INDEX
EXPLANATORY
NOTE
U.S.
Gold Corp. (the “Company”) will not be filing its definitive proxy materials for its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 120 days after the end of its fiscal year ended April
30, 2024.
Accordingly,
pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-K, this Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended April 30, 2024 (this “2024 Form 10-K/A”) is being filed to include the Part III information required under the instructions
to Form 10-K and the general rules and regulations under the Exchange Act.
This
2024 Form 10-K/A amends and restates only Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, and amends Part IV, Item 15 of the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, which was originally filed with the SEC on July 29, 2024 (the “2024
Form 10-K”). No other Items of the 2024 Form 10-K filing have been amended or revised in this 2024 Form 10-K/A, and all such other
Items shall be as set forth in the 2024 Form 10-K filing.
In
addition, no other information has been updated for any subsequent events occurring after July 29, 2024, the date of filing of the 2024
Form 10-K. As used in this 2024 Form 10-K/A, references to “U.S. Gold,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,”
or “us” mean U.S. Gold Corp., our predecessors and consolidated subsidiaries, or any one or more of them, as the context
requires.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Some
information contained in or incorporated by reference into this 2024 Form 10-K/A may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concern our anticipated results
and developments in our operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of our properties, plans related to our business
and other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts
of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. These statements include, but are not limited
to, comments regarding:
| ● | The
timing of the preparation, filing, and satisfaction of the conditions of our mine construction
and operating permits for the CK Gold Project; |
| ● | The
timing and process of completing conditions surrounding our approved mine operating permit
and closure plan for the CK Gold Project; |
| ● | The
assumptions and projections contained in the CK Gold Project Prefeasibility Study, including
estimated mineral resources and mineral reserves, mine life, projected operating and capital
costs, projected production, internal rate of return (“IRR”) and Net Present
Value (“NPV”) calculations, and the possibility of upside potential at the project; |
| ● | The
planned extensions of our leases; |
| ● | Our
planned expenditures during our fiscal year ended April 30, 2025; |
| ● | Future
exploration plans and expectations related to our properties; |
| ● | Our
ability to fund our business through April 30, 2025 with our current cash reserves based
on our currently planned activities; |
| ● | Our
anticipation of future environmental and regulatory impacts; and |
| ● | Our
business and operating strategies. |
We
use the words “anticipate,” “continue,” “likely,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,”
“could,” “will,” “project,” “should,” “believe” and similar expressions (including
the negative and grammatical variations thereof) to identify forward-looking statements. Statements that contain these words discuss
our future expectations and plans, or state other forward-looking information. Although we believe the expectations and assumptions reflected
in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.
Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors described in this 2024 Form 10-K/A, including:
| ● | Unfavorable
results from our exploration activities; |
| ● | Decreases
in gold, copper or silver prices; |
| ● | Whether
we are able to raise the necessary capital required to continue our business on terms acceptable
to us or at all, and the likely negative effect of volatility in metals prices or unfavorable
exploration results; |
| ● | Whether
we will be able to begin to mine and sell minerals successfully or profitably at any of our
current properties at current or future metals prices; |
| ● | Potential
delays in our exploration activities or other activities to advance properties towards mining
resulting from environmental consents or permitting delays or problems, accidents, problems
with contractors, disputes under agreements related to exploration properties, unanticipated
costs and other unexpected events; |
| ● | Our
ability to retain key management and mining personnel necessary to successfully operate and
grow our business; |
| ● | Economic
and political events affecting the market prices for gold, copper, silver, and other minerals
that may be found on our exploration properties; |
| ● | Volatility
in the market price of our common stock; and |
| ● | The
factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the 2024 Form 10-K. |
Many
of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known to us. Consequently,
forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from
the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of
this 2024 Form 10-K/A. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements
to reflect future events or developments. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us and persons acting
on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this 2024 Form
10-K/A.

