US Gold Hits Significant Intercepts in Mexico
New High-Grade "El Gallo" Discovery: 22.2 opt Silver Over 5 ft, Within 13.2 opt Silver Over 15 ft
Palmarito Returns Richest Grades Yet: 24.4 opt Silver Over 5 ft, Within 8.5 opt Silver Over 75 ft |
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2008) - US GOLD CORPORATION (TSX:UXG)(NYSE-A:UXG)(FRANKFURT:US8) announces that recent conventional rotary drilling in the Magistral District, Sinaloa, Mexico has intersected high-grade silver in two locations (Figure 1). The first location is a new discovery called El Gallo. The best intercept from El Gallo returned 22.2 ounces per ton (opt) silver over 5 feet (ft) (760.0 grams per tonne (gpt) silver over 1.5 meters (m)), within 13.2 opt silver over 15 ft (453.0 gpt silver over 4.6 m). The second, Palmarito's new Southwest Zone, has returned the richest silver grades since US Gold began exploration at the project: 24.4 opt silver over 5 ft. (836.0 gpt silver over 1.5 m), within 8.5 opt silver over 75 ft (291.9 silver over 22.9 m). Mineralization in both areas starts close to surface.
"US Gold's exploration continues to find higher-grades in unexplored areas. We are increasing our exploration effort in Mexico as our latest results have us very encouraged. One of our objectives this year, besides finding economic gold deposits, has been to drive down the cost of exploration. The steps we have taken to accomplish this goal have certainly given us a competitive edge," states Rob McEwen, Chairman and CEO of US Gold.
EL GALLO - New Discovery
High-Grade, Near Surface: 22.2 opt (760.0 gpt) Silver over 5 ft (1.5 m)
El Gallo is located within the Magistral District on the northern half of US Gold's property. No modern exploration is believed to have taken place in the area, illustrating the regions excellent potential for additional discoveries. Early results from El Gallo have US Gold's geologists encouraged. Drilling occurred in what appears to be a large stockwork vein system, with significant amounts of quartz occurring over a broad area. Soil sampling, mapping and geophysics are currently being carried out to better understand the nature of the mineralization.
Initial conventional rotary drilling designed to test the areas potential has returned the following results:

US Gold believes these early results demonstrate the projects ability to produce high-grades that are near surface. More results are expected to be released within the next two weeks. Approximately 4,800 ft (1,450 m) of additional conventional rotary drilling has since been completed at El Gallo.
PALMARITO - New Southwest Zone Delivers Highest Grades Yet
Intersections Up To 24.4 opt (836.0 gpt) Silver over 5 ft (1.5 m)
On November 5th US Gold announced it had successfully intersected a new mineralized area at Palmarito called the Southwest Zone (Figure 2). The initial hole from this zone returned 6.9 opt silver over 25.0 ft. (236.6 gpt silver over 7.6 m), including 12.2 opt silver over 5.0 ft. (418.0 gpt silver over 1.5 m). Further conventional rotary drilling designed to expand the mineralization was successful and extended the zone to the north and south by approximately 275 ft. (85 m). The zone remains open to the north, south and west.
The results below include the highest silver grades returned from Palmarito drilling since US Gold's exploration program began. The most significant intersection from this drilling returned 24.4 opt silver over 5 ft. (836.0 gpt silver over 1.5 m), within 8.5 opt silver over 75 ft (291.9 silver over 22.9 m).
