U.S. GoldMining Highlights Northern Exploration Targets at the Whistler Gold-Copper Project, Alaska
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 27, 2025 /CNW/ - U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ: USGO) ("U.S. GoldMining" or the Company") is pleased to provide further detail regarding its high priority exploration targets for the northern part of its Whistler Gold-Copper Project (the "Whistler Project" or the "Project") in Alaska, U.S.A.
Highlights:
The Whistler - Raintree mineral system, also referred to as the 'Whistler Orbit', comprises a classic 'porphyry cluster' spread over an area of approximately 5 x 5 km, containing multiple mapped and interpreted porphyry intrusions and including the established Whistler and Raintree West mineral resource deposits. Porphyry deposits are the primary source of copper globally and can also contain significant other metals such as gold, silver and molybdenum.1 Whistler represents a gold-rich variant of the porphyry family.
Over 25 individual exploration targets are identified within the Whistler Orbit area, comprising a mix of mapped diorite porphyry rocks and/or surface geochemical anomalies, and interpreted diorite porphyry stocks and dykes from 3D magnetic modelling.
The potential for new discoveries within the Whistler Orbit was exemplified by the recently announced drilling results south of Raintree West deposit (see news release dated February 10, 2025) which included 138.0 m at 0.99 g/t AuEq (comprised of 0.89 g/t Au and 0.05% Cu) plus 17.57 g/t Ag, 0.44% Pb and 0.95% Zn, located 500 meters south of the Raintree West deposit in an area with no previous drilling.
The Company's 100% owned Whistler Project, which lies within the emerging West Susitna Mineral District located just 100 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska, encompasses a contiguous land package of 53,700 acres of State mining claims. The footprint of the existing gold-copper deposits makes up <1% of the total Project area.
The Company is currently planning for potential future exploration programs to test the highest ranking gold ± copper ± silver targets identified to date and to develop phased exploration programs which could commence this coming summer.

Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "The Whistler Gold-Copper Project is located within the West Susitna Mineral District, which contains established gold, copper and silver mineral resources, plus potential for other critical metals such as antimony and tungsten. The Whistler Project, located just 105 miles from Anchorage, Alaska, encompasses three known mineral systems containing existing gold-copper-silver deposits and numerous additional potential exploration targets. Located in the north of the claim group, the Whistler-Raintree Mineral System already contains two of the three deposits delineated to date and over 25 additional individual potential exploration targets identified over an area of approximately 5 x 5 km. Also known as the Whistler Orbit, this area is underlain by a large causative batholith which has spawned a 'porphyry cluster' of multiple high-level intrusive bodies prospective for porphyry-style gold-copper-silver mineralization. We have an established exploration methodology, including the ability to directly image the intrusive bodies by inversion modeling of magnetic survey data coupled with geochemical and alteration data that is helping to vector exploration towards the highest priority targets. We are excited about the potential for systematic exploration to unlock additional resource growth at Whistler."
Whistler-Raintree Mineral System Exploration Targets
The Company's geological analysis of Whistler indicates significant potential to build upon the Company's first two highly successful field seasons completed at Whistler during the summer of 2023 and 2024. Our growing database incorporates knowledge compiled from drilling, relogging of historical drill core, surface mapping and sampling, and geophysical processing and interpretation. Over 25 potential individual targets have been identified to date, and the Company is working though a systematic review of their geological attributes to rank each target and to develop priorities for future exploration programs.
The Whistler Orbit area comprises a broad basin with low-lying gently sloping topography located between three mountain ranges. The flanks and lower parts of the basin are covered in variable thickness till and gravel deposits. Thicker deposits of till and gravel, see Figure 1 upper image, prevents direct surficial mapping and geochemical prospecting techniques and thus requires remote sensing techniques and/or drilling to penetrate the cover sequence to test the underlying bedrock for mineralization potential. One of the key remote sensing techniques used in gold-copper exploration is airborne magnetic surveying, where magnetometers attached to fixed-wing or rotary aircraft fly a grid pattern to map the distribution of magnetic minerals in the geology of the upper crust. Magnetic surveys are particularly useful for exploring for gold-copper porphyry -systems like Whistler, because both the host intrusive rock and the alteration associated with gold-copper mineralization can produce magnetite in sufficient quantities for detection by remote sensing.
High magnetite concentrations in circular anomalies (when viewed in plan view), often referred to as 'bulls-eye' anomalies, can be directly targeted for on-ground exploration. Over recent years, 3D subsurface 'inversion' modelling has evolved to the point where we can approximate the geometry of the magnetic anomalies below surface. Using the known Whistler Deposit as a training dataset, the magnetics processing for Whistler Orbit has modelled dozens of high-level pipe-like porphyry intrusives coming close to surface – see Figure 1 lower image. Our geologists note that a number of magnetic inversion targets have similar scale to the Whistler Deposit host diorite-porphyry, while others represent smaller 'pencil' porphyries or dyke swarms.
