CK Gold Project

More than mining jobs: The CK Gold Project is expected to employ 255 full-time workers during operations, but the economic impact reaches well beyond the mine site. For every direct job created at CK Gold, at least five indirect jobs are expected to be supported.

That means local contractors, truck drivers, mechanics, suppliers, security teams and other businesses can all play a role in supporting day-to-day operations.

Check out what’s next for CK Gold as US Gold Corp.'s Executive Chairman Luke Norman discusses the CK Gold Project’s development plans, financing and long-term potential right here in the Cowboy State.

US Gold Corp Advances CK Gold Build and Keystone Spin Out U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) continues to advance its CK Gold Pro...

Wyoming knows how to build.

With major permits in hand, the CK Gold Project is moving closer to construction. US Gold Corp. is finalizing engineering, looking for ways to improve efficiency and working toward project financing.

If financing is secured in the near term, construction could begin in spring 2027, bringing the project another step closer to Wyoming jobs, Wyoming production and a new chapter for mining in the Cowboy State.

September is a busy month for US Gold Corp. as the team meets with investors and industry leaders across the country. Building support and securing investment are important steps toward moving the CK Gold project into construction and ultimately creating new jobs and investment in southeast Wyoming.

U.S. Gold Corp. (Nasdaq: $USAU) is heading into a busy September, participating in four key investor conferences across the United States.

📍 September 9–10 — Moody Capital Solutions, Inc. Disruptive Growth & Life Sciences Conference | New York City

📍 September 14–16 — H.C. Wainwright 28th Annual Global Investment Conference | New York City

📍 September 22–25 — 2026 Precious Metals Summit Beaver Creek | Beaver Creek, Colorado

📍 September 27–30 — Mining Forum Americas 2026 | Colorado Springs, Colorado

Our team looks forward to connecting with investors, analysts and industry peers while highlighting the advancement of our fully permitted CK Gold Project in Wyoming, along with the exploration potential of our Keystone Project in Nevada and Challis Gold Project in Idaho.

September provides an important opportunity to share the U.S. Gold Corp. story with the investment community as we continue advancing our U.S.-focused gold and copper portfolio.

🪏We’re ready for what’s next.

The CK Gold Project is fully permitted, shovel-ready and positioned to bring new jobs, tax revenue and mineral production to Wyoming.

From Wyoming to America’s supply chain, we’re ready to help power the next chapter of our state’s proud mining tradition.

America’s future will run on copper.

The International Energy Agency’s 2026 Global Critical Minerals Outlook project that copper supply could fall about 25% short of demand by 2035 based on today’s project pipeline. The report also points to copper’s growing importance across power infrastructure, advanced technology and other strategic industries.

The CK Gold Project is positioned to help add a new domestic source of copper while supporting a stronger, more secure U.S. mineral supply chain.

Gold prices move, but strong projects like the CK Gold Mine are built to last.

CK Gold’s feasibility study used a conservative gold price and still delivered strong project economics.

Gold's 3% Pullback Tests Whether Record Central Bank Buying Can Sustain Upside

Gold slipped about 3% from its three-month high after September rate-increase odds moved above 40%. Central banks didn't flinch.

They purchased a net 289 tonnes in Q2 2026 — the strongest second quarter on record and up 62% year over year — while the average LBMA price sat 8% below the prior quarter's record. Buying spread across Poland, China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and the Czech Republic, and exceeded gold-backed ETF outflows by more than six to one.

That demand landed against a supply base that can't respond quickly. Global mine production rose just 2% year over year to 966 tonnes, meaning official-sector buying alone absorbed roughly 30% of quarterly output.

We've built CK Gold for that environment rather than for a peak. Our March 2026 feasibility study uses a $3,250/oz base case — well below the roughly $3,800 analyst consensus — and still delivers a $632 million after-tax NPV5% and a 27% after-tax IRR.

Day-to-day moves follow the Fed. Project economics should hold up either way.

A look back at an important step in the journey: test blasts at the CK Gold Project site four years ago helped confirm expert analysis that blasting can be conducted safely and without impacting nearby property or infrastructure. The results guided future mine planning and design.

With major permits secured, road construction underway and a strong 2026 Feasibility Study, the CK Gold Project is gaining attention from potential partners and buyers as it moves closer to a final construction decision.

US Gold Corp Evaluates M&A Interest as CK Gold Project Advances

Completing state permitting changed the conversation.

With the Mine Operating Permit and air quality permit secured and access road construction already underway, U.S. Gold Corp (NASDAQ: USAU) has drawn interest from development capital providers and potential M&A counterparties. The board has formed a Special Committee and appointed financial advisors to weigh joint ventures, asset-level deals and corporate transactions against building CK Gold independently.

The March 2026 Feasibility Study puts the after-tax NPV at $632 million with a 27% IRR and 2.5-year payback, based on $3,250/oz gold and $4.50/lb copper. At recent spot gold near $4,500/oz, that NPV rises to roughly $1.37 billion and payback compresses to 1.6 years.

With about 16.5 million shares outstanding, per-share exposure to that value is unusually concentrated.

A final construction decision is targeted for the second half of 2026. Strategic discussions carry no guarantee of a completed transaction.
