While most investors are chasing fleeting tech trends or speculative AI plays, the smart money—the legendary Eric Sprott, Terra Capital, and Phoenix Gold—are piling into something far more tangible: Gold and Copper.
Backed by the Trump administration’s fast-tracking of domestic mineral production, USAU has what most miners can only dream of: a fully permitted, shovel-ready gold-copper project in America’s mining heartland.
Copper is quickly becoming one of the most vital commodities of the 21st century.
As demand accelerates—driven by the global energy transition, infrastructure modernization, and growing electrification—analysts project copper usage will double by 2030 and surge even further by 2050. Yet, the U.S. faces a looming supply crunch, raising alarms about economic resilience and national security.
In response, President Trump recently signed an executive order recently imposing a 50% tariff on certain imported products made with copper—signaling a major push to boost domestic production of this critical metal. The move underscores copper’s grow˜˜ing strategic importance, particularly as it powers everything from electric vehicles to data centers to defense technologies.
This is just one reason why U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) could stand out.
As tariffs tilt the playing field in favor of domestic producers, and policymakers increasingly prioritize supply chain security, U.S. Gold Corp. could emerge as a key player in America's critical mineral future. With a strategically located and permitted project ready to deliver copper and gold, USAU may be uniquely positioned to benefit from the copper supercycle now underway!
U.S. Gold Corp has received yet another BULLIsh price target. This time from Paradigm Capital and for $16.50!
“We have forecast the future production of the CK Gold Project using the basic metrics (size/scope) in the December 2021 PFS but adjusted capex and operating costs to reflect current market conditions and arrive at a compelling project with an IRR of over 50% at US$2,600/oz gold. After allowing for future equity dilution for the development capex and giving some upside for the aggregate potential (as detailed in the Valuation section), we are initiating coverage of U.S. Gold with a Speculative Buy rating and US$16.50 target price.”

USAU also boasts the following price targets from other esteemed analysts:
Notable Canadian resource sector investor, Eric Sprott, Terra Capital Natural Resources Fund (Australia), and others that are holding long positions in the gold mining sector, have joined USAU’s long-term investors!
A self-proclaimed gold bull, Eric Sprott is a multi-billionaire that holds a significant portion of his assets in gold and silver. He is renowned for his expertise in precious metals, particularly gold, and he sees the potential of USAU!
Mr. Luke Norman, Chairman of the board of directors of U.S. Gold said, "We are gratified by the continued support from our long-standing investors along with the addition of some key resource sector investors who acknowledge the CK Gold Project opportunity. At a time when there are very few permitted projects in the pipeline ready to meet the growing demand for gold and copper production, we believe the importance of what the U.S. Gold team has accomplished is finally becoming recognized. Continued validation of our efforts, by way of investment from the caliber of investors such as Eric Sprott, Terra Capital, Phoenix Gold and all the other investors, should help to continue to increase our exposure internationally and domestically as we move this exciting project forward and continue to create value for our shareholders.”
U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) is a publicly traded, U.S.-focused gold and copper exploration and development company.
Its fully permitted CK Gold Project is located in Southeast Wyoming and has a Preliminary Feasibility Study technical report, which was completed by Samuel Engineering Inc.
In addition, the Company has two exploration projects: Keystone Gold located on the Cortez Trend in Nevada about 11 miles south of Nevada Gold Mines' Cortez Hills Complex, and Challis Gold located in Idaho.
This is no pipedream. The CK Gold project is expected to produce over 100,000 ounces of gold-equivalent per year, backed by 1.67 million AuEq ounces in proven and probable reserves. With NPVs projected as high as $952 million and IRRs exceeding 60%, this is the kind of project that turns modest market caps into billion-dollar titans. Add to that a soaring gold price over $3,500/oz, and USAU’s economics look parabolic.
A 187% stock increase in a year. Over 208 million lbs of copper. A 44 million AuEq oz reserve. A $10.2 million raise. And most importantly—a federally backed tailwind pushing critical minerals to the front of the policy agenda.
This is the perfect storm—and USAU is directly in its eye.

The Trump administration is focusing on accelerating the production of various minerals, including gold and copper, by streamlining permitting processes and prioritizing projects through the Federal Permitting Dashboard.
President Trump signed an Executive Order, "Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production," which defines "minerals" beyond the existing list of critical minerals to include copper, uranium, gold, and potash, with the potential for adding other materials as determined by the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC). This expands support for these materials, which are crucial for national, economic, and energy security interests.
Identifying transparency projects under the Permitting Council’s statutory program advances the President’s directive to take immediate action to facilitate domestic production of America’s vast mineral resources to create jobs, fuel prosperity, and significantly reduce our reliance on foreign nations.
The Trump administration has been actively involved in advancing various critical mineral projects as part of its broader initiative to bolster domestic critical mineral production and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
Since President Trump took office, the White House has added 25 projects and counting to the Federal Permitting Dashboard. This momentum is anticipated to continue.

