**Metallurgical Test Work Improves Gold Recovery to 85% (+22%) for the Whistler Gold-Copper Project, Alaska**

**Anchorage, Alaska – September 22, 2025 –** U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ: USGO) ("**U.S. GoldMining**" or the "**Company**") is pleased to announce updated results from the metallurgical test work program (the "**Program**") which commenced earlier this year (see news release dated April 24, 2025) for the Whistler Gold-Copper Project ("**Whistler**" or the "**Project**"), located 105 miles northwest of Anchorage, Alaska.

**Highlights:**

● Recovery
 of up to 85.3% gold (Au), 79.1% copper (Cu) and 55.3% silver (Ag) from the combined sulphide
 flotation and leaching test work using a master composite derived from Whistler Deposit drill
 core that is representative of the average metal grade within the Project's mineral
 resource estimate ()"**MRE** ").

○ Sulphide flotation locked cycle tests ()"**LCT**") produced a copper concentrate grading 23.7% Cu with a 0.6% mass pull at a P<sub>80</sub> grind size of 120µm (rougher circuit) and a regrind of 16µm (cleaner circuit). The initial concentrate metal recoveries include 54.1% Au, 79.1% Cu and 55.3% Ag.

○ Leach testing of the rougher sulphide flotation circuit tails recovered an additional 31.2% Au, for the combined overall recovery of 85.3% Au.

● A
 total of 28 flotation tests were completed together with four leach tests on a combination
 of master composites and variability samples that were conducted by Base Metallurgical Laboratories
 Ltd., of Kamloops, B.C., Canada.

● The
 Program results provide key metallurgical recovery and process flowsheet inputs to the initial
 economic assessment (the "**PEA** ").

**Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented:** "The Company is delighted with the 2025 metallurgical test work results which have confirmed that high gold recoveries in excess of 85% may be achievable at the Project. Previous metallurgical test work only included sulphide flotation, resulting in gold recovery of approximately 70%. However, the combination of a conventional flotation and a sequential leach process has been key to improving gold metallurgical recovery at the Whistler Deposit, with gold recoveries achieving 85.3% overall, an increase of 22% over previous test work. The process flowsheet used in these tests employs proven and demonstrated technology to produce a marketable copper concentrate, as well as direct production of gold doré through leaching. This simple but effective process flowsheet will be a key component of the on-going PEA (see news release dated June 9, 2025)."

**2025 Metallurgical Program Details**

*Sample Selection and Preparation*

 

The 2025 metallurgical test program had the objective of achieving optimized metal recovery results from a set of Whistler Deposit drill core samples. To this end, sampling was completed on fresh 2023 and 2024 drill core comprising seven quarter core composites assembled from four drill holes (WH23-01, WH23-02, WH23-03 and WH24-02). These composites were further homogenized down to a single Master Composite that was selected to represent the global average resource grade from the 2024 MRE (see news release dated October 7, 2024).

*Crushing and Grinding Testwork*

 

Comminution tests were completed on the master composite material resulting in being classified as 'Hard' to 'Very Hard'. From preliminary test work, a primary grind size of 120 µm was selected with a secondary grind (regrind) size of 16 µm to yield the optimal recoveries.

![](ex99-1_001.jpg)

*Flotation Testwork*

 

A series of rougher flotation tests were completed, followed by cleaner flotation tests, which set the design criteria for a final series of locked cycle tests. The final test circuit (LCT28) consisted of the rougher concentrate reporting to a copper cleaner circuit to produce a copper concentrate of 23.7% Cu from a 0.6% mass pull with copper, gold and silver recoveries of 79.1%, 54.1% and 55.3%, respectively.

**Table 1 Results of sulphide flotation test work to produce a saleable copper concentrate. Test ID LCT28 produced final optimized recoveries of 79.1% Cu, 54.1% Au and 55.3% Ag, from a concentrate containing 23.7% Cu and 35.0 g/t Au.**

Seven variability tests were performed to determine variability across rock types in both the rougher and cleaner circuits. All tests were completed in an open circuit configuration with sequential rougher flotation, regrind of the rougher concentrate and three sequential cleaning circuits to produce a final concentrate product. Results from all tests were favorably comparable with no significant outliers. Observed metal recoveries from sulphide flotation were as high as 74.5 % Au and 83.7% Cu. Future additional variability test work will be required to obtain a comprehensive representative suite of composites across the Whistler Deposit and to further study the metal grade, mineralogy and life-of-mine variability. Additional opportunities exist for further optimization via variability locked cycle tests.

*Gold Leaching Testwork*

 

Pyrite rougher tails from the locked cycle tests were subsequently subjected to cyanidation (NaCN) leach testing, with a final extraction of 88.7% Au from the 35.2% contained in the pyrite rougher tails, with modest reagent consumption of 0.48 kg/t NaCN and 1.28 kg/t lime. The total gold recovery via cyanide leaching therefore was 31.2% (i.e. 88.7% of 35.2%).

Combining gold recovery from both the copper concentrate and from leaching thus provides a final gold recovery of 85.3% Au. Future upside could be possible by eliminating the pyrite rougher circuit and passing all copper rougher tails directly to leach, which may yield a small increase to gold recovery. **Figure 1** illustrates the draft process flowsheet envisaged by the metallurgical test work. The Company notes that the metallurgical process flowsheet has not yet been finalized and that metallurgical recoveries demonstrated during this test work may be different from those used in the PEA which is on-going (as announced on June 9, 2025).
