VANCOUVER, BC, June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD) (OTCQX: GLDLF) is pleased to announce today the creation of Gold Royalty Corp. ("GRC"), a newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary, that will hold 14 newly created net smelter return ("NSR") royalties on its extensive gold-focused asset portfolio in the Americas.

Amir Adnani, Chairman, commented: "Following a decade-long effort since forming the Company to assemble an extensive portfolio of gold projects in mining friendly jurisdictions in North and South America, we believe that the timing is right to create this royalty entity, which imparts an additional, and non-dilutive layer, of value to existing shareholders. Over the long-term, we intend to explore potential value-enhancing transactions for Gold Royalty Corp., including a potential spin-off, initial public offering, sale, merger or other transactions that may increase shareholder value."

Garnet Dawson, CEO, commented: "GoldMining's focus remains on our two-pronged strategy of expanding our property portfolio through accretive transactions of resource stage gold projects and their advancement towards development. We believe Gold Royalty Corp. will be a complementary platform to GoldMining's future acquisition and development plans."

GRC's royalty portfolio is expected to comprise of 0.5% to 2.0% NSR royalties on the Company's interest in 14 existing projects with the opportunity to expand the royalty portfolio through the Company's buy-back rights on existing NSR royalties ranging from 0.5% to 2% held by third-parties on up to 5 of the 14 projects (Table 1).

Table 2 Notes:

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant issues.
The above aggregated resource table is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent the viability of any project on a standalone or aggregated basis. The exploration and development of each project, project geology and the assumptions and other factors underlying each estimate, are not uniform and will vary from project to project. Please refer to the technical report for each respective project, as referenced herein, for detailed information respecting each individual project.
All quantities are rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures; consequently, sums may not add up due to rounding.
