DIRECTORS’ CIRCULAR

RECOMMENDING ACCEPTANCE
OF THE OFFER BY

US GOLD CANADIAN ACQUISITION CORPORATION
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of

U.S. GOLD CORPORATION

TO ACQUIRE ALL OUTSTANDING COMMON SHARES OF

WHITE KNIGHT RESOURCES LTD.

FOR 0.35 OF AN EXCHANGEABLE SHARE OF US GOLD CANADIAN
ACQUISITION CORPORATION FOR EACH WHITE KNIGHT COMMON SHARE

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WHITE KNIGHT UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS ACCEPT THE OFFER AND
TENDER THEIR WHITE KNIGHT SHARES TO THE U.S. GOLD OFFER

NOTICE TO NON-CANADIAN SHAREHOLDERS

White Knight’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies and other non-Canadian companies. The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws or under the laws of other non-Canadian jurisdictions may be affected adversely by the fact that White Knight is incorporated under the laws of Canada and some or all of its directors and executive officers are residents of Canada. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of other non-Canadian jurisdictions. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a United States or other non-Canadian court’s judgment. This transaction has not been approved or disapproved by any United States or other securities regulatory authority, nor has any such authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this document.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          Certain information included in this Directors’ Circular, including information relating to the acquisition by U.S. Gold Corporation (“U.S. Gold”) of common shares of White Knight Resources Ltd. (“White Knight”) by way of a takeover bid, as outlined in the circular filed by U.S. Gold and US Gold Canadian Acquisition Corporation (“Canadian Exchange Co.” and together with U.S. Gold, the “Offerors”) with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada on February 12, 2007, and in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and the prospectus dated February 12, 2007 (forming part of a Registration Statement on Form S-4), filed by U.S. Gold and the Offerors, respectively, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 12, 2007 (collectively, the “U.S. Gold Circular”), and the future financial or operating performance of U.S. Gold and other statements that express management’s expectations or estimates of future performance, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws in Canada (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

          Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives”, “potential”, “budgets”, “scheduled”, “predicts”, “believes” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements”. Statements concerning resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies.

          White Knight cautions the reader that forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of White Knight (and U.S. Gold upon completion of the takeover bid) to be materially different from the estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Many of the risks, uncertainties and other factors associated with the forward-looking statements are listed in the U.S. Gold Circular.

          The following factors, among others, related to the business combination of White Knight and U.S. Gold could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from the results or developments expressed or implied by forward-looking statements: the Exchangeable Shares issued in connection with the Offer may have a market value lower than expected market value; the businesses of U.S. Gold and White Knight may not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; and the expected combination benefits from the acquisition of White Knight may not be fully realized by U.S. Gold or not realized within the expected time frame. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the combination of White Knight with U.S. Gold.

          White Knight’s forward-looking statements are based on the expectations, beliefs and opinions of management on the date on which the statements are made. White Knight disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Shareholders should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

BACKGROUND TO THE OFFER

          Certain information contained herein with respect to the activities of Mr. Robert R. McEwen and U.S. Gold in connection with the Offer is not within the knowledge of White Knight and was included in the U.S. Gold Circular. These statements have been included herein for Shareholders interested in the background to the Offer. White Knight accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such statements.

          On June 28, 2005, Mr. McEwen purchased 5,681,705 Shares representing a 10.5% ownership in White Knight. Mr. McEwen purchased such Shares in a private purchase from Goldcorp Inc. for an average purchase price of $0.81 per Share.

          On July 5, 2005, Mr. McEwen purchased 2,270,700 Shares representing an additional 4.2% ownership in White Knight. Following such purchase, Mr. McEwen held an aggregate of 7,952,427 Shares (or 14.7% of the outstanding Shares). Mr. McEwen purchased such Shares on the TSX-V for an average purchase price of $0.91 per Share.

          In July 2005, Mr. McEwen was given a tour of certain of the White Knight properties in Nevada by Mr. John M. Leask, the Chairman of White Knight, Mr. Gordon P. Leask, a director of White Knight, and certain members of White Knight management. During this tour, Mr. McEwen engaged in preliminary discussions with Messrs. Leask and Leask about the concept of consolidating properties along the Cortez Trend in Nevada.

