Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On February 27, 2025, GoldMining Inc. (“GoldMining”), the parent company of U.S. Goldmining Inc. (the “Company”), filed on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its audited financial statements for the years ended November 30, 2024, and 2023 (the “Financial Statements”) and management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended November 30, 2024 (the “MD&A”). The Financial Statements and MD&A include certain unaudited financial information of the Company for the twelve months ended November 30, 2024.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Financial Statements and MD&A do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Financial Statements and MD&A copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by reference in such a filing. Furthermore, the furnishing of information under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to constitute a determination by the Company that the information contained herein, including the exhibits hereto, is material or that the dissemination of such information is required by Regulation FD.
 
Cautionary Statement Regarding the Financial Statements and MD&A
 
The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the financial information of the Company contained in the Financial Statements and MD&A which were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the Company’s securities. The Financial Statements and MD&A are limited in scope, cover a limited time period and have been prepared solely for the purpose of GoldMining’s reporting requirements. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the financial information of the Company disclosed in the Financial Statements and MD&A is complete. The Company has not yet completed its year ended financial close processes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as such the information contained in the Financial Statements and MD&A is based on financial information currently available to the Company, including certain assumptions and estimates by management, and should be considered preliminary. As such, the Company’s actual results for the period covered in part by the Financial Statements and MD&A may materially vary from the preliminary results presented in such documents. The Financial Statements and MD&A also contain information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Financial Statements and MD&A should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of GoldMining Inc.

 

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of GoldMining Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of November 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Basis of Preparation

 

2.1         Statement of Compliance

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS accounting standards"). They were authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on February 27, 2025.

 

2.2         Basis of presentation

 

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.

 

2.3         Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of GoldMining Inc. and the entities it controls. Control is achieved when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

 

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where the Company's interest in a subsidiary is less than 100%, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests ("NCI").

 

All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process.

Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interest in any less than wholly owned subsidiary is classified as a separate component of equity. On initial recognition, non-controlling interest is measured at the fair value of the non-controlling party's contribution into the related subsidiary. Subsequent to the original transaction date, adjustments are made to the carrying amount of non-controlling interest for the non-controlling interest's share of changes to the subsidiary's equity.

 

Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are recorded as equity transactions. The carrying amount of non-controlling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in the non-controlling interest's relative interest in the subsidiary, and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying amount of non-controlling interests and the Company's share of proceeds received and/or consideration paid is recognized directly in equity and attributed to shareholders of the Company.

 

3.

Material Accounting Policies

 

Foreign currencies

 

The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar ("$" or "dollars"). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries in Canada is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of its subsidiaries in Brazil is the Brazilian Real ("R$") and its subsidiaries in the United States, Colombia and Peru is the United States dollar ("US$"). Foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using period end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to income and expenses. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Investment in joint venture

 

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

 

The Company's investment in its joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Company's share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually.

(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)

gh2.jpg

 

The consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) reflects the Company's share of the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change in other comprehensive income (loss) of those investees is presented as part of the Company's other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Company recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.

 

The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

 

Investments in associates

 

Investments over which the Company exercises significant influence but which it does not control or jointly control are associates. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method, except when classified as held for sale.

 

The equity method involves recording the initial investment at cost and subsequently adjusting the carrying value of the investment for the Company's proportionate share of the profit (loss), other comprehensive income (loss) and any other changes in the associate's or joint venture's net assets, such as further investment. Adjustments are made to align any inconsistencies between the Company's accounting policies and its associate's policies before applying the equity method. Adjustments are also made to account for depreciable assets based on their fair values at the acquisition date of the investment and for any impairment losses recognized by the associate. The equity method requires shares of losses to be recognized only until the carrying amount of an interest in an associate is nil. Any further losses are not recognized unless the entity has a legal or constructive obligation in respect of the liabilities associated with those losses. Unrealized gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

 

At each statement of financial position date, the Company considers whether there is objective evidence of impairment of its investments in associates. Objective evidence includes observable data indicating there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows of the investee's operations. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an equity investment below its cost is also objective evidence of impairment. If there is such evidence, the Company determines the amount of impairment to record, if any, in relation to the associate.

