(1) | This registration statement relates to the common stock of U.S. Gold Corporation, a Colorado corporation, and an identical number of exchangeable shares of US Gold Canadian Acquisition Corporation, a company incorporated under theBusiness Corporations Act(Alberta) and a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Gold Corporation, to be issued: (a) in connection with an offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tone Resources Limited, a corporation existing under theBusiness Corporations Act(British Columbia), or Tone Resources; (b) in connection with any contemplated subsequent acquisition transaction to acquire any Tone Resources common shares not acquired in the offer to purchase; and (c) upon exercise of warrants to purchase Tone Resources common shares, which will be assumed and converted into warrants to purchase exchangeable shares of US Gold Canadian Acquisition Corporation in connection with any contemplated subsequent acquisition transaction. |
(2) | This amount is based upon the registrants’ estimate of the maximum number of shares of U.S. Gold Corporation common stock issuable, upon the terms described herein: (a) in exchange for the exchangeable shares issued by US Gold Canadian Acquisition Corporation pursuant to the offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tone Resources, and any subsequent acquisition transactions; and; (b) in connection with the assumption by US Canadian Acquisition Corporation of outstanding warrants to purchase Tone Resources common shares; each of (a) and (b) are based on the outstanding number of Tone Resources common shares and outstanding warrants and exercisable options to purchase Tone Resources common shares as reported by Tone Resources as of October 20, 2006. |
(3) | Covers all of the securities set forth in footnote 2. Estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(f)(1) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), based on $1.11, the average of the high and low prices for Tone Resources’ common shares as reported by the TSX Venture Exchange on October 25, 2006, and 24,702,652 , the estimated maximum number of shares of Tone Resources that could be exchanged in the offer. |
(4) | Pursuant to Rule 457(b) of the Securities Act, the registration fee is being offset by the fee required in connection with the proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed by U.S. Gold Corporation on October 26, 2006, which fee was (a) reduced pursuant toRule 0-11 by the fee required to be paid in connection with the registration statement onForm S-4 (RegistrationNo. 333-138233) filed by U.S. Gold Corporation and US Gold Canadian Acquisition Corporation on October 26, 2006, which fee was offset pursuant to Rule 457(p) by a portion of the registration fee associated with the registration statement onForm S-4 (RegistrationNo. 333-133726) originally filed on May 2, 2006 by US Gold Holdings Corporation and U.S. Gold Corporation, or the prior registration statement and (b) offset by a portion of the registration fee associated with the prior registration statement. This reduces the portion of the required fee payable in connection with the proxy statement that may be used to offset registration fees payable in connection with future registration statements filed in connection with that proxy statement to $3,616.47. US Gold Holdings Corporation and US Gold Canadian Acquisition Corporation are wholly-owned subsidiaries of U.S. Gold Corporation. |

• | Coral Gold. Since Coral Gold’s 2002 fiscal year, Coral Gold has made aggregate principal expenditures of Cdn$2,498,084 on the Robertson Mining Claims in Nevada. We intend to offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Coral Gold on the basis of 0.63 of an exchangeable share for each common share of Coral Gold. Coral Gold’s common shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol “CGR-V” and on the OTCBB under the symbol “CGREF.” | |
• | Nevada Pacific. Nevada Pacific owns an exploratory property portfolio covering approximately 890 square miles of mineral rights in Mexico, including the Magistral Gold Mine, ten properties in Nevada and one in Utah. The Nevada property portfolio covers approximately 85 square miles, including portions of two significant gold producing belts in regions: the Battle Mountain/Eureka Trend/Cortez Trend and the State of Nevada Carlin Trend. We intend to offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Nevada Pacific on the basis of 0.23 of an exchangeable share for each common share of Nevada Pacific. Nevada Pacific’s common shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol “NPG-V.” | |
• | White Knight. In 1993, White Knight began to acquire gold exploration properties in Nevada and has focused solely on exploration and operation of properties in Nevada since that time. Currently White Knight’s efforts are exploratory in nature in each of the 18 Nevada properties where it holds an interest. White Knight continues to explore for projects to acquire in Nevada. We intend to offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of White Knight on the basis of 0.35 exchangeable shares for each common share of White Knight. White Knight’s common shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol “WKR-V.” |

