Description: USAU US Gold January 01, 2026

U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) focuses on exploring, evaluating, and developing gold-centric mineral projects in the United States, holding 100 % ownership of three primary assets: the CK gold project in Wyoming (≈1,120 acres), the Keystone project in Nevada (≈20 sq mi), and the Challis gold project in Idaho (≈1,710 acres). The firm also retains a 0.5 % royalty on the Maggie Creek copper-gold project in Nevada. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Elko, Nevada, USAU is classified under the Diversified Metals & Mining sub-industry.

Recent operational metrics indicate that the Keystone project reported a 2023 drill program intersecting an average of 0.8 g/t Au over 12 m, suggesting a potential near-surface resource expansion. The company’s cash position stood at roughly $4.5 million at year-end 2023, sufficient to fund ongoing exploration without immediate dilution. Macro-level drivers include the sustained upward trend in gold prices (≈ $2,100/oz in Q4 2023) and the U.S. administration’s “Buy American” mineral policy, which could enhance permitting speed for domestic gold projects.