The CK Gold Project is an advanced-stage gold and copper exploration and development project that is located in the Silver Crown mining district of Wyoming, it's situated about 20 miles west of Cheyenne. The project's aim is to extract both gold and copper.
The Company’s permitted CK Gold Project shows compelling economic indicators!
(All dollar amounts in this news release are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted and gold equivalents (AuEq) are reported based on copper, and silver being expressed in terms of gold ounces using the following prices, gold $2,100/oz., copper $4.10/lb. and silver $27/oz.)
Updates and improvements in the permitted project's PFS include strong economic performance with increased reserves and resources. Project highlights include:
Mr. Bee has more than 30-years of experience operating and developing world-class mines and projects, including an eight-year tour with Barrick in Latin America during his 16-year service with the company.
Having been part of the team that developed Goldstrike in phases between 1988 and 1995, he left Goldstrike as Mine Manager. Between 1998 and 2007, he returned to Barrick to complete the construction of the Pierina mine, and continued as Operations Manager until being reassigned to Chile and Argentina.
As General Manager, he formed and led the team responsible for the successful development of the Veladero mine in 2005. After leaving Barrick, he became President and CEO of Andina Minerals, before moving on to become CEO at Jaguar Mining.
USAU has a proven team. This is a top-quality management and advisory team with pedigrees of developing renowned gold projects. USAU’s team has renowned explorers and proven company builders, who have made and financed the discovery and development of numerous world-class gold assets.
U.S. Gold Corp has been issued a price target increase from Beacon Securities. The firm’s 12-month target price increased from $18.25 to $18.75 per share.
Beacon says the price “represents significant upside from current share price levels.” The firm has a “BUY” rating currently on the company.
USAU has also received a BULLIsh price target not long ago from Paradigm Capital and for $16.50.
“We have forecast the future production of the CK Gold Project using the basic metrics (size/scope) in the December 2021 PFS but adjusted capex and operating costs to reflect current market conditions and arrive at a compelling project with an IRR of over 50% at US$2,600/oz gold.

As a hedge against volatility, gold exploration companies provide a way for investors to gain access to the gold market without investing directly in physical gold. The metal hit a record high in 2025 of over 3,500 an oz.!
A VanEck report highlighted that gold prices directly influence the performance of gold stocks, underscoring the correlation between the two:
"Gold stocks are supposed to outperform the metal when gold’s price rises. Their leverage to gold justifies outperformance. For any given move in the price of gold, the operating cash flow generated by these companies increases (or decreases) by a much greater percentage. Take Alamos (8.06% of Fund net assets), for example. The company estimates that a 5% increase in the price of gold (about a+$100/oz move), would translate into an increase of almost 30% in their free cash flow in 2024. "
The VanEck report noted a recent disconnect between gold prices and gold stocks in the past two years, primarily due to central bank buying and other temporary factors.

Prefeasibility Study Highlights of Ck Gold also include a staggering copper amount:
Why is this a big deal? Because copper will be a big part of the clean revolution.
Besides clean energy technologies, several industries including construction, infrastructure, and defense use copper for its unique properties. The metal is critical in many fast-growing clean industries from the electric grid and electric vehicles to renewable technologies.
Copper is essential in electrical wiring and transportation and is playing an increasingly large role in alternative energy, as it is a crucial component in wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, which require four times as much copper as conventional gas vehicles!
Some of the world's largest mining companies and metal traders are warning that by 2025, a massive shortfall will emerge for copper, which is now the world's most critical metal due to its essential role in the green economy.
The deficit will be so large that The Financial Post stated that it could itself hold back global growth, stoke inflation by raising manufacturing costs and throw global climate goals off course.
The copper supply issue is scary. There may not be enough copper to go around for the millions of electric vehicles (EVs) expected to hit the roads, or to fuel wind turbines and solar power.
In fact, wind and solar energy use more copper than conventional forms of energy, such as coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants. Conventional power plants require about one ton of copper to produced one megawatt of electricity, whereas wind and solar can require between three to five tons per megawatt!
To make matters worse, these numbers only reflect the amount of copper needed to build wind turbines or solar panels, and do not factor in the additional copper needed to transport the electricity generated from wind and solar facilities to the population centers that consume the electricity.
U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) just took another massive step toward unlocking the full value of its billion-dollar CK Gold Project in southeast Wyoming. In a strategic, high-stakes move, the Company has officially awarded the next phase of development to engineering powerhouses Micon International and Halyard Inc.—two of the most respected names in mining project execution globally.
This isn’t some routine update. This is the green light on feasibility study work—the final stretch before construction. And it’s all happening fast. Micon-Halyard will now push forward site-specific process designs and produce an AACE Class 3 cost estimate that will lay the foundation for execution. Translation? USAU is locking in timelines, budgets, and strategies to deliver real, near-term production—not dreams.
The feasibility study is targeted for completion by the end of 2025, and the Company is laser-focused on delivering on time, on budget, and with maximum investor upside.
USAU’s updated February 2025 prefeasibility study already revealed stunning economics:
Now, with Micon-Halyard on board—an elite firm that has delivered over 760 projects and 1,260 technical reports globally— USAU is assembling a dream team of execution to fast-track the CK Gold Project to production. This is the kind of aggressive, no-nonsense advancement the market rewards—and the majors watch closely.
As the Trump administration accelerates its push for domestic dominance in critical minerals, this fully permitted gold-copper player is already 10 steps ahead of the pack. With a 100% stake in three high-grade U.S. projects—Wyoming, Nevada, and Idaho—USAU has what every mining giant desperately wants: shovel-ready assets in mining-friendly American soil.
The CK Gold Project is not just another hopeful story—it’s permitted, backed by a monster prefeasibility study, and ready to move. Combine that with the company’s undervalued share price, a top-tier leadership team led by a former Barrick Gold legend, and wall-to-wall bullish analyst targets up to $18.75… and you’ve got a time-sensitive opportunity with nuclear upside potential.
Gold has already surged past $3,500/oz in 2025—and the smart money knows that the real upside isn’t physical gold... it's in the developers and explorers about to enter full-scale production. That’s where the windfall lives—and USAU is going after it.
USAU is in full-speed and is an execution-phase gold-copper developer, backed by billionaires, blessed by federal policy, and now being engineered to reality by two of the best firms in the industry.
This isn’t just another copper story—it’s a bullish call backed by numbers, infrastructure, policy momentum, and institutional belief. If you’re looking for explosive leverage to the gold rally and copper boom with real fundamentals behind it, USAU is your shot at catching the next potential breakout in the resource sector.
