US Gold Corporation: El Gallo Delivers Exceptional High-Grade Core Drill Results From Surface!
31.6 opt Silver Over 104.0 ft
Incl. 176.3 opt Silver over 14.9 ft, Incl. 305.1 opt Silver Over 3.9 ft |
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 2, 2009) - US GOLD CORPORATION (TSX:UXG)(NYSE Alternext US:UXG)(FRANKFURT:US8) is pleased to announce new step out drilling has intersected exceptional high-grade mineralization over excellent widths at the El Gallo project in Sinaloa State, Mexico!
DRILL RESULT HIGHLIGHTS (See Figure 1 for Hole Locations)
- Core drilling has intersected the highest silver values and thickest intersection to date! A step out hole located 165.0 ft (50.0 m) west of previous drilling returns 31.6 opt silver (1,082.4 gpt silver) over 104.0 ft (31.7 m), including 176.3 opt silver (6,046.1 gpt silver) over 14.9 ft (4.6 m) and including 305.1 opt silver (10,461.0 gpt silver) over 3.9 ft (1.2m). Mineralization starts from surface!
- Core drilling has confirmed conventional rotary drill results, in addition to locating a new deeper zone: 46.5 opt silver (1,593.2 gpt silver), 1.0 opt gold (32.8 gpt gold) over 16.1 ft (4.9 m).
- Conventional rotary drilling along the east area of the vein has returned excellent results: 13.8 opt silver (471.6 gpt silver) over 90.0 ft (27.4 m), including 38.5 opt silver (1,320.0 gpt silver) over 5.0 ft (1.5 m).
- Conventional rotary drilling has discovered a new high-grade area in the southwest part of the project: 25.9 opt silver (886.5 gpt silver), 0.17 opt gold (5.7 gpt gold) over 20.0 ft (6.1 m).
El Gallo: The Power of High-Grade!
In order to test the ultimate potential of El Gallo's high-grade mineralization, US Gold is undertaking an aggressive core and reverse circulation drill program. Results for an additional four core holes have been received. The most significant hole intersected 31.6 opt silver (1,082.4 gpt silver) over 104.0 ft (31.7 m), including 176.3 opt silver (6,046.1 gpt silver) over 14.9 ft (4.6 m) and including 305.1 opt silver (10,461.0 gpt silver) over 3.9 ft (1.2 m) expanding the strike length of the mineralization by 165.0 ft (50.0 m) to the west of the previous drilling. This hole returned the highest silver values and longest intercept to date from El Gallo, indicating that there is excellent potential to further expand the size of the discovery. The strike length of the mineralization has now been extended to 1,475.0 ft (450.0 m) and the mineralization remains open in every direction.
The three remaining core holes were designed to confirm the initial conventional rotary drilling and to prepare a Canadian NI 43-101 resource estimate. Hole GAX008, which returned 46.5 opt silver (1593.2 gpt silver), 1.0 opt gold (32.8 gpt gold) over 16.1 ft (4.9 m), is important because US Gold believes it may have intersected the top of a high grade gold-silver ore shoot. This hole also extended the shallow dipping zone to the north returning 10.8 opt silver (370.5 gpt silver) over 34.4 ft (10.5 m) and has intersected a possible new zone at depth, 17.4 opt silver (595.0 gpt silver) over 7.1 ft (2.2 m).

(1)Numbers may not balance due to rounding
In order to help delineate the orientation of the mineralization a conventional rotary hole was drilled 16.5 ft (5.0 m) from core hole GAX010. US Gold's early interpretation suggests the mineralization strikes east-west with north-south faults offsetting the zone. It is important to note that the area immediately north of this drilling includes an exciting geochemical soil anomaly that returned the highest silver values from US Gold's ongoing soil sampling program, indicating there is potential to further extend the high-grade mineralization. Highlights from this hole included:

East Area Continues to Deliver
A series of conventional rotary holes were designed to determine the direction of the mineralization in the east part of the vein. Outcrops in this area of the project suggest the high-grade may have been faulted to the south. Conventional rotary drilling to test this hypothesis encountered significant grades and widths. Further drilling is on-going in order to further expand the mineralization. Results are listed below:

New High-Grade Area Demonstrates Early Potential!
Geochemical surface sampling in the southwest part of the project indentified a historical mine working that appears to be a continuation of the main mineralized structure. Rock chip samples from the working returned encouraging grades. A series of conventional rotary holes were drilled across the structure with two returning very significant values.

"With each new drill hole El Gallo is looking more like a significant high-grade discovery! It is important to note US Gold controls 550,000 acres immediately around El Gallo. With this type of grade, our regional exploration will be increased drastically. US Gold is becoming an interesting exploration story," stated Rob McEwen, Chairman and CEO of US Gold.
ABOUT US GOLD
US Gold Corporation is a United States based gold and silver exploration company exploring in northeastern Nevada and north-central Mexico. US Gold's shares trade on the NYSE Alternext and Toronto Stock Exchanges under the symbol UXG and on the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol US8.
QUALIFIED PERSON
This news release has been viewed and approved by Steve Brown, 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 prep 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 assays are uncut.
All core holes were drilled with HQ core utilizing a CS-1500 truck-mounted long-stroke 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.
All conventional rotary holes were sampled on 5.0 ft (1.5 m) intervals. The individual samples were then prepped on-site at the Magistral Mine and a coarse reject split shipped to ALS Chemex in Hermosillo for sample prep and analysis by fire assay for gold and 4-acid digestion with ICP determination for silver. Samples returning greater than 1500 ppm silver or 10 ppm gold were re-analyzed using gravimetric fire assay. Standards and blanks were inserted with every hole shipment. All assays are uncut.
