VANCOUVER, May 30, 2017 - GoldMining Inc. ("GoldMining" or the "Company") (TSX-V: GOLD; OTCQX: GLDLF) and Bellhaven Copper and Gold Inc. ("Bellhaven") (TSX-V: BHV) are pleased to announce that, further to their news release dated April 12, 2017, GoldMining has completed its acquisition of Bellhaven.

Amir Adnani, Chairman of GoldMining, commented: "We are pleased to be closing our second major transaction in Colombia, which will further expand our significant land package within the Mid Cauca Belt, one of the most prospective and underexplored gold belts in the world. Beyond the current defined resource base, La Mina and Titiribi collectively host several underexplored porphyry targets, which we believe offer excellent opportunities for potential new gold discoveries in an area with excellent infrastructure. On behalf of the Company, we welcome Bellhaven shareholders of GoldMining and we look forward to advancing our asset base together for the benefit of all shareholders."

Garnet Dawson, CEO of GoldMining, commented: "The Mid Cauca Belt has seen increased activity in 2017 with Newmont?s strategic investment in Continental Gold?s Buritica project, IAMGOLD´s option of Gran Colombia?s Zancudo project and the joint exploration success at San Matias by Cordoba Minerals and High Power Exploration.In the months ahead, we will review previous exploration results and work with Dr. Paul Zweng, the former Chairman and CEO of Bellhaven, who has joined our Advisory Board, to outline a drill program at La Garrucha to provide data to complete a maiden resource estimate for this prospect."


The Transaction

The transaction was completed by way of a plan of arrangement pursuant to an arrangement agreement between the parties dated April 11, 2017. Under the arrangement, GoldMining acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Bellhaven (the "Bellhaven Shares") for total consideration of 7,339,303 common shares of the Company (the "GOLD Shares"), which included 1,842,750 GOLD Shares issued to the Toquepala Fund LP in exchange for 6,300,000 units of Bellhaven, each unit consisting of one Bellhaven Share and one warrant to purchase a Bellhaven Share, and 0.25 GOLD Shares issued to Bellhaven shareholder for each outstanding Bellhaven Share. As a result of the transaction, Bellhaven will also pay US$100,000 and US$247,000 to Bellhaven's former Chairman and Chief Executive officer and its former Chief Financial Officer, respectively, in connection with certain change of control and termination provisions under their consulting agreements with Bellhaven.

The Company further announces the completion of Bellhaven?s previously announced acquisition of the remaining 24% equity interest in the entity that owns certain concessions underlying the La Mina Project ("La Mina" or the "Project") in exchange for a payment of US$300,000 and the delivery of 162,500 GOLD Shares to Monpal S.A.S., a company controlled by Alejandro Montoya-Palacios, a former director of Bellhaven. As a result, the Company now holds a 100% interest in La Mina.


The Project

La Mina is located approximately 41 km southwest of the city of Medellin in the Department of Antioquia, in central Colombia and approximately 6 km southeast of GoldMining?s Titiribi Project (Fig. 1). The Project is comprised of two concessions that cover an area of 32 km². Northern Antioquia has seen steadily increasing activity over the last several years including, but not limited to success by Cordoba Minerals and High Power Exploration at the San Matias copper-gold project, Continental Gold?s recently permitted high-grade Buritica gold project and investment by GoldCorp, IAMGOLD´s recent option agreement with Gran Colombia Gold on the past producing Zancudo gold mine, and AngloGold Ashanti and B2Gold?s development stage Nuevo Chaquiro project. The Project is road accessible by paved highway to a junction with an 11 km gravel road that leads to site. Water, power and labour are readily available at the Project site.

La Mina includes the Middle Zone and La Cantera gold-copper porphyry deposits as well as the highly prospective La Garrucha prospect located approximately 800 m to the east. The aeromagnetic anomaly over the nearby La Garrucha prospect is substantially larger than those over both the La Cantera and Middle Zone deposits. It has been partially tested by drilling (6,734 m in 17 holes) and future exploration programs will focus on expanding the area of mineralization in order to complete a revised resource estimate. In addition, there are several prospects including El Limon, El Oso, Media Luna and Buenavista that require additional follow-up exploration (Fig. 2).

The Middle Zone and La Cantera deposits occur within 400 m of each other and were the subject of a resource estimate published by Bellhaven in October 2016 (Table 1). The resource was based on 14,284 m of drilling in 88 drill holes. Block models were created with parent blocks measuring 5 m³ for the Middle Zone and 10 m³ for La Cantera. Inverse distance squared was used to interpolate grade into blocks at the Middle Zone and ordinary kriging was used to interpolate grade into blocks at La Cantera, which in both cases were constrained by geology. Indicated mineral resources, which comprise approximately 70% of the resource, were defined as blocks that are within 35 m of a drill hole and where a minimum of two drill holes were used to estimate grade. Grade-capping was employed at the Middle Zone to limit the impact of high-grade outlier samples. Gold was capped at 4.2 ppm, silver at 25.5 ppm and copper at 3,000 ppm. Densities of 2.65 t/m³ for the Middle Zone and 2.70 t/m³ for La Cantera were used to convert volumes to tonnages and were based on 636 individual measurements of drill-core samples.

The conceptual pit delineated resource used a Whittle-Pit algorithm with the following input parameters to calculate the in-pit resources:

• Median consensus long-term projected metal prices of US$1,275/oz gold, US$17.75/oz silver, and US$2.75/lb copper;
• G&A of US$0.98/t;
• Open-pit mining costs of US$1.72/t;
• Processing costs of US$5.83/t;
• Metallurgical recoveries of 93% for gold and 90% for copper; and
• Average pit-slope of 50 degrees.

Table 1 Notes:
	1.	Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves.
	2.	Gold-equivalent grades were calculated using the following formula: AuEq = [{Au (g/t) + [Cu(%)} x {%Recoverable Cu / %Recoverable Au} x {Cu Price/Au Price} x 22.0462 x 31.1035] + [Ag (g/t) x {Ag Price/Au Price}]. Metal prices used were the median consensus long-term prices as of July, 2016 for gold (US$1,275/oz), silver (US$17.75/oz), and copper (US$2.75/lb). Metal prices are not constant and are subject to change. Metal recoveries of 93% Au and 90% Cu are estimates based on metallurgical results announced in Bellhaven?s news release dated September 21, 2016.
	3.	All quantities are rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures; consequently sums may not add up due to rounding.

The resource estimate for La Mina is based on a technical report completed for Bellhaven by Scott E. Wilson, C.P.G. titled "Technical Report for the La Mina Project, Antioquia, Republic of Colombia", who is independent of Bellhaven and GoldMining within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101, with an effective date of October 24, 2016.
