(\"U.S. Gold,\" the \"Company,\" \"we,\" \"our\" or \"us\") (NASDAQ: USAU) is pleased to provide an update on the status of its preparations to file mine construction and operating permits for its CK Gold Project, within the next few months for consideration by the State of Wyoming authorities, principally the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) and the Office of State Lands and Investments.

Since that date, there have been two follow-up meetings and site visits with the agency to provide status and information related to the studies being undertaken. In September 2020, a local Wyoming company, Trihydro, started baseline studies covering surface and sub-surface water, soil, fauna, flora, and cultural/archeological surveys. As a result, there are now over 20-months of project area environmental monitoring data that complements the wider data research characterizing conditions in the local environment. Studies assessing the impacts of the proposed project have been prepared and are being collated into the permit application, which we expect to submit to the authorities in the coming months.
