June 5th

Greetings Readers,


In early 2026, gold surged to record highs, capturing global attention as economic uncertainty, persistent inflation risks, and accelerating central bank demand reshape the metals landscape.


Some forecasts, including a notable projection calling for prices to approach $6,000 by year end, underscore the scale of potential change.


One U.S.-based gold exploration and development company is advancing projects designed to expand future supply and respond to shifting market dynamics.


Its progress offers a timely lens into how emerging producers may benefit from elevated valuations and heightened interest across the precious metals sector, making it worth a closer look today for readers.


And with a low float under 14Mn shares and two key analyst targets, this under-the-radar Nasdaq idea has found its way to the top of our Friday watchlist:


U.S. Gold Corp. (Nasdaq: USAU)


U.S. Gold Corp. is a U.S.-focused gold exploration and development company advancing high potential projects in Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho.


And based on multiple potential catalysts, (Nasdaq: USAU) has found its way to the top of our watchlist. Take a look:


#1. A Fairly Small Float Could Create The Potential For Heightened Volatility On A Daily Basis.


#2. Two Separate Analyst Targets Suggest Major Upside Potential.


#3. A Robust Feasibility Study For The CK Gold Project Puts The Company In The Spotlight.


#4. The Company Believes There Could Be Additional Revenue Streams Down The Road At The CK Gold Project.


#5. Gold Prices Hit All-Time Highs In 2026.


But more on those in a second...

What Makes U.S. Gold Corp. Unique


-- World-class portfolio, in stable and mining friendly U.S. jurisdictions, offering both near-term gold-copper production potential and blue-sky exploration upside.


  • CK Gold Project in Wyoming offers compelling value with approved development and operating permits advancing towards construction in an advantageous location.


  • Keystone Gold Project in Nevada offers significant exploration opp., situated 11 miles on-trend south of Nevada Gold Mines’ Cortez Complex, the second largest gold producer in NV.


  • Challis Gold Project in Idaho offers gold exploration potential in Idaho’s historic mining district and ~12 miles SW of Revival Gold’s “brownfield” Beartrack-Arnett Project.


-- Team of proven mine financiers, builders and explorers who have discovered and developed numerous world-class gold mines.


-- Minimal share count (~16.5M shares outstanding), listed on NASDAQ.

Project Overview


The CK Gold Project is a development-stage, large-tonnage gold-copper-silver deposit featuring high-grade mineralization exposed at surface, surrounded by a substantial low-grade halo with significant expansion potential. The deposit consists of oxide, mixed oxide-sulfide, and sulfide rock types, characterized by remarkably even metal distribution in disseminated and vein/stockwork styles.


The project is based on extensive drilling (over 160 holes totaling approximately 28,500 meters in earlier estimates) and benefits from simple open-pit mining, conventional comminution and flotation processing, and dry-stack tailings. It offers compelling economics, low development risk, and multiple upside opp's.


Feasibility Study Highlights (March 2026)


-- 11-year initial mine life (open-pit, low strip ratio of 0.89:1, ~20,000 short tons per day).


-- Production: Approximately 931,000 AuEq ounces over the life of mine (average ~85,000 AuEq oz per year LOM; higher grades prioritized early). Includes significant gold, copper, and silver credits.


-- Initial capital: Approximately $394Mn (reflecting updated engineering, inflation, and permitting requirements).


-- Robust Economics (base case prices: $3,250/oz gold, $4.50/lb copper, $40/oz silver):


  • After-tax NPV (5%): $632Mn
  • After-tax IRR: 27%
  • Rapid payback (~2.5 years) with strong early free cash flow.


-- At recent spot prices (e.g., ~$4,500/oz gold, $5.50/lb copper, $70/oz silver): After-tax NPV (5%) of $1.30Bn and IRR of 45%.


-- AISC: Co-product all-in sustaining cost of approximately $1,785/oz AuEq (earlier studies showed lower AISC at conservative prices; highly leveraged to metal prices).


-- Mineral Reserves & Resources: The FS is based on an updated mineral resource estimate (effective December 2025). Proven + Probable reserves support the initial mine plan, with substantial Measured & Indicated resources remaining outside the current pit shell for potential expansion (approximately 900,000 AuEq oz not included in the base plan but within the broader resource pit).

