Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On August 10, 2020, U.S. Gold Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Gold King Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Corp.”), Northern Panther Resources Corporation (“Northern Panther”) and the Stockholder Representative named therein, pursuant to which Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Northern Panther, with Northern Panther surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (such transaction, the “Merger”).

At the closing of the Merger, which occurred on August 11, 2020, the shares of common stock of Northern Panther outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares held as treasury stock) were converted into and represent the right to receive (i) 581,053 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and (ii) 106,894 shares of the Company’s Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series H Preferred Stock” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”), which Series H Preferred Stock is expected to convert into Common Stock on a 1 for 10 basis upon receipt of the approval by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders at the next annual general meeting, as described below.

The Series H Preferred Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to an exchange cap, which prohibits the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock if such conversion would result in a violation of the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Holders of the Series H Preferred Stock have the same voting rights and liquidation preference as holders of Common Stock, on an as-converted basis.

The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement as part of the Merger Consideration is being sold as “restricted stock” subject to the six-month minimum hold period under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In addition, pursuant to certain leak-out agreements (the “Leak-Out Agreements”) entered into concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement by and between the stockholders of Northern Panther and the Company, the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including shares issued upon conversion of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, are subject to a leak-out provision limiting future share sales of the Company’s Common Stock held by the holders of such shares to no more than 10% of the daily trading volume.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) accepted Mr. Edward M. Karr’s relinquished his position as President and appointed Mr. George Bee as President of the Company, effective on the closing of the Merger, as more fully described under Item 5.02 below. Mr. Karr remains Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company is required to seek the approval of its stockholders for the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock and nominate Mr. Bee and Mr. Robert Schafer for election to the Board at the next annual general meeting of its stockholders, which the Company anticipates will be held on October 27, 2020 (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”).

The Merger Agreement includes customary representations and warranties of the Company, Acquisition Corp. and Northern Panther. In connection with the Merger, Mr. Luke Norman received a finder’s fee equal to the quotient of (a) 5% of the purchase value for the Merger and (b) the 30-day VWAP of a share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market prior to the execution Merger Agreement, which was paid in restricted stock on the closing date of the Merger.

Securities Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Merger, on August 10, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with certain investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers in a private placement (i) an aggregate of 921,666 shares of the Company’s Series I Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series I Preferred Stock”) and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 921,666 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share (the “Warrants”) for aggregate consideration of $5,530,004. The Series I Preferred Stock has substantially the same terms as the Series H Preferred Stock, except that each share of Series I Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock, and is subject to an exchange cap. The Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part at any time, from time to time following the initial exercise date, terminate five years following the issuance, and are subject to an exchange cap. The closing of the issuance and sale of the Series I Preferred Stock and Warrants under the SPA closed on August 11, 2020.

The SPA includes customary representations and warranties and covenants.

The Warrants and the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, and the conversion of the Series I Preferred Stock are not being registered under the Securities Act and are being offered pursuant to and in reliance on the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

Voting Agreements

On August 10, 2020, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company identified therein, including each of the Company’s directors and executive officers, entered into a Voting Agreement with the Stockholder Representative (the “Company Stockholder Agreement”), pursuant to and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, among other things, each such stockholder agreed to vote (or acted upon by written consent) all of such stockholder’s shares of Company common stock, in favor of the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, at the Company Shareholder Meeting. As of August 10, 2020, the stockholder parties to the Company Stockholder Agreement owned 357,836 shares of the Company common stock, representing approximately 12.20% of the Company common stock issued and outstanding at such time. The Company Stockholder Agreement will terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the conclusion of the Company Shareholder Meeting and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement.

Also on August 10, 2020, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Northern Panther identified therein, entered into a Voting Agreement with the Company, (the “Northern Panther Stockholder Agreement”), pursuant to and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, among other things, each such stockholder agreed to vote (or acted upon by written consent) all of such stockholder’s shares of common stock of Northern Panther, among other things, (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement (as amended from time to time) and (b) against any proposal for any recapitalization, merger, sale of assets or other business combination between the Northern Panther or any of its subsidiaries and any person or entity other than the Company or any of its affiliates. As of August 10, 2020, the stockholder parties to the Northern Panther Voting Agreement owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Northern Panther.

Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

b) Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall equal to $0.001, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

c) Mechanics of Conversion.

i. Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2)Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock which, on or after the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends (other than those which may then be required by applicable securities laws). Prior to the Effective Date, all Conversion Shares will be issued with customary restrictive legends under federal and state securities laws.

ii. Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.

iii. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

iv. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

v. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Corporation (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

d) Exchange Cap. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder as part of the same transaction as the issuance of the Preferred Stock) would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”). Until the appropriate approval of the Company’s stockholders is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (together with any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder as part of the same transaction as the issuance of the Preferred Stock), Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by its pro rata share (based on the relative number of such shares Preferred Stock issued to each Holder).

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

c) Notice to the Holders.

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to each Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of this Preferred Stock (or any part hereof), subject to Section 6(d), during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

FORM OF WARRANT AGREEMENT

To Purchase Shares of Common Stock

U.S GOLD CORP.

Dated as of August [__], 2020 (the “Effective Date”)

WHEREAS, U.S. Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August [__], 2020 with the purchasers identified on the signature pages thereto for the sale of Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), including warrants to purchase Common Stock (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to [_____________________], or its designees (the “Warrantholder”) this Warrant Agreement, evidencing the right to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (this “Warrant”, “Warrant Agreement”, or this “Agreement”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder having executed and delivered the Purchase Agreement and provided the financial accommodations contemplated therein, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:

SECTION 1. GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK.