Family
Relationships
There
are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.
Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers, and stockholders who own more than 10% of our
stock to file forms with the SEC to report their ownership of our stock and any changes in ownership. We assist our directors and executive
officers by identifying reportable transactions of which it is aware and preparing and filing their forms on their behalf. All persons
required to file forms with the SEC must also send copies of the forms to us. We have reviewed all forms provided to us. Based on that
review and on written information given to us by our executive officers and directors, we believe that all Section 16(a) filings during
the past fiscal year were filed on a timely basis and that all directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial owners have fully complied
with such requirements during the past fiscal year except for one late Form 3 filing for Johanna Fipke, a member of our Board, which
was filed late as a result of an administrative oversight.
Code
of Ethics
We
have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer,
principal accounting officer, and those of our officers performing similar functions. The full text of our code of ethics can be found
on the Corporate Governance page under the Investors section of our website at www.usgoldcorp.gold. In the event that the Board
approves an amendment to or waiver from any provision of our code of ethics, we will disclose the required information pertaining to
such amendment or waiver on our website.
Insider
Trading Policy
We
have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other disposition of our securities by our directors, officers,
employees and other covered persons. We believe this policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules,
and regulations, and the Nasdaq’s listing standards. A copy of this policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this 2024 Form 10-K/A.
Committees

Our
Board has four standing committees: (1) Audit (the “Audit Committee”), (2) Compensation (the “Compensation Committee”),
(3) Nominating and Governance (the “Nominating and Governance Committee) and (4) Technical (the “Technical Committee”).
The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee are solely comprised of and chaired by independent
directors, each of whom the Board has affirmatively determined is independent pursuant to the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC. The Board has adopted a written charter setting forth the authority and responsibilities of each committee and each of the committees
operates pursuant to its charter. The committee charters are reviewed annually by the Nominating and Governance Committee. If appropriate,
and in consultation with the chairs of the other committees, the Nominating and Governance Committee proposes revisions to the charters.
The responsibilities of each committee are described in more detail below. Each of the committee charters are available on our website
at www.usgoldcorp.gold by following the link to “Investors” and then to “Corporate Governance.”
Audit
Committee
Our
Audit Committee currently consists of the following members: Michael Waldkirch, Robert W. Schafer and Johanna Fipke. Mr. Waldkirch serves

Reviewing
and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of our officers and directors, including the Chief Executive
Officer; |

Overseeing
and administering the Company’s executive compensation plans, including equity-based awards; |
|
● |
Negotiating
and overseeing employment agreements with officers and directors; and |
|
● |
Overseeing
how the Company’s compensation policies and practices may affect the Company’s risk management practices and/or risk-taking
incentives. |
Pursuant
to its charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate its responsibilities to subcommittees if the Compensation Committee

Director
Compensation
The
Compensation Committee periodically evaluates the compensation of directors and recommends compensation changes to the Board as appropriate.
We currently pay members of our Board $6,000 per quarter in cash. Prior to April 30, 2023, we also compensated our Board through the
issuance of RSUs. Additionally, our Audit Committee chair receives $2,500 per quarter and all other committee chairs receive $2,000 per
quarter. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional cash compensation or equity compensation for serving on the
Board.
While
the Company does not require directors and officers to own a specific minimum number of shares of the Company’s common stock, the
Company believes that each director and corporate officer should have a substantial personal investment in the Company. Under the Company’s
Insider Trading Policy, it is improper for directors to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company’s securities.
The
following table sets forth information concerning director compensation during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 paid or provided
to each of our non-employee directors who served in such capacity at any time during the most recent fiscal year. Other than as set forth
in the table, we did not pay any compensation, reimburse any expense of, make any equity awards or non-equity awards to, or pay any other
compensation to any of the other members of our Board in such period.