 

Where the Company loses control of an entity and it is reclassified as an associate the Company will remeasure the value of its retained investment at fair market value. A gain or loss will be recognized for the difference between the net amount of the change in interest and the fair value of a retained interest or any consideration received or paid. As of the date of loss of control, the Company will cease to consolidate the results of the entity and report its results as an associate using the equity method of accounting.

 

Mineral exploration, evaluation and development expenditures

 

All direct costs related to the acquisition of exploration rights are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. All other exploration and evaluation expenditures are charged to operations until such time as it has been determined that a property has economically recoverable reserves, in which case subsequent exploration and evaluation costs and the costs incurred to develop a property are capitalized into mineral properties. On the commencement of production, depletion of each mineral property will be provided on a units-of-production basis using estimated reserves as the depletion base.

Mineral property option agreements

 

When the Company acts as the farmee in a farm-in mineral property option agreement, the direct costs related to the acquisition of exploration rights are capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets. All exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred by the Company in fulfilling the terms of the agreement are expensed as incurred, until such time as the option is exercised or lapses.

 

When the Company acts as the farmor in an agreement, it does not record any expenditures made by the farmee. It does not recognize any gain or loss on its exploration and evaluation farm out mineral property option agreements, and instead records any proceeds received as a credit to the amounts previously capitalized as mineral property acquisition costs. Any amounts received in excess of amounts capitalized are taken as a gain to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Income taxes

 

Income tax expense represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period. Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences, at the end of each reporting period, between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

 

 

where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

 

 

in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except:

 

 

where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

 

 

in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period. Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to either settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.

 

Financial instruments

 

Financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position on the trade date, being the date on which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. At initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial instruments as one the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"), at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"), or at amortized cost according to the financial instruments' contractual cash flow characteristics and the business models under which they are held.

 

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if they are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows solely represent payments of principal and interest. The Company's intent is to hold these financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets are measured at FVTOCI if they are held for the collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. The Company initially recognizes these financial assets at their fair value with subsequent changes to fair values recognized in OCI. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to the statement of income (loss). Investments in equity securities are held for strategic purposes and not held for trading. The Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to classify these investments as FVTOCI, with all subsequent changes in value being recognized in OCI. Cumulative gains and losses in equity securities are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

 

Financial assets are measured at FVTPL if they do not qualify as financial assets at amortized cost or FVTOCI. The Company initially recognizes these financial assets at their fair value with subsequent changes to fair values recognized in the statement of loss. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL.

 

The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, 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. All financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and classified as follows:

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and reclamation deposits are classified as financial assets at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Both financial assets at amortized cost and financial liabilities at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method; and

 

 

Short-term and long-term investments in equity securities are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"). Such investments are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized as a component of other comprehensive income or loss. Realized gains or losses on investments in equity securities classified as FVTOCI remain in OCI.

Impairment of financial assets

 

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether a financial asset is impaired.

 

At each reporting date, the Company assesses the expected credit loss associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt instruments measured at FVTOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Changes in allowances for expected credit losses are recognized as impairment gains or losses on the statement of loss.

 

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

 

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized directly in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

 

For financial liabilities, they are derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date are determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs.

 

For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

 

Impairment of non-financial assets

 

Exploration and evaluation assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the asset is written down accordingly. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss.

 

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash flows (cash-general units). As a result, some assets may be tested individually for impairment and some may be tested at a cash-generating unit level.

 

Impairment reviews for exploration and evaluation stage mineral properties are carried out on a property by property basis, with each property representing a single cash generating unit. An impairment review is undertaken when indicators of impairment arise, but typically when one of the following circumstances apply:

 

 

The right to explore the area has expired or will expire in the near future with no expectation of renewal;

 

Substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the area is neither planned nor budgeted;

 

No commercially viable deposits have been discovered, and the decision had been made to discontinue exploration in the area; and

 

Sufficient work has been performed to indicate that the carrying amount of the expenditure carried as an asset will not be fully recovered.