For value received, the Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to subscribe for and purchase, from the Company, up to [_____________] shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price per share of $6.00 (the “Exercise Price”). The number and Exercise Price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

“Charter” means the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or other constitutional document, as may be amended and in effect from time to time.

“Common Stock” means the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, as presently constituted under the Charter, and any class and/or series of Company capital stock for or into which such common stock may be converted or exchanged in a reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction.

“Liquid Sale” means the closing of a Merger Event in which the consideration received by the Company and/or its stockholders, as applicable, consists solely of cash and/or Marketable Securities.

“Marketable Securities” in connection with a Merger Event means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by the Warrantholder in connection with the Merger Event were the Warrantholder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market, and (iii) following the closing of such Merger Event, Warrantholder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Warrantholder in such Merger Event were Warrantholder to exercise this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Merger Event, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Merger Event.

“Merger Event” means any of the following: (i) a sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all assets of the Company, (ii) any merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock are otherwise converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock or other securities or property of another entity, or (iii) any sale by holders of the outstanding voting equity securities of the Company in a single transaction or series of related transactions of shares constituting a majority of the outstanding combined voting power of the Company.

“Purchase Price” means, with respect to any exercise of this Warrant, an amount equal to the then-effective Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is then exercised.

SECTION 2. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.

The term of this Agreement and the right to purchase Common Stock as granted herein shall commence on the Effective Date and, subject to Section 8(a) below, shall be exercisable for a period ending upon the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.

(a) Exercise. The purchase rights set forth in this Agreement are exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, subject to Section 3(b), prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than two (2) business days thereafter, the Company or its transfer agent shall, at the direction of the Warrantholder, either (i) issue to the Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased, or (ii) credit the same to the Warrantholder no later than the second (2^nd) trading day following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise, and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “Acknowledgment of Exercise”) indicating the number of shares which remain subject to future purchases under this Warrant, if any.

The Purchase Price may be paid at the Warrantholder’s election either (i) by cash or check, or (ii), if at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Warrantholder, by surrender of all or a portion of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock to be exercised under this Agreement and, if applicable, an amended Agreement setting forth the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder, as determined below (“Net Issuance”). If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, and such an exercise is permitted hereunder, the Company will issue shares of Common Stock in accordance with the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)

Where:	X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrantholder.

	Y = the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be exercised under this Agreement.

	A = the then-current fair market value of one (1) shares of Common Stock at the time of exercise.

	B = the then-effective Exercise Price.

For purposes of the above calculation, the current fair market value of shares of Common Stock shall mean with respect to each shares of Common Stock:

(i) at all times when the Common Stock shall be traded on a national securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter bulletin board service, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Warrantholder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a Net Issuance, as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

(ii) if the exercise is in connection with a Merger Event, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Merger Event as determined in accordance with the definitive transaction documents executed among the parties in connection therewith; or

(iii) in cases other than as described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the current fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Upon partial exercise by either cash or, upon request by the Warrantholder and surrender of all or a portion of this Warrant, Net Issuance, prior to the expiration or earlier termination hereof, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.

(b) Exchange Cap. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Warrantholder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, such Warrantholder (together with any Securities issued to the Warrantholder under the Purchase Agreement) would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”). Until the appropriate approval of the Company’s stockholders is obtained, no Warrantholder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon exercise of this Warrant (together with any shares Securities issued to the Warrantholder under the Purchase Agreement), Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by its pro rata share (based on the relative number of such shares Preferred Stock issued to each Holder).

SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.

During the term of this Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase Common Stock as provided for herein.

SECTION 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Agreement, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

SECTION 6. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.

Without limitation of any provision hereof, Warrantholder agrees that this Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of any of the purchase rights set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.

The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Agreement. Warrantholder’s initial address, for purposes of such registry, is set forth in Section 12(f) below. Warrantholder may change such address by giving written notice of such changed address to the Company.

SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.

The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:

(a) Merger Event. In connection with a Merger Event that is a Liquid Sale, this Warrant shall, on and after the closing thereof, automatically and without further action on the part of any party or other person, represent the right to receive the consideration payable on or in respect of all shares of Common Stock that are issuable hereunder as of immediately prior to the closing of such Merger Event less the Purchase Price for all such shares of Common Stock (such consideration to include both the consideration payable at the closing of such Merger Event and all deferred consideration payable thereafter, if any, including, but not limited to, payments of amounts deposited at such closing into escrow and payments in the nature of earn-outs, milestone payments or other performance-based payments), and such Merger Event consideration shall be paid to Warrantholder as and when it is paid to the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In connection with a Merger Event that is not a Liquid Sale, the Company shall cause the successor or surviving entity to assume this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder on the closing thereof, and thereafter this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same number and type of securities or other property as the Warrantholder would have received in consideration for the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder had it exercised this Warrant in full as of immediately prior to such closing, at an aggregate Exercise Price no greater than the aggregate Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to such closing, and subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 8(a) shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

(b) Reclassification of Shares. Except for Merger Events subject to Section 8(a), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes of securities, this Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change. The provisions of this Section 8(b) shall similarly apply to successive combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.

(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall combine or subdivide its Common Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately increased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately decreased.

(d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Agreement is outstanding and unexpired shall:

(i) pay a dividend with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, and the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately increased; or

(ii) make any other dividend or distribution on or with respect to Common Stock, except any dividend or distribution (A) in cash, or (B) specifically provided for in any other clause of this Section 8, then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such distribution as though it were the holder of the Common Stock (or other stock for which the Common Stock is convertible) as of the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.

