US Gold's El Gallo Project Continues to Expand 7.9 opt Silver Over 179 Feet Including 23.3 opt Silver Over 30 Feet!
MINERALIZATION STARTS CLOSE TO SURFACE |
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 7, 2009) - US GOLD CORPORATION (NYSE Amex:UXG)(TSX:UXG) is pleased to announce results from six additional core holes (Table 1 & Figure 1) at the El Gallo project in Sinaloa State, Mexico. This core drilling has expanded the mineralization in two principal directions: 245 feet (ft) (75 meters (m)) to the northwest and 85 ft (25 m) to the southeast. The mineralization remains completely open and has grown to 1600 ft (485 meters) along strike. The most significant hole returned: 7.9 ounces of silver per ton (opt) (269.2 grams per tonne (gpt)) over 178.8 ft (54.5 m) including 23.3 opt Silver (800.1 gpt) over 30.2 ft (9.2 m).
A total of 33 core holes has been completed to date at El Gallo with 70% successfully intersecting silver grades greater than +14.5 opt (+500 gpt). Every hole drilled has encountered economically significant mineralization. We believe this is a strong validation of the high quality of the El Gallo discovery. In addition, recent drilling has returned wide zones of near surface mineralization that appears to be amenable to bulk tonnage mining.
Expanding the Mineralization to the East-Southeast
7.9 opt Silver (269.2 gpt) over 178.8 ft (54.5 m) including 23.3 opt Silver (800.1) over 30.2 ft (9.2 m)
Drilling east and southeast of previously released core holes has successfully intersected significant mineralization. Hole GAX032, which was drilled 65 ft (20 m) east of the previously released core holes returned 7.9 opt Silver (269.2 gpt) over 178.8 ft (54.5 m) including 23.3 opt Silver (800.1 gpt) over 30.2 ft (9.2 m). The excellent grades and widths returned from this hole helps demonstrate the potential to further expand the mineralization in this direction. This hole also extended the mineralization 85 ft (25 m) to the southeast. Highlights from this drilling are shown below.

Expanding the Mineralization to the Northwest
22.1 opt Silver (757.9 gpt) over 28.4 ft (8.7 m)
Two core holes were drilled with the objective of extending mineralization further to the northwest. These holes successfully expanded the mineralization by a total 245 ft (75 m), returning excellent grades and widths. The zone remains open and future drilling will test for lateral and depth extensions. The results from these two holes are highlighted below:

Testing for Continuity
Two core holes were drilled to test for lateral continuity along the west-central portion of the mineral zone. Both holes intersected strong mineralization, indicating that continuity is present. These holes are important because they fill in areas where drilling was previously too widely spaced to be included in the initial El Gallo resource estimate. Results from these two holes are listed below:

El Gallo is unique among silver discoveries due to its high-grades, long intercepts and close proximity to the surface. The latest results continue to demonstrate that El Gallo is growing rapidly. US Gold geologists believe there is excellent potential for mineralization at El Gallo to increase in size, based on the large soil anomaly that has been only partially tested and the excellent correlation between this anomaly and significant drill intercepts (Figure 2). (See Figure 3 for photograph of recent high grade core sample)
ABOUT US GOLD
US Gold Corporation is a Colorado incorporated gold and silver exploration company. It has a strong treasury, no debt and significant land holdings in Nevada next to Barrick's large Cortez Hills deposit along with a high grade silver/gold discovery in north-western Mexico. US Gold's shares trade on the NYSE Amex and Toronto Stock Exchanges under the symbol UXG.
QUALIFIED PERSON
This news release has been viewed and approved by Steve Brown, US Gold's Chief Geologist, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for program design and quality control of exploration undertaken by the Company at its Mexican exploration properties.
Samples from the core drilling were split on-site at the Magistral Mine property. One quarter of the split drill core was shipped to ALS Chemex in Hermosillo for sample preparation and analysis by 4-acid digestion with ICP determination for silver and fire assay for gold. Samples returning greater than 1500 ppm silver or 10 ppm gold were re-analyzed using gravimetric fire assay. Standards and blanks were inserted every 25 samples.
All holes were drilled with HQ bits utilizing a CS-1500 truck-mounted core drill. Samples were taken based on lithologic and/or mineralized intervals and vary in length. The true width of the mineral zone has not yet been determined. Samples from the geochemical survey were analyzed by US Gold's internal lab, located at the Magistral Mine property, Sinaloa Mexico, utilizing atomic absorption.
