Note 1: Business

U.S. GoldMining Inc. (formerly BRI Alaska Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Alaska as “BRI Alaska Corp.” on June 30, 2015. On September 8, 2022, the Company redomiciled from Alaska to Nevada and changed our name to “U.S. GoldMining Inc.”.

The Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of BRI Alaska Holdings Inc., a company organized under the laws of British Columbia (“BRI Alaska Holdings”), until September 23, 2022, which was at such time a wholly owned subsidiary of GoldMining Inc. (“GoldMining”), a mineral exploration and development company organized under the laws of Canada listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE American. On September 23, 2022, BRI Alaska Holdings was dissolved, and the Company became a direct majority owned subsidiary of GoldMining. On April 24, 2023, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and its common shares and common share purchase warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “USGO” and “USGOW”, respectively. After the IPO, GoldMining continued to own a controlling interest in the Company of 9,622,491 common shares and 122,490 common share purchase warrants, representing approximately 79.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company. As of August 31, 2023, GoldMining owned 79.7% of the Company.

The Company is a mineral exploration company with a focus on the exploration and development of a project located in Alaska, USA. Our registered office is 3773 Howard Hughes Pkwy #500s Las Vegas, NV 89169 and our principal executive office address is 1188 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4A2 and our head operating office address is 301 Calista Court, Suite 200, Office 203, Anchorage, Alaska, 99518.

Our primary asset is the 100%-owned Whistler exploration property (the “Whistler Project” or “Project”) located in Alaska, USA. Access to the Project area is by fixed wing aircraft to a gravel airstrip located adjacent to the Whistler Project exploration camp. We have not yet determined whether the Whistler Project contains mineral reserves where extraction is both technically feasible and commercially viable and have not determined whether the Project will be mined by open-pit or underground methods.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended November 30, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The balance sheet as of November 30, 2022 and comparative financial statements for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 have been prepared on a “carve-out” basis to include allocations of certain assets, liabilities and expenses related to services and support functions from GoldMining, which were allocated on a pro-rata basis considered by GoldMining to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to us for the quarters presented. Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the comparative financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. These comparative financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be attained if the Company had operated as a separate legal entity.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of U.S. GoldMining Inc. and US GoldMining Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company from its incorporation on October 27, 2022. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process.

Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the quarters presented. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, share-based compensation and allocation of expenses from GoldMining.

New significant accounting policies

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash that has been pledged for credit facilities which are not available for immediate disbursement.

Camp Structures

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Equipment is recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of Camp Structures is 10 years.

Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statements of operations as incurred.

Assets under construction

Assets under construction consists of expenditures incurred for the rehabilitation of existing Whistler Project camp facilities and the construction of additional facilities. Costs incurred during construction that are directly attributable to bringing an asset into working condition for its intended use are capitalized; costs that are not necessary in readying an asset for use are recognized as an expense as incurred. Assets under construction are transferred to other respective asset classes and are depreciated when they are completed and available for use.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. At contract inception, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If determined to be or contain a lease, the lease is assessed for classification as either an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date, defined as the date on which the leased asset is made available for use by the Company, based on the economic characteristics of the lease. For each lease with a term greater than twelve months, the Company records a right-of-use asset and lease liability. A right-of-use asset represents the economic benefit conveyed to the Company by the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. A lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company records amortization of operating right-of-use assets and accretion of lease liabilities as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date and calculated as the present value of the future lease payments in the contract using the rate implicit in the contract, when available. If an implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate measured as the rate at which the Company could borrow, on a fully collateralized basis, a commensurate loan in the same currency over a period consistent with the lease term at the commencement date. Right-of-use assets are measured as the lease liability plus initial direct costs and prepaid lease payments, less lease incentives granted by the lessor. The lease term is measured as the noncancelable period in the contract, adjusted for any options to extend or terminate when it is reasonably certain the Company will extend the lease term via such options based on an assessment of economic factors present as of the lease commencement date. The Company elected the practical expedient to not recognize leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. The Company assesses its right-of-use assets for impairment consistent with the assessment performed for long-lived assets used in operations. If an impairment is recognized on operating lease right-of-use assets, the lease liability continues to be recognized using the same effective interest method as before the impairment and the operating lease right-of-use asset is amortized over the remaining term of the lease on a straight-line basis. The Company’s operating leases are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as right-of-use assets, classified as noncurrent assets, and operating lease liabilities, classified as current and noncurrent liabilities based on the discounted lease payments to be made within the proceeding twelve months. Variable costs associated with a lease, such as maintenance and utilities, are not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets but rather are expensed when the events determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid have occurred.