Rehabilitation provisions

 

The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations, including those associated with the reclamation of exploration and evaluation assets and property and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the asset. Rehabilitation provisions are measured at the present value of the expected expenditures required to settle the obligation using a discount rate reflecting the time value of money and risks specific to the liability. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the present value of the estimated cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related assets. Over time, the discounted liability is increased based on the unwind of the discount rate. The periodic unwinding of the discount is recognized in profit or loss as a finance cost. Additional disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions or charges to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability when they occur. Changes in the estimated timing of rehabilitation or changes to the estimated future costs are dealt with prospectively by recognising an adjustment to the rehabilitation liability and a corresponding adjustment to the asset to which it relates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on deposit with banks and highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with a term to maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

 

Related party transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

 

Net income (loss) per share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share includes no potential dilution and is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

 

Diluted income per share is computed in a manner similar to basic net income (loss) per share except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of share options and warrants, if dilutive.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Property and equipment are depreciated over an estimated useful life as follows:

 

        (years)    
Buildings and Camp Structures     5 - 20  
Exploration equipment       5    
Vehicles       5    
Furniture and fixtures       5    
Computer equipment       3    
Computer software       1    

 

When an item of property and equipment has different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property and equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as incurred.

Share-based payments

 

Restricted share rights

 

The Company grants restricted share rights (the "RSRs") to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants to receive shares of 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 fair value of RSRs granted is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the RSRs vest.

 

The vesting of RSRs and issuance of common shares in the Company is recorded as issued capital and the related share-based compensation reserve is transferred to issued capital.

 

Share options

 

The Company grants share options to certain directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of share-based awards. The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes, provides services that could be provided by a direct employee, or has authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, including non-executive directors. For employees, the fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest.

 

For consultants, the fair value of the award is recorded in profit or loss over the term of the service provided, and the fair value of the unvested amounts are revalued at each reporting period over the service period.

 

Consideration received on the exercise of share options is recorded as issued capital and the related share-based compensation reserve is transferred to issued capital.

 

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make accounting policy judgments, make 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 consolidated financial statements is 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.

(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)

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. During the year ended November 30, 2024 the Company has concluded no impairment indicators exist for any of its exploration and evaluation assets, except for its Surubim Project, which was written down by $74 during the year (Note 5).

 

3.2

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, 2023:

 

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies – The amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy. To support the amendment, the International Accounting Standards Board has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the 'fourstep materiality process' described in IFRS Practice Statement 2. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated 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:

 

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. The implementation of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on 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.

Almaden

 

On June 13, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with 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. 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 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 $2,260 during the year ended November 30, 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 $1,925 being recognized in the year ended November 30, 2024. As at November 30, 2024, current income taxes payable related to the sale of the Almaden Project are $1,992.

 

In addition to the option payments made, 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:

 

o

$500 on completion of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment

 

o

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

 

o

$4,500 on completion of a positive Feasibility Study

At-the-Market Equity Program

 

On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with a syndicate of agents for an at-the-market equity distribution program (the "2022 ATM Program"). The 2022 ATM Program replaced the previous ATM program which expired on January 1, 2023 in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the 2022 ATM Program, the Company could distribute up to US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of ATM Shares. The ATM Shares sold under the 2022 ATM Program were sold at the prevailing market price on the TSX or the NYSE, as applicable, at the time of sale. Sales of ATM Shares were made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated December 30, 2022 (the "2022 Distribution Agreement"). Unless earlier terminated by the Company or the agents as permitted therein, the 2022 ATM Program was to terminate upon the earlier of: (a) the date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the ATM Shares sold under the 2022 ATM Program reached the aggregate amount of US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars); or (b) November 27, 2023.

