GoldMining Inc. Highlights State of Alaska's Commitment to Critical Infrastructure Supporting U.S. GoldMining's Whistler Gold-Copper Project

Cision Canada29-07-2025
VANCOUVER, BC, July 29, 2025 /CNW/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD; NYSE American: GLDG) applauds the recent announcement by the State of Alaska and the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (" AIDEA") regarding the submission of a permit application for the West Susitna Access Project (" WSAP"). This vital infrastructure initiative will unlock significant economic development potential in south central Alaska, potentially directly benefiting the Whistler Gold-Copper Project (" Whistler Project" or the " Project"), which is being advanced by U.S. GoldMining Inc. (" U.S. GoldMining"), a 79% owned subsidiary of GoldMining.
On July 25, 2025, AIDEA announced (here) that it had submitted a Department of the Army Individual Permit application for the construction of the WSAP, a transformative 78.5-mile proposed access road across Alaska's Matanuska-Susitna Borough (" MSB") in south central Alaska. The WSAP is designed to connect to a separate road project being led by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities that will extend 22-miles of new public and industry road westward from the existing road system. The WSAP would connect U.S. GoldMining's flagship gold-copper deposit with existing highway, rail, power and port infrastructure in the eastern MSB, where a large and skilled workforce resides in the tri-city municipalities of Anchorage, Palmer and Wasilla. The WSAP will provide year-round public access to currently remote State public lands and private lands within the MSB, as well as areas planned for resource development, including the Whistler Project.
Alastair Still, CEO of GoldMining, commented: We strongly support and applaud the State of Alaska and AIDEA for taking decisive action to advance critical government-backed infrastructure that has the potential to unlock future resource extraction and long-term economic opportunities," said Alastair Still, CEO of GoldMining. "This initiative is a clear example of how targeted government infrastructure investment can serve as a catalyst for responsible mineral development. As the majority owner of U.S. GoldMining, we recognize the value that the West Susitna Access Project brings to unlocking Whistler's potential, while creating jobs, driving investment, and supporting long-term economic growth in Alaska. With copper and gold prices surging and the Trump administration pursuing policies that support domestic resource security, we believe this is an ideal moment to advance a U.S.-based gold-copper project like the Whistler Project. The Project is well positioned to benefit from these favorable market and policy conditions in combination with being actively advanced through the recently commenced initial economic assessment and upcoming exploration program."
For further information regarding the Whistler Project refer to the technical report titled "NI 43-101 2024 Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Whistler Project, South Central Alaska" with an effective date of September 12, 2024, available under GoldMining's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Hedge funds flip on green energy and start betting against oil

Article content For green investors, it's been 'less bad than expected,' said Nishant Gupta, founder and chief investment officer of Kanou Capital LLP, an energy transition-focused hedge fund. 'There's been more protection around US domestic production than expected.' Article content And this year's tariff wars have coincided with a broad rebound in green stocks. Since Trump first unveiled his proposed tariffs on April 2 — dubbed Liberation Day by the White House — the main S&P index tracking clean energy stocks has added about 18%. Over the same period, the main S&P index for oil companies is down around 4%. Article content Much of the clean-energy rebound has been driven by solar. The Invesco Solar ETF, a widely tracked exchange-traded fund packed with solar stocks, is up more than 18% since April 2. Article content More hedge funds continue to be short stocks in the Kraneshares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF than long — a constant since 2021 as China has steadily displaced Western manufacturers. But the share of net shorts dropped to 2.87% in June, which is the second-lowest level in almost half a decade. Article content Article content At the same time, there's an expectation among fund managers that the continued rise in sales of EVs globally will reduce the need for petroleum. That matches BloombergNEF estimates, which anticipate a 25% annual increase in EV sales this year. BNEF also expects that about 40% of vehicles on the road could be electric by 2040, displacing 19 million barrels of oil a day by that year. Article content The strategy shift among funds reflects the fact that economic growth without low-carbon energy is now inconceivable, according to Trium's Mares. Article content 'If we are going to continue to grow both in developed and emerging economies, we're going to need a lot of energy,' he said. 'A big chunk of the marginal growth in energy over the last 10 years has come from renewables and it's hard to see why that isn't going to continue.' Article content MethodologyBloomberg Green analyzed anonymized weekly data that around 700 hedge fund managers disclosed to Hazeltree, from January 2021 through 27 June 2025. The hedge funds in the Hazeltree database vary in terms of assets under management, and the analysis is not weighted by hedge fund assets or size of position held. Collectively, AUM for the hedge funds analyzed is around $700 billion. Total assets under management in the hedge fund industry were around $4.7 trillion at the end of the second quarter 2025, according to Hedge Fund Research. Bloomberg also interviewed hedge fund managers on their oil and energy transition bets and on trends from the data analysis. Article content Article content Hedge funds mostly provided their data to Hazeltree via prime brokers. There is a possibility that some positions may not be disclosed. These will not be included in Hazeltree's data or in the Bloomberg analysis. Article content Hazeltree's data reports percentages of the hedge funds that held net long positions and net short positions for a specific stock. Bloomberg's analysis categorized roughly 230 stocks based on key ETFs or indices for a sector, and further calculated a sector-wide monthly average. In some cases, the same company could be included in different sectors. Four stocks didn't appear in the Hazeltree data provided to Bloomberg.

