U.S. Gold Corp. Announces the Extension of Gold and Copper Mineralization an Additional 700 Feet Below its Proposed CK Gold Project Open Pit

In commenting on these latest results, Kevin Francis, V.P. Exploration and Technical Services of U.S. Gold, said, "The primary purpose of the 2021 drill program was to support feasibility study level hydrology and geotechnical studies. Nonetheless, CK21-12rc/c, a combination reverse circulation and core hole, CK21-14c and CK21-03c were also exploratory. These holes have discovered future mineral resource expansion potential at depth below the proposed open pit and to the southeast of the proposed pit. While we know that there are additional mineralization requiring further exploration expenditures, our priority is to realize the value of the commercially attractive gold-copper project identified in our prefeasibility study, published December 1, 2021. We remain on track to complete the permit to mine application, which will be led by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality."

2021 Drilling Program Results

The Company reported additional results from 3 core holes completed during the 2021 drilling program which was primarily focused on advancing geotechnical and hydrologic understanding. Gold and copper assays from the 2021 program have extended mineralization beyond the prefeasibility mineral resource estimate. As such, the Company believes that an increase of mineral resources is possible.

g/t = grams per metric tonne, oz/st = troy ounces per short ton, 1 g/t = .0291652 oz/st
AuEQ calculated using metal pricing: $1625/oz Au, $3.25/lb Cu and $18/oz Ag -

The plan map below shows the distribution of the newly reported holes relative to the proposed prefeasibility ultimate pit outline.

The following figures are cross sections through each hole plotted with the block grade estimates from the prefeasibility study estimation model. The drill holes' gold and copper grades correlate well to the block model. The effect of capping assay grades prior to estimation has limited the imact of higher grades.

The table below reports significant intervals exceeding an 0.30 g/t AuEq cutoff. Mineralization continues to expand to the southeast of and at depth below the proposed pit.

The Company looks forward to designing an upcoming drill program, taking into account the results above, to potentially further increase the mineral resource at the CK Gold Project. Timing will be dependent upon the priorities of completing the next development steps and submitting the mine to permit application and available treasury.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") Procedure

U.S. Gold Corp. employs a rigorous QA/QC protocol on all aspects of sampling and analytical procedure. Drill core is checked, logged, marked for sampling and sawn in half. One-half of each drill core is maintained for future reference and the other half of each drill core is sent to ALS, an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory in Reno, Nevada to complete all sample preparation and assaying. Samples are analyzed employing fire assaying with atomic absorption finish for gold, and four-acid ICP-MS analysis for silver and copper. For QA/QC purposes, certified standards, blank samples and sample duplicates are inserted into the sample stream. U.S. Gold Corp. also periodically submits sample pulps to another independent laboratory for check analysis.