 

On November 24, 2023, the Company entered into a new ATM Program (the "2023 ATM Program") which replaced the 2022 ATM program which expired on November 27, 2023 in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the 2023 ATM Program, the Company could distribute up to US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of ATM Shares. The ATM Shares sold under the 2023 ATM Program were sold at the prevailing market price on the TSX or the NYSE, as applicable, at the time of sale. Sales of ATM Shares were made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated November 24, 2023. Unless earlier terminated by the Company or the agents as permitted therein, the 2023 ATM Program was to terminate upon the earlier of: (a) the date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the ATM Shares sold under the 2023 ATM Program reaches the aggregate amount of US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars); or (b) December 31, 2024.

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.

Capital Risk Management

 

The Company's objectives are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to support the Company's normal operating requirements, continue the exploration of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets, including long-term investments.

At November 30, 2024, the Company's capital structure consists of the equity of the Company (Note 10). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay dividends.

 

13.

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. 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.

13.1

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.

 

13.2

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

    46,872       61,228  

 

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States Dollars and total $288.

 

The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at November 30, 2024 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3,366 on other comprehensive loss for the year ended November 30, 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 November 30, 2024 would have an impact of $722 on net loss for the year ended November 30, 2024.

 

13.3

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.

 

13.3

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.

 

13.5

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 November 30, 2024, the Company has working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $9,081.  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 $5,666 and other assets of $2,011 are not available for use by GoldMining or other subsidiaries of GoldMining (Note 11.1).

 

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 November 30, 2024, the Company owns 9.88 million shares and 0.12 million warrants of NASDAQ listed U.S. GoldMining, 21.53 million shares of NYSE listed Gold Royalty Corp. and 26.67 million shares of NevGold with the following fair values:

Gold Royalty Corp.

$38.9 million (US$27.8 million)

NevGold

$6.7 million

(1)Includes fair value of 0.12 million warrants held by the Company

 

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 2024 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.  

 

13.6

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 November 30, 2024, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3,366 on other comprehensive loss for the year ended November 30, 2024.

Deferred tax assets that can not be offset against deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements, as management does not consider it more likely than not that those assets will be realized in the near future.

As at November 30, 2024, the Company has non-capital losses of $50,587 in Canada which will expire between 2029 and 2044. The Company has non-capital losses of $14,986 in the United States of which $1,256 will expire between 2035 and 2038 and $13,730 may be carried forward indefinitely.

The Company holds an 84.05% interest in Boa Vista Gold Inc. ("BVG"), a corporation formed under the laws of British Virgin Islands, which holds the rights to the Boa Vista Gold Project (the "Boa Vista Project") located in Pará State, Brazil.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a shareholder's agreement among Brazilian Gold Corp ("BGC"), a subsidiary of the Company, D'Gold Mineral Ltda. ("D'Gold"), a former joint venture partner of BVG, and Majestic D&M Holdings LLC ("Majestic"), dated January 21, 2010, as amended on May 25, 2011, June 24, 2011 and November 15, 2011, a 1.5% net smelter return royalty is payable to D'Gold and a further 1.5% net smelter return royalty is payable by BVG to Majestic if Majestic's holding in BVG drops below 10%.

 

Pursuant to a mineral rights acquisition agreement, as amended, relating to the project, Golden Tapajós Mineração Ltda. ("GT"), a subsidiary of BVG, was required to pay R$3,620,000 in September 2018 to the counterparty thereunder. This was subsequently amended, whereby GT paid R$220,000 ($61) in December 2023 to maintain the option to acquire 100% of the Boa Vista Project mineral rights. The due date to pay the remaining balance of R$3,000,000 ($820) (the "Final Payment") was June 30, 2024. GT can now extend the option to make the Final Payment for an additional year on an annual basis by paying a fixed rate of 7% of the remaining balance on or before June 30 of each year. In June 2024, GT extended the option to make the Final Payment to June 30, 2025 by making a payment of R$210,000 ($52).

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") 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 contracted independent consultants to prepare the PAE and it was submitted to ANM on October 29, 2024.

 

As previously disclosed by the Company, concerning four exploration licenses represented by administrative proceedings nos. 850.193/2017 to 850.196/2017 (originally granted in August 2017) held by the Company, for which the first three-year term had expired, the Company has submitted to ANM preliminary exploration reports and license renewal applications for an additional three-year term. There is no assurance that such studies or reports will be accepted or that such renewal applications will be approved by ANM.

