Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 1, dated February 22, 2006 (this “Amendment”), amends the original Schedule 13D, dated July 29, 2005 (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment relates to the common stock, no par value (“U.S. Gold Common Stock”), of U.S. Gold Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“U.S. Gold”). The address of the principal executive offices of U.S. Gold is 2201 Kipling Street, Suite 100, Lakewood, Colorado 80215-1545.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented to replace sections (b) and (c) with the following:

(b) and (c) McEwen’s business address is c/o U.S. Gold Corporation, 3rd Floor, 99 George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5A 2N4. McEwen’s principal occupation is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Gold, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Lexam Explorations Inc. and Executive Chairman of Coral Gold Resources Ltd. Lexam Explorations Inc. is a Toronto, Canada-based oil and gas exploration company with exploration activity in the United States of America and Coral Gold Resources Ltd. is a gold exploration company based in Vancouver, British Columbia with operations in the United States of America.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

The purchase price for the 667,000 Subscription Receipts purchased on February 22, 2006 was $3,001,500, paid in cash from McEwen’s personal funds. No funds were borrowed by McEwen in order to complete his acquisition of the Subscription Receipts.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

(a). The purchases of the Subscription Receipts reported in this Amendment were made for the purpose of making an additional investment in U.S. Gold. Consistent with such purpose, McEwen has had, and expects to continue to have, discussions with management of U.S. Gold concerning U.S. Gold and his investment in U.S. Gold. McEwen may also engage in such discussions with other shareholders of U.S. Gold.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for Subscription Receipts (the “Subscription Agreement”), effective February 22, 2006 (the “Closing Date”), McEwen acquired 667,000 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”), at a price of $4.50 per Subscription Receipt. Each Subscription Receipt is convertible, subject to adjustments and penalties, without payment of any additional consideration into one unit (“Unit”) consisting of one share of U.S. Gold Common Stock and one-half common stock purchase warrant. Each common stock warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of U.S. Gold Common Stock for a period of five years form the Closing Date at a price of $10.00.

50% of the price paid by McEwen is being held in escrow to be released on the date (the “Release Date”) upon which the Release Conditions are satisfied. The “Release Conditions” mean the conditions to be satisfied prior to automatic conversion of the Subscription Receipts, which shall be satisfied upon the latest to occur of the following: (i) the third business day after the date on which a final receipt has been issued for a final prospectus of U.S. Gold which qualifies the distribution of the securities underlying the Subscription Receipts in those provinces in Canada where the Subscription Receipts were sold; (ii) the completion and filing of a current technical report regarding the Tonkin Springs gold project that complies with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators; (iii) the common stock of U.S. Gold is listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, (iv) the declaration by the securities and Exchange Commission of the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the securities underlying the Subscription Receipt and the compensation option issued to the agents offering the subscription receipts on U.S. Gold’s behalf; and (v) the delivery of a “10b-5” opinion to the agents provided by United States counsel to U.S. Gold. If and when the Release Conditions are satisfied, U.S. Gold will receive the 50% of the price being held in escrow.

In the event that the Release Conditions are not satisfied within 12 months of the Closing Date, the escrow funds shall be returned to McEwen in exchange for 50% of his outstanding Subscription Receipts. The remaining 50% of the Subscription Receipts will be exchanged into Units not later than 18 months after the Closing Date.

McEwen may, in the future, purchase additional shares of U.S. Gold Common Stock or other securities of U.S. Gold depending on the price of the shares and circumstances at the time such acquisitions, if any, are made.

(b). McEwen may from time to time discuss with management and the Board of Directors of U.S. Gold the possibility of U.S. Gold acquiring, or combining with, other companies in select circumstances, including other companies that (like U.S. Gold) hold mining interests in the Cortez Trend, Nevada. Consistent with that possibility, U.S. Gold announced by press release on Sunday, March 5, 2006, that it proposes to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd., Coral Gold Resources Ltd., White Knight Resources Ltd. and Tone Resources Ltd. In his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Gold, McEwen intends to support these acquisitions.

(c). Not applicable.

(d). In and consistent with his role as a director of U.S. Gold, McEwen will be active in the selection of a director of U.S. Gold to replace Mr. Richard Mauro, who resigned as a director, effective March 1, 2006.

(f). Not applicable.

(g). Not applicable.