Inventories

Inventories include materials and supplies, which are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Stock Options

The Company grants stock options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of stock options. The fair value of stock options granted to employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes, provides services that could be provided by a direct employee, or has authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, including non-executive directors. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of our Company, including its subsidiary, is the United States dollar. US GoldMining Canada Inc., the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, maintains their accounting records in their local currency, the Canadian dollar. In accordance with ASC 830: Foreign Currency Matters, the financial statements of our subsidiary are translated into United States dollars using period-end exchange rates as to monetary assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Non-monetary assets are translated at their historical exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations and foreign currency exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than our Company’s functional currency are included in the determination of net loss in the period.

Segment Information

We have determined that we operate and report in one segment, which focuses on the exploration and development of mineral properties. Our operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) who is identified as our Chief Executive Officer. All of our non-current assets are located in Alaska, USA.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 209-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Management has assessed and concluded there is no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 11: Capital Stock

11.1 Initial Public Offering

On April 19, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. and Sprott Capital Partners LP (collectively, the “Underwriters”) for an offering of 2,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, and each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire a common share at a price of $13.00 per share until April 24, 2026. On April 24, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company issued 2,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $20,000,000. In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred securities issuance costs of $970,194, of which $650,000 represented cash fees paid to the Underwriters.

GoldMining acquired 122,490 Units in the IPO for total consideration of $1,224,900.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Units were allocated to the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants on a relative fair value basis. Inputs used to calculate the relative fair value of the common shares and common share purchase warrants are based on the quoted closing prices of the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Closing Date of IPO. The allocation of the fair value of the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants is as follows:

Schedule of Allocation of Fair Value of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants

	($)
Fair value of common shares		18,208,955
Fair value of common share purchase warrants		1,791,045

Common share purchase warrants		1,704,162
Total Fair Value Allocated to Shares and Warrants		19,029,806

11.2 Common and Preferred Shares

On September 22, 2022, we filed a Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 2.714286-for-1 stock split of the shares of our common stock, either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock, effective as of such date (the “Stock Split”).

As a result of the Stock Split, every one share of issued and outstanding common stock was automatically split into 2.714286 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Stock Split. The Stock Split increased the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 3,500,000 shares to 9,500,001 shares. Additionally, we changed: (a) the Company’s common stock par value from nil to $0.001 and increased the authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 to 300,000,000; and (b) the Company’s preferred stock par value from nil to $0.001, and increased the authorized shares of preferred stock from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000.

On September 23, 2022, BRI Alaska Holdings transferred 100% of its shares in us to GoldMining and was dissolved.

On July 19, 2023, we issued 5,000 shares of common stock to a consultant in consideration for services under a consulting agreement.

As of August 31, 2023, there were 12,398,709 common shares issued and outstanding.

11.3 Restricted Shares

On September 23, 2022, the Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “Legacy Incentive Plan”). The Legacy Incentive Plan only provides for the grant of restricted stock awards. The purpose of the Legacy Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of the Company or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of the Company or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the grant of the restricted stock awards is 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the Company.

On September 23, 2022, we granted awards of an aggregate of 635,000 shares of performance based restricted shares (the “Restricted Shares”) of common stock under the Legacy Incentive Plan to certain of our and GoldMining’s executive officers, directors and consultants, the terms of which were amended on May 4, 2023.

The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met. In addition, if such conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by the holder thereof to us without the requirement of any further consideration. Assuming completion of the offering, these conditions are:

	(a)	with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if we have not completed equity financing(s) in an aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000 prior to or concurrently with the earlier of: (i) the date that is two years after the date of grant of such award; and (ii) the occurrence of a liquidation event, as such term is defined in the Legacy Incentive Plan, or any merger with or sale of our outstanding shares or all or substantially all of our assets to a third-party, referred to as an “Exit Transaction”, provided that, for greater certainty, the following shall not be considered an Exit Transaction: (A) any amalgamation, merger or consolidation of our business with or into a related entity; (B) a transaction undertaken solely for the purpose of changing our place of domicile or jurisdiction of incorporation; (C) an equity financing; and (D) completion of an initial public offering, spin-off from GoldMining or other going public transaction, referred to as an “IPO Event” (condition met);

