Lifezone Metals Files Initial Assessment for the Kabanga Nickel Project in Tanzania
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lifezone Metals Limited's (NYSE: LZM) Chief Executive Officer, Chris Showalter, and Chief Operating Officer, Gerick Mouton, announce today the results from the Initial Assessment for its flagship Kabanga Nickel Project in northwest Tanzania. The Initial Assessment evaluates a vertically integrated mining, processing and refining operation, commencing with a high-grade nickel sulfide underground mine and concentrator at the Kabanga site, followed five years later by a hydrometallurgical refinery at Kahama. The study covers the Main, MNB, Kima, North, and Tembo zones and is based on the December 2024 Mineral Resource Update (refer to Lifezone's December 5, 2024 news release). The Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary has been filed on Form 6-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and made available on EDGAR and the Company's investor relations website. Lifezone expects to complete the Kabanga Feasibility Study Technical Report Summary in July 2025, which will focus on the initial development phase of the underground mine and concentrator. Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary highlights: This Initial Assessment is preliminary in nature and the economic analysis includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have modifying factors applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves and there is no certainty that this economic assessment will be realized. 22-year mine plan with a 3.4 million tonnes per annum underground mining operation with total production of 67.9 million tonnes grading 1.93% nickel, 0.26% copper and 0.14% cobalt. 3.4 million tonnes per annum concentrator, producing high-grade nickel, copper, and cobalt concentrate containing a total of 1.15 million tonnes of nickel, 171,000 tonnes of copper and 87,000 tonnes of cobalt. Hydrometallurgical refinery production design capacity of up to 50,000 tonnes per annum of nickel contained in battery-grade sulfate, up to 7,000 tonnes per annum of London Metal Exchange Grade A 99.99% copper cathode and up to 4,000 tonnes per annum of cobalt in sulfate. Pre-production capital cost of $991 million, which includes a contingency of 16.1%, with total mine plan revenue from sales estimated at approximately $23.68 billion and after-tax free cash flow of $8.03 billion. After-tax net present value of $2.37 billion using an 8.0% discount rate and after-tax internal rate of return of 22.9%, based on flat metal prices of $8.49 per pound nickel, $4.30 per pound copper, and $18.31 per pound cobalt. Low all-in sustaining costs for refined nickel products averaging $2.71 per pound, net of copper and cobalt by-product credits. Mr. Showalter commented: 'The Kabanga Nickel Project represents a rare opportunity to develop a large-scale, high-grade nickel Mineral Resource with robust economics and a clear staged development path to production. The Initial Assessment highlights the project's potential to deliver positive returns over a long life, supported by a low-cost operating profile, with approximately 80% of the project's value attributed to the Kabanga mine and concentrator. Our partnership with the Government of Tanzania has been instrumental in advancing the project, and Lifezone remains aligned in our commitment to responsible development and long-term value creation. With the Feasibility Study on track for completion in July, we are very well-positioned to advance the project.' Mr. Mouton added: 'Today marks a significant and historic milestone in the nearly five-decade journey of the Kabanga Nickel Project. For the first time, Lifezone has successfully completed and publicly disclosed a technical-economic Initial Assessment in accordance with U.S. SEC Regulation S-K 1300. This landmark disclosure confirms the reasonable prospects for economic extraction and affirms the project's robust foundation. The Initial Assessment underscores the technical integrity and scalability of Kabanga. Through disciplined engineering and extensive analysis, the Lifezone team has systematically de-risked the development of the underground mine and concentrator. The adopted staged development approach provides a high level of confidence in our ability to deliver a project that is both economically resilient and operationally robust. We remain focused on maintaining this momentum and look forward to the planned completion and release of the Feasibility Study in July 2025.'

