U.S. GoldMining Inc. is pleased to provide an update with respect to discussions with representatives from the State of Alaska and Matanuska-Susitna Borough ("MSB") regarding plans to advance the West Susitna Access Project ("WSAP"). The Company is very pleased to report, based on discussions to date, continued strong support at all levels of government for the Whistler Gold-Copper Project ("Whistler" or the "Project") and that all critical elements of the WSAP, which will connect Whistler with existing highway, rail, power and port infrastructure, are moving forwards expeditiously with respect to design, environmental baseline studies, stakeholder engagement and permitting. 

U.S. GoldMining's President and Chief Executive Officer, Tim Smith, was invited to meet with Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy on August 7, 2025, and with the Executive Director of the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority ("AIDEA") and the Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities ("ADOT&PF"), along with additional industry leaders representing resource development companies which are also advancing projects in the West Susitna Mineral District.

The meeting included an update for industry representatives by AIDEA, which recently submitted a permit application for its 78.5 miles of proposed public and industry road (see AIDEA's news release dated July 25, 2025) that will connect Whistler with existing transportation and energy infrastructure in the eastern MSB.

Mr. Smith also met with MSB Mayor, Edna DeVries, on August 6, 2025, to share updates on the Company's progress at Whistler and to hear about MSB's development plans at Port Mackenzie, located at the eastern terminus of the WSAP.

Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "We thank Governor Dunleavy and Mayor DeVries for their leadership in supporting plans to expedite the design, permitting and construction of the West Susitna Access Project. This transformative access initiative will directly connect Whistler with existing transportation and energy infrastructure within the greater Anchorage region of Southcentral Alaska; thus Whistler will be a direct beneficiary of the WSAP. As we advance our proposed initial economic assessment, which was previously announced on June 9, 2025, and mobilize teams into the field for the 2025 exploration program (see news release dated July 21, 2025), we remain committed to working collaboratively with all levels of government, regulatory agencies and other stakeholders in support of the WSAP and the long-term development of Whistler."