Upside Potential


The Feasibility Study represents a solid, standalone base case but is viewed as only the starting point for value creation at CK Gold:


  • Mine expansion: The current pit is intentionally constrained by permitting boundaries to maintain state-only approval. Additional Measured & Indicated material (plus resources below the pit) can be incorporated via future amendments.


  • Resource growth: Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike; inferred resources offer conversion potential through a pending drilling program.


  • Metallurgical improvements: Potential exists to boost gold recoveries toward ~95%, through treatment of the flotation tailings, or a portion thereof.


  • Aggregate revenue: Potential sales of ~40Mn tons of mined waste rock as high-quality aggregate or rail ballast, creating an additional long-term revenue stream to meet local market demand.


  • Mine life extension: Opp's to extend operations well beyond the initial 11 years through expansion incorporating known and potential mineral resources which would defer closure costs.


Value engineering, plant optimization, and further drilling are planned to enhance margins and scale without delaying the base development case.

Keystone Project Location


Cortez Trend - An established gold mining jurisdiction


  • Produced ~4.47M oz of gold in 2021 - approx. 78% of U.S. gold production


  • 6th largest gold producing “country” in the world, if Nevada were a country


  • Historically, Nevada has produced > 225M oz of gold, hosting numerous world-class deposits


  • “Elephant country”: > 20M oz gold deposits


  • Pro-mining environment, geopolitical stability, major infrastructure


Keystone exhibits many similarities to Barrick’s deposits to the north; similar host rock, stratigraphy, structure and Eocene-aged intrusive rocks

Keystone Exploration


Keystone moved from scout hole to targeted drilling – vectoring toward discovery success


2019 targeted drilling of 7 holes


  • High priority targets to follow up on 2018 results
  • Provided a first test to several drill targets in areas previously inaccessible


2026 Plan


  • Leverage all geologic information via VRIFY AI. Geophysical surveys, drilling, surface geochemistry and surface mapping have been merged and development of new targets are underway


Future proposed drilling


  • A mix of core and RC, focused on the Sophia and Greenstone Gulch target areas. Further drilling will be conducted at Nina Skarn in the future
  • Discussing potential partnership opp's at Keystone with industry leading companies


U.S. Gold Corp. believes that high priority targets show the potential for promising Carlin-type gold deposits.

Challis Gold Project - Idaho is a Mining State


  • Approved Plan of Operations from USFS


  • Challis Gold Project is located about 47 miles SW of Salmon, ID and 12 miles SW of Revival Gold’s Beartrack Project, within the Tertiary Challis Volcanic Field


  • Challis Gold is a low sulfidation, Au-Ag epithermal vein and stockwork deposit localized along intersecting NW – NE trending shear structures in a window of sedimentary rocks exposed through the Challis Volcanics


  • Historical (not-current) 43-101 Resource of approximately 313,825 oz Au at a grade of 1.22 g/t Au, low strip ratio (Johnny’s Point)


  • Idaho is ranked as world’s 8th best mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute; higher than any Canadian jurisdiction


  • Nearby Idaho mining areas include the Stibnite Au project, Beartrack Au project, Delamar Ag-Au mine, Coeur d’Alene AgZn-Pb mines, Black Pine Au mine and Thompson Creek Mo mine

#3. USAU Potential Catalyst - A Robust Feasibility Study For The CK Gold Project Puts The Company In The Spotlight.


U.S. Gold Corp. Delivers Robust Feasibility Study For Ck Gold Project Highlighting Attractive Economics And Detailing Relative Low Development Risk


CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Gold Corp. ("US Gold" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: USAU) is pleased to announce the results of its Feasibility Study (the "FS") for the development of its wholly-owned CK Gold Project ("CK" or the "Project"), located in southeast Wyoming 20-mile from Cheyenne.


...


