RISK INDEX
RED FLAGS 56 SHARE PRINTING 8 RUNWAY 8 YEARS-LONG PATTERN 2 = 74/100. WHY THIS NUMBER, PIECE BY PIECE.

THE READ 32 red-flag mentions across this year's filings, led by dilution and going concern doubt, and 98 since 2001, so this is a long-running pattern; share count rose 12% over the past year; roughly 8 months of cash at the current burn rate.

Red Flags

2025-08-27 → 2026-08-27

We read every document this company filed with the SEC this year and counted the classic danger phrases. Where wording can be misleading, we open the actual documents and separate real warnings from accounting boilerplate. Each hit links to the exact document.

Dilution (at the market offering) AT LEAST 24 REAL WARNINGS · 21 matching docS this year · 45 ALL TIME

An ATM lets the company print and sell new shares into the market any day it wants. Every print dilutes your slice.

Reverse stock split 0 REAL WARNINGS · 1 matching doc this year · 14 ALL TIME

A reverse split shrinks the share count to lift the price above $1. Repeat reverse splits are the classic death-spiral signature.

Going concern doubt AT LEAST 8 REAL WARNINGS · 12 matching docS this year · 39 ALL TIME

Auditors flagged substantial doubt the company survives the next 12 months without new money.

Delisting / exchange risk CLEAN

The exchange has threatened to kick the stock off. Delisting pressure usually ends in a reverse split or a fire-sale raise.

The Printing Press

How many shares exist, over time, exactly as the company reported in its own filings. In microcaps, a rising share count is how holders pay for everything: salaries, debts, and bad deals. Sudden collapses in the line are reverse splits, marked below.

12,393,709 shares · 2023-07-13 14,035,736 shares · 2026-08-12 LAST 12M: +12.2% AVG/YEAR SINCE 2023: +4.1%

Cash Countdown

Cash in the bank against how fast the company burns it. When this hits zero, the next stop is usually a desperate raise at bad terms, and existing holders pay through dilution.

Cash burn / runway

Breaking Filing

8-K · 2026-08-27

An 8-K is the "something happened right now" filing. Here is what this one says, in the company's own words.

Item 7.01

On August 27, 2026, U.S. GoldMining Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release titled “U.S. GoldMining Provides Update on 2026 Exploration Program and Policy Tailwinds at its 100% Owned Whistler Gold-Copper Project, Alaska”. A copy of the news release is attached hereto as

The Verdict

AVOID · HIGH CONFIDENCE

A rules-based reading of the cited filing facts: a range with reasons, never a prediction.

AVOID
SCREENING VERDICT
HIGH confidence
$0.3100-$0.6200
FAIR VALUE BRACKET
book equity of $0.6200/share at 0.5-1.0x
$9.68
LAST CLOSE
non-realtime

HOW THE BRACKET IS BUILT: BOOK EQUITY OF $0.6200/SHARE AT 0.5-1.0X · MULTIPLES STRIPPED: UNDER A YEAR OF CASH AT THE CURRENT BURN, SO THE BRACKET CAPS AT WIND-DOWN CASH · CASH FLOOR: $0.5288/SHARE IN A WIND-DOWN.

BASIS FOR

+1

Share count is stable-ish (+5.1% change between the last two reported quarters).

+2

Fair-value range anchored to cited facts: $0.3100 to $0.6200 per share.

AGAINST

−1

Cash of $7,421,773 funds only ~0.6 years of operating burn (that is a going-concern pressure without a raise).

−2

The filings do not publish comparable revenue figures for two consecutive periods, so the revenue trend could not be measured.

−3

Verified going-concern warnings in a recent filing: auditors or management flagged substantial doubt about continuing (document text checked, boilerplate excluded).

METHOD: DETERMINISTIC RULES OVER CITED SEC FILING FACTS: SHARE-COUNT CHANGE BETWEEN THE LAST TWO REPORTED QUARTERS (DILUTION), CASH-TO-BURN RUNWAY FROM THE MOST RECENT OPERATING CASH FLOW, PERIOD-OVER-PERIOD REVENUE GROWTH, AND A FAIR-VALUE RANGE ANCHORED TO CASH PER SHARE VS PRICE. THRESHOLDS ARE TUNABLE IN APP/VERDICT_ENGINE.PY. NOT A PREDICTION.
