NEWS RELEASE

NEVADA DELIVERS GOOD DRILL RESULTS:

0.065 OPT GOLD OVER 120 FT. INCLUDING 0.121 OPT GOLD OVER 35 FT.

Toronto, Ontario (October 14th, 2009) - US GOLD CORPORATION (NYSE.AMEX:UXG - TSX: UXG) is pleased to announce that drilling at its Gold Bar Project in Nevada’s prolific Cortez Trend continues to expand the known mineralization, encountering good grades and widths. Nine out of ten holes designed to follow-up on results released on September 9th hit economically significant mineralization. The objective of the drilling was to increase the size of the NI 43-101 compliant resource in three areas: 1) West Pick, 2) East Pick, and 3) North Ridge as illustrated in Figure 1. (See Table 1 for complete assay results. The true widths of the intercepts are unknown.)

WEST PICK

Drilling successfully extended the known mineralization by approximately 170 ft. (50 m) to the southwest of hole GB48, which returned a good result: 0.085 opt (2.9 gpt) gold over 150 ft (45.7 m). Results indicate the gold is localized in two low-angle zones of similar grade and thickness. Hole GB70 had the best intercept from the most recent set of results, returning: 0.065 opt (2.24 gpt) gold over 120 ft. (36.6 m). The mineralization remains open to further expansion and potential remains to join Gold Pick and Gold Ridge. Assays are pending for holes designed to extend the zone farther to the southwest (Figure 1). Highlights of drilling are as follows:

(opt = Troy ounces per short ton, gpt = grams per metric tonne)

EAST PICK

Drilling intercepted 0.064 opt (2.18 gpt) gold over 65 ft (19.8 m) and 0.042 opt (1.45 gpt) gold over 95 ft (29 m) in two holes drilled as follow-up to GB68, which returned a good intercept of 0.070 opt (2.39 gpt) gold over 105 ft (32.0 m). Mineralization in this zone was expanded by 260 ft. (80 m) east from the stated NI 43-101 resource and remains open for further expansion. Drilling to further extend the mineralization is currently underway. Highlights are as follows:

NORTH RIDGE

Two holes were completed at North Ridge where the mineralization was interpreted to be open for expansion. Drilling in this area encountered 0.055 opt (1.87gpt) gold over 60 ft. (18.3 m), which extended the mineralized zone 65 ft. (20 m) to the east. Further opportunities to extend the zone in this area are being evaluated. Highlights are as follows:

Drilling at the Gold Bar Project is ongoing, with two drill rigs currently operating on the property.

EL GALLO (MEXICO) EXPLORATION UPDATE

Drilling at the El Gallo Silver Project in Sinaloa, Mexico, is scheduled to resume during the third week of October 2009. Drilling was suspended in order to permit a larger area around the initial discovery and to accommodate for Mexico’s rainy season. US Gold will resume exploration with four core drills in an effort to complete the maximum amount of drilling possible before the end of the first quarter 2010 when an initial resource estimate is scheduled to be published. Surface prospecting over the past month has identified numerous areas of high-grade silver and gold values up to 0.6 miles (1.0 km) north and south of the current area of drilling. These newly discovered areas away from the main zone demonstrate there is considerable potential to expand the size of this discovery.