Danielle Smith visits Mexico to strengthen ties in energy, agriculture

Article content 'I think, for Canada, Mexico represents a very important market to diversify on alternative markets,' he said, with the hope that the trilateral relationship between the U.S., Canada and Mexico repairs and grows. Article content Cortines said he was against the idea of a bilateral trade between Mexico and Canada that left the U.S. out. Article content 'All the economies are very interconnected,' he said. 'And there are some things that you can do directly create trade, but at the end of the day, we need to work together as an integrated area and it's going to benefit all the countries.' Article content Mexico also received a visit from Canada's foreign and finance ministers last week, following a commitment voiced by Prime Minister Mark Carney to repair ties between the two countries. Article content Article content 'This is an all-hands-on-deck moment for us to reignite the bilateral relationship,' Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand told Bloomberg on Friday. Article content In addition to an hour-long discussion with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Anand and Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne also met with Mexico's economy czar and energy chief. Article content On the business side, their talks included representatives from Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. railway, TC Energy Corp. and pension giant Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec. Article content During the meetings, both sides explored how Canadian companies and capital investors can help build infrastructure in Mexico that facilitates bilateral trade, including ports and rail, according to a person with direct knowledge of the talks. Strengthening energy security, including conventional and renewable power, was also discussed. Article content Article content 'This visit is part of Canada's diversification strategy, to leverage the connection with Mexico,' said Diego Marroquín, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington who focuses on North American trade. But, he added, it was also about 'damage control.' Article content Article content Both Carney and Sheinbaum have voiced a strong desire to preserve the trilateral ties between Mexico and Canada, as have been continued for 31 years through the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 and then the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement that replaced it in 2020. Article content However, the relationship between the two became fraught after former prime minister Justin Trudeau mused last year about leaving Mexico out of a trade deal with the U.S. and suggested that Canada and the U.S. were better aligned on issues like China. Article content With Trudeau out of office, both sides have signalled intentions to repair the relationships and preserve opportunity for bilateral trade, especially in the face of Trump's tariff hikes on either side of the U.S. border. Article content Trump hiked tariffs to 35 per cent on Canadian goods that don't comply with the continental free-trade agreement, in part because the northern nation retaliated against his levies. Mexico, which hasn't hit back, was granted a 90-day reprieve while negotiations with the US continue. Article content

Letters to the editor, Aug. 10: ‘Canada should now take all concessions off the table … it is time to be tough against a tyrant'