Figure 1: Kabanga Nickel Project location in Tanzania. Figure 2: Overview of the Kabanga site camp. Kabanga Nickel Project Initial Assessment overview The Initial Assessment outlines a vertically integrated development plan for the Kabanga Nickel Project, proposing a 3.4 million tonnes per annum underground mining operation processing a total of 67.9 million tonnes of mill feed. The average feed grade is 1.93% nickel, 0.26% copper and 0.14% cobalt, sourced from the Main, MNB, Kima, North and Tembo zones. This supports an estimated 22‑year mine plan. Nickel, copper and cobalt recoveries are expected to average 87.3%, 95.7% and 89.6%, respectively, through conventional froth flotation. The resulting 17.3% nickel-rich concentrate, containing low levels of deleterious elements, will be exported during the first five years of operation and prior to the commissioning of the Kahama hydrometallurgical refinery. The refinery has a designed production capacity of 50,000 tonnes per annum of nickel as battery-grade nickel sulfate, 7,000 tonnes per annum of London Metal Exchange Grade A 99.99% copper cathode and 4,000 tonnes per annum of cobalt as cobalt sulfate. The Initial Assessment contemplates pre-production capital expenditures of $991 million, which includes a contingency of 16.1%, capitalized operating expenses of $152 million and $751 million in growth capital – primarily for the refinery. Sustaining capital, including closure costs, is estimated at $1.56 billion. A 2.5-year construction period is planned for the mine and concentrator. The project economics made use of long-term consensus metal prices. With the metal price assumptions of $8.49 per pound of nickel, $4.30 per pound of copper and $18.31 per pound of cobalt, the Initial Assessment estimates an after-tax net present value (8%) of $2.4 billion and an after-tax internal rate of return of 22.9%.

This table reports the Mineral Resources for the combined massive sulfide and ultramafic mineralization types. 2. There are no Mineral Reserves to report as at date of this Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary. 3. Mineral Resources are reported showing only the Lifezone-attributable tonnage portion, which is 69.713% of the total. 4. Cut-off applies to NiEq24, which is derived using a nickel price of USD9.50/lb, copper price of USD4.50/lb, and cobalt price of USD23.00/lb with allowances for recoveries, payability, deductions, transport, and royalties. 5. NiEq24 formulae are: MSSX NiEq24 = Ni + (Cu x 0.454) + (Co x 2.497); UMAF NiEq24 = Ni + (Cu x 0.547) + (Co x 2.480). 6. The point of reference for Mineral Resources is the point of feed into a concentrator. 7. All Mineral Resources in the 2024 Mineral Resource Update were assessed for reasonable prospects for economic extraction by reporting only material above cut-off grades of: MSSX NiEq24>0.73% and UMAF NiEq24>0.77%. 8. Totals may vary due to rounding. Expand The Initial Assessment is based on the December 2024 Mineral Resource Update, which includes 46.8 million tonnes of attributable Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources grading 2.09% nickel, 0.29% copper and 0.16% cobalt, and 11.3 million tonnes of attributable Inferred Mineral Resources grading 2.08% nickel, 0.28% copper and 0.15% cobalt. The Kabanga Nickel Project is 69.713% owned by Lifezone, and all Mineral Resources are shown on an attributable to Lifezone basis. For a discussion of Lifezone's Framework Agreement with the Government of Tanzania relating to the Kabanga Nickel Project, including equitable sharing of the economic benefits, see Item 10 C of the Lifezone's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 on the Company's website or The Initial Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes economic analyses that incorporate Inferred Mineral Resources, which are considered too speculative geologically to be classified as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the Initial Assessment will be realized. For a scenario excluding Inferred Mineral Resources, the Initial Assessment estimates an after-tax net present value (8.0%) of $2.02 billion and an after-tax internal rate of return of 23.0%, reflecting a slightly higher average feed grade but lower total tonnage. The capital cost, operating cost and sustaining capital cost estimates were prepared for the project as part of the Initial Assessment. The estimates are classified as being at an Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering Class 5 level, with an accuracy range of ±50%, consistent with early-stage evaluation standards under Regulation S-K 1300. These estimates support the economic analysis undertaken for the Initial Assessment and demonstrate the reasonable prospects for economic extraction of the reported Mineral Resources. Figure 3: Production schedule with Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. The