In a press release August 6, 2008, US Gold announced that drilling has resumed on its Cortez Trend properties. The Company's primary objective in Nevada is to discover the next Cortez Hills deposit. Cortez Hills, owned by the world's largest gold producer, is Nevada's largest gold discovery of the past decade and located just 10 miles (16 km) north of US Gold. US Gold's 2008-2009 Nevada exploration program will consist of approximately 50,000 ft. (15,240 m) of drilling. Exploration will focus on the Gold Bar property and Tonkin, where US Gold recently published an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate (Measured + Indicated 1,447,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 0.041 ounces per ton (opt) and Inferred 311,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 0.033 opt). Both projects are situated in Nevada's prolific Cortez Trend.
According to Rob McEwen, Chairman and CEO of US Gold, "During the first half of 2008, US Gold undertook a detailed analysis of its prior results to determine where the greatest odds of discovering the next Cortez Hills exist. A lot of people thought we had abandoned Nevada and shifted our focus to Mexico. Nothing could be further from the truth! After making significant changes to our program in Nevada, I believe we have improved the odds of making a discovery."
US Gold Corporation is a United States based gold exploration company exploring throughout northeastern Nevada and has recently begun exploration in Mexico. The Company has large land holdings and a good treasury. US Gold's shares trade on the American and Toronto Stock Exchanges under the symbol UXG.