Re 'Poilievre says Carney has failed with Trump, urges narrow countertariffs' (Aug. 8): I worry that Canada might capitulate to bullying from Washington like so many other countries have done. From my perspective, Canada should now take all concessions off the table, including elimination of the digital services tax. Canada should also impose tariffs on non-USMCA-compliant vehicles and other goods from the United States. Hit back on any other items that can generate revenue to compensate our people from the impact of tariffs, including energy and oil and gas. Perhaps Canada and Britain can reach a deal on steel. Both countries export to the U.S; if what each country makes complements the loss of U.S. trade, it could be win-win. It is time to be tough against a tyrant. Bullies are encouraged by acquiescence. Fawning is disgusting and encourages him. Janet Henley St. John's Re 'Carney announces $1.2-billion in lumber industry supports' (Report on Business, Aug. 6): Get around U.S. softwood tariffs by going metric. Years ago, we went metric for weights and measurements at great expense, for little payback. There would certainly be costs involved, but if we went metric on softwood manufacturing, then the world would be our market and not just the United States. We would lose the U.S. market, but then, as Donald Trump said, they 'don't need anything Canada has.' Frank Best Collingwood, Ont. Re 'Trump's firing of economic data collector raises alarm' (Aug. 4): Examples from Greece, China, and Argentina of the disastrous results of political interference in non-political institutions are helpful. But we don't have to look far to see similar examples much closer to home. Not long ago, the Harper government didn't seem to like the policy implications of demographic information, so the long-form census was cancelled; for similar reasons, scientific input into public discourse was silenced. And there are more current provincial examples of attacks on public institutions and processes. Institutional interference that serves only political purposes is always corrosive. It is well and good to be reminded of this by observing the international experience. However, that does not obviate the need to be aware of the same phenomena, past and present, occurring right here. Kent Sargeant Calgary Re 'How Norway cracked the electric-vehicle code' (Aug. 1): Here's one way to shift to more electric vehicles. Fully charged EV batteries should be modular and available for exchange at gas stations. It should take less than one minute when all EVs are designed for quick battery replacement. The removed batteries should then be sent to large central facilities that refurbish and recharge them, then send them back to services stations. Motorists don't own the batteries; the cost could be added to monthly electricity bills. This method would require little new infrastructure and no need for motorists to replace expensive long-term batteries. 'Refuelling' times would be faster than filling a tank with gasoline. Frank Foulkes Professor emeritus, department of chemical engineering and applied chemistry, University of Toronto Re 'What's in a number?' (Letters, Aug. 2): Several correspondents have argued strongly for lowering the voting age to 16. That, by lowering the voting age, democracy is strengthened. That, in particular, it is our youth who will have to live with the downstream results of today's political decisions. And, at present, the future has no vote. So why stop at 16? Since those under 16 have even more riding on the future, their votes should be cast by their mothers, acting on their behalves. I guarantee child poverty and related issues would be cleared up within a couple of election cycles. Just look at what the senior vote did for my demographic. Here is an opportunity for Canada to show the world we take the future of our youngsters very seriously. Allan Portis Toronto Re 'A long ballot satire within satire' (July 30): So the Longest Ballot Committee believes that election laws would be better made by a citizens' assembly. Why stop there? Given the issues with electoral politics on every file, why not turn Parliament itself into a citizens' assembly – that is, appoint members by random lottery? (The modern term for this is sortition.) If they want real democracy, regardless of leaning left or right, return democracy to its roots: This is how officials were appointed in ancient Athens, where elections were deprecated by Aristotle as a recipe for oligarchy. People on juries act seriously. It can work in Parliament, too. Mark Tilley Middlesex County, Ont. Re 'Vancouver mourns the loss of its iconic Kitsilano Beach log' (Aug. 2): While I understand the city's concern for safety, the removal of the beloved giant driftwood from Kitsilano Beach without thought for the community has truly left us saddened. For generations, this magnificent piece served as a play area for children, a sunset gathering spot for friends and families and no less a peaceful place for meditation for many of us. It wasn't just a piece of wood, it was a keeper of memories and a symbol of community connection. It's not too late to commemorate this driftwood's profound impact. I urge Vancouver officials to work with residents to create a meaningful legacy, be it through an art installation, a memorial plaque, poetry embedded nearby or ultimately a safe, remodelled structure that pays tribute to the original. Beryl Woodrow Vancouver Re 'Cleaning after my mother's death taught me about what can't be replaced' (First Person, Aug. 1): I, too, despaired at the task of cleaning out my mother's home after she died almost two years ago. My mom was also an organized 'keeper.' When I would gently chastise her for the multiple accumulated notepads, or stacks of balls of wool we'd come across while valiantly searching for some other crucial item, she'd smile and say, 'I will use them one day!' I'm now ashamed that this occasionally annoyed me. (I did, surreptitiously, do away with my childhood Encyclopedia Britannica set. I'm sure she noticed, but didn't say a word.) The smallest things made my heart skip a beat when I came across them after her death: her favourite lipstick tucked in the back of a drawer, a delicate and frayed silk scarf not worn for years, a copy of a note to a dear friend. I carry one of her many handwritten shopping lists-bookmarks in my wallet. Andrea Cooper Murphy Toronto Letters to the Editor should be exclusive to The Globe and Mail.