(e) Notice of Certain Events. If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock, payable in stock, cash, property or other securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any Merger Event; or (iv) there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give the Warrantholder notice thereof at the same time and in the same manner as it gives notice thereof to the holders of outstanding Common Stock.

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will, at all times during the term hereof, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the term hereof the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

(b) Due Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, including the issuance to Warrantholder of the right to acquire the shares of Common Stock, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement: (1) does not violate the Company’s Charter or current bylaws; (2) does not contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to it; and (3) except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), does not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, except for the filing of notices pursuant to Regulation D under the Act and any filing required by applicable state securities law, which filings will be effective by the time required thereby.

(d) Exempt Transaction. Subject to the accuracy of the Warrantholder’s representations in Section 10, the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Agreement will constitute a transaction exempt from (i) the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act, in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof, and (ii) the qualification requirements of the applicable state securities laws.

SECTION 10. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.

This Agreement has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:

(a) Investment Purpose. This Warrant and the shares issued on exercise hereof will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Warrantholder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or exemption.

(b) Private Issue. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Warrant Shares are not, as of the Effective Date, registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws, and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on exemption from such registration is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 10.

(c) Financial Risk. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.

(d) Accredited Investor. Warrantholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, as presently in effect (“Regulation D”).

SECTION 11. TRANSFERS.

Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Agreement and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes) upon surrender of this Agreement properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Agreement, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Agreement, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Agreement shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Company’s books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Agreement as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Agreement. The transfer of this Agreement shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the “Transfer Notice”), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer.

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.

(b) Remedies. In the event of any default hereunder, the non-defaulting party may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including but not limited to an action for damages as a result of any such default, and/or an action for specific performance for any default where Warrantholder will not have an adequate remedy at law and where damages will not be readily ascertainable.

(c) No Impairment of Rights. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any other means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment.

(d) Additional Documents. The Company agrees to supply such other documents as the Warrantholder may from time to time reasonably request.

(e) Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(f) Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, service of process or other communication that is required, contemplated, or permitted under this Agreement or with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, delivered, and received upon the earlier of: (a) personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex, electronic transmission or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt, and shall be addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

U.S Gold Corp.

1910 East Idaho Street

Suite 102-Box 604

Elko, NV 89801

Attention: Edward M. Karr

E-mail: ek@usgoldcorp.gold

or to such other address as each party may designate for itself by like notice.

(g) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. None of the terms of this Agreement may be amended except by an instrument executed by each of the parties hereto.

(h) Headings. The various headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

(i) Advice of Counsel. Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed (or had an opportunity to discuss) with its counsel this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 12(m), 12(n), 12(o).

(j) No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(k) No Waiver. No omission or delay by Warrantholder at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by the Company at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Warrantholder is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Warrantholder to enforce such provisions thereafter.

(l) Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall be for the benefit of Warrantholder and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

(m) Governing Law. This Agreement has been negotiated and delivered to Warrantholder in the State of Nevada, and shall be deemed to have been accepted by Warrantholder in the State of Nevada. Delivery of shares of Common Stock to Warrantholder by the Company under this Agreement is due in the State of Nevada. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.

(n) Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Nevada. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to personal jurisdiction in Las Vegas, Nevada; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Las Vegas, Nevada; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 12(f), and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 12(f). Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(o) Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes arising under or in connection with this Warrant be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND WARRANTHOLDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY THE COMPANY AGAINST WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST THE COMPANY RELATING TO THIS WARRANT. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve persons or entities other the Company and Warrantholder; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between the Company and Warrantholder; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement.

(p) Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic delivery (PDF), and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(q) Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to Warrantholder by reason of the Company’s failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable by Warrantholder. If Warrantholder institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that Warrantholder has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.

(r) Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

(s) Legends. To the extent required by applicable laws, this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of such Warrant Shares, if any) may be imprinted with a restricted securities legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of Parent, Acquisition Corp. and the Company have approved the Merger in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, in the Nevada Articles of Merger, (the “Articles of Merger”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, the stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholders”) have approved this Agreement, the Articles of Merger and the transactions contemplated and described hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the Merger, and Parent, as the sole stockholder of Acquisition Corp., has approved by written consent pursuant to NRS Section 78.320(2), this Agreement, the Articles of Merger and the transactions contemplated and described hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the Merger; and

WHEREAS, on the date of this Agreement certain directors and officers of the Company have executed and delivered a voting agreement to the Parent in substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I.

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Articles of Merger, Acquisition Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with NRS Chapter 92A. At the Effective Time (as defined below), the separate legal existence of Acquisition Corp. shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “Northern Panther Resources Corporation.”

Section 1.02 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada in accordance with NRS Chapter 92A. The time at which the Merger shall become effective as aforesaid is referred to hereinafter as the “Effective Time.”

Section 1.03 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall occur on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall occur at the offices of Haynes and Boone, LLP referred to in Section 9.02 hereof. At the Closing, all of the documents, certificates, agreements, opinions and instruments referenced in Article VII will be executed and delivered as described therein. At the Effective Time, all actions to be taken at the Closing shall be deemed to be taken simultaneously.

Section 1.04 Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Directors and Officers.

(a) The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, attached as Exhibit C hereto, as amended by the Articles of Merger and as provided herein, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time until amended in accordance with applicable law and such Articles of Incorporation.

