Hello!
New Alert: U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU)
USAU is our new NASDAQ gold alert.
Gold is having one of the most extraordinary runs in modern financial history.
And most investors are still looking at gold ETFs and bullion while missing the companies that actually dig the metal out of the ground - where the real leverage to a rising gold price lives.
USAU is one of those companies.
Earlier this year, gold moved to new all-time highs after having rallied about 65% in 2025 – the strongest annual gain since the late 1970s, with USAU advancing alongside it – marking a gain of roughly +300% from our first USAU alert in 2025.
Both have since pulled back into a consolidation phase - a common reset after historic rallies and often the setup before the next big move higher.
Now, both gold and USAU are approaching a zone that has triggered strong reversals to the upside multiple times in recent months.
According to JP Morgan: “Looking ahead, the 2026 and 2027 outlook for the metal remains bullish. Prices are expected to push toward $5,000/oz by the fourth quarter of 2026, with $6,000/oz a possibility longer term” with “Central bank and investor demand for gold is set to remain strong, averaging 585 tonnes a quarter in 2026.”
USAU is a NASDAQ listed, “publicly traded, U.S. focused gold and copper exploration and development company”.
USAU has a “World-class portfolio, in stable and mining friendly U.S. jurisdictions, offering investors both near-term gold-copper production potential with blue-sky exploration upside.”
“The Company's CK Gold Project is located in Southeast Wyoming and has a Feasibility Study technical report, which was completed by Halyard-Micon International, Inc.”
“Its fully permitted CK Gold Project is located in Southeast Wyoming”, “just 20 miles west of Cheyenne, offers abundant access to infrastructure and recently achieved the critical milestone of being granted a Surface Mine Permit from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.”
“The Company's Keystone exploration property is on the Cortez Trend in Nevada.”
“Together with the district-scale Keystone Gold Project, located 11 miles from Nevada Gold Mines' second largest gold producer in the Cortez Trend, and the prospective Challis, Idaho Gold Project, U.S. Gold Corp. is ideally positioned to benefit from an upward trending precious metal and copper market.”
The backdrop for gold is unlike anything the market has seen in decades.
It’s also important to note that USAU is not purely a gold story. The company has meaningful copper exposure and as “copper is an essential element in renewable energy and electric transmission while gold has long demonstrated its value in preserving wealth and defending against inflation and currency volatility”, the combination creates a broader commodity tailwind. Ongoing supply constraints and electrification demand continue to support copper's long-term outlook alongside gold.
“Gold mining stocks are effectively a leveraged bet on gold prices”. “As the value of gold moves further above a miner's cost of production, profitability scales up dramatically”.
In other words:
When the price of commodities and assets like gold moves higher, small mining and exploration companies often present the highest growth potential.
As we have seen, all of this has been very positive for companies like USAU.
In 2025, USAU was added to “the Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Indexes”:
“Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies.”
“According to data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell U.S. indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, a prominent global index provider.”
Inclusion in these indexes is a meaningful milestone.
But that’s not all…
In March, the company announced that it was “Added To GDXJ Junior Gold Miners ETF”.
This is another significant development.
The GDXJ is one of the most widely followed ETFs in the junior mining space, and inclusion can increase market interest.
As the company explained in their March press release:
“The GDXJ is an ETF that tracks an index of small- and mid-cap companies primarily involved in gold and silver mining, providing investors indirect exposure to precious metals through junior mining equities.”
“This quarters rebalance included a total of 27 additions to the GDXJ index, with 17 of those being North American companies.”
Importantly:
“We believe our inclusion in the GDXJ will enhance U.S. Gold's visibility among institutional and retail investors, improve trading liquidity, and broaden our appeal as we continue to derisk and develop our portfolio of gold and gold-copper assets in Wyoming, Nevada, and Idaho. This is an exciting step forward for the Company and our shareholders.”
Here are some of the company’s comments from this press release:
Luke Norman, Executive Chairman of U.S. Gold Corp., added, "Inclusion in the GDXJ represents another validation of U.S. Gold's strategic positioning and strengthens our access to capital markets. As a U.S. focused junior with advanced, permitted assets in stable jurisdictions, the GDXJ inclusion will continue to attract greater institutional interest, improve share liquidity, and support our ongoing efforts to secure financing for project development. It underscores the growing recognition of high-quality North American juniors in a market increasingly favoring domestic, derisked opportunities."
Together, these additions place USAU in front of a much broader investor base as momentum across the metals sector continues to build.
In March, the company also announced:
“U.S. Gold Corp. Delivers Robust Feasibility Study For Ck Gold Project Highlighting Attractive Economics And Detailing Relative Low Development Risk”
U.S. Gold Commentary on 2026 CK Gold Project Feasibility Study Highlights:
“Solid Project returns: After-tax net present value ("NPV") 5% of $632 million ("M") and 27% after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") 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") and 45% after-tax IRR using recent spot metal prices of $4,500/oz Au, $5.50/lb Cu and $70/oz Ag.
