US Gold Corporation: El Gallo Continues to Grow Rapidly More Thick Intercepts & Good Grade

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
US GOLD CORPORATION (NYSE Amex: UXG) (TSX: UXG) is pleased to announce
additional core drilling results that have expanded the mineralization
(Fig. 1) at the El Gallo Project in Sinaloa State, Mexico. The three best
holes of the eight assayed since the last update on March 24, 2010 are:
3.7 ounces of silver per ton (opt) over 266.9 ft (feet) (125.6 grams per
tonne silver over 81.4 meters (m), 8.0 opt silver over 75.6 ft (273.8 gpt
silver over 23.1 m) and 21.1 opt silver over 26.6 ft (725.1 gpt silver
over 8.1 m).

Main Zone - Thick Intersections of Good Grade Continue

Mineralization Open in Several Directions

Drilling in the Main Zone successfully extended the mineralization in
several directions (Fig. 1, 3). Core hole GAX100, which intersected three
thick zones, successfully extended the mineralization encountered in
GAX055 (11.4 opt silver over 368.8 ft (390.3 gpt over 117.9 m - Released
Feb 11, 2010) by approximately 130 ft (40 m) to the north (Fig. 3).

Core hole GAX122 was drilled to extend the mineralization beyond hole
GAX057 (8.3 opt silver over 128.8 ft (283.4 gpt over 39.3 m - Released
March 1, 2010), which is the furthest hole drilled along strike to the
southeast. This hole was drilled from the same collar location as GAX057
and successfully widened the zone by approximately 80 ft (25 m). US
Gold's geologists believe the potential to find additional mineralization
is excellent since the zone remains open in several directions.
Highlights from this drilling are shown below.

Possible Parallel Zone: High Grades Encountered at Surface and at Depth

Hole GAX103 encountered two intersections of mineralization (Fig. 4). The
first intersection, starting at approximately 280 ft (85 m) below
surface, is believed to be the continuation of the Main Zone at depth.
The second intersection, starting from surface, appears to be a separate
mineralized structure that parallels the Main Zone. Ongoing drilling will
look to expand the mineralization in both areas. Highlights from drilling
in this area are shown below.

Continuity of Near Surface Mineralization Confirmed

Increasing the Confidence Level

Ongoing delineation drilling continues to encounter good grade starting
near surface. Near surface mineralization at El Gallo is common
throughout the project area.

Geological Technical Description of El Gallo

El Gallo is a low-sulfidation, epithermal silver deposit located within
the Pie de la Sierra physiographic province of the Sierra Madre
Occidental Range which is part of a Cretaceous to Tertiary magmatic arc
with volcanic and associated sedimentary rocks that extends for hundreds
of miles through northwestern Mexico. Cretaceous-Tertiary volcanic and
volcaniclastic rocks rest upon a basement of Paleozoic and Mesozoic
sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Intrusives of Late Cretaceous and
Tertiary age cut these rocks locally. Regionally, these intrusives are
dominated by the granitic Sinaloa Batholith. El Gallo project is located
near the margin of the Sinaloa Batholith. Other shallow-level porphyritic
intrusives also occur within the project area. Silver mineralization is
hosted in breccia and stockwork zones that occur primarily in the
andesitic volcanic and intrusive rocks and to a lesser extent in quartz
monzonite porphyry intrusive rocks. The shape of the mineralization has
not yet been fully defined.

QUALIFIED PERSON

This news release has been viewed and approved by John Read, US Gold's
consulting 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 Company's
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 20 samples.

All angle 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.