The Mammoth target is magnetically similar to the Whistler deposit, comprising a pipe- or plug-shaped interpreted intrusion with a similar diameter to the Whistler deposit and a 'cupola' located at its base. Mammoth is undrilled, but surface till sampling in 2024 revealed elevated gold, copper, silver and other pathfinder mineral values located proximal to the magnetic anomaly, and morphological analysis of recovered gold particles indicates irregular shaped grains which suggests a potential nearby source.
The Big White and Sunbowl targets are interpreted broadly to be extensions north and south (respectively) of the Whistler deposit host porphyry system. Big White represents the northern extension of the Whistler deposit's magnetic and Induced Polarity ("IP") chargeability anomaly, which relates to phyllic alteration associated with porphyry mineralization (see Figure 1). Located to the south of Whistler, Sunbowl likewise represents a chargeability anomaly where mineralization may have been offset from the Whistler deposit by faulting or intrusion of post mineral porphyry.
At Raintree North and East, historic drilling of bulls-eye magnetic targets intersected elevated gold, copper and silver assays, indicative of the right rock types and hydrothermal processes that could represent nearby porphyry-style mineralization. The peak intercept from historic drillhole WH11-034, drilled in 2011 at the Raintree North prospect, comprised 120.66 meters at 0.73 g/t AuEq (containing 0.46 g/t Au, 0.16% Cu & 1.68 g/t Ag) from 177.0 meters down hole, providing encouragement for the possibility of additional porphyry mineralization in an area that warrants additional drill testing.
Hotfoot, located approx. 0.75 kilometers south of Raintree West deposit, comprises a large pipe-shaped magnetic feature similar to the host of the Whistler deposit. A single historic drill hole (RG11-032) intersected potassic and phyllic alteration suggestive of porphyry mineralization nearby. Also, the recently announced drill discovery (138.0 m at 0.99 g/t AuEq) located 500 meters south of Raintree West deposit, could represent distal veining from a relatively nearby porphyry source, for which Hotfoot is a potential candidate.
The Company's geological analysis and exploration planning remains ongoing. Potential future exploration programs would be expected to run in parallel with the Company's previously announced initial economic assessment for the Project (see news release 15 April 2025), thereby seeking to develop Whistler's full potential by investigating not only the base case mine development potential of the existing resources, but also to build a pipeline of future potential resources which could feed into a larger potential mining opportunity at the Whistler Project in future. Start dates for exploration have not been determined yet.

2 High-Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold for Great Long-Term Potential
CoreWeave is a promising stock to use to profit from the growing investment in AI infrastructure services. Axon stock recently hit new highs as it continues to report growing demand for its public safety solutions. 10 stocks we like better than CoreWeave › Investing in fast-growing companies that still have a large opportunity ahead for their products can help you build wealth. Artificial intelligence (AI) and public safety are promising industries to look for investments in 2025. Here are two stocks to ride these megatrends. AI is expected to add trillions in value to the economy over the long term, but this first requires substantial investment in data centers specially designed to handle AI computing workloads. CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) is a leader in offering AI infrastructure through the cloud for training models and other advanced workloads at scale. CoreWeave's revenue has exploded over the last year, growing from $189 million in Q1 2024 to $982 million in Q1 2025. Management expects 2025 revenue to be between $4.9 billion to $5.1 billion. For a long-term investor, CoreWeave is a unique stock with which to ride the growth of AI. It earns revenue through multiyear contracts or on-demand services, but most of its revenue is through committed contracts. This business model instills steady revenue and growing cash flows over time. The business is in the process of investing in technology to meet growing demand for its services. It reported a loss of $314 million last quarter. This mostly reflects the high upfront investment it's making in infrastructure, such as Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs), to offer its AI cloud platform to customers. However, CoreWeave is already showing the potential to be a very profitable business down the road. In Q1, its adjusted operating income increased 17% year over year to $163 million. But until it achieves higher margins, investors should expect the stock to be volatile. This is a world-class AI infrastructure provider that is trading at a price-to-sales multiple of 13 based on management's 2025 guidance. This is based on the company's current market cap (share price times shares outstanding) of $64 billion. Investors buying around this valuation can still expect to earn excellent returns over the next several years. Axon Enterprise (NASDAQ: AXON) (formerly Taser International) started over 30 years ago selling its Taser energy devices for law enforcement and self-defense. In recent years, the company has transformed into a services company with software solutions. This has grown its addressable market to an estimated $129 billion. Axon offers cloud-based evidence gathering software and body cameras, which has transformed the business from a device seller to a comprehensive solutions provider for public safety. Revenue from software and services grew 39% year over year to $263 million last quarter. Taser devices remain a key growth driver for the company. Since launching a few years ago, Taser 10 orders are growing twice as fast as the adoption of Taser 7. This indicates an expanding market for its products, which is a great sign for investors buying shares today. Axon's total revenue grew 31% year over year last quarter to $604 million. Axon is also benefiting from strong demand for Draft One, a service that uses AI to automatically fill out data entries and police reports. It saves hours of time from manual work, which has made it the fastest-growing software offering in Axon's history. Taser is potentially vulnerable to risks that investors should be aware of. It generates some revenue from government contracts, making it susceptible to spending cuts and higher compliance costs that could pressure its profit margin. It could also face public backlash and resistance from privacy concerns over its body camera products. But Axon's history shows that the need for enhanced public safety tools continues to grow. The stock surged to new highs following its first-quarter earnings report, which can be taken as a bullish signal on the company's future.

