U.S. Gold Corp. Advances Exploration Activities at its CK Gold Project
Rhea-AI Summary
U.S. Gold (Nasdaq: USAU) completed an updated 325-line km drone-based geo-magnetic survey over its CK Gold Project near Cheyenne, Wyoming. New magnetic anomalies, aligned with known mineralization and the historical Copper King Mine trend, are being interpreted and will guide resource expansion drilling plans.
A gravity survey by Zonge is planned for late July over the same area. With the CK Gold feasibility study published and the project fully permitted for development, exploration is shifting to testing deeper and nearby targets that could expand the proposed pit and resources.

Drilling program being developed to test mineral resource expansion adjacent and below the proposed pit and to follow up new nearby magnetic anomalies
CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Gold Corp. ("U.S. Gold," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") (Nasdaq: USAU) is pleased to announce that the Company recently completed an updated and enlarged geo-magnetic survey conducted by Zonge International, Inc. ("Zonge"),
USAU recognizes that copper and gold mineralization extends beyond the current drilling. A mineral resource drilling program is being developed to test mineralization at depth below the existing pit shell as well as new targets identified through the current geophysical program outside of the proposed pit footprint.
Initial results from the current, more focused and expanded survey, extend magnetic anomalies revealed by a ground magnetometer survey conducted in 2017. These anomalies suggest additional structures and magnetite-altered zones potentially capable of hosting gold/copper mineralization. The anomalous areas follow a strong northwesterly structural fabric. This is significant as mineralization at CK Gold is shown to have a high magnetic signature.
Wright Geophysics has been contracted to complete advanced interpretation of the new data. A gravity survey is planned to be conducted by Zonge in late July over the same area. The objective is to identify similar rock packages that host the mineralization at CK Gold and investigate nearby known mineralization from historical mining. This geophysical activity is anticipated to be the precursor of future drilling programs.
"We are excited to see the additional anomalies similar to the historical Copper King Mine", said Mr. Kevin Francis, U.S. Gold's VP Exploration & Technical Services. He continued, "We expect this information will lead to new exploration efforts to test these anomalous target areas."
Mr. George Bee, President and CEO added,
"With the initial CK Gold Project Feasibility Study now published and our fully permitted project moving to development, we can now turn attention to both the potential to expand the pit into known mineralization through conversion of our resources into reserves, and to explore into areas of former mining of high-grade ore conducted by the original developers of the Silver Crown Mining District".
The magnetic anomalies immediately southeast of the Copper King Mine are on trend but are under cover of the Oligocene White River Formation, suggesting a significant amplitude to these areas through that cover. Additional areas of potential interest occur along linear anomalies across the project area.