• | A larger land position within the Cortez Trend and a larger exploration program. We hold a 100% interest in the Tonkin Springs exploration gold property in Eureka County, Nevada, subject to paramount title in the United States. This property consists of approximately 36 square miles of unpatented lode mining claims and millsite claims located on the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, approximately 45 miles northwest of the town of Eureka, in north-central Nevada. Upon successful completion of the strategic offers, our land position would increase by approximately 344% to approximately 160 square miles. Over the next two years, we have planned 400,000 feet of exploration drilling on our Tonkin Springs exploration gold property at a cost of $30 million. If the strategic offers are successfully completed, we intend to aggressively explore the properties of White Knight, Coral Gold, Nevada Pacific and Tone Resources over the next two years to coincide with our exploration program at our Tonkin Springs exploration gold property. | |
• | A stronger cash position and reduced costs. On February 22, 2006, we completed a private placement of 16,700,000 subscription receipts, with gross proceeds to us of $75,150,000. Of the intermediate exploration companies currently exploring for gold in Nevada, we have one of the strongest cash positions. Successful completion of one or more of the strategic offers will also give us access to any additional cash resources of the companies acquired. Due to the strategic locations in Nevada of the assets of each of Nevada Pacific, Coral Gold, Tone Resources and White Knight and the elimination of redundant fees and costs, we expect that U.S. Gold would realize lower total costs than if each company were to remain a separate entity. | |
• | Enhanced trading liquidity and better market focus. U.S. Gold and Canadian Exchange Co. expect that the successful completion of the acquisition of the target companies would result in increased market capitalization and trading liquidity of the combined company, resulting in better market focus. Because of the increased market capitalization and liquidity of the combined company, we expect that the combined company will have greater access to equity and debt capital markets than U.S. Gold currently does, and greater appeal to institutional investors. It is a condition to the strategic offers that the shares of our common stock shall have been approved for listing on the AMEX and the exchangeable shares shall have been approved for listing on the TSX and AMEX. We expect that the enhanced access to the equity and debt capital markets resulting from the acquisition of the target companies would provide management of the combined company greater flexibility to execute its business plan under various financial market conditions. | |
• | Additional technical expertise. We believe that one or more of Nevada Pacific, Coral Gold, Tone Resources and White Knight has quality employees with good technical expertise. We hope to retain at least some of these key employees following the successful completion of the proposed acquisitions to assist in our business and operations going forward. |

If the shareholders do not elect or appoint a director to fill the vacancy simultaneously with the removal of a director, the remaining directors or shareholders may elect or appoint a director to fill the vacancy. | ||||
Directors’ Term | Under Tone Resources’ articles, at each annual general meeting, shareholders entitled to vote at the annual general meeting must elect the entire board. If Tone Resources does not hold an annual general meeting, the directors appointed at the last annual general meeting shall continue in office until a director’s successor is elected or appointed or the date on which a director otherwise no longer holds office under the BCBCA or Tone Resources’ articles. | Our bylaws, as amended, provide that each director elected shall hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified. | ||
Filling Vacancies on the Board | Under the BCBCA and Tone Resources’ articles, the directors may appoint a person as a director either to fill a vacancy on the board or as an addition to the board. The number of additional directors so appointed, however, cannot at any time exceed one-third of the number of directors elected or appointed at the last annual general meeting. Any additional director shall hold office until the next annual general meeting, but shall be eligible for re-election at such meeting. Under Tone Resources’ articles, if there are fewer directors in office than the number set in the articles as a quorum of directors (a majority of current directors or as set by the board), the board may only act to appoint directors up to the number set in the articles as a quorum of directors or may call a shareholder meeting to fill those | Our bylaws provide that any vacancy occurring in our board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our remaining directors, even if less than quorum.

