The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Schedule 13D filed by Robert Ross McEwen (“Mr. McEwen”) with respect to the Common Stock of US Gold Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“US Gold”).  This Amendment No. 2 amends the original Schedule 13D filed by Mr. McEwen with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed on March 6, 2006 (as amended hereby and thereby, the “Amended Schedule 13D”), to reflect Mr. McEwen’s acquisition of Exchangeable Shares of US Gold Canadian Acquisition Corporation (“Canadian Exchange Co.”), which are immediately convertible into Common Stock, as is more fully described in Items 3 and 4 below.

(“Nevada Pacific”) and White Knight Resources Ltd. (“White Knight”), Director of Tone Resources Limited (“Tone Resources”), and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lexam Explorations Inc.

Mr. McEwen is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of US Gold, but disclaims beneficial ownership of any Exchangeable Shares beneficially owned by US Gold or Canadian Exchange Co. (together with US Gold, the “Offerors”)  The purpose of the Offers was for the Offerors to acquire a sufficient number of common shares of the Target Companies to enable the Offerors to acquire any remaining outstanding common shares of the Target Companies through statutory plans of arrangement or similar transactions under Canadian law.  As of the date hereof, the Offerors have commenced such transactions with respect to each of the Target Companies.

In connection with the Offers, Canadian Exchange Co. issued 38,027,674 Exchangeable Shares, which are convertible on a one-for-one basis at any time into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder of the Exchangeable Shares.  The Exchangeable Shares are intended to have, to the extent practicable, the same economic, voting and other rights of the Common Stock.