          On July 22, 2005, Mr. McEwen purchased a further 1,600,000 Shares representing an additional 2.9% ownership in White Knight. Following such purchase, Mr. McEwen held an aggregate of 9,552,427 Shares of White Knight (or approximately 16.1% of the outstanding Shares). Mr. McEwen purchased such Shares on the TSX-V for an average purchase price of $1.26 per Share.

          On August 11, 2005, Mr. McEwen, Mr. Ian Ball, an employee of U.S. Gold, and Mr. Stefan Spears, a consultant to U.S. Gold, met with Messrs. Leask and Leask and Mr. Brian Edgar, a director of White Knight, at U.S. Gold’s office in Toronto, Ontario. On November 16, 2005, Messrs. McEwen and Ball met with Mr. John M. Leask and Mr. William Rand, an advisor to White Knight and a business associate of Mr. Edgar, in Vancouver, British Columbia. In addition, during the summer and fall of 2005, Mr. McEwen and representatives of White Knight engaged in a number of telephone conversations. During these meetings and telephone conversations, the representatives of each company engaged in further preliminary discussions regarding the concept of consolidating properties along the Cortez Trend in Nevada.

          On March 5, 2006, U.S. Gold announced that it intended to acquire, by way of securities exchange take over bid, all of the outstanding common shares of White Knight, Nevada Pacific, Coral Gold Resources Ltd. and Tone Resources, each of which was exploring in the Cortez Trend in Nevada.

          On March 6, 2006, White Knight announced that management was evaluating the proposal by U.S. Gold.

          On March 7, 2006, Mr. McEwen announced that, in his capacity as a Shareholder, he intended to support the proposal of U.S. Gold to acquire each of White Knight, Nevada Pacific, Coral Gold Resources Ltd. and Tone Resources.

          On March 22, 2006, White Knight announced that its Board had engaged Genuity Capital Markets to act as its financial advisor to assist White Knight and its Board in considering and evaluating strategic alternatives, to provide a fairness opinion with respect to such strategic alternatives and to assist in responding to the U.S. Gold proposal.

          During the week of April 24, 2006, there were a number of discussions among Genuity Capital Markets, GMP Securities L.P. (U.S. Gold’s Canadian financial advisor) and Canadian legal counsel to U.S. Gold and White Knight regarding, among other things, the proposed timing and structure of the U.S. Gold proposal and whether U.S. Gold would be prepared to enter into a support agreement with White Knight in relation to the proposal.

          On May 1, 2006, U.S. Gold announced the commencement of a formal offer to acquire, on the same economic terms as set out in its earlier proposal, all of the outstanding shares of White Knight. U.S. Gold also announced that it


- 5 -

intended to make formal offers to the shareholders of Tone Resources, Coral Gold Resources Ltd. and Nevada Pacific based on the same per share exchange ratios announced by U.S. Gold on March 5, 2006, as soon as practicable following the completion by each of the foregoing companies of formal valuations required under applicable law.

          On May 16, 2006, White Knight announced that it had filed its directors’ circular with Canadian securities authorities in response to the offer and mailed the directors’ circular to Shareholders. At the time, the Board made no recommendation to Shareholders regarding the offer. While the Board was generally supportive of the business proposition of consolidating the land positions within the Cortez Trend, based on advice from White Knight’s financial and legal advisors, the Board determined to reserve judgment until certain issues were resolved with respect to the timing of the offer, particularly with respect to the timing of receiving appropriate clearances from the SEC and the completion of satisfactory due diligence on U.S. Gold.

          On June 5, 2006, U.S. Gold announced that, in view of certain United States securities regulatory requirements, U.S. Gold had terminated the offer. U.S. Gold stated that it intended to re-commence the offer and the offers for Tone Resources, Coral Gold Resources Ltd. and Nevada Pacific by mailing new offer documents as soon as regulatory requirements could be satisfied, including the receipt of necessary information from each of the target companies.

          On September 28, 2006, the law firm of Hogan & Hartson LLP, U.S. Gold’s United States special counsel, sent a written request to the law firm of Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP, White Knight’s Canadian special counsel, to provide U.S. Gold and its advisors with certain due diligence materials, including financial statements for the most recent completed fiscal period, and requested that White Knight instruct its independent auditors to provide a consent to the inclusion of White Knight’s financial statements in the U.S. Gold Circular. White Knight provided the requested diligence materials, and the required auditor’s consents, to U.S. Gold following receipt of the September 28, 2006 letter.