 

The Company added a further exploration concession to the São Jorge Project, represented by administrative proceedings no. 850.745/2024, acquired through public tender of the ANM in November 2024. The São Jorge Project currently consists of eight exploration concessions totalling 46,485.08 ha.

 

The Company intends to conduct further exploration work on the São Jorge Project to cover unsampled areas of the exploration licenses represented by administrative proceedings Nos. 850.275/2003 (originally granted in December 2010) and 850.556/2013 (originally granted in October 2016). A final exploration report is required to be submitted to ANM by April 2026.

 

Additional geochemical sampling program including auger drilling campaign is currently planned for the first quarter of 2025 to continue the exploration on target areas identified on claim no. 850.058/2002.

 

Whistler Gold-Copper Project

 

During the year ended November 30, 2024, U.S. GoldMining incurred $8.0 million of expenditures on the Whistler Project for consulting fees to vendors for geological and environmental work, drilling and other exploration field activities, camp, travel and logistics in support of field programs, permitting and compliance, regulatory and community stakeholder engagements, camp, equipment, road 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 the Whistler Project for the 2024 field season (the "2024 Whistler Program"). The exploration program was focused on additional confirmatory infill and step-out drilling within the Whistler and Raintree West deposits. Surface exploration activities were also completed 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 core 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, which included a 117% increase in indicated resources.

On November 18, 2024, U.S. GoldMining announced additional diamond core drill results from the 2024 Whistler Program, including diamond core drilling program including comprising delineation of high-grade mineralization in the western portion of the Whistler deposit.

 

On February 3, 2025, U.S. GoldMining announced additional diamond core drill results of WH24-03 and WH24-04 from the 2024 Whistler Program diamond core drilling program, including multiple broad intercepts of high-grade mineralization expanding the western portion of the Whistler deposit.

 

On February 10, 2025, U.S. GoldMining announced new assay results from WH24-05 which was drilled adjacent to the Raintree West Deposit as part of the 2024 Whistler Program, including confirmatory diamond core drilling program completed at the Whistler Project. The drilling intercepted multiple zones of high-grade gold and silver polymetallic mineralization approximately 500 meters south of any prior drilling at the deposit.

 

La Mina Gold-Copper Project

 

During the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company incurred $0.2 million of expenditures on the La Mina Gold-Copper Project, which included expenditures for camp maintenance, consulting fees to vendors who provided geological and technical services, payroll and personnel expenses and surface rights lease payments.

 

Titiribi Gold-Copper Project

 

During the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company incurred $0.4 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 been commenced at this time. The Titiribi Project remains in good standing.

The Company also submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment in 2013 to Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade of Pará as part of its environmental licensing process, which is ongoing. The Company received the Preliminary Environmental Licence endorsed by the Environmental Council of Pará State on March 15, 2022.

 

With the Preliminary Environmental License granted, the Company must now proceed to the next phase and attend to all requirements, within one to three years, to obtain an Installation License. Once the Company receives the Installation License it may proceed to start mining construction and operations.

 

The Company has initiated the field work necessary to meet the requirements of the Preliminary Environmental License. The Company has applied for an additional two year extension of the Preliminary Environmental License due to expire in March 2025, which is pending approval by the regulatory environmental agency.

 

An exploration concession, Process no. 850.007/2008, was dropped in January 2024. This mineral title did not contain any mineral resources and prior exploration work conducted did not reveal any results of interest.

 

 

Yarumalito Project – a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company holds a 100% interest in the Yarumalito Gold Project located in Antioquia, Colombia. The Yarumalito Project consists of one unified concession contract with an aggregate area of 1,453 ha, which expires on March 7, 2043, and is renewable for an additional 30 years. The concession requires approved work programs to be completed and tax to be paid to keep the concession in good standing.

