U.S. GoldMining Applauds U.S. Presidential Executive Order Recognizing Copper & Gold as 'Critical Minerals' - Strong Economic and Policy Tailwinds will benefit Whistler Gold-Copper Project, Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ:USGO) ("U.S. GoldMining" or the "Company") welcomes the signing of an Executive Order by President Donald Trump titled "Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production". The Executive Order directs government agencies to immediate action to facilitate domestic mineral production to the maximum extent possible, including copper and gold. This decision underscores the essential role these metals play in energy security, defense, and economic stability, while further highlighting the strategic importance of domestic mining projects such as the Company's Whistler Gold-Copper Project in Alaska.

This follows an earlier Executive Order signed January 20, 2025, titled "Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential", which, as the Company reported on January 27, 2025, is designed to boost the mining industry by maximizing the development of natural resources located on Federal and State lands in Alaska and expediting the permitting of Alaskan natural resource projects.

Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "This new Executive Order is a significant step forward in securing a reliable domestic supply chain for copper, gold and other essential resources. Our Whistler Project has estimated Indicated Resources of over 1 billion pounds of copper and almost 4 million ounces of gold plus estimated Inferred Resources of 0.3 billion pounds of copper and 3.3 million ounces of gold*, positioning it as a potentially valuable asset in strengthening the nation's mineral independence.

The Company believes that this policy shift provides increasing tailwinds for responsible resource development in Alaska and across the U.S. and comes at a time when the three metals which are contained within the Whistler mineral resource estimate - gold, copper and silver - are at record high commodity prices. This Executive Order aligns directly with our vision to develop responsible, world-class mining operations that contribute to America's energy and resource security needs," added Tim Smith. "As we advance our Whistler Project, we look forward to working with federal and state agencies to seek to capitalize on this momentum and further contribute to the strengthening of domestic supply chains."