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The
Audit Committee has responsibility for reviewing and, if appropriate, for approving any related party transactions that would be required
to be disclosed pursuant to applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews
of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However,
to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Audit Committee, the Company expects that the Audit Committee
would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party and would have the opportunity
to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Audit Committee would only approve a related
party transaction that was in the best interests of, and fair to, the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related
party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party.
Described
below are any transactions during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 and any currently proposed transactions to which the
Company was a party in which the amounts involved exceeded, or will exceed, the lower of either $120,000 or 1% of the average of our
total assets as of fiscal years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023.
Apart
from any transactions disclosed herein and the agreements with our executive officers as disclosed under “Executive Officers—Narrative
Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table” above, no such transaction was entered into with any related person during the last two
fiscal years. Such transactions were entered into and will be entered into only if found to be in our best interest and approved in accordance
with our Code of Ethics, which is available on our website.
For
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, we entered into the following transactions:
|
● |
Under the March 2023 Norman Extension, we paid a total of $120,000 in cash for consulting fees to Mr. Norman during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. |
For
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, we entered into the following transactions:
|
● |
On
March 19, 2021, we entered into a consulting agreement (the “March 2021 Karr Agreement”)
with Edward Karr pursuant to which Mr. Karr is to provide general corporate advisory services
to the Company. On March 10, 2022, we extended the March 2021 Karr Agreement for an additional
12 months (the “March 2022 Karr Agreement”). On March 17, 2023, we further extended
the March 2021 Karr Agreement for an additional 12 months (the “March 2023 Karr Extension”).
The terms of the March 2023 Karr Extension remain the same as stipulated in the March 2021
Karr Agreement. In consideration for the services provided pursuant to the March 2023 Karr
Extension, Mr. Karr is to be paid an annual fee of $180,000 consisting of shares of the Company’s
common stock with a value of $60,000, payable withing five days of the effective date of
the March 2023 Karr Extension, and cash payments of $120,000, paid in increments of $10,000
per month. In March 2023, and in connection with the March 2023 Karr Extension, we issued
15,424 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Karr. We paid a total
of $180,000 in cash and shares for consulting fees to Mr. Karr during the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2023.

On
March 10, 2023, we entered into the March 2023 Norman Extension. We paid a total of $250,000

the January 2022 Zinke Extension, we paid a total of $24,000 in cash for consulting fees to Mr. Zinke during the fiscal year ended

Independence
of Directors
Our
Board is currently comprised of five members, three of whom are independent directors. The Board, upon recommendation of the Nominating
and Governance Committee, unanimously determined that each of Messrs. Schafer and Waldkirch and Ms. Fipke are “independent,”
as such term is defined in the Stock Market Rules.
The
definition of “independent director” included in the Stock Market Rules includes a series of objective tests, such as that
the director is not an employee of the Company, has not engaged in various types of specified business dealings with the Company, and
does not have an affiliation with an organization that has had specified business dealings with the Company. Consistent with the Company’s
corporate governance principles, the Board’s determination of independence is made in accordance with the Stock Market Rules, as
the Board has not adopted supplemental independence standards. As required by the Stock Market Rules, the Board also has made a subjective
determination with respect to each director that such director does not have a relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would
interfere with exercising independent judgment in carrying out such director’s responsibilities, even if the director otherwise
satisfies the objective independence tests included in the definition of an “independent director” included in the Stock
Market Rules.
In
determining that each individual who served as a member of the Board is independent, the Board considered (i) relationships and transactions
involving directors or their affiliates or immediate family members that would be required to be disclosed as related party transactions
and (ii) other relationships and transactions involving directors or their affiliates or immediate family members that did not rise to
the level of requiring such disclosure, of which there were none.

Audit Committee are set forth in a written charter adopted by the Board, which is available on our website at www.usgoldcorp.gold/board-committees.
The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting, retaining and determining the compensation of our independent public accountant,
approving the services they will perform, and reviewing the performance of the independent public accountant. The Audit Committee reviews
with management and our independent public accountant our annual financial statements on Form 10-K and our quarterly financial statements
on Forms 10-Q. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the charter annually and recommends any changes to the Board for approval.
