0.5 million and $0.4 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 February 28, 2025, the Company's net loss was $4.9 million, or $0.02 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $4.6 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $0.3 million was attributable to non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.01 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $2.6 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $0.2 million was attributable to non-controlling interests during the three months ended February 29, 2024.

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 month periods ended November 30, 2024, August 31, 2024, November 30, 2023 and 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, net loss was higher compared to other quarters as a result of increased activities and expenses associated with preparations for the initial public offering of U.S. GoldMining in 2023 and a higher deferred tax expense, primarily associated with the Company's long-term investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth selected information regarding the Company's financial position for the periods indicated on a consolidated basis and includes the assets and liabilities of U.S. GoldMining as disclosed above under "Other Investments".

Capital resources of the Company consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, liquid short-term investments, long-term investments and shares held in NevGold, which are accounted for as an investment in associate, and GRC Shares. As of February 28, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totalling $9.2 million compared to $11.9 million at November 30, 2024, and $1.8 million in other current assets compared to $1.4 million at November 30, 2024. This includes cash and cash equivalents held by U.S. GoldMining of $4.5 million compared to $5.5 million at November 30, 2024, and $0.4 million in other current assets held by U.S. GoldMining compared to $0.5 million at November 30, 2024.
| GoldMining Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended February 28, 2025 |
|
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of operating expenditures offset by cash proceeds from the ATM Program during the three months ended February 28, 2025. As of February 28, 2025, the Company had long-term investments of $42.4 million compared to $38.9 million as at November 30, 2024, and held NevGold Shares with a fair value of $8.0 million as at February 28, 2025, compared to $6.7 million as at November 30, 2024. The increase in the fair value of long-term investments and the fair value of NevGold Shares was the result of an increase in the market prices of GRC and NevGold Shares held by the Company.
The Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.0 million as of February 28, 2025, compared to $1.6 million at November 30, 2024. As of February 28, 2025, the Company had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $6.7 million compared to $9.1 million at November 30, 2024. As of February 28, 2025, U.S. GoldMining had working capital of $4.2 million compared to $5.3 million at November 30, 2024.
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 ongoing review 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 accounting standards 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:
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 February 28, 2025, the Company has concluded no impairment indicators exist for any of its exploration and evaluation assets.
Changes in, and Initial Adoption of, Accounting Policies
The Company adopted the following amendments to IFRS, which were effective for the accounting period beginning on or after December 1, 2024:
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1) – The amendments to IAS 1, clarifies the presentation of liabilities. The classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent is based on contractual rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and is affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. The amendment also introduces a definition of 'settlement' to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendment issued in October 2022 also clarifies how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. Covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if a company has a substantive right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
| GoldMining Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended February 28, 2025 |
|
The following are amendments to the accounting standards that have been issued but are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted by the Company:
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). These amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early application permitted. Management is currently assessing the effect of these amendments on our financial statements.
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements - In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. Management is currently assessing the effect of this new standard on our financial statements.
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.

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.
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:

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States dollars and total $0.4 million.
The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at February 28, 2025 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3.7 million on other comprehensive income for the three months ended February 28, 2025. 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 February 28, 2025 would have an impact of $0.4 million on net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2025.
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 is limited as it has no long-term debt. 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.

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 the financial institutions where its deposits are held.
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 February 28, 2025, the Company has working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $6.7 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 $4.6 million and other assets of $1.9 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 GoldMining Shares for cash, and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal.
As of February 28, 2025, the Company owns 9,878,261 U.S. GoldMining Shares and 122,490 warrants to purchase U.S. GoldMining Shares, 21,533,125 GRC Shares and 26,670,250 NevGold Shares with the following market values based upon the closing price of the applicable securities as of such date:

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 at February 28, 2025, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3.7 million on other comprehensive income for the three months ended February 28, 2025.

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.
| GoldMining Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended February 28, 2025 |
|
The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the DCP during the three months ended February 28, 2025 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 accounting standards. 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 accounting standards, 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 months ended February 28, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ICFR. No such changes were identified through their evaluation