Initial Assessment also outlines a sustainable tailings management strategy in line with Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management and Australian National Committee on Large Dams best practices. Approximately 52% of non-pyrrhotite tailings will be returned underground as paste aggregate fill, blended at 55% tailings and 45% waste rock with cement. The remaining pyrrhotite tailings will be stored in a fully lined downstream constructed tailings storage facility with a leakage collection system and subaqueous deposition to mitigate oxidation risks. The tailing storage facility is designed to accommodate up to 50 million tonnes and withstand a 1:10,000-year storm event. Closure plans include a water-shedding landform and multi-layer cover system. The design has been reviewed by an Independent Tailings Review Board, Government of Tanzania regulators and other industry experts. Robust Initial Assessment economics for a globally significant source of nickel, copper and cobalt A preliminary mine design, accessing Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources as well as Inferred Mineral Resources, outlines a 22-year mine plan for the project, with total underground production of 67.9 million tonnes grading 1.93% nickel, 0.26% copper and 0.14% cobalt. During the first five years of operation, the project will export a high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt concentrate while the hydrometallurgical refinery at Kahama is being developed. Once operational, the refinery will promote in-country beneficiation by producing battery-grade nickel and cobalt sulfate products and London Metal Exchange-grade copper cathode, in line with the Government of Tanzania's expectations. Total operating costs are projected to average approximately $90 per tonne processed, inclusive of mining, processing, refining, general and administrative, and logistics. AISC for refined nickel is estimated to average $2.71 per pound, net of copper and cobalt by-product credits. Pre-production capital expenditures are estimated at $991 million, with a 16.1% contingency, covering underground mine development, concentrator construction, tailings storage facility, and supporting infrastructure. Capitalized operating costs are expected to total $152 million. Growth capital of $751 million is primarily allocated to the construction of the Kahama refinery. Sustaining capital over the mine plan is projected at $1.56 billion, including closure costs. Figure 4: Estimated project cash flows. The project economics made use of long-term consensus metal prices. Metal price assumptions, of $8.49 per pound of nickel, $4.30 per pound of copper, and $18.31 per pound of cobalt, were used in the Initial Assessment to estimate total project revenue of $23.68 billion. The project is expected to generate $8.03 billion of after-tax undiscounted free cash flow, with an after-tax net present value (8.0%) of $2.37 billion and an after-tax internal rate of return of 22.9%. The Initial Assessment also demonstrates strong downside resilience to nickel price fluctuation. Applying a sensitivity analysis at $7.00 per pound nickel price, the project maintains an after-tax net present value of $1.48 billion and an after-tax internal rate of return of 17.9%. This economic robustness is underpinned by the project's high-grade Mineral Resource, valuable copper and cobalt by-products, low all-in sustaining costs and high capital efficiency. Figure 5: Sensitivity analysis of after-tax net present value (8%). Phased underground mine development enhances capital efficiency and operational readiness The Initial Assessment outlines a phased underground mine development strategy at Kabanga, designed to optimize capital efficiency and support an achievable production ramp-up. The mine will be accessed via declines from two boxcuts at the North and Tembo zones. Kima zone will share access from the North decline, while the Main and MNB zones are accessed via the North Mine. The underground operation will ramp up to a steady state rate of 3.4 million tonnes per annum which will feed the concentrator. Figure 6: Proposed mine design. Mining will be conducted using longhole stoping with paste backfill, with level spacing of 25 meters and stope strike lengths ranging from 20 to 30 meters. The mining sequence prioritizes the high-grade portions of the North zone. The North and Kima zones are expected to supply approximately 65% of the total mineralized material, followed by Tembo (25%) and Main and MNB (10%). The mine design incorporates detailed geotechnical modeling, ventilation planning, and a robust backfill system to ensure safe and efficient operations. The development schedule includes a 2.5-year construction period followed by a 2.5-year ramp-up phase, during which critical infrastructure such as ventilation raises, pumping