Required Vote for Certain Transactions | Under the BCBCA, certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as continuances, certain amalgamations, sales, leases or other dispositions of all, or substantially all of, the property of a corporation (other than in the ordinary course of business), liquidations, dissolutions and certain arrangements, are required to be approved by special resolution of the shareholders. For Tone Resources, a special resolution means a resolution passed at a general meeting by a majority of at least two- thirds of the votes cast on the resolution. In certain cases, an action that prejudices or interferes with a right or special right attached to issued shares of class or series of shares must be approved separately by the holders of the class or series of shares being affected. | To effect a merger or share exchange under the Colorado Act, a corporation’s board must approve and adopt a plan of merger or plan of share exchange and recommend such plan to the shareholders. Such plan must be adopted by a majority of the shareholders of the corporation entitled to vote thereon unless the articles of incorporation require a greater vote. Under the Colorado Act, a corporation may sell, lease, exchange or otherwise dispose of all, or substantially all, of its property other than in the regular course of business on the terms and conditions and for the consideration determined by the board, if the board proposes and a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote approve the transaction. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not require a greater vote. | ||
Calling a Meeting of Shareholders | Under Tone Resources’ articles, the directors have the power at any time to call special meetings of shareholders. Under the BCBCA, the holders of not less than 5% of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a general meeting may requisition that the directors call a meeting of shareholders. Upon meeting the technical requirements set out in the BCBCA, the directors must call a meeting of shareholders to be held not more than four months after receiving the requisition.

Quorum of Shareholders | Tone Resources’ articles provide that a quorum for the transaction of business at any general meeting of shareholders is one person present or represented by proxy. If within one half hour from the time appointed for a general meeting a quorum is not present, the general meeting, if convened by requisition of the shareholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place. If at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within one half hour from the time appointed, the person or persons present and being or representing by proxy, a shareholder or shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. | Our articles of incorporation provide that the holders of one-third of our stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum at any meeting of our shareholders. | ||

Under Tone Resources’ articles, the notice for a shareholder meeting for which special business will be conducted must state the nature of the special business to be discussed or approved.

Record Date for Notice of Meetings of Shareholders | The BCBCA and Tone Resources’ articles provide that the directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at a meeting of shareholders, but such record date shall not precede the meeting date (i) by more than two months or (ii) four months in the case of a meeting requisitioned by shareholders. If Tone Resources is a public company, the record date shall not be less than 21 days prior to the meeting date. If Tone Resources is not a public company, the record date shall not be less than 10 days prior to the meeting date. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of a meeting of shareholders shall be at 5:00 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the day on which the notice is given or, if no notice is given, the beginning of the meeting. | Under the Act and our bylaws, our board may fix in advance a date as the record date, provided that such date is not less than 10 days nor more than 50 days prior to the meeting.

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights | The BCBCA provides that shareholders of a corporation are entitled to exercise dissent rights in respect of certain matters and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection therewith. The dissent right is applicable where the corporation resolves to: • alter its articles to alter the restrictions on the powers of the corporation or on the business it is permitted to carry on; • approve certain amalgamations; • approve an arrangement, where the terms of the arrangement permit dissent; • sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its undertaking; or | The Colorado Act provides that a holder of shares of any class or series has the right, in certain circumstances, to dissent and obtain fair value of his or her shares. The Colorado Act grants these dissenters’ rights in the case of mergers or consolidations and certain sales or transfers of assets or a purchase of assets for stock. No dissenters’ rights are available for shares of any class or series that is listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders, unless the |

In addition, dissenters’ rights are not available to holders of shares of the surviving corporation if the merger did not require the vote of the shareholders of the surviving corporation. | ||||
Indemnification of Directors and Officers | Under the BCBCA, a corporation may indemnify an individual who is or was a director or officer of the corporation. However, indemnification is prohibited if: • such eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of such corporation (or the other entity, as the case may be); and • in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, such eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that such person’s conduct was lawful. The BCBCA allows for the corporation to pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the eligible party, provided that, the corporation receives from such eligible party an undertaking | Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any person who is made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of U.S. Gold or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of U.S. Gold; but no indemnification shall be made by us in respect of any claim, issue, |

