Dataram Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire US Gold Corp. (USGC).

US Gold Corp. controls the Copper King Project, an advanced stage gold exploration project based in Wyoming, which owns certain mining leases and other mineral rights in the Silver Crown Mining District of southeast Wyoming, and has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain mining claims related to a gold development project in Eureka County, Nevada known as the “Keystone Project.” The acquisition of the Keystone Project is expected to be completed prior to consummation of Dataram’s acquisition of USCG.

Under the agreement, Dataram will acquire USGC and its subsidiaries.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for our stockholders. We have been actively looking for diversification opportunities for more than a year and our entry into the natural resources sector is intended to diversify risks and unlock value for our stockholders. Our executive management team sees this acquisition as an economically viable and exciting project given the overall landscape and market opportunity within natural resources. While the global memory business is continuing to experience significant average selling price declines and strong margin pressure, we have refocused the core business to operate in this environment. After the acquisition concludes, Dataram will consider all options to maximize its memory products and performance solutions business in the best interest of the pre-acquisition stockholders. We further believe the acquisition of US Gold will generate strong capital appreciation,” said Dave Moylan, chairman and chief executive officer of Dataram.

“We’re enthusiastic about the opportunities created through this acquisition and believe the combined companies will generate significant value for our stockholders. On an industry analysis, we are seeing gold equities rebounding in 2016. U.S. Gold has a top quality management and advisory team and owns the Copper King property, which has a prior completed preliminary economic assessment (PEA) by Mine Development Associates showing measured, indicated, and inferred resources of 1.1 million oz. of gold and 285 million lbs. of copper. The PEA was completed in 2012 at a lower gold price and shows a net present value of Copper King of $160 million at $1,100 gold. We are excited to move forward on advancing our development and exploration project,” said Edward Karr, CEO and director of U.S. Gold Corp.