systems, and underground services will be established. The first five years of mining will be executed by a contract mining firm selected through a competitive tender process, ensuring experienced execution and cost control during the early stages of operation. Figure 7: Proposed mine design sequence (in years). Further Exploration Targets offer significant upside potential The Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary also discloses an overall Exploration Target of 17.5 to 23.5 million tonnes grading 1.9% to 2.1% nickel equivalent from four high-priority Exploration Targets within the Special Mining Licence, offering the potential to extend the mine plan and potentially enhance project value. These Exploration Targets, located at Safari Link, Safari Extension, Rubona Hill, and Block 1 South, are based on geophysical anomalies, historical drilling and geological continuity with known mineralized zones. The ranges of potential tonnage and grade of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource for these target areas. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. Table 3: Exploration Target summary. Lifezone has allocated a portion of the growth capital expenditures to support drilling and geophysical surveys across these targets, with the aim of delineating additional resources and supporting potential future expansions. Figure 8: Location of Safari Link and Safari Extension exploration targets with airborne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic background and interpreted major faults. Efficient sulfide concentrate production with high recoveries at the Kabanga concentrator The Initial Assessment outlines a conventional concentrator facility at Kabanga, designed to process 3.4 million tonnes per annum and produce a high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt concentrate. The flowsheet, comprising crushing, wet grinding, flotation and dewatering, has been developed through extensive metallurgical testwork to suit the deposit's mineralogy, including massive sulfide, semi-massive sulfide and ultramafic-hosted zones. The concentrator is expected to achieve average metallurgical recoveries of 87.3% for nickel, 95.7% for copper and 89.7% for cobalt. The resulting concentrate, grading approximately 17.3% nickel, 2.6% copper and 1.3% cobalt, is low in deleterious elements and well-suited for downstream refining. The high-grade, low-impurity nature of Kabanga's concentrate has received strong interest from potential offtake partners for both nickel concentrate and refined battery-grade products. Indicative, non-binding terms have been obtained for 100% of the concentrate produced during the first five years of operations, prior to the commissioning of the Kahama refinery. Lifezone is also exploring strategic partnerships to support long-term marketing of nickel and cobalt sulfates into the electric vehicle markets. High recoveries of battery-grade metals enabled by hydrometallurgical refining at Kahama The Initial Assessment includes the Kahama refinery as a cornerstone of Lifezone's vertically integrated strategy, employing a hydrometallurgical process to produce battery-grade nickel and cobalt sulfate products and London Metal Exchange Grade A 99.99% copper cathode. In the Initial Assessment, a refinery demonstration plant will be constructed and operated at the Kahama site once nickel concentrate is available from Kabanga, but prior to the full-scale refinery construction and operation. This will be undertaken to optimize and finalize the hydrometallurgical flowsheet and further de-risk the refinery. Designed to process concentrate from the Kabanga mine, the refinery is expected to achieve average metal recoveries from concentrate of 97.2% for nickel, 93.0% for copper and 97.7% for cobalt. The flowsheet incorporates pressure oxidation, neutralization, solvent extraction, electrowinning and crystallization, enabling the designed production of approximately 50,000 tonnes per annum of nickel as nickel sulfate, 7,000 tonnes of copper cathode and 4,000 tonnes of cobalt as cobalt sulfate. All products are expected to meet stringent purity standards for use in electric vehicle batteries. Figure 9: Allocated refinery site at Kahama. Strategically located within Tanzania's Buzwagi Special Economic Zone, the Kahama refinery benefits from existing bulk infrastructure and supports the country's industrialization goals. By refining metals in-country with hydrometallurgy, the project is expected to have a reduced carbon dioxide emissions footprint compared to traditional smelting and overseas processing and enhances supply chain transparency. Integrated logistics network strengthened by national infrastructure upgrades The Kabanga Nickel Project is supported by a logistics network that connects the Kabanga mine site to the Kahama refinery and international