*********************************************************************************************************

SAN ANTONIO — May 7, 2007 —U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROW), a boutique registered investment advisor specializing in natural resources and emerging markets, today reported net income of $2.41 million, or 16 cents per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

U.S. Global’s revenue totaled $12.44 million in its third quarter of fiscal year 2007. In the same three months of 2006, the company’s net income was $2.55 million, or 17 cents per diluted share, on revenue of $11.56 million.

The latest quarter’s earnings included non-recurring expenses primarily associated with the proxy election that resulted in a 2-for-1 stock split in late March. Excluding this charge, net income was $2.58 million, or 17 cents per diluted share. A schedule reconciling adjusted results to GAAP is provided in Table 1 at the end of this news release.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, U.S. Global earned $7.35 million, or 48 cents per diluted share, on revenue of $36.77 million. This compares to earnings of $4.81 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, on revenue of $25.89 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.

Per-share earnings in all time periods cited have been adjusted to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split in March. U.S. Global also paid a special dividend of 25 cents per share post-split in late March. The company repurchased 25,634 shares of Class A common stock from employees during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Upon repurchase, these shares are classified as treasury shares and are deducted from outstanding shares in the earnings-per-share calculation.

U.S. Global’s SEC-registered fund assets under management averaged $4.59 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, up 21.4 percent from the average of $3.78 billion for the same period a year earlier.

Mr. Holmes said, “The world is experiencing tremendous growth, but in the U.S., the global growth story is being overshadowed by worries about the housing slowdown and subprime mortgage debt. Investors appear to be ignoring the rise in commodity prices in the first quarter of 2007. There has been an economic decoupling between the pessimistic U.S. and the prosperous emerging world, where policies for economic growth are having a particularly strong impact on natural resources. The supply of commodities continues to be constrained at a time when global demand, particularly in China and India, is growing rapidly. Many resource-based companies are trading at low earnings and growth multiples relative to the S&P 500 while having substantially higher returns on equity. For these reasons, we continue to believe in a secular bull market for commodities, though there will be periods of short-term volatility.”

In addition to the SEC-registered funds, U.S. Global advises offshore clients with average assets of $240.6 million in the latest quarter. In the same period of 2006, the company’s offshore advisory assets averaged $74.1 million.

U.S. Global generally receives a monthly advisory fee from these offshore clients and the company may be eligible for quarterly or annual performance fees. Revenue from offshore clients in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, totaled $1.09 million, compared with $553,000 received in the corresponding quarter in 2006.

According to information released last week by Endeavour Mining Capital Corp., one of the company’s offshore clients, the performance fee accruing to U.S. Global for the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 is approximately $3.4 million. The final performance fee payable to U.S. Global, if any, will be determined as of June 30, 2007, and will be based on Endeavour’s financial results for the entire fiscal year.

Under the accounting policies adopted by U.S. Global, performance fees from Endeavour are calculated and recorded only once a year at the end of the fiscal year in accordance with the terms of the advisory agreement. This and other performance fees may fluctuate significantly from year to year based on factors that may be out of U.S. Global’s control. These fluctuations could result in the recording of no performance fees.

U.S. Global has scheduled a webcast for 10 a.m. Central time today to discuss the company’s key financial results for the quarter. Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer, will be accompanied on the webcast by Susan McGee, president and general counsel; and Catherine Rademacher, chief financial officer.

The financial results included in this release are unaudited. U.S. Global expects to file its Form 10-Q report for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before May 10, 2007.
