GoldMining Reports Promising Drilling Results at São Jorge Project in Brazil's Tapajós District
GoldMining Inc., an innovative leader in mineral exploration, has made significant progress in its drilling operations at the São Jorge Project, located in the Tapajós gold district of Pará State, Brazil. As of January 26, 2026, the company's recent assay results from the 2025 drilling campaign have generated excitement in the mining community, suggesting an encouraging outlook for gold mineralization beneath the project's surface.
The São Jorge Project is 100% owned by GoldMining and represents a key asset in its portfolio, featuring an underexplored area with substantial potential for further mineral discoveries. This recent drilling initiative included a total of 3,862 meters of diamond core drilling aimed at probing deeper into the mineralized structures identified in earlier exploration phases.
Among the standout results from the current drilling program, a notable intercept of 19 meters returned a gold grade of 1.00 grams per tonne (g/t) from a depth of 425 meters. This remarkable find is situated beneath the current mineral resource estimate and highlights the deepening of the known gold deposit at São Jorge. Additionally, the drilling also revealed wider zones of mineralization, with a broader 73-meter zone recorded at an average grade of 0.54 g/t.
GoldMining’s CEO, Alastair Still, expressed optimism regarding the potential extensions of the mineral resource at São Jorge, stating, "We are encouraged by the potential for additional systematic drilling to extend the mineral resource deeper. The project's infrastructure facilitates further exploration activities that could yield significant growth in what is becoming a highly prospective area."
The exploration efforts have not only concentrated on verifying the known resource but also on assessing new targets in proximity to the existing resource area. This includes the William South Prospect, where preliminary results from induced polarization (IP) data suggest a strong chargeability anomaly. Such findings are crucial as they provide favorable indicators for potential gold mineralization nearby.
Future exploration strategies will prioritize this IP anomaly in 2026 as GoldMining aims to advance its geological understanding of the region. The ongoing findings at the William South Prospect, supplemented by existing soil geochemical anomalies, underscore a broader mineral system across the project's expansive area of 46,000 hectares, all 100% owned by GoldMining.
GoldMining's commitment to thorough and systematic exploration is reflected in its 2025 drilling program, which involved 9,533 meters of various drilling techniques including diamond core, reverse circulation (RC), and auger drilling. Impressively, this was accomplished within budget, demonstrating GoldMining's ability to effectively manage operational costs while maximizing exploration output.
Located at the heart of Brazil's rich Tapajós gold district, the São Jorge Project is comparable to other noted nearby operations, including the Tocantinzinho gold mine. As exploration continues, GoldMining is poised to unlock additional resources that could lead to enhanced production capabilities and potentially heightened interest from investors.
With these promising developments, GoldMining is not only solidifying its presence in the Brazilian mining landscape but also setting the stage for what could be a significant chapter in its ongoing pursuit of mineral exploration and development. Investors and stakeholders will be watching closely as the company announces its plans for 2026, aiming to capitalize on the positive momentum and promising geological indicators emanating from the São Jorge Project. The prospect of discovering more substantial gold resources at depth is a thrilling prospect as GoldMining pushes forward with its ambitious agenda in one of the world's most promising gold districts.