	(b)	with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, an IPO Event has not occurred that values our business at a minimum of $100,000,000 prior to the date that is two years after the date of grant of such award (condition met);

	(c)	with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if the recipient of such award ceases to be our or our affiliates’ director, officer, employee or consultant, as applicable, at any time during the period from the date of grant of such award until the date that is two years after the date of grant;

	(d)	with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if we have not re-established the Whistler Project camp and performed of a minimum of 10,000 meters of drilling prior to the date that is three years after the date of grant of such award;

	(e)	with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if we have not achieved a share price of $15.00 prior to the date that is four years after the date of grant of such award (condition met);

	(f)	with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if we have not achieved a $250,000,000 market capitalization, based on the number of shares of our outstanding common stock multiplied by the volume-weighted average price for any applicable five (5) consecutive trading day period on the principal stock exchange on which our common stock is listed prior to the date that is five years after the date of grant of such award; or

(g)

with respect to 10% of the performance based restricted common stock, if we have not achieved a share price of $25.00 prior to the date that is six years after the date of grant of such award.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions referenced in both (f) and (g) above (regardless of whether they occur simultaneously or consecutively), all of the unvested Restricted Shares will be 100% vested and will be deemed Released Stock.

In the event the Company files the disclosure specified in Subpart 1300 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-K Report with the SEC or the disclosure specified in Canadian National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Products, to the relevant Canadian securities regulator (the “Securities Filing”) that includes, in either disclosure, an aggregate estimate of mineral resources for the Whistler Project or any other project owned or operated by the Company of 3,000,000 additional gold or gold equivalent ounces from the amount reported on the disclosure specified in the Company’s Subpart 1300 of the SEC Regulation S-K Report dated September 22, 2022, 190,500 shares of the Restricted Shares will be deemed Released Shares as of the date of such Securities Filing (or if such amount exceeds the number of shares of Restricted Shares that have not yet become Released Shares at the time, such lesser number of shares of Restricted Shares) reducing, on a proportional basis, the number of unvested shares of Restricted Shares subject to each vesting condition.

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $5,224 and $43,590, respectively, related to the Restricted Shares.

11.4 Share Purchase Warrants

A continuity schedule of our outstanding share purchase warrants for the nine months ended August 31, 2023, is as follows:

Schedule of Outstanding Share Purchase Warrants

	Number of Warrants			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance, November 30, 2022		-		$	-
Common share purchase warrants issued at the IPO		2,000,000			13.00
Exercised		(210,513	)		13.00
Balance, May 31, 2023		1,789,487			13.00
Exercised		(48,195	)		13.00
Balance, August 31, 2023		1,741,292		$	13.00

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, share purchase warrants were exercised for a total of $3,363,204. The number of common share purchase warrants outstanding as at August 31, 2023 was 1,741,292 warrants at an exercise price of $13.00 per share and with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.65 years.

11.5 Stock Options

On February 6, 2023, the Company adopted a long term incentive plan (“2023 Incentive Plan”). The purpose of the 2023 Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of the Company or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2023 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance awards, restricted stock awards and other cash and equity-based awards. The aggregate number of common shares issuable under the 2023 Incentive Plan in respect of awards shall not exceed 10% of the common shares issued and outstanding.

On May 4, 2023, the Company granted 82,500 stock options at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The stock options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date; and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are 6, 12 and 18 months thereafter. The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.47%, expected life of 3 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, estimated forfeiture rate of 0% and expected volatility of 61.34%. As there is limited trading history of the Company’s common shares prior to the date of grant, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility of a group of comparable companies in the sector the Company operates over a period similar to the expected life of the stock options. The grant-date fair value of stock options granted was $4.18 per share.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during this period:

Schedule of Stock Option Activity

	Number of Stock Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance, November 30, 2022		-	$	-
Granted		82,500		10.00
Balance, May 31, 2023 and August 31, 2023		82,500	$	10.00

As at August 31, 2023, the aggregate intrinsic value under the provisions of ASC 718 of all outstanding stock options was $nil. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of stock options totaled $155,763 to be recognized over the next 0.95 years.

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company recognized share-based compensation expenses of $78,886 and $189,114, respectively, for the stock options granted.

