ELKO, Nevada, December 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

- U.S. Gold Corp. is approaching completion of a 6-hole, target-test, reverse circulation drilling program of approximately 10,000 feet (approx. 3,500m) 

- The drill program is testing a number of important target localities that were previously inaccessible because of permitting limitations 

- Drill samples are being sent to Bureau Veritas Laboratories, Reno, NV for assay and detailed geochemical analyses. Results from all the holes are expected by mid to end January, 2019

U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU), a gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the pending completion of the late Autumn 2018 drilling program at its 20 square mile, Keystone project, in Nevada's Cortez Trend. This drill program is testing several quality drill targets in areas of completed detailed geology, surface geochemistry, geophysics, and target synthesis. Up to this point in time, the bulk of the Keystone project area was inaccessible to drilling exploration because of severely limited surface disturbance restrictions of about 5 acres per 4 square miles of area. The Keystone Environmental Assessment (EA) and Plan of Operation (POO) were approved by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on September 7, and subsequent archeological surveys preparatory to road and site building were signed off by the BLM and Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP). Access and the drill sites were constructed, and drilling the six new sites is in progress.

Dave Mathewson, U.S. Gold Corp.'s Vice President of Exploration, states: "Our Autumn 2018 Keystone drilling program is moving along. The weather has started to change at Keystone in Nevada and the snows have made us call a pending end to the program. We are pleased to likely complete the drill testing of 6 target sites in this late Autumn program (see attached map: https://www.usgoldcorp.gold/keystone-autumn-drilling.jpg). We will be eagerly awaiting the assay results and are hopeful to have all of them by mid to late January, 2019. We will keep the market updated as soon as results are in and analyzed."
