GoldMining has launched a drilling programme centred on exploration at its wholly owned São Jorge Project situated in Brazil's Tapajós gold district.

This initiative, set for 2026, aims to focus on systematic drilling to follow up on high-priority targets near the existing resource deposit.

The exploration involves a two-rig operation drilling 8,000m, which is fully financed and actively progressing on site.

This programme seeks to explore new zones of potential bedrock mineralisation at significant geochemical and geophysical sites, including the William South target.

Located within 2km of the main mineral resource deposit, initial results from William South site include 12m at 2.38 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold from a depth of 13m, with a notable section of 1m yielding 22g/t.

Additional findings reported were 4m at 1.11g/t from a depth of 46m and 1m at 1.23g/t from a depth of 16m.

The project also features an untested induced polarity (IP) chargeability anomaly, prompting significant expansion in geophysical coverage through an ongoing IP survey east of the deposit covering 49 line-kilometres.

The exploration has revealed a broader mineral system spanning a footprint of 12km by 7km surrounding the main deposit, which suggests further exploration potential for the project.

GoldMining president and CEO Alastair Still said: “This drill programme marks a pivotal step in our 2026 exploration strategy at São Jorge. We are exploring in the prolific Tapajós gold district with an estimated 30 million ounces of historical surficial gold production, and our recent targeting work has outlined some of the most robust and continuous gold anomalies we've seen on our 46,485ha property.

“We already have excellent infrastructure in place, including grid power, highway access, and a fully operational 50-person camp, so more of our dollars can go directly towards potentially expanding our mineral resource estimate.”
