CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Gold Corp. ("U.S. Gold," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") (Nasdaq: USAU) is pleased to announce the adoption of Glencore Technology's Jameson Cell Flotation Equipment for enhanced gold and copper recovery at the CK Gold Project. This decision follows the completion of several engineering, optimization, and trade-off studies as part of the Company's Definitive Feasibility Study and Execution Plan.
CEO Statement
George Bee, President and CEO of U.S. Gold, commented, "U.S. Gold Corp. is pleased to announce the adoption of Glencore Technology's Jameson Cell Flotation Equipment for enhanced gold and copper recovery at the CK Gold Project. Through rigorous trade-off studies and testing, we have confirmed that this technology offers improvements over conventional flotation cells, including increased metal recovery, reduced power consumption, and a smaller equipment and warehousing footprint. This strategic decision further enhances the already robust economics of the project, positioning us for success in the domestic production of strategic metals. We would like to thank the team at Glencore Technology for its support and performance guarantee, and we look forward to continuing to optimize our project with its expertise."
Background
Glencore Technology first approached U.S. Gold in late 2024, presenting its proprietary Jameson Cell flotation technology as a potential improvement over conventional flotation cells. The Jameson cells have been in use since 1986. To validate these claims, U.S. Gold conducted additional testing on CK Gold Project ore. The results confirmed gains in both gold and copper recovery compared to the values reported in the February 2025 Prefeasibility Study.
A trade-off study prepared by Halyard Micon International estimated that incorporating Jameson Cells could improve the project's Net Present Value (5%) by approximately $36 million over the life of the mine compared to conventional tank flotation technology. The study also highlighted the potential for reduced operating costs, smaller equipment and warehouse needs, and lower power consumption.
The Glencore Group has provided a limited performance guarantee and continues to support ongoing engineering and cost parameters for the proposed equipment. U.S. Gold has also received a letter from Glencore Technology confirming it can hold pricing for unused Jameson Cells, originally procured for a cancelled project, through October 2025.