(b) The Bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, attached as Exhibit D hereto, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time until amended in accordance with applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

(c) Edward M. Karr shall be the President and sole director and Ted Sharp shall be the Secretary and Treasurer of the Surviving Corporation subsequent to the Closing Date until their respective successors shall have been elected or appointed and shall have qualified in accordance with applicable law, or as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.05 Assets and Liabilities. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of Acquisition Corp. and the Company (collectively, the “Constituent Corporations”); and all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent Corporations, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of the Constituent Corporations on whatever account, as well as all other things in action or belonging to each of the Constituent Corporations, shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation; and all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest shall be thereafter as effectively the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the several and respective Constituent Corporations, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in either of such Constituent Corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired by the Merger; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.

Section 1.06 Subscription Transaction. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall (A) release, or obtain the consent of the applicable subscription holders necessary to release, the $2,500,000.00 held in escrow in connection with outstanding subscription receipts between the Company and the holders of such receipts, and (B) complete all other actions in order to effect all outstanding subscriptions for shares of common stock (the “Subscription Transaction”).

Section 1.07 Manner and Basis of Converting Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time:

(i) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Acquisition Corp. that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Surviving Corporation, so that at the Effective Time, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation;

(ii) the shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) beneficially owned by the Stockholders of the Company (other than (A) shares of Company Common Stock as to which appraisal rights are perfected pursuant to the applicable provisions of the NRS and not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited and (B) each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive (i) 581,053 share(s) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) and (ii) 106,894 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock par value $0.001 of Parent (“Parent Preferred Stock” and, together with the Parent Common Stock, the “Parent Stock”), in such amounts as more specifically set forth on Schedule 1.07(a)(ii), which Parent Preferred Stock shall have substantially the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions set out in Exhibit F hereto and convert into Parent Common Stock on a 1 for 10 basis upon receipt of the approval (the “Parent Stockholder Approval”) by the requisite vote of the stockholders of the Parent (the “Parent Stockholders”) at the 2020 annual meeting of Parent Stockholders to be held on or about October 27, 2020 (the “Parent Stockholder Meeting”); and

(iii) each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in the Merger and cease to exist.

(b) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 1.07, the Company may instruct Parent to allocate Parent Preferred Stock among the holders of the Company Common Stock other than based on a pro rata allocation; provided, that no holder of Company Common Stock approve such different allocation and each holder of Company Common Stock receives an equivalent amount of Parent Common Stock for any Parent Preferred Stock that it would have otherwise received but for any different allocation of Parent Preferred Stock contemplated hereby. This Section 1.07(c) shall have no force and effect if it would result in adverse tax consequence to the Company or Parent.

Section 1.08 Surrender and Exchange of Certificates.

Concurrent with or promptly after the Effective Time and upon (a) surrender of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time or an affidavit and indemnification in form reasonably acceptable to counsel for Parent stating that such Stockholder has lost its certificate or certificates or that such have been destroyed or upon receipt by the Parent of a list of Stockholders for whom shares of Company Common Stock held were un-certificated and (b) delivery of a Letter of Transmittal (as described in Article IV hereof), Parent shall issue to each record holder of Company Common Stock surrendering such certificate, certificates or affidavit and Letter of Transmittal, a certificate or certificates registered in the name of such Stockholder representing the number of shares of Parent Stock that such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive as set forth in Section 1.07(a)(ii) hereof. Until the certificate, certificates, affidavit or certified list of Stockholders is or are surrendered together with the Letter of Transmittal as contemplated by this Section 1.08 and Article IV hereof, each certificate or affidavit that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender as aforesaid the Parent Stock specified in Schedule 1.07(a)(ii) for the holder thereof or to perfect any rights of appraisal that such holder may have pursuant to the applicable provisions of the NRS.

Section 1.09 Parent Stock. Parent agrees that it will cause the Parent Stock into which the Company Common Stock is converted at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.07(a)(ii) to be available for such purposes.

Section 1.10 Further Assurances. From time to time, from and after the Effective Time, as and when reasonably requested by Parent, the proper officers and directors of the Company as of the Effective Time shall, for and on behalf and in the name of the Company or otherwise, execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and other instruments and shall take or cause to be taken such further actions as Parent, Acquisition Corp. or their respective successors or assigns reasonably may deem necessary or desirable in order to confirm or record or otherwise transfer to the Surviving Corporation title to and possession of all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers, franchises and immunities of the Company or otherwise to carry out fully the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article II.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Acquisition Corp. as follows:

Section 2.01 Organization, Standing, Subsidiaries, Etc.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has all requisite power and authority (corporate and other) to carry on its business, to own or lease its properties and assets, to enter into this Agreement and the Articles of Merger and to carry out the terms hereof and thereof. Copies of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company that have been delivered to Parent and Acquisition Corp. prior to the execution of this Agreement are true and complete and have not since been amended or repealed.

(b) The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary, Western Panther Resources Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“WPRC”), which owns a 100% membership interest in Eagle Resources Management LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ERM” and, together with WPRC, the “Company Subsidiaries”). Each of the Company Subsidiaries is a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, as applicable, and has all requisite power and authority (corporate and other) to carry on its business as presently conducted and to own or lease its properties and assets. Copies of the organizational documents of the Company Subsidiaries that have been delivered to Parent and Acquisition Corp. prior to the execution of this Agreement are true and complete and have not been amended or repealed.