Is Roku Stock a Long-Term Buy?
Roku's earnings are negative by design, as the company focuses on user growth. Roku's price-to-sales and price-to-book ratios suggest the stock is more than reasonably affordable. This growth stock has a long way to run. 10 stocks we like better than Roku › At first glance, Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) looks like a terrible investment. Earnings are negative. Sales are rising, but much more slowly than they were four years ago. The stock trades at an unaffordable valuation of 125 times forward earnings estimates. After a long-forgotten price spike in the pandemic lockdown era, Roku's stock fell hard and then traded sideways over the last three years. But if you look a bit closer, you should see a healthy long-term growth story in play. Roku targets a huge global market, following in the footsteps of proven winners, and the stock doesn't appear expensive at all from other perspectives. It's actually one of my favorite stocks to buy in 2025, and Roku should be a helpful addition to long-term portfolios. Let me deconstruct the scary qualities I mentioned above. Roku's red-ink earnings are at least partly a voluntary choice. The company treats its streaming hardware as a marketing tool, selling Roku sticks and TV sets below the manufacturing and distribution costs. This user-growth tactic is especially unprofitable in Roku's highest-volume sales periods. The holiday quarter of 2024, for example, nearly quadrupled the devices segment's negative gross margin from 7.6% in the third quarter to 28.6% in the fourth. In other words, Roku is running its business with unprofitable profit margins to maximize its market reach and user growth. Furthermore, I'm talking about generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which is the standard accounting method used for calculating taxes. Roku often posts negative GAAP earnings that result in tax refunds rather than expenses. At the same time, free cash flows tend to land on the positive side with modest cash profits. That's just efficient accounting powered by stock-based compensation and amortization of Roku's media-streaming content library. Roku's year-over-year sales growth has averaged 14.7% over the last two years. That's a sharp retreat from 40.9% in the three years before that. But don't forget that the extreme growth was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lots of people turned to digital media during the lockdown period, resulting in a unique business spike for companies like Roku and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). The pandemic also happened to take place just months after Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) launched the Disney+ streaming service, inspiring a torrent of copycat service launches. Long story short, there may never be a media market like the one in 2020-2021 again. Holding on to nearly half of that nitro-boosted growth rate in recent years is actually really good. Let me point back to the voluntary GAAP losses. Roku isn't trying to generate huge taxable profits at this time, which makes price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios largely unusable. Even the forward-looking version of this common metric relies on Roku's guidance targets filtered through Wall Street's analysis. If anything, the analyst community's projections are more optimistic than Roku's official targets. Management expects a $30 million GAAP loss in fiscal year 2025, which would work out to another "not applicable" P/E ratio. If you look at other valuation metrics, Roku starts to look like a bargain. Trading at 2.6 times trailing sales, the stock is comparable to slow-growth giants such as Caterpillar or Unilever. Roku also seems undervalued, if you base your analysis on its robust balance sheet, with a price-to-book ratio of 4.4 and a price-to-cash multiple of 4.9. I'll admit that Roku's stalled stock chart can be frustrating. Share prices are down 17% over the last three years, missing out on 44% growth in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) market index. Roku's sales are up 45% over this period, while free cash flow rose by 66%. When will the big payoff come, rewarding patient shareholders for Roku's quiet success? That's OK, though. Keeping stock prices low just gives investors more time to build those Roku positions. I have bought Roku more often than any other stock since the spring of 2022, and I might not be done adding shares yet. Whenever I have spare cash ready for investments, Roku pops up as a top idea. That remains true in June 2025. So, let the chart slouch lower. Affordable buy-in prices can set you up for tremendous long-term returns. Before you buy stock in Roku, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Roku wasn't one of them.
