TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 12, 2009) - US GOLD CORPORATION (TSX:UXG)(NYSE Amex:UXG) (the "Company" or "US Gold"), a U.S. and Mexico focused gold and silver exploration company, announced today the pricing of its previously announced public offering of common stock pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and a shelf prospectus filed with certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The Company has agreed to increase the number of shares sold by 10 percent to 22.0 million shares at a price of US$2.00 per share. The Company has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 3.3 million additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. Proceeds to the Company from the offering, net of commissions and expenses, are expected to be approximately US$40.8 million (assuming the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised). The offering is expected to close on May 19, 2009. US Gold intends to use the majority of the net proceeds of this offering to fund its ongoing exploration in Nevada's Cortez Trend and in Mexico, as more particularly described in the final prospectus supplement dated May 12, 2009, filed with the SEC and Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. GMP Securities L.P. and Dahlman Rose & Company, LLC are acting as joint book-runners for the offering.