(c) Each of the Company Subsidiaries is wholly and directly or indirectly owned by the Company. Other than with respect to the Company Subsidiaries, the Company has no direct or indirect interest (by way of stock ownership or otherwise) in any firm, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or business. Other than with respect to the ownership interests disclosed in Section 2.01(b), no Company Subsidiary has any direct or indirect interest (by way of stock ownership or otherwise) in any firm, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or business.

Section 2.02 Qualification. Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction wherein the nature of its activities or its properties owned or leased makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities, business operations, results of operations or prospects of the Company, or the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (the “Condition of the Company”).

Section 2.03 Capitalization. The authorized and outstanding capital stock of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is listed on Schedule 2.03. All of the outstanding capital stock of the Company and of each Company Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and none of such capital stock has been issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any natural person, corporation, business trust, association, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, other entity, government, agency or political subdivision (each, a “Person”).

Article V.
CONDUCT OF BUSINESSES of the Company PENDING THE MERGER.

Section 5.01 Conduct of Business. Prior to the Effective Time, unless Parent or Acquisition Corp. shall otherwise agree in writing or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement:

(b) the business of the Company and each Company Subsidiary shall be conducted only in the ordinary course;

(c) the Company shall not (i) directly or indirectly redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire or agree to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital stock; (ii) amend its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws except to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby or (iii) split, combine or reclassify the outstanding Company Common Stock or declare, set aside or pay any dividend payable in cash, stock or property or make any distribution with respect to any such stock;

(d) the Company shall not, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary not to (i) issue or agree to issue any additional shares of, or options, warrants or rights of any kind to acquire any shares of, Company Common Stock, Equity Securities or any equity appreciation, phantom equity, profit participation, or similar rights with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, except to issue shares of Company Common Stock in connection with any matter relating to the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) acquire or dispose of any fixed assets or acquire or dispose of any other substantial assets other than in the ordinary course of business; (iii) incur any Indebtedness or any other liabilities or enter into any other transaction other than in the ordinary course of business or to effect the Merger; (iv) enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement with respect to any of the foregoing or (v) except as contemplated by this Agreement, enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement to dissolve, merge, consolidate or enter into any other material business combination;

(e) the Company shall preserve intact the business organization of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, to keep available the service of its present officers and key employees, and to preserve the good will of those having business relationships with it;

(f) the Company will not, nor will it authorize any director or authorize or permit any officer or employee or any attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it to make, solicit, encourage any inquiries with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, any Acquisition Proposal (as defined below for purposes of this paragraph). The Company will promptly advise Parent orally and in writing of any such inquiries or proposals (or requests for information) and the substance thereof. As used in this paragraph, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any proposal for a merger or other business combination involving the Company or for the acquisition of a substantial equity interest in it or any material assets of the Company other than as contemplated by this Agreement. The Company will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in response to the receipt of a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that does not result from a breach of this Section 5.01(f) by the Company and that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Acquisition Proposal (as defined below for purposes of this paragraph), the Company may (1) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (provided, that (i) all such information has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent prior to or concurrently with the provision of such information to such Person) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement that does not restrict the Company’s ability to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.01 and (2) participate in discussions and negotiations regarding the terms of such Acquisition Proposal and any definitive agreement related thereto. As used in this paragraph, “Superior Acquisition Proposal” shall mean a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, which the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, and taking into account the legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal, the identity of the Person making the proposal and any financing required for such proposal, the ability of the Person making such proposal to obtain such required financing and the level of certainty with respect to such required financing, and such other factors that are deemed relevant by the Company Board, is more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of this Agreement that are committed to in writing by Parent (including pursuant to Section 5.01(g)). Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.01(f) by any representative of the Company or any of its Affiliates, in each case, at the Company’s direction, shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.01(f) by the Company. Except as set forth in this Section 5.01(f), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall authorize, permit, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to authorize, permit, approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, agreement or commitment constituting, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or requiring, or that would reasonably be expected to cause, the Company to abandon or terminate this Agreement (a “Company Acquisition Agreement”);

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time prior to obtaining Stockholder approval, the Company Board may change the Company Board Recommendation if the Company has received a Superior Acquisition Proposal that does not result from a breach (other than an immaterial breach) of Section 5.01 by the Company and if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor) that the failure to change its recommendation in response to the receipt of such Superior Acquisition Proposal, would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, however, that the Company Board may not change the Company Board Recommendation unless (1) the Company Board has provided prior written notice to Parent (a “Company Recommendation Change Notice”) that it is prepared to effect a change of the Company Board Recommendation at least five (5) business days prior to taking such action, which notice shall specify the basis for such intended action and, in the case of a Superior Acquisition Proposal, attaching the most current draft of any Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Acquisition Proposal or, if no draft exists, a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Acquisition Proposal, (2) during the five (5) Business Day period after delivery of the Company Recommendation Change Notice, the Company and its representatives negotiate in good faith with Parent and its representatives regarding any revisions to this Agreement that Parent proposes to make, and (3) at the end of such five (5) business day period and taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to in writing by Parent, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor) that the failure to change the Company Board Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and that the Acquisition Proposal still constitutes a Superior Acquisition Proposal;

(h) the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, enter into any new agreement or amend or modify any current agreements with any of its current or former officers or employees, grant any increases in the compensation or benefits of any of its officers and employees, or adopt, amend, modify or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, agreement, arrangement, policy, practice, commitment, contract or understanding that would be an Employee Benefit Plan if in existence as of the date hereof; and

(i) the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, take any other action outside of the ordinary course of business.

