GoldMining Inc.

Amir Adnani's GoldMining Inc. holds roughly 13M oz of gold resources across the Americas without operating a single mine.

GoldMining Inc.

Amir Adnani and Garnet Dawson founded GoldMining Inc. in 2009 as a public gold-accumulation vehicle that does not mine. The company acquires and holds large-scale gold and gold-copper resource-stage projects throughout the Americas, advancing them through technical studies and permitting while preserving the optionality to sell, spin out, or joint-venture when development economics improve. The portfolio spans Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Canada, and the United States, with flagship projects including the São Jorge gold project in Brazil's Tapajós region, the La Mina gold-copper deposit in Colombia, and the Titiribi gold-copper project, also in Colombia. Rather than committing capex to a single mine, GoldMining maintains a diversified resource base — a structure Adnani refined from his earlier experience co-founding Uranium Energy Corp. This project-generator model limits dilution and keeps technical talent focused on resource expansion and de-risking, not production schedules. In 2020, Adnani and former Goldcorp CEO David Garofalo spun Gold Royalty Corp. out of GoldMining's royalty portfolio, creating a pure-play precious-metals royalty company. GoldMining retained an equity stake and ongoing royalty interests on certain properties. The firm employs a lean technical team, with Gold Royalty Corp. sharing management and board overlap. The corporate structure therefore functions as a resource incubator, with royalties providing a recurring revenue stream that partly funds continued exploration and expansion across the wholly owned project portfolio. The structural differentiator is the company's refusal to become a producer. While most gold juniors eventually build or sell a single flagship asset, GoldMining operates as a curated collection of deposits — a portfolio approach that spreads political and geological risk across five jurisdictions and gives management permanent option value on any future gold price cycle.

Frequently asked questions

Does GoldMining Inc. operate any gold mines?

No. GoldMining is a resource-accumulation company, not a gold producer. It acquires and holds large-scale gold and gold-copper deposits, advancing them through technical studies and permitting, but does not build or operate mines. Revenue comes from royalties and asset sales rather than production.

How is GoldMining Inc. related to Gold Royalty Corp.?

Gold Royalty Corp. was spun out of GoldMining's royalty portfolio in 2020 by Amir Adnani and former Goldcorp CEO David Garofalo. GoldMining retained an equity stake in the new royalty company and continues to hold royalties on certain properties. The two entities share management and board overlap, functioning as complementary vehicles — one holds the physical resource projects, the other collects royalties.

Where does GoldMining hold its gold assets?

The portfolio spans five countries — Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Canada, and the United States. Key assets include São Jorge in Brazil's Tapajós gold district, and the La Mina and Titiribi gold-copper projects in Colombia. This geographic diversification spreads political and geological risk across multiple jurisdictions.

What is GoldMining's total gold resource?

As of its most recent public disclosures, the company reports roughly 13 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated resources across its wholly owned project portfolio, with additional inferred resources and by-product credits that vary by project. These figures are not proven or probable reserves compliant with S-K 1300 until a final feasibility study is completed (per GoldMining Inc., 2024).

Who runs investment decisions at GoldMining?

Amir Adnani, as Chairman and CEO, drives the acquisition strategy alongside CEO Garnet Dawson. Adnani previously co-founded Uranium Energy Corp. and applied a similar project-generator model to gold. The board includes veteran mining engineers and former producers like David Garofalo, who was CEO of Goldcorp before its sale to Newmont.
