The results of unaudited interim condensed consolidated operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The preparation of interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

See "Forward-Looking Statements" above. Our results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including the risk factors described in this report and in "Item 1A.

Overview

U.S. Gold Corp., formerly known as Dataram Corporation (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us"), was originally incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1967 and was subsequently re-incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 2016. Effective June 26, 2017, the Company changed its legal name to U.S. Gold Corp. from Dataram Corporation. On May 23, 2017, the Company merged with Gold King Corp. ("Gold King"), in a transaction treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, and the business of Gold King became the business of the Company. We are a gold and precious metals exploration company pursuing exploration and development properties. We own certain mining leases and other mineral rights comprising the CK Gold Project in Wyoming, the Keystone Project in Nevada and the Challis Gold Project in Idaho. We have established an estimate of proven and probable mineral reserves under S-K 1300 at our CK Gold Project, where we are conducting exploration and pre-development activities, and all of our activities on our other properties are exploratory in nature.

Summary of Activities for the Three months ended January 31, 2026

During the three months ended January 31, 2026, we continued engineering studies towards the completion of a feasibility study for our CK Gold Project. We continue to enhance our understanding of the Keystone Project deposit in Nevada. Additionally, we focused on investor relations and awareness through the attendance at multiple mining investment conferences culminating with the completion of a financing in December 2025 for gross proceeds of $31.2 million.

An overview of certain significant events follows:

In November 2025, we announced that we entered into an agreement to acquire a 10-acre parcel of land in support of our 2026 development of the CK Gold Project. The transaction was completed in January 2026.
In December 2025, we announced that we closed a private placement of 1,922,159 shares of our common stock at a price of $16.25 per share (the "Offering Shares") and warrants to purchase 961,079 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $23.00 per share (the "Warrants"), pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into with certain investors, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $31.2 million. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire two years after the initial issuance date. Pricing of the Offering Shares was set based on the close price of our common shares on Monday, December 15, 2025 of $16.91, representing an approximate 4% discount to the close price.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at January 31, 2026, compared to April 30, 2025, and the changes between those periods:

January 31, 2026 April 30, 2025 Increase (decrease)
Current Assets $ 36,779,906 $ 8,895,398 $ 27,884,508
Current Liabilities $ 1,381,510 $ 879,953 $ 501,557
Working Capital $ 35,398,396 $ 8,015,445 $ 27,382,951

As of January 31, 2026, we had working capital of $35,398,396, as compared to working capital of $8,015,445 as of April 30, 2025, an increase of $27,382,951.

We are obligated to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley") and the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. We expect to spend between $175,000 and $250,000 in legal and accounting expenses annually to comply with our reporting obligations and Sarbanes-Oxley. These costs could affect profitability and our results of operations.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred net losses in the amounts of approximately $11,844,000 and $12,790,000, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was approximately $12,132,000. As of January 31, 2026, we had cash of approximately $36,088,000, working capital of approximately $35,398,000, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $105,251,000. Our primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity financings. As of January 31, 2026, we expect to have sufficient cash to fund our corporate activities, general and administrative costs, and currently undertaken project activities related to permitting and engineering studies over the next twelve months. However, in order to advance any of our projects past the aforementioned objectives, we do not have sufficient cash and will need to raise additional funds. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $12,132,000 and $7,153,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2026, increased primarily due to the (i) increase in non-cash items of approximately $6,028,000 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to the change in fair value of warrant liability and decreased stock-based compensation, (ii) decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $103,000 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to changes in prepaid expenses and other current assets, reclamation bond deposit, and changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and stock payable and (iii) decrease in net loss of approximately $946,000 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2025.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $1,924,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 primarily due to the purchase of land and a building located in Cheyenne, Wyoming as compared to $6,158 during the prior period ended January 31, 2025 related to a purchase of equipment.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $41,975,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 primarily due to proceeds received the sale of common stock of approximately $31,695,000, exercise of warrants of approximately $10,240,000, and exercise of stock options of approximately $40,000. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $10,723,000 for proceeds received from the sale of common stock of approximately $10,147,000 and exercise of warrants of approximately $576,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2025.