11.6 Lock-Up Agreements

In connection with the IPO, GoldMining and each of the Company’s directors and officers have entered into Lock-Up Agreements, pursuant to which GoldMining, the directors and officers of the Company agreed not to offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any common shares for a period of 180 days after April 19, 2023, subject to certain limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters. As of August 31, 2023, there are 182,100 common shares which are subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements.

Note 13: Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial assets at August 31, 2023 include cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and withholdings taxes payable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial liabilities approximates fair value due to their short term to maturity.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The financial risks arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk and currency risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support our ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how we mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily associated with our bank balances. We mitigate credit risk associated with its bank balances by holding cash with large, reputable financial institutions.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company closely monitors its liquidity position to ensure it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. We had working capital as at August 31, 2023 of $15,133,664. Our accounts payable, accrued liabilities and withholdings taxes payable are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.

Currency Risk

We report our financial statements in U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when it undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than our functional currency. Financial instruments that impact our net loss due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are denominated in Canadian dollars. The impact of a U.S. dollar change against Canadian dollars of 10% would have an impact of approximately $13,400 on net loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2023.

Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies

Payments Required to Maintain the Whistler Project

The Company is required to make annual land payments to the Department of Natural Resources of Alaska in the amount of $224,583 in 2023 and $230,605 thereafter, to keep the Whistler Project in good standing. Additionally, we have an annual labor requirement of $106,000 for 2023 and $135,200 thereafter, for which a cash-in-lieu payment equal to the value of the annual labor requirement may be made instead. The Company has excess labor carry forwards of $273,674 expiring in 2026, of which up to $106,000 can be applied each year to the Company’s annual labor requirements.

Future Commitments

On November 27, 2020, GoldMining agreed to cause us to issue a 1.0% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on our Whistler Project to Gold Royalty Corp. (“GRC”). The Company also assigned certain buyback rights relating to an existing third party royalty on the Project such that GRC has a right to acquire a 0.75% NSR (including an area of interest) on the Project for $5,000,000 pursuant to such buyback rights.

In August 2015, the Company acquired rights to the Whistler Project and associated equipment pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and among the Company, GoldMining, Kiska Metals Corporation (“Kiska”) and Geoinformatics Alaska Exploration Inc (“Geoinformatics”). Pursuant to such agreement, the Company assumed an obligation on the Whistler Project pursuant to a royalty purchase agreement between Kiska, Geoinformatics, and MF2, LLC (“MF2”), dated December 16, 2014. This agreement granted MF2 a 2.75% NSR royalty over the Project area, and, extending outside the current claims, over an area of interest defined by certain maximum historical extent of claims held on the Project.

In June 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Equity Geoscience, Ltd. for the management of an exploration program for the Whistler Project. The agreement includes an approved work order totaling $5,255,500, for the period of June 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024 which may be paused, postponed or terminated by either party with 30 days written notice. As at August 31, 2023, the Company has paid $3,406,170 towards the approved work order.

Note 15: Related Party Transactions

During the periods presented, we shared personnel, including key management personnel, office space, equipment, and various administrative services with other companies, including GoldMining. Costs incurred by GoldMining were allocated between its related subsidiaries based on an estimate of time incurred and use of services and are charged at cost. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, the allocated costs from GoldMining to the Company were $7,583 and $84,611, respectively ($21,323 and $67,853 for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively). Out of the allocated costs, $2,709 and $49,177 for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, respectively, were noncash share-based compensation costs ($4,783 and $26,611 for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively). The allocated costs from GoldMining were treated as a capital contribution, as there is no obligation or intent regarding the repayment of such amounts by the Company.

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, the amounts advanced to us and paid on our behalf by GoldMining totaled $nil and $1,003,142, respectively ($349,960 and $640,367 for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively). In May 2023, the Company repaid GoldMining $1,680,925, for amounts previously advanced to the Company.

Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking statements, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of opinions, estimates and assumptions that we considered appropriate and reasonable as of the date such statements are made, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the risk factors described in greater detail under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our final prospectus for the IPO filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission on April 20, 2023 (the “Final Prospectus”). Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with other cautionary statements in this document. Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speaks only as of the date made.

Business Overview

We are a United States domiciled exploration stage company and our sole project is currently the Whistler Project. The Whistler Project is a gold-copper exploration project located in the Yentna Mining District, approximately 150 km northwest of Anchorage, in Alaska.

