U.S. GoldMining Inc. completed a 2026 surface exploration program at its 100% owned Whistler Gold-Copper Project in Alaska, following 7,493 meters of diamond drilling across 10 Whistler Orbit targets. Geological mapping, prospecting and sampling identified new gold-copper porphyry-style mineralization, extended anomalies and refined potential drill targets across the Whistler Orbit, Island Mountain and Muddy Creek systems. The company submitted 58 rock grab samples for gold, copper and multi-element assays, while also collecting 12 geochronological samples and 68 samples for hyperspectral analysis at Long Lake Hills. Whistler’s existing mineral resource comprises 5.41 million ounces of indicated AuEq resources and 4.97 million ounces of inferred AuEq resources. Assay results are pending, and the company says the data will guide future exploration and drilling aimed at identifying additional gold and copper resources.