 

The Company had proposed a work program to be completed in 2022. However, the program was granted a deferral by Antioquia's Secretary of Mines at the Antioquia Government as a result of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the deferral, the Company had until April 2024 to complete a work program or Programa de Trabajo y Obras ("PTO"; approximately equivalent to a PEA/Pre-Feasibility Study) to advance the Yarumalito Project and submit a final exploration report.  During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company made advances on a PTO study to examine opportunities for resource extraction on the Yarumalito Project as part of a submission of a final exploration report. The PTO looked to increase confidence and understanding of the existing gold and copper resource outlined on the Yarumalito Project. The reports required for meeting the requirements of the PTO, final exploration and social plan report were submitted in January 2024.

 

On July 17, 2024 the Company was notified of a requirement from the Mining Authority to present the status of environmental licensing process before the Environment Authority. The Company has completed the required environmental impact studies that were submitted on October 22, 2024. In February 2025, the Company was notified that the PTO submitted for the Yarumalito Project was approved, and when the Antioquia Environmental Agency's Resolution granting such approval is registered, an environmental impact assessment required for the proposed works would be triggered.

(2) Others consists of GoldMining and all of its subsidiaries, excluding U.S. GoldMining and US GoldMining Canada Inc.

 

For the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company had an operating loss of $25.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $25.3 million for the year ended November 30, 2023. On a consolidated basis, increases in operating losses were primarily the result of increases in exploration expenses, general and administrative expenses, share of loss in associate, and a lower recovery on receipt of mineral property option payments for the Almaden Project (the Company completed the sale of the Almaden Project to NevGold on January 18, 2024. See the AIF for additional information), offset by decreases in professional fees, share-based compensation, impairment of exploration and evaluation assets, and financing costs.

 

General and administrative expenses were $8.3 million in the year ended November 30, 2024, compared to $7.5 million in the year ended November 30, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of higher investor communications, marketing, office, and travel expenses, offset by decreases in transfer agent and regulatory fees.

 

Directors' fees, employee salaries and benefits, which includes management and personnel salaries, were $2.4 million in the year ended November 30, 2024, compared to $2.2 million in the year ended November 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to hiring of additional staff.

 

Exploration expenses were $10.5 million in the year ended November 30, 2024, compared to $8.7 million in the year ended November 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases in exploration expenditures associated with U.S. GoldMining's Whistler Project, the São Jorge, Titiribi, Crucero, Yarumalito and Rea Projects, partially offset by decreases in expenditures at the La Mina and Cachoeira Projects. Significant exploration expenditures included a confirmatory drill program at the Whistler Project and a diamond core drilling program and power auger drilling program at the São Jorge Project.

Non-cash share-based compensation expenses were $2.3 million in the year ended November 30, 2024, compared to $3.3 million in the year ended November 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of fewer options granted during the year ended November 30, 2024, and lower share-based compensation recorded by U.S. GoldMining, compared to the year ended November 30, 2023. Share-based compensation for the year ended November 30, 2024 includes $0.3 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 $0.5 million in the year ended November 30, 2023.

 

Professional fees were $2.0 million in the year ended November 30, 2024, compared to $3.8 million in the year ended November 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of higher legal, accounting, tax and advisory services, associated with U.S. GoldMining's IPO in the comparative period.

 

Share of loss in associate was $1.5 million in the year ended November 30, 2024, compared to $0.1 million in the year ended November 30, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in ownership of NevGold Shares and greater activity at NevGold during the year ended November 30, 2024. 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 $2.3 million was recognized by the Company for the year ended November 30, 2024, compared to $2.7 million in the year ended November 30, 2023. The recoveries during the years ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 resulted from the receipt of NevGold Shares as option payments from NevGold for the Almaden Project, which had a carrying value of $nil.

 

Dividend income was $nil in the year ended November 30, 2024, compared to $0.9 million in the year ended November 30, 2023. Dividend income in the prior year was comprised of the quarterly dividends paid by GRC.