In order to obtain any necessary governmental or regulatory action or non-action, waiver, consent, extension or approval, each of Parent, Acquisition Corp. and the Company agrees to take all reasonable actions and to enter into all reasonable agreements as may be necessary to obtain timely governmental or regulatory approvals and to take such further action in connection therewith as may be necessary. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and/or directors of Parent, Acquisition Corp. and the Company shall take all such necessary action.

Section 6.03 Publicity. No party shall issue any press release or public announcement pertaining to the Merger that has not been agreed upon in advance by Parent and the Company, except as Parent reasonably determines to be necessary in order to comply with the rules of the Commission or of the principal trading exchange or market for the Parent Common Stock, provided, that in such case Parent will use its best efforts to allow the Company to review and reasonably approve any such press release or public announcement prior to its release.

Section 6.04 Appointment of Directors and Officers. Immediately at the Effective Time, the Parent shall appoint or cause to be appointed George Bee as President of the Parent, provided that the officers and directors of the Parent prior to the Closing Date shall otherwise remain the officers and directors of the Parent after the Closing Date.

The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of a majority in interest of the Stockholders according to each Stockholder’s respective percentage of ownership in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Majority Holders”); provided, however, in no event shall Stockholder Representative resign or be removed without the Majority Holders having first appointed a new Stockholder Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the resignation or removal of Stockholder Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Majority Holders. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Stockholder Representative shall be sent to Parent, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by Parent; provided, that until such notice is received, Parent, Acquisition Corp. and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Stockholder Representative as described in this Section 9.01.

The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Stockholders for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and conclusive, non-appealable judgment to have constituted gross negligence or involved fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). The Stockholders shall severally and not jointly (in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time), indemnify and hold harmless Stockholder Representative from and against, compensate it for, reimburse it for and pay any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with its activities as Stockholder Representative under this Agreement (the “Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith of Stockholder Representative, Stockholder Representative shall reimburse the Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith. The Representative Losses shall be satisfied from the Stockholders, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time).

FORM OF LEAK-OUT AGREEMENT

THIS LEAK-OUT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August __, 2020, by and among U.S. Gold Corp. (the “Parent”) and the undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”).

RECITALS

A. WHEREAS, Parent, Gold King Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and Northern Panther Resources Corporation (the “Company”) are concurrently entering into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company, with Company continuing as the surviving corporation thereafter (the “Merger”) and continuing its existence as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent;

B. WHEREAS, the Merger was consummated simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement;

C. WHEREAS, as an inducement to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as one of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger, the Stockholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement; and

D. WHEREAS, the Stockholder was a former stockholder of the Company and has received as consideration for the Merger shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and/or shares of Parent Preferred Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which are convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock (the Parent Common Stock received pursuant to the Merger together with any shares of Parent Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Parent Preferred Stock received pursuant to the Merger, the “Merger Shares”);

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Merger Agreement.

2. Representations and Warranties of Stockholder. Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company:

(a) The Stockholder is a natural person, corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company, or limited company. If Stockholder is a corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company, or limited company, Stockholder is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organized or constituted. The Stockholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Stockholder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Stockholder and no other proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent such enforcement is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar legal requirements of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and by general equitable principles.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by the Stockholder of the covenants and obligations hereunder will not result in any breach or violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree, law, regulation or arrangement to which such the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder (or any of his, her, or its assets) is bound.

3. Leak-Out. For so long as the Stockholder owns any Merger Shares, she, he or it will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Parent:

(a) sell any Merger Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market or securities exchange or trading market where the Merger Shares are traded (the “Trading Market”) in excess of 10% of the daily trading volume for the Parent Common Stock on the Trading Market on such trading day; and

(b) otherwise sell, grant an option for the purchase or sale of, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate, distribute or otherwise encumber or dispose of any Merger Shares or any beneficial interest therein (collectively a “Transfer”), unless, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Merger Shares subject to the Transfer as if such transferee had been originally named as the Stockholder under this Agreement.

4. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Amendments, Modifications and Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement shall be effective against any party unless it shall be in writing and signed by the Stockholder and the Parent.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to any applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Las Vegas, Nevada for any action, dispute or proceeding arising out of this Agreement.

(d) Assignment and Successors. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successor and permitted assigns. This Agreement and all the provisions hereof may not be assigned by the Stockholder or the Parent without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, this Agreement shall be binding on the transferee of any Transfer of Merger Shares.

(e) No Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(g) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

(h) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The Stockholder acknowledges that the Parent may be irreparably harmed and that there may be no adequate remedy at law for a breach of any of the covenants or agreements of the Stockholder set forth in this Agreement. Therefore, the Stockholder hereby agrees that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Parent upon any such breach, the Parent shall have the right to seek specific performance, injunctive relief or any other remedies available to such party at law or in equity.

(i) Notices. All notices, consents, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing (which shall include communications by e-mail) and shall be delivered (a) in person or by courier or overnight service, or (b) by e-mail with a copy delivered as provided in clause (a):

Section 2.02 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other Purchaser:

(a) Organization and Standing of the Purchasers. If the Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

(f) No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of August __, 2020, by and among each of the undersigned stockholders (collectively, the “Stockholders”) of U.S. Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Richard, Silas, in his capacity as stockholder representative (“Stockholder Representative”) of the stockholders of Northern Panther Resources Corporation (“NPRC”).

