U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USGO#NASDAQ">USGO</a>) ("U.S. GoldMining"&nbsp;or the "Company") is&nbsp;pleased to announce new assay results from the 2024 confirmatory diamond core drilling program completed at the Whistler Gold-Copper Project (the "Project") in Alaska, U.S.A.
The results reported in this news release highlight WH24-05, which was drilled adjacent to the Raintree West Deposit (the "Raintree Deposit"). The drilling intercepted multiple zones of high-grade gold and silver polymetallic mineralization approximately 500 meters south of any prior drilling at the deposit.
Selected Highlights:
<ul>
<li>Main Zone composite intercept of 138.0&nbsp;meters (m) at&nbsp;0.99 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEq)&#x2A;&nbsp;comprising 0.89&nbsp;g/t gold (Au) and 0.05 percent (%) copper (Cu), plus 17.57 g/t silver (Ag), 0.44% lead (Pb) and 0.95% zinc (Zn) (elevated Ag, Pb and Zn grades are excluded in the AuEq calculations), from 635.0 m to 773.0 m down hole.</li>
<li>Including higher-grade individual intercepts:
<ul>
<li>26 m at 1.48 g/t AuEq&nbsp;(1.36 g/t Au, 0.06% Cu) plus 15.38 g/t Ag, 0.69% Pb and 1.61% Zn</li>
<li>34 m at 1.65 g/t AuEq&nbsp;(1.49 g/t Au, 0.08% Cu) plus 19.95 g/t Ag, 0.81% Pb and 1.35% Zn</li>
<li>18 m at 1.93 g/t AuEq&nbsp;(1.70 g/t Au, 0.13% Cu) plus 66.33 g/t Ag, 0.62% Pb and 1.84% Zn</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The drill intercept represents a relatively new style of&nbsp;mineralization - high-grade gold and silver polymetallic veins - with only one other intercept previously drilled at the Raintree Deposit:</li>
<li>This new discovery validates the Company's exploration strategy of exploring the Project to maximize its resource potential. Additional follow-up drilling is planned this coming summer.</li>

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) has today announced it is opening sales for the Rivian Commercial van to fleets of all sizes in the US. The Rivian Commercial Van is the platform on which Amazon's custom electric delivery van (EDV) is based, and is designed from the ground up, prioritizing safety, driver comfort, total cost of ownership and sustainability. Safety features include automatic emergency braking, collision warnings, and 360-degree visibility – meaning the Rivian Commercial Van is engineered to be among the safest vehicles on the road today.
Since the conclusion of Rivian and Amazon's exclusivity period, Rivian has been trialing its commercial van with several large fleets in the US, and preparing its fleet management process for the mass market. These pilots have paved the way to enable Rivian to open sales further.
The Rivian Commercial Van comes in two sizes, the 500 and the 700, providing a payload of up to 2,663 lbs and a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of up to 9,500 lbs. Rivian's in-house software stack controls nearly every interaction, from unlocking the vehicle and opening the door, to charging and acceleration. These tools help streamline the ownership experience, and minimize costs, while increasing safety and productivity.