We were incorporated on June 30, 2015 in Alaska as “BRI Alaska Corp.” On September 8, 2022, we redomiciled to Nevada and changed our name to “U.S. GoldMining Inc.”. We are a subsidiary of GoldMining Inc. (“GoldMining”), a company organized under the laws of Canada and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE American. GoldMining is a public mineral exploration company that was incorporated in 2009 and is focused on the acquisition and development of gold assets in the Americas. Our principal executive offices are located at 1188 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4A2 and our head operating offices are located at 301 Calista Court, Suite 200, Office 203, Anchorage, Alaska, 99518. Our website address is www.us.goldmining.com. Our common shares and common share purchase warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “USGO” and “USGOW”, respectively.

Initial Public Offering

On April 24, 2023, in connection with the closing of our initial public offering (the “IPO”), the Company issued 2,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $20,000,000. In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred securities issuance costs of $970,194, of which $650,000 represented cash fees paid to the Underwriters. After the IPO, GoldMining continued to own a controlling interest in the Company of 9,622,491 common shares and 122,490 common share purchase warrants, representing approximately 79.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company. As of August 31, 2023, GoldMining owned 79.7% of the Company.

The Whistler Gold-Copper Project

After completing the IPO, the Company has disclosed that it intends to pursue planned exploration activities including core drilling. Permits have been received to commence these activities, starting with renovation of the Whistler camp in preparation for the summer 2023 exploration season.

The Company’s currently planned exploration program over the 2023 and 2024 field seasons consists of up to 10,000-meters of core drilling, surface exploration which may include soil geochemical sampling and geophysical surveying, processing and interpretation, and collection of mine planning and mineral processing information including metallurgical, geotechnical and hydrogeological data. Environmental baseline data collection, as well as heritage, archaeological and traditional land use studies, are also expected to be initiated in 2023. The Company will also engage in stakeholder consultation with respect to both the present and ongoing exploration activity and the potential future mine development of the Whistler Project.

On August 21, 2023, the Company announced the commencement of the 2023 Phase 1 Drilling Program at its 100% owned Whistler gold-copper project. Phase 1 of the Program, comprises up to an initial 5,000 meters of the budgeted and fully funded 10,000-meter drilling program. The drill core will be logged and sampled at the existing Whistler facility and samples will be sent to the Bureau Veritas North America Ltd. laboratory in Fairbanks, AK, for processing and assaying.

Results of Operations

Until the IPO, we operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GoldMining. Accordingly, the financial statements for the comparative three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2022 and our balance sheet data for the year ended November 30, 2022, included in our unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, were prepared on a “carve-out” basis to include allocations of certain assets, liabilities and expenses related to services and support functions from GoldMining, which were allocated on a pro-rata basis considered by GoldMining to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to us for the periods presented. Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. However, these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be attained if our Company had operated as a separate legal entity during the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Prior to the completion of our IPO, capital resources consisted primarily of cash advanced and/or contributed from GoldMining. On April 24, 2023, we completed our IPO and issued 2,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for net proceeds in an aggregate amount of approximately $19.1 million after deducting underwriting fees and offering costs. In May 2023, we repaid GoldMining $1,680,925, for amounts previously advanced to us by GoldMining.

As of August 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,777,663, compared to $54,508 as of November 30, 2022 and restricted cash of $87,015, compared to $nil as of November 30, 2022. We had other receivables of $147,331 as of August 31, 2023, compared to $68,000 as of November 30, 2022. The increase in other receivables was mainly due to interest receivable on term deposits held by us. We had inventories of $32,047 as of August 31, 2023 compared to $nil as of November 30, 2022, which included fuels held at the Whistler Project camp site. We had prepaid expenses and deferred costs of $1,538,421 as of August 31, 2023, compared to $107,111 as of November 30, 2022. The increase was primarily for $1,069,889 cash advances to a technical consulting company for management of the exploration program for the Whistler Project, $271,941 prepaid corporate development expenses, $159,756 prepaid insurance costs and $36,835 prepaid dues and subscriptions costs for activities after completion of the IPO.

As of August 31, 2023, current liabilities were $448,813, compared to $1,287,019 as of November 30, 2022.

The decreases in current liabilities were primarily related to the repayment of advances from GoldMining.