WHEREAS, the Stockholders collectively own 12.2% of the shares of common stock of the Company (such shares of the Company common stock, together with all shares of the Company common stock which may hereafter be acquired by the Stockholders prior to the termination of this Agreement, shall be referred to herein as the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company has entered or will enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”) with NPRC, which provides, among other things, that Gold King Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will merge with and NPRC (the “Merger”) and NPRC shall be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the requisite approval from its stockholders for the conversion of its Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, into shares of its common stock, par value $0.001, on a 1 for 10 basis (the “Conversion”), at the 2020 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on or about October 27, 2020 (the “Meeting”), in accordance with the applicable rules of the Commission and NASDAQ Rule 5635;

WHEREAS, as an inducement to NPRC’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger, which the Stockholders believe the Company will derive substantial benefits from through its ownership interest in NPRC, the Stockholders are entering into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company and NPRC have made it a condition to their entering into the Merger Agreement that the Stockholders agree to vote the Shares in favor of the Conversion.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

Voting of Shares

1.1 Voting Agreement; Irrevocable Proxy.

(b) Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby appoints the Stockholder Representative, until the Expiration Time (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shares in accordance with Section 1(a). This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of each Stockholder under this Agreement. Each Stockholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by each Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by each Stockholder with respect to the Shares. The power of attorney granted by each Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, death, or incapacity of such Stockholder.

(c) The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect (or attempt to exercise, assert or perfect) any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger or quasi-appraisal rights that it may at any time have under applicable law, including the Nevada Revised Statutes. The Stockholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against the Company, NPRC, the Stockholder Representative, or any of their respective successors, directors or officers, (a) challenging the validity, binding nature or enforceability of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation, entry into or consummation of the Merger Agreement.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by him/her/it does not, and the performance of this Agreement by him/her/it will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory body.

2.3 Title to the Shares. Each of the Stockholders is the owner of the number and class of Shares specified on Annex I hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, agreements, limitations on voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever except as otherwise specified on Annex I. No Stockholder has appointed or granted any proxy, which appointment or grant is still effective, with respect to the Shares. Each Stockholder has sole voting power with respect to his, her or its Shares except as otherwise specified on Annex I.

ARTICLE 3

Additional Covenants

3.1 Transfer of the Shares. Each of the Stockholders hereby covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, the Stockholder will not, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, sell, pledge, transfer, or otherwise voluntarily dispose of (“Transfer”) any of the Shares which are owned by the Stockholder (except Shares held in a fiduciary capacity) or take any other voluntary action which would have the effect of removing the Stockholder’s power to vote his, her or its Shares or which would otherwise be inconsistent with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable, this Section 3.1 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares upon the death of a Stockholder to an immediate family member or Affiliate of such Stockholders; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee shall agree in writing to be subject to each of the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering an Adoption Agreement in accordance with Section 4.10(b).

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

4.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.

4.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

U.S. Gold Corp. Acquires Northern Panther Resource Corporation

Acquisition Brings Seasoned Mining Industry Professionals and up to $8.0 Million in Additional Capital

ELKO, NV, August 12, 2020 – U.S. Gold Corp. (Nasdaq: USAU) (the “Company”) a gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce it has closed the acquisition of Northern Panther Resource Corporation (“Northern Panther”) in an all-share transaction pursuant to a merger agreement between Company and Northern Panther. Northern Panther, a Nevada corporation, has merged into a new subsidiary of U.S. Gold Corp. Northern Panther’s principal asset is the Chalice Gold exploration project and it also has $2.5 million in cash. Concurrently with the closing of the merger, several Northern Panther shareholders have led a concurrent financing in which the Company received subscriptions for shares of its preferred stock and warrants up to $5.5 million, bringing a total of up to $8.0 million in additional capital to the Company.

Northern Panther’s Chalice Gold Project provides U.S. Gold Corp. with its newest exploration project, located in Idaho. The founding group of Northern Panther has significant experience in growing mining companies with Chalice Gold being a high-priority drill-ready target in a premier and growing U.S. gold district.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, U.S. Gold Corp. has issued 581,053 restricted common shares to shareholders of Northern Panther, in addition to 106,894 shares of newly created Series H perpetual preferred stock. Each share of Series H preferred stock will potentially convert into 10 common shares of U.S. Gold Corp. following a shareholder vote, anticipated to be on the Proxy Statement at the Company’s next annual general meeting.

Northern Panther is a newly formed Nevada corporation comprised of leading mining industry shareholders. One of its shareholders, Mr. George Bee, is a seasoned mining industry professional. His career spans over 30 years of experience operating and developing world-class mines and projects, most recently in Latin America. He was the former President, CEO and Director of Andina Minerals Inc. and served on the Board of Directors of Peregrine Metals, which was acquired by Stillwater Mining Company. Previously, he was Chief Operating Officer at Aurelian Resources, Inc. where he was primarily responsible for the development of the Fruta del Norte Project in Ecuador. Prior to that, Mr. Bee was Director, Technical Projects for Barrick Gold Corporation. During his 16-year career at Barrick, he was responsible for a number of operating and development projects. Having been part of the team that developed Goldstrike in Nevada in phases between 1988 and 1995, he left Goldstrike as Mine Manager. In 1998, Mr. Bee returned to Barrick as Operations Manager to bring together the operating team and work to finalize the construction and commence operations at the Pierina gold mine in Peru, culminating in his oversight of the first full year of production of over 800,000 oz of gold. He left in 2000 for the Pascua Lama project in Chile before moving in 2002 to the Veladero mine, where he was responsible for leading the team that took the mine from advanced exploration through feasibility, permitting and into production. Veladero was the first major mine investment to be made in Argentina’s San Juan province and one of the first investments in Argentina after the financial crisis of 2001-2002. Mr. Bee is a graduate of the Camborne School of Mines in Cornwall, United Kingdom.

