U.S. Gold Corp. Provides 2018 Copper King Drill Program Update

ELKO, Nev., Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU), a gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that the Copper King drilling program for 2018 is underway.  This program, comprised of two phases, has begun with an initial phase of up to 10 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes for a total of up to 10,000 feet (3,050 meters).  Primarily, the phase 1 program is focusing on last year's newly discovered zone of mineralization indicated by hole CK17-01rc drilled late last year.  The hole was a 200-meter step out from the historically drill defined "Main Zone" at Copper King.

AK Drilling, Inc. of Butte Montana has deployed a reverse circulation drill rig to the Copper King property.  Recent photos of the 2018 phase 1 drilling program are available at:

Holes CK18-01rc, CK18-02rc, CK18-03rc and CK10-04rc have been completed.  Drilling continues to test the western expansion potential of the Copper King main zone resource.  The below image shows the 2018 phase 1 summer drill program:    

Dave Mathewson, Vice President of Exploration for U.S. Gold Corp. states: "2018 is an exciting time for our Copper King exploration programs.  Last year's drill hole, CK17-01rc, was a single hole test of a strong chargeability anomaly west of the Copper King main zone obtained in our 2017 IP (induced polarization) survey.  The hole suggested the potential presence of significant copper-gold mineralization to the west of the Copper King "Main Zone" on the Copper King Project.   U.S. Gold Corp. has launched an initial first phase 2018 summer drilling program of up to 10 holes, each to about 1000 feet. This year's drill program represents a considerable step-up on the 2017 program and we look forward to the prospect of potentially building a significantly greater metal endowment on the Copper King project.  We are pleased with the 2018 drilling so far.  We anticipated finishing the first phase drilling towards the end of August and hope to have assay results out as soon as available."