George Bee, President, CEO and Director of US Gold commented: "The Feasibility Study is the culmination of 5-years of work to engineer and permit a U.S. domestic project ready for immediate development. CK is one of the most compelling, resilient, and capital-efficient copper-gold-silver projects in the U.S. ready for development. The FS outlines a technically simple, low risk, phased development with outstanding economics, including a rapid 2.5-year payback, strong early free cash flow profile, and a relatively modest capex and reasonable NPV-to-capex ratio. Importantly, the FS is delivered with all permits in hand at an opportune time. While the FS reflects an 11-year plan followed by closure, it represents only the beginning for CK. The Project also hosts a considerable mineral resource beyond the current mine, offering expansion opportunities that remain open, and a multi-decade opp. to provide rock aggregate to the local market and beyond.


The feasibility-level engineering, metallurgy, and capital and operating costing have been conducted with a view to continuing into a smooth transition to detailed engineering and Project execution once Project financing is secured. With permits already in place, delivery of the FS allows interested parties to assess the Project from a number of avenues for Project financing including debt, equity, off-take and other vehicles to secure the initial capital. With a manageable capex quantum, relatively low execution risk, advancing CK provides the Company with the ability to generate long-term value for our shareholders, the State or Wyoming, and the communities in the vicinity of the Project. CK is expected to support an average workforce of approximately 198 direct high-quality, long-term jobs over the life-of-mine and beyond. We look forward to providing further updates as the Project progresses with financing and construction in 2026."


...


Feasibility Study Summary


The FS confirms robust economics for a low-cost, large-scale, conventional open pit feeding a simple copper-gold concentrator process plant, with competitive operating costs and high rate of return. The FS outlines total production of: 931 koz AuEq over an 11-year operating mine life (followed by two years of closure), resulting in an average LOM annual production profile of 85 koz AuEq per annum at an AISC of $1785/oz AuEq. The Project generates an after-tax NPV5% of $632Mn with an after-tax IRR of 27% at base case gold, copper and silver prices of $3,250/oz, $4.50/lb and $40/oz, respectively.

#4. USAU Potential Catalyst - The Company Believes There Could Be Additional Revenue Streams Down The Road At The CK Gold Project.


U.S. Gold Corp. Highlights Additional Value Opp's Beyond CK Gold Project Feasibility Study


CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Gold Corp. ("US Gold" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: USAU) today outlines a series of value enhancement opp's identified at its fully permitted, shovel-ready CK Gold Project ("CK") in southeast Wyoming, following the release of its Feasibility Study ("FS") on March 31, 2026.


The FS establishes a robust standalone development case after-tax net present value ("NPV") 5% of $632Mn ("M") using base case metal prices of $3,250 per ounce ("/oz") gold ("Au"), $4.50/lb copper ('Cu"), and $40/oz silver ("Ag"); After-tax NPV(5) of $1.30 billion ("B") using recent spot metal prices of $4,500/oz Au, $5.50/lb Cu and $70/oz Ag, importantly the opportunities discussed herein represent additional upside not required to support a construction decision which is expected to made in 2026.


While the FS establishes a strong baseline development case, management believes material upside exists beyond the current mine plan, with multiple initiatives under evaluation that could enhance production, extend mine life, and improve project economics over time.


Key Value Drivers Under Evaluation:


Mine Life & Production Expansion: Potential to incorporate additional Measured & Indicated resources through future pit expansion


Resource Growth: Conversion of inferred material and step-out drilling targeting depth and lateral extensions


Improved Metallurgical Recovery: Opp. to increase gold recovery from ~70% to towards 95% via incremental processing


Aggregate & Rail Ballast Business: Monetization of granodiorite waste rock as a long-term construction materials business


Closure Optimization: Potential alternative reclamation strategy leveraging the open pit for regional water infrastructure


U.S. Gold Chairman Luke Norman commented:


"The Feasibility Study confirms CK as a fully permitted, construction-ready gold-copper project with robust economics, especially at current metal prices. Importantly, it also represents only the starting point of value at CK.


With our recently strengthened balance sheet and the project de-risked, we are now positioned to pursue low-risk, high-impact opp's to expand resources, enhance recoveries, and unlock additional revenue streams.


We believe CK has the potential to evolve well beyond its current plan into a larger, longer-life and more economically robust operation, while delivering meaningful benefits to the State of Wyoming and local communities."