Fully permitted: All required permits to begin construction are in-hand. $5M reclamation bond in place to cover first year of planned construction.
Initial 11-yr mine-life: Current fully permitted mine plan focused on 1.6 million1 ("Moz") of contained gold equivalent ("AuEq") ounces, as stated in Mineral Reserves.
Attractive production profile focused on early higher grades: After 1 year of ramp up, average sales of 102 thousand ounces ("koz") AuEq from year 2 to 8, with average life of mine ("LOM") sales of 85 koz AuEq at total cash costs of $1,748/oz AuEq. Ore body shows low LOM strip ratio of 0.89:1 with minimal pre-stripping.
Simple, robust, financeable Project: Total initial capital cost of $394 M (excludes $28 M of preproduction owners' cost and includes contingency of $47 million) and sustaining capital of $35 M over the LOM; well understood regulatory jurisdiction with stability and an exceptional location for infrastructure, manpower and support services.
Competitive Project metrics3: Base case post tax NPV-to-capex ratio of 1.6 and payback of 2.5 years; spot price NPV-to-capex ratio and payback improve to 3.3 and 1.6 years, respectively.
Strong free cash-flow profile in early years2: Excellent profitability after initial ramp up at beginning of mine life; Year 2-8 average after-tax free cash flow of $160 M; continuation into additional resources and further anticipated resource extensions at depth.
Simple, compact Project layout and processing: ~80-acre open pit is the source of ore and waste rock to mine facilities all within a 1.5-mile haul. The ore is fed to a primary crusher or low-grade stockpile. Primary crushed ore is ground in a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) - ball mill comminution circuit prior to flotation, regrind of rougher concentrate before final flotation to produce a clean gold rich copper concentrate. Dry-stack tailings enhance the most efficient use of water.
Significant benefits to State and local communities: Excellent local support for Project development built upon years of engagement and 2.1% royalty payments earmarked for grades K-12 education; an average of 198 direct permanent jobs are expected to be created at CK.
No cultural impacts revealed: The surrounding land was settled as the railroad developed 3-miles to the south of the Project in the 1860's. The State mineral and surface leases are surrounded by ranch land currently operated by the fifth generation of the original owners. Archaeological surveys have identified no significant artifacts or sites in the Project area.
Significant scarcity value: CK is one of the few fully permitted large-scale precious metals projects in the U.S. at the Feasibility Study level and is actively being advanced.
Visibility on short and long-term growth: Significant measured and indicated resource material has been excluded from the initial mine plan to avoid impacting a dry drainage channel. With known resources at depth, mine expansion at depth and along strike will be the focus of future plans and expansion to the permitted activity; CK is one of the few permitted undeveloped gold and copper resources in the U.S. with a discernable pathway to expansion.
Aggregate Potential: Additional revenue from aggregate production has largely been excluded from the feasibility study. Anticipate increased aggregate sales into the Rocky Mountain region as the gold and copper mine progresses.
Reclamation Savings: Potential to reduce reclamation costs as the city and state consider the use of the ultimate pit as recreation and water reservoir.
Excellent timing: With the FS now complete and full permits in hand, the Project is positioned to advance in a current gold–copper-silver price environment that is one of the strongest in history, supported by favorable U.S. sentiment toward domestic production and mineral security tailwinds.”
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 opportunity to provide rock aggregate to the local market and beyond.”
Furthermore:
“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."”
In addition, most recently, the company announced:
“U.S. Gold Corp. Highlights Additional Value Opportunities Beyond CK Gold Project Feasibility Study”
US 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 opportunities 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."
Mine Expansion Potential:
The current FS mine plan reflects a pit constrained by permitting boundaries that were intentionally constrained to ensure only state approval was required, leaving meaningful upside:
Approximately 900,000* AuEq oz of mineral resource not included in the feasibility study production schedule but within the mineral resource pit. Existing resources below the current pit can be incorporated through future permit amendments. At current recoveries this represents over 500,000 AuEq oz of additional production potential.
Metallurgical Upside:
Test work indicates potential to increase gold recoveries from ~70% to roughly 95% through cyanidation of flotation tailings which could add:
~250,000 oz of recovered gold from the current mine plan with an additional ~225,000 Au oz potential from an expanded pit.
Resource Expansion Potential:
CK's resource is drill constrained and not economically constrained. Several resource expansion opportunities will be pursued over time including:
Inferred Conversion & Step-Out Growth: Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike
District-Scale Potential: Located within the historic Silver Crown Mining District with several past producing underground mines providing nearby targets
We believe USAU could be positioned for a big breakout higher.