export markets. Nickel-copper-cobalt concentrate will be transported approximately 348 kilometers by road from Kabanga to the Isaka Dry Port (rail terminal), using third-party haulage and sealed Flexible Bulk Containers. From Isaka, the concentrate will be transferred onto the Standard Gauge Railway, which is expected to be operational in 2026, for shipment to the Kwala Dry Port and then via dedicated 'Port Link' to the Port of Dar es Salaam, into bulk sea freight vessels. Once the Kahama Refinery begins operations, concentrate will be trucked approximately 320 kilometers by road from Kabanga to the refinery. The refined products, nickel sulfate, copper cathode and cobalt sulfate, will then be transported approximately 30 kilometers by road to Isaka Dry Port, loaded onto the Standard Gauge Railway, and transported via the same route to the Port of Dar es Salaam for export. Recent national infrastructure investments, including the Standard Gauge Railway, expanded port capacity at Dar es Salaam and the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project, are expected to enhance the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of the project's logistics operations. Figure 10: Standard Gauge Railway locomotives in operation. Strong ESG credentials aligned with global best practices The Kabanga Nickel Project is committed to aligning with both Tanzanian regulatory requirements and internationally recognized ESG standards. The project operates within the legal framework of Tanzania, complying with national laws related to environmental protection, social impact management, land access, resettlement, and permitting. The Project also seeks alignment with leading international ESG frameworks. These include the International Finance Corporation Performance Standards, Equator Principles, Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management and guidelines issued by the and Australian National Committee on Large Dams and International Council on Mining and Metals, ensuring the adoption of sustainable and responsible mining practices. Comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessments have been completed and approved by Tanzania's National Environment Management Council for the mine, refinery and resettlement sites. A Resettlement Action Plan, aligned with International Finance Corporation Performance Standard 5, ensures fair and sustainable relocation for affected communities, with 96% of the required cash compensation already paid, allowing access to the Project footprint as required. Catalyzing economic growth and industrial development in Tanzania The Kabanga Nickel Project is poised to deliver long-term economic benefits to Tanzania through job creation, infrastructure development, and domestic value addition. By integrating mining and refining operations within the country, the project directly supports the government's vision for local beneficiation and industrialization. The Framework Agreement with the Government of Tanzania for development of the Kabanga Nickel Project ensures that the economic value generated by the project is equitably shared with the Government of Tanzania, contributing to national development goals and community upliftment. Construction and operations are expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, stimulate local supply chains, and build technical capacity in mining and metallurgy. The Kahama Refinery, located in the Buzwagi Special Economic Zone, will position Tanzania as a regional hub for battery metals processing. This strategic investment is expected to attract further capital and reinforce Tanzania's role in the global clean energy transition. Next steps and strategic recommendations As one of the world's largest undeveloped high-grade nickel sulfide deposits, the Kabanga Nickel Project is uniquely positioned to support the global energy transition. With its integrated mine-to-refinery model and strong partnership with the Government of Tanzania, Kabanga offers a scalable, long-life supply of nickel, copper and cobalt. With the Initial Assessment complete, the project will advance to the completion of a Feasibility Study for the underground mine and concentrator, supported by a Mineral Reserve Statement. The target for completion of the Feasibility Study is July 2025. To support the Kabanga project development, Lifezone is pursuing a diversified funding strategy that includes a mix of equity, strategic partnerships, and project-level debt. Discussions are ongoing with development finance institutions, commercial lenders, and potential strategic investors. The project's attractive economics, low operating costs and alignment with global critical minerals priorities position Kabanga as a compelling candidate for sustainable financing. Lifezone expects to finalize the funding package following completion of the Feasibility Study.