 

In the year ended November 30, 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 year ended November 30, 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 year ended November 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss on impairment of exploration and evaluation assets for its Surubim Project of $0.1 million, compared to $1.8 million for the year ended November 30, 2023. The Company's Surubim Project consists of the Surubim and Rio Novo concessions located in Para State, Brazil. During the year ended November 30, 2023, the Company continued efforts to negotiate an extension for its Rio Novo concessions under its option agreement with Jarbas Duarte, but after failing to settle, provided the property vendor with a notice of termination resulting in the impairment of the Surubim Project.

 

For the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company recognized a current income tax expense of $1.9 million. The current income tax expense resulted from the completion of the sale of the Almaden Project to a subsidiary of NevGold.

 

For the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company recognized a deferred income tax expense of $0.2 million, compared to $4.9 million for the year ended November 30, 2023. The deferred income tax expense for the year ended November 30, 2024 resulted from the remeasurement of GRC Shares at fair value. The deferred income tax expense during the year ended November 30, 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 year ended November 30, 2023 resulted from the recognition of a deferred tax liability upon receipt of NevGold Shares pursuant to the NevGold option agreement, and the remeasurement of GRC Shares and NevGold Shares at fair value during the year ended November 30, 2023.

 

For the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on revaluation of long-term investments of $6.3 million in other comprehensive loss, compared to an unrealized loss of $30.8 million for the year ended November 30, 2023, as a result of a decrease in the fair value of its long-term investments. The unrealized losses during the years ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were offset by deferred income tax recoveries of $0.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The long-term investments are measured at fair value with reference to closing foreign exchange rates and the quoted market share prices.

 

During the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company's net loss was $27.3 million, or $0.13 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $25.3 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $2.1 million was attributable to non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of $30.4 million, or $0.17 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $28.8 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $1.7 million was attributable to non-controlling interests, during the year ended November 30, 2023.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company had an operating loss of $9.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $9.0 million for the same period of 2023. On a consolidated basis, increases in operating losses were primarily the result of an increase in general and administrative expenses and share of loss in associate, offset by decreases in exploration expenses, professional fees and share-based compensation.

 

General and administrative expenses were $2.3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2024, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of higher investor communications and marketing expenses.

 

Directors' fees, employee salaries and benefits, which includes management and personnel salaries, were $0.8 million for the three months ended November 30, 2024, compared $0.7 million for the same period in 2023.

 

Exploration expenses were $3.4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2024, compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower exploration expenditures associated with U.S. GoldMining's Whistler Project. Significant exploration expenditures included work associated with a confirmatory drill program at the Whistler Project and a diamond core drilling program and power auger drilling program at the São Jorge Project.

 

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

Non-cash share-based compensation expenses were $0.1 million during the three months ended November 30, 2024, compared to $0.9 million during the three months ended November 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of fewer options granted during the three months ended November 30, 2024, and lower share-based compensation recorded by U.S. GoldMining, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2023. Share-based compensation for the three months ended November 30, 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 $0.1 million during the three months ended November 30, 2023.

 

Professional fees were $0.5 million during the three months ended November 30, 2024, compared to $0.8 million during the three months ended November 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of increased legal fees incurred for the ATM program in the comparative period.

 

Share of loss in associate was $1.0 million during the three months ended November 30, 2024, compared to $0.1 million during the three months ended November 30, 2023. The increase in share of loss in associate was primarily the result of an increase in ownership of NevGold Shares and greater activity at NevGold in the three months ended November 30, 2024. The Company reported the results of NevGold as an associate using the equity method effective July 13, 2023.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company recognized a deferred income tax recovery of $0.1 million, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023. The deferred income tax recovery for the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 resulted from the remeasurement of GRC Shares at fair value.

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on revaluation of long-term investments of $0.8 million in other comprehensive loss, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023, as a result of an increase in the fair value of its long-term investments. The unrealized gains during the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were offset by deferred income tax expenses of $0.1 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 November 30, 2024, the Company's net loss was $9.4 million, or $0.04 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $8.7 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $0.7 million was attributable to non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.04 per share on a basic and diluted basis, of which $6.7 million was attributable to shareholders of the Company and $1.0 million was attributable to non-controlling interests during the three months ended November 30, 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 November 30, 2024 was $13.0 million (US$9.6 million). 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 of 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 $1.6 million (US$1.2 million).

