US Gold Corp Advances CK Gold Project, TimkenSteel Rebrands To Metallus, Foremost Lithium Gets Permit For Jean Lake Project
1. U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ:USAU) issued an update detailing its recent and expected milestones in 2024.
The company's highlights include advancements in the CK Gold Project, with permit approval and feasibility study completion expected in the first half of 2024. The project will be shovel-ready in the latter half of the year (pending board approval).
According to U.S. Gold Corp., rising gold and copper markets give the project significant upside and its low impact provides potential environmental benefits, along with local economic contributions to Wyoming.
In exploration, the company holds mostly unrecognized value of assets with minimal holding costs, including the promising Keystone area in Nevada and an opportunity in Idaho.
For company valuation, U.S. Gold Corp sees an expected reduction in risk from the low share price, bolstered by a positive market outlook for copper and gold and $4 million in its treasury, according to its latest financial statement.