These reports will mark the fourth and fifth Kabanga technical reports issued under current Lifezone management, following three previous resource updates. Notably, the upcoming Feasibility Study will include the project's first public declaration of Mineral Reserves. Following the release of the new staging plan for the Kabanga Nickel Project (see Lifezone's April 1, 2025 news release), Lifezone's reporting strategy reflects the natural sequencing of technical studies and allows for timely disclosure of key project economics while finalizing the higher-standard Feasibility Study Technical Report Summary. The Initial Assessment will present a complete view of the full scope of the Kabanga Project, including the planned hydrometallurgical refinery at Kahama to promote local beneficiation. While the Feasibility Study will provide a detailed analysis of the initial stage of development – a 3.4 million tonnes per annum underground mine and concentrator at Kabanga, and will be based on a life-of-mine plan for the entire Reserve. Mr. Showalter commented: "This is a major milestone for Lifezone and for Tanzania. After years of work and over $120 million invested, we are proud to present the first of two technical studies that demonstrate the world-class potential of Kabanga. With permitting in place and project execution readiness advancing, we are excited to share our vision for a cleaner, more responsible source of critical metals. Our strong partnership with Tanzania continues to be a cornerstone of our success." Mr. Mouton added: "The Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary is the culmination of months of rigorous work and collaboration. Kabanga is a truly world-class nickel deposit, and this study reflects the depth of our understanding of mineralization, the strength of our mining and processing strategy, and the quality of our team." Sequential technical reporting strategy The Initial Assessment will outline a staged approach beginning with the 3.4 million tonnes per annum underground mine and concentrator. The construction of the commercial-scale hydrometallurgical refinery at Kahama is deferred to approximately five years after initial concentrate production, allowing for a more efficient allocation of capital and resources. The Feasibility Study will support the conversion of Measured and Indicated Resources into Proven and Probable Reserves and will assess the technical and economic feasibility of the Kabanga underground mine and concentrator only. The release date of the Feasibility Study Technical Report Summary and details for the webinar will be announced prior to its release. Both reports will be prepared in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K 1300. TUESDAY, JUNE 3: Webcast with Lifezone's management team at 10:00 AM ET The company invites shareholders, investors, and members of the media to a virtual presentation and discussion of the key highlights of the Kabanga Initial Assessment.

GoldMining Updates NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Rea Uranium Project; A Large, Drill Permitted Claim Package in the Western Athabasca Basin, Canada
The Rea Project is owned 75% by the Company and 25% by Orano Canada Inc. (" Orano") (for location see Figure 1). The Company's proposed metallic minerals exploration application for the Project has been reviewed by the Alberta Energy Regulator and authorized as an approved exploration program (see May 1, 2025 news release). The large land package of approximately 125,328 hectares surrounds Oranoꞌs high-grade Dragon Lake prospect at its Maybelle River project. Recently discovered uranium deposits located 60 km to the southeast of the Rea Project include Paladin Energy Limited's (" Paladin") Triple R deposit and NexGen Energy Inc.'s (" NexGen") Arrow deposit, which are currently in development. The qualified person has been unable to verify the adjacent-property information, and therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization that is the subject of the Technical Report. Highlights: The Rea Uranium Project was acquired by GoldMining as part of its acquisition of Brazilian gold properties in 2013. The Company plans to continue to advance the Project given the increasing importance of uranium in the energy sector. Uranium is expected to play a lead role in the growing demand for cleaner energy sources of electricity. The Athabasca Basin is home to some of the world's richest uranium mines and highest-grade uranium deposits and is currently estimated to contribute approximately 15% of the annual world-wide uranium production. The Rea Project surrounds Orano's Maybelle River project that hosts shallow (<200 metres below surface) uranium mineralization at the Dragon Lake deposit. The geological structure hosting Dragon