to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such payment is prohibited. Despite the foregoing, on application of a corporation or eligible party, a court may: • order a corporation to indemnify an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding; • order a corporation to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in an eligible proceeding; • order enforcement of or any payment under an indemnification agreement; • order the corporation to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by a person in obtaining the order of the court; and/or • make any other order the court considers appropriate. Tone Resources’ articles require Tone Resources to indemnify directors of Tone Resources, former directors of Tone Resources or alternate directors of Tone Resources and their heirs and legal personal representative to the greatest extent permitted by the BCBCA. Under its articles, Tone Resources may indemnify any other person. The failure of a director, alternate director or officer of Tone Resources to comply with the BCBCA or the articles will not invalidate any indemnity that person is entitled to under the articles. | or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to U.S. Gold unless and only to the extent that the court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the court deems proper. Such indemnification is authorized and conditioned upon a determination of a majority of our disinterested directors, or if no such quorum is available, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the standard of conduct. Our bylaws also provide that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of U.S. Gold has been successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or defense of any claim, issue or matter, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such defense. In addition, the Colorado Act and our bylaws allows for the advance payment of expenses of an officer or director who is indemnified prior to the final disposition of an action, provided that, in the case of a current director or officer, such person undertakes to repay any such amount advanced if it is later determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification |

with regard to the action for which the expenses were advanced. | ||||
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. | ||||
Director Liability | Under the BCBCA, directors of a corporation who vote for or consent to a resolution that authorizes the corporation to do any of the following are jointly and severally liable to restore to the corporation any amount paid or distributed as a result and not otherwise recovered by the corporation: • carry on its business or exercise any power that it is restricted by its articles from carrying on or exercising; • pay a commission or allow a discount contrary to the provisions of the BCBCA; • pay a dividend or acquire or redeem any of its shares where there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is insolvent or the payment of the dividend or the acquisition or redemption would render the corporation insolvent; or • indemnify a person in contravention of the BCBCA. | Our articles of incorporation provide that directors shall not be personally liable to U.S. Gold or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except as prohibited by the Colorado Act, as follows: • for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to U.S. Gold or its shareholders; • for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; • for unlawful dividends under the Colorado Act; or • for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. | ||
A director is not liable for the foregoing if the director relied, in good faith, on: • financial statements of the corporation represented to the director by an officer of the corporation or in a written |

Table of Contents
Tone Resources Shareholder Rights | U.S. Gold Shareholder Rights | |||
report of the auditor of the corporation to fairly reflect the financial position of the corporation; • a written report of a lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by that person; • a statement of fact represented to the director by an officer of the corporation to be correct; or • any record, information or representation that the court considers provides reasonable grounds for the actions of the director, whether or not that record was forged, fraudulently made or inaccurate. | ||||
Furthermore, a director is not liable if the director did not know and could not reasonably have known that the act done by the director or authorized by the resolution voted for or consented to by the director was contrary to the BCBCA. | ||||
Interested Shareholder Transactions | The rules or policies of certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including Ontario Securities Commission, or OSC, Rule 61-501 and Policy Statement Q-27 of the Commission des valeues moblieres du Quebec, or AMF Regulation Q-27, contain requirements in connection with ‘‘related party transactions.” A related party transaction means, generally, any transaction by which an issuer, directly or indirectly, completes one or more specified transactions with a related party including purchasing or disposing of an asset, issuing securities and assuming liabilities. A ‘‘related party” is defined in OSC Rule 61-501 and AMF Regulation Q-27 and includes directors and senior officers of the | The Colorado Act and our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not prevent us from engaging in a transaction with an interested shareholder. |