 

Actual use of proceeds for repayment of liabilities was $2.4 million (US$1.8 million) with the difference being due 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 $4.9 million (US$3.6 million). The proceeds used to date primarily relate to general and administrative expenditures, with the increase due to expenses incurred 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). Proceeds used to date primarily relate to the construction of camp structures and purchase of equipment. The difference primarily relates to reallocating the use of proceeds from other general working capital purposes to use at exploration and development activities at the Whistler Project.

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 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 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 November 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totalling $11.9 million compared to $21.6 million at November 30, 2023, and $1.4 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 $5.5 million compared to $15.5 million at November 30, 2023, and $0.5 million in other current 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 year ended November 30, 2024. As of November 30, 2024, the Company had long-term investments of $38.9 million compared to $45.1 million as at November 30, 2023, and held NevGold Shares with a fair value of $6.7 million as at November 30, 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 $1.6 million as of November 30, 2024, compared to $1.8 million at November 30, 2023. As of November 30, 2024, the Company had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $9.1 million compared to $21.4 million at November 30, 2023. As of November 30, 2024, U.S. GoldMining had working capital of $5.3 million compared to $15.6 million at November 30, 2023.

 

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 2024 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:

 

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. During the year ended November 30, 2024 the Company has concluded no impairment indicators exist for any of its exploration and evaluation assets, except for its Surubim Project, which was written down by $0.1 million during the year.

 

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, 2023:

 

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies – The amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy. To support the amendment, the International Accounting Standards Board has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the 'fourstep materiality process' described in IFRS Practice Statement 2. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated 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:

 

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. The implementation of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on 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. 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 the warrants include risk-free interest rate, volatility, and dividend yield.

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:

Colombian Peso

    428       546  

Total

    46,872       61,228  

 

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States dollars and total $0.3 million.

 

The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at November 30, 2024 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3.4 million on other comprehensive loss for the year ended November 30, 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 November 30, 2024 would have an impact of $0.7 million on net loss for the year ended November 30, 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 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 its financial institutions.

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 November 30, 2024, the Company has working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $9.1 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 $5.7 million and other assets of $2.0 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 2024 ATM Program, whereby the Company has the ability to issue GoldMining Shares for cash, and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal.

 

As of November 30, 2024, the Company owns 9.88 million U.S. GoldMining Shares and 0.12 million warrants to purchase U.S. GoldMining Shares, 21.53 million GRC Shares and 26.67 million NevGold Shares with the following fair values:

 

Equity Holdings

U.S. GoldMining

$168.1 million (US$120.0 million)(1)

GRC

$38.9 million (US$27.8 million)

NevGold

$6.7 million

(1)Includes fair value of 0.12 million warrants held by the Company

 

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 2024 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 November 30, 2024, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3.4 million on other comprehensive loss for the year ended November 30, 2024.

 

Outstanding Share Data

 

As of the date hereof, the Company has 195,935,156 GoldMining Shares outstanding. In addition, the following options and restricted share rights outstanding are summarized below.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the CEO and the CFO, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this MD&A, management of the Company, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's DC&P as required by Canadian National Instrument 52–109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52–109"). The evaluation included documentation review, enquiries and other procedures considered by management to be appropriate in the circumstances. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of November 30, 2024, the DC&P (as defined in NI 52-109) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's annual and interim filings and other reports filed or submitted under applicable securities laws, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified by those laws and that material information is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management, with the participation of its CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") as such term is defined in Canada under NI 52-109.  The Company's ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company's financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The Company's ICFR include policies and procedures that:

 

 

maintain records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;

 

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB;

 

provide reasonable assurance that the Company's receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Company's Directors; and

 

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company's ICFR may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for 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 Company uses the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework published by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as the basis for assessing its ICFR. Management performed an evaluation of the Company's ICFR and concluded that, as at November 30, 2024, ICFR were designed and operating effectively so as to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, believes that any DC&P or ICFR, no matter how well conceived and operated, may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any control system is also based in part upon certain future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