Another notable Northern Panther shareholder, Mr. Robert Schafer, has more than 40 years of exploration and mergers and acquisition experience in both the junior and senior mining sectors. Mr. Schafer has mining experience in more than 70 countries. His past executive management and Board experience includes Hunter Dickinson Group, Kinross Gold and BHP Billiton. Mr. Schafer is the former President of the SME, PDAC, CIM, MMSA and Boards of Mining Halls of Fame in the US and Canada. Mr. Schafer was awarded the Saunders Gold Medal (A.I.M.E), Jackling Award (SME) and Dreyer Award (SME) for career achievements in the mining industry.

“Northern Panther Resource Corporation is another strategic acquisition for U.S. Gold Corp. In addition to acquiring this new high potential exploration project, we are very pleased to welcome Mr. George Bee, Mr. Robert Schafer and others as new shareholders of U.S. Gold,” stated Edward Karr, President & CEO of U.S. Gold Corp. “This acquisition was very attractive for our Board, and we view this as a win for our shareholders,” Mr. Karr continued. “We are acquiring not only an additional high-potential exploration project, but a significant cash balance and some of the industry’s leading shareholders, who plan to be very hands-on going forward. The Chalice Gold project is located in the western state of Idaho and has, we believe, significant upside exploration potential. USAU shareholders now benefit from exploration and development projects in three of what we believe are the best U.S. states for mining development – Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho.”

The Chalice Gold Project is located approximately 75 kilometers southwest of Salmon, Idaho, within the tertiary challis volcanic field. The Chalice Gold Project is a low sulfidation, gold/silver epithermal vein and stockwork deposit localized along intersecting NW – NE trending shear structures in a window of sedimentary rocks exposed through the challis volcanics. The Project has a historic 43-101 (not current) resource of approximately 313,825 ounces of gold at a grade of 1.22 grams / ton gold, with a potential low strip ratio and exploration upside potential. U.S. Gold Corp. will be designing and announcing future exploration programs to advance the project.

We received subscriptions from investors to acquire 921,666 shares of newly created Series I preferred stock and warrants to purchase 921,666 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share in the concurrent financing. Each share of Series I preferred stock will potentially convert into 1 common share of U.S. Gold Corp. following a shareholder vote, anticipated to be on the Proxy Statement at the Company’s next Annual General Meeting. The exercise of the warrants is also subject to shareholder approval at the next Annual General Meeting. The closing of the financing is subject to customary closing conditions.

Exhibit 99.2

U.S. Gold Corp. Announces the Appointment of Senior Mining Industry Executive Mr. George Bee as President

Former Barrick Gold Executive with Proven Track Record as Mine Builder and Operator

ELKO, NV, August 13, 2020 – U.S. Gold Corp. (Nasdaq: USAU) (the “Company”), a gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that Mr. George Bee has been appointed as President.

Mr. Bee is a senior mining industry executive, with deep mine development and operational experience. He has an extensive career advancing world-class gold mining projects in eight countries on three continents for both major and junior mining companies. Most recently in 2018 Mr. Bee concluded a third term with Barrick Gold as Senior VP Frontera District in Chile and Argentina to advance Pascua Lama feasibility as an underground mine. This capped a 16-year history with Barrick Gold with positions that included Mine Manager at Goldstrike during early development and operations, Operations Manager at Pierina Mine taking Pierina from construction to operations, and General Manager of Veladero developing the project from advanced exploration through permitting, feasibility and into production.

With his Barrick experience and having had eight years in South Africa working underground gold with Anglo American and open pit copper with Rio Tinto at Palabora Mine, Mr. Bee was well placed to advance projects internationally and domestically as a senior executive. This led to his appointment to various board and leadership positions at various companies. As COO of Aurelian Resources in 2007, he was in charge of project development for Fruta del Norte in Ecuador until Aurelian was acquired by Kinross Gold in 2008. Post-acquisition, moving on from Kinross, where he had also previously worked from 1996 to 1998 advancing projects in El Salvador and Nevada, he joined Andina Minerals as CEO in 2009. Andina and its 6 million-ounce Volcan Gold Project in Chile was acquired by Hochschild in 2013. By this time Mr. Bee had been appointed to the boards of Peregrine Metals and later Stillwater Mining and Jaguar Mining. In 2014, he also assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar Mining, operating mines in Brazil, as the company emerged from a financial restructuring process.

Mr. Bee is a graduate of the Camborne School of Mines in Cornwall, United Kingdom and is a member of the Institute of Corporate Directors with an ICD.D designation.

Edward Karr, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Gold Corp., stated, “All of the Directors of U.S. Gold Corp. are thrilled to welcome George Bee to the company. George is a proven mining industry executive with deep operational experience. George’s addition comes at a very key inflection point for U.S. Gold Corp. as we seek to advance our Copper King project towards the completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study and into future production. We know that George’s experience and skill set will help advance all of our projects.”

Mr. George Bee commented, “I look forward to joining the team. U.S. Gold Corp. has attractive exploration and development projects in three mining friendly jurisdictions of Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho. I am confident that my prior experience can add significant value to the company. In completing extensive due diligence on the Copper King project, I am very comfortable that it is a robust project with a clear path to production. As the main value metric on the Copper King project is gold, we have decided to change the name going forward to the CK Gold Project to more accurately reflect the project economics. Returning to my old stomping grounds in Nevada is a treat and I look forward to using my industry experience and mining skill set to add value to the entire Company.”