issuer and holders of voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attaching to all issued and outstanding voting securities or of a sufficient number of any securities of the issuer to materially affect control of the issuer. | ||||
OSC Rule 61-501 and AMF Regulation Q-27 require more detailed disclosure in the proxy material sent to securityholders in connection with a related party transaction, and, subject to certain exceptions, the preparation of a formal valuation with respect to the subject matter of the related party transaction and any non cash consideration offered in connection therewith, and the inclusion of a summary of the valuation in the proxy material. OSC Rule 61-501 and AMF Regulation Q-27 also require that, subject to certain exceptions, an issuer shall not engage in a related party transaction unless approval of the disinterested shareholders of the issuer or the related party transaction has been obtained. | ||||
Transactions with Directors and Officers | Under the BCBCA, subject to certain exceptions, a director or senior officer of a corporation holds a “disclosable interest” in a contract or transaction if: (i) the contract is material to the corporation; (ii) the corporation has entered, or proposes to enter, into the contract or transaction; and (iii) the director or senior officer has a direct or indirect material interest in the contract or transaction. Subject to certain exceptions under the BCBCA and unless the court orders otherwise, a director or senior officer of a corporation is liable to account to the corporation for any profit that accrues to the director or senior officer under or as a result of a | Under the Colorado Act and our articles of incorporation, contracts and transactions between us and one or more of our directors and officers, or between us and any other entity in which one or more of our directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest may be void or voidable unless: (i) the material facts of the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest are disclosed or known to the board or committee and the board or committee authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, (ii) the material facts of the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest are |

contract or transaction in which the director or senior officer holds a disclosable interest. The exemptions from the requirement to account to the corporation for any profit include where the disclosable interest is disclosed to the directors of the corporation and the directors approve of the contract or transaction with any directors that hold a disclosable interest abstaining or the contract is approved by a special resolution of the shareholders. If all directors have a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction, any or all of those directors may vote on a directors’ resolution to approve the contract or transaction. Directors with a disclosable interest may be counted in the quorum at the directors’ meeting to approve the contract or transaction whether or not such directors vote at the directors’ meeting. Tone Resources’ articles also provide that a director or senior officer who holds any office or possesses any property interest that conflicts materially with his or her duties or interests as a director or senior officer must disclose the nature of such conflict to the board. | disclosed or known to the shareholders and the contract or transaction is approved in good faith by a vote of the shareholders, or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board, a committee or the shareholders. Our articles of incorporation provide that the officers, directors and other members of our management shall be subject to the doctrine of “corporate opportunities” only insofar as it applies to business opportunities in which U.S. Gold has expressed an interest as determined from time to time by the board as evidenced by resolutions appearing in our minutes. Once such areas of interest are delineated, all such business opportunities within such area of interest which come to the attention of the officers, directors, and other members of our management shall be disclosed promptly to U.S. Gold and made available to us. Our board may reject any busin ess opportunity presented to it and thereafter any officer, director or other member of management may avail himself or herself of such opportunity. Until such time as U.S. Gold, through our board, has designated an area of interest, our officers, directors and other member of management shall be free to engage in such areas of interest on their own. | |||
In addition, we adopted a corporate opportunity policy that defines the business opportunities in which we have an interest and prohibits our officers and directors from taking advantage of those opportunities without the approval of a majority of the disinterested |

directors or a committee of our board appointed for that purpose. | ||||
Consent Required to Transfer Shares | Tone Resources’ articles provide that, for so long as Tone Resources is not a public company, no share may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without the consent of Tone Resources’ board and the board is not required to give any reason for refusing its consent. Tone Resources is, however, currently a public company, and therefore, this prohibition does not currently apply. | U.S. Gold’s bylaws do not contain any restriction on the transfer or disposition of U.S. Gold common stock. |

(i) | On December 9, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Mr. Robert McEwen to issue 12,500,000 units at a price of $0.40 CDN per unit for aggregate proceeds of $5,000,000 CDN. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant with each warrant exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 CDN for a term of two years. As a result of the private placement, Mr. McEwen holds approximately 18.2% of the outstanding shares of the Company and, in event of the exercise of all the warrants, Mr. McEwen will hold approximately 30.8% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. In accordance with the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange, as this constitutes a “change in control”, the placement closed in two tranches. The first tranche, consisting of 6,921,213 units was completed on December 14, 2005. The second tranche for the balance of the units was conditional upon receiving shareholder approval. The Company called an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders on January 23, 2006 and the shareholders approved the transaction, which was completed on May 11, 2006. The shares and warrants comprising the units and the shares underlying such warrants are subject to a four-month hold period. No finder’s fees are payable on this placement. |