Lake (the Maybelle River Corridor – see Figure 2) is projected to extend over an additional 11 kilometres of strike across the northern Rea Project. Apart from the adjacent Maybelle River project, the western Alberta portion of the basin has, by comparison, had minimal exploration to date. The Project is in a relatively underexplored area that has seen renewed exploration activity as a result of recent near surface, basement hosted, high-grade uranium discoveries by NexGen and Paladin in the nearby Patterson Lake area (see Figure 1). GoldMining has identified 70 kilometres of prospective trends in three distinct corridors for future exploration: Maybelle River, Net Lake, and Keane Lake. The Company's proposed uranium exploration program at the Rea Project has been approved to proceed by the Alberta Energy Regulator. Alastair Still, CEO of the Company, stated: "We are pleased to announce the updated Technical Report for our prospective Rea Uranium Project which is another important step to advancing to exploration at the Project and is consistent with our broader strategy of seeking to unlock further value for our shareholders across our asset portfolio. As the importance of uranium grows as a fuel for increasing clean energy demands, we continue to work with local stakeholders to develop a sustainable phased approach to exploration and we remain excited about the potential to daylight value from this asset for our shareholders." Rea Uranium Project The Project is located on the western edge of the Athabasca Basin in northeastern Alberta, about 45 kilometres west-southwest of Cluff Lake and approximately 185 kilometres north-northwest of Fort McMurray. The Rea Project consists of 16 Alberta Rock-Hosted Mineral Permits (permits), totaling 125,328 hectares. Access to the Rea Project is by helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft year-round or winter road that connects Fort McKay with Fort Chipewyan from January to March of each year depending on winter conditions. There are some access roads on the Project that can be used for all-terrain vehicles. The largest nearby town of Fort McMurray services mineral exploration and mining in the district. The rocks underlying the western part of the Athabasca Basin comprise complexly deformed and strongly metamorphosed Archean to Paleoproterozoic crystalline basement rocks of the Lloyd Domain (Careen Lake Group) of the Rae geological province. The basement rocks comprise a dominantly supracrustal package of psammo-pelitic gneiss, psammitic gneiss, pelitic gneiss, and garnet diatexite with subordinate metaquartzite, amphibolite, and ultramafic rock that are currently assigned to the Careen Lake Group. The supracrustral rocks were later intruded by significant amounts of granodiorite, quartz diorite, monzodiorite, and minor gabbro that, collectively, are termed the 'quartz diorite suite'. In 2005, the Rea Project land package surrounding the Maybelle River project was acquired by BGC, which was subsequently acquired by GoldMining in 2013. With respect to mineralization, several targeted corridors for future exploration have been delineated by GoldMining based on historical geophysical conductors, surficial geochemical anomalies, and drillholes that encountered subsurface zones with uranium. In the southwest part of the Rea Project, the Net Lake corridor comprises a prospective sandstone unit within which historic drilling yielded uranium concentrations of up to 48 ppm total uranium ("U"), as well as trace amounts of graphite in the basement rock. In the north portion of the Project historic drilling along the extension of the Maybelle River corridor yielded 87 ppm total U over 1 metre. Additionally, drill core along the Maybelle River corridor intersected clay alteration, breccia zones and dravite, which represent features associated with unconformity uranium deposits elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin. GoldMining commissioned Fathom Geophysics to reprocess and interpret historical airborne geophysical data. As a result of the work, over 70 kilometres of prospective trends were identified in three distinct corridors for future exploration: Maybelle River, Net Lake, and Keane Lake. These corridors exhibit geophysical signatures that are interpreted as graphite-bearing shear zones with potential to host unconformity-style uranium mineralization (see Figure 2). For further information on the Rea Project please refer to the Technical Report, a copy of which is available under the Company's profile at Qualified Persons The Technical Report was prepared by Roy Eccles, P. Geol., of APEX Geoscience Ltd., who is independent of GoldMining, the Rea Project, and is a qualified person as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (" NI 43-101").