We have not generated any revenue from operations and the only sources of financing to date have been through advances from GoldMining and the IPO. Our ability to meet our obligations and finance exploration activities depends on our ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to private placements and short-term or long-term loans. Capital markets may not be receptive to offerings of new equity from treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. This may be further complicated by the limited liquidity for our common shares, restricting access to some institutional investors. Our growth and success is dependent on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

As of August 31, 2023 we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Future Commitments

We acquired rights to the Whistler Project and associated equipment in August 2015 pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and among us, GoldMining, Kiska Metals Corporation (“Kiska”) and Geoinformatics Alaska Exploration Inc (“Geoinformatics”). Pursuant to such agreement, we assumed an obligation on the Whistler Project pursuant to a royalty purchase agreement between Kiska, Geoinformatics, and MF2, LLC (“MF2”), dated December 16, 2014. This agreement granted MF2 a 2.75% NSR royalty over all 304 claims, and, extending outside the current claims, over an area of interest defined by the maximum historical extent of claims held on the project.

The exercise of stock options and warrants is at the discretion of their respective holders and, accordingly, there is no assurance that any of the stock options or warrants will be exercised in the future.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is as follows:

Asset retirement obligation

An asset retirement obligation represents the present value of estimated future costs for the rehabilitation of our mineral property. These estimates include assumptions as to the future activities, cost of services, timing of the rehabilitation work to be performed, inflation rates, exchange rates and interest rates. The actual cost to rehabilitate a mineral property may vary from the estimated amounts because there are uncertainties in factors used to estimate the cost and potential changes in regulations or laws governing the rehabilitation of a mineral property. Management periodically reviews the rehabilitation requirements and adjusts the liability as new information becomes available and will assess the impact of new regulations and laws as they are enacted.

Allocation of expenses from GoldMining.

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, certain general administrative expenses, including employment related expenditures for services and support functions provided by GoldMining, were allocated on a pro-rata basis considered by GoldMining to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to us.

Allocation of carve-out expenses from GoldMining.

The balance sheet as of November 30, 2022 and comparative financial statements for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 have been prepared on a “carve-out” basis to include allocations of certain assets, liabilities and expenses related to services and support functions from GoldMining, which were allocated on a pro-rata basis considered by GoldMining to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to us for the quarters presented. These expenses, assets, and liabilities have been allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with others allocated based on relevant data criteria as follows:

●

General and administrative expenses- allocated all direct expenses and corporate expenses were allocated based on an estimate of time incurred to reflect the utilization of those services by the Company including:

	◌	Office space, equipment and administrative services.
	◌	Employment related expenses, including share-based compensation which was calculated using the Black-Scholes model.

●

Accounts payable and accrued expenses, prepaid expenses and deposits, due to GoldMining, allocated all amounts directly related to the Company.

Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. Therefore, these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be attained if we had operated as a separate legal entity during the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Restricted Shares

The fair value of the restricted shares is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the restricted shares vest. When restricted shares are conditional upon the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates the length of the expected vesting period at grant date, based on the most likely outcome of the performance condition. The fair value of the restricted shares is determined based on the fair value of the common shares on the grant date, adjusted for lack of marketability discount, minority shareholder discount, and other applicable factors that are generally recognized by market participants.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 209-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Management has assessed and concluded there is no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

JOBS Act

In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

We continue the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions, as an emerging growth company, we may rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our IPO; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any material proceedings. Regardless of outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Final Prospectus. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. As of the date hereof, there have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in our Final Prospectus.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Use of Proceeds from our Public Offering of Common Shares

On April 24, 2023, the Company issued 2,000,000 Units of the Company at a price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $20,000,000 pursuant to the IPO. The Units were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and BMO Capital Markets Corp. acted as joint book-running managers, and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acted as the representative of the Underwriters.

As of August 31, 2023, the proceeds from the IPO have been used to fund exploration and development activities and community consultation, repayment of funds advanced by GoldMining and/or its subsidiaries, re-activation of the existing exploration camp at the Whistler Project and for working capital. None of these payments consisted of direct or indirect payments to our officers or directors, to persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any of our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries and to non-employee directors as compensation for services on our board. There has been no material change in our planned use of the net proceeds from the IPO as described in our Final Prospectus.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States are required to disclose in their periodic reports filed with the SEC information regarding specified health and safety violations, orders and citations, issued under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”) by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (the “MSHA”), as well as related assessments and legal actions, and mining-related fatalities.