          On January 18, 2007, U.S. Gold announced its intention to commence formal tender offers for each of White Knight, Nevada Pacific and Tone Resources, following the satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements. At the same time, U.S. Gold announced that it had decided not to pursue its proposed offer for Coral Gold Resources Ltd., a company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, which conducts mineral exploration activities in the Cortez Trend in Nevada, in view of certain regulatory requirements that would need to be satisfied by Coral Gold Resources Ltd. prior to the commencement of a formal offer.

          On February 12, 2007, U.S. Gold commenced the Offer. On February 20, 2007, the Board met to consider the Offer. After careful consideration of the Offer and the Genuity Fairness Opinion, the Board unanimously concluded that the Offer is fair, from a financial point of view, to Shareholders other than U.S. Gold or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Offer is in the best interest of White Knight, and the Board unanimously recommended that Shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares to the Offer.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

          The Board, with the benefit of advice from its financial and legal advisors, has carefully reviewed and considered the Offer made by U.S. Gold to Shareholders. Based upon the Board’s review and the Genuity Fairness Opinion, the Board has unanimously concluded that the Offer is fair, from a financial point of view, to Shareholders other than U.S. Gold or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries and that it is in the best interests of White Knight. The Board therefore unanimously recommends that Shareholders ACCEPT the Offer and TENDER their Shares to the Offer.

          Shareholders should consider the Offer carefully and come to their own conclusions as to whether to accept or reject the Offer. Shareholders who are in doubt as to how to respond to the Offer should consult their own investment dealer, stockbroker, bank manager, lawyer or other professional advisors. Shareholders are advised that acceptance of the Offer may have tax consequences and they should consult their own professional tax advisors.

REASONS FOR ACCEPTING THE OFFER

          The following is a summary of the principal reasons for the recommendation of the Board that Shareholders ACCEPT the Offer and TENDER their Shares to the Offer:

  • The consideration offered by U.S. Gold under the Offer represents a premium for Shareholders of approximately 25% based on the closing prices of White Knight’s Shares on the TSX-V and the U.S. Gold Common Stock on the OTCBB on March 3, 2006, the last trading day preceding U.S. Gold’s announcement of a proposed business combination with White Knight.

- 6 -

  • The consideration offered by U.S. Gold under the Offer represents a premium for Shareholders of approximately 12% based on the closing prices of White Knight’s Shares on the TSX-V and the U.S. Gold Common Stock on the TSX on February 9, 2007, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer.

  • Shareholders will continue to participate in any potential increase in value in White Knight’s properties as Shareholders will hold approximately 30% of the equity interests of U.S. Gold (26% excluding Shares held by Mr. McEwen) assuming completion of the Offer and 22% of the equity interests of U.S. Gold (19% excluding Shares held by Mr. McEwen) assuming completion of the Offer and the Other Strategic Offers.

  • Shareholders will gain exposure to U.S. Gold’s exploration projects. Combining White Knight with U.S. Gold will also provide White Knight with enhanced financial, management and other resources to allow it to better compete in the global mining industry than it could on a stand-alone basis.

  • None of the other possible alternatives to the Offer were considered reasonably likely to present superior opportunities for White Knight or reasonably likely to create greater value for Shareholders than the Offer. Nonetheless, as White Knight has not entered into a support agreement with the Offerors, the Board remains free to pursue other alternatives to the Offer that may arise prior to the successful completion of the Offer. White Knight will not be obligated to pay a break fee or non-completion fee in the event that the Board determines to support or enter into an alternative transaction.

  • The combined company will have a market capitalization of over $600 million (based on the closing price of the U.S. Gold Common Stock on the TSX on February 9, 2007), which is expected to generate new investment interest and lead to increased liquidity in the U.S. Gold Common Stock.

  • The Genuity Fairness Opinion, which provides that, as of February 20, 2007 and subject to the considerations, assumptions and limitations set out therein, the consideration offered pursuant to the Offer is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders other than U.S. Gold or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries.

          In reaching its determination, the Board considered and evaluated, among other things: (a) information concerning the business, operations, property, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospects of White Knight and U.S. Gold, separately and on a combined basis with the targets of the Other Strategic Offers; (b) current industry, economic and market conditions and trends and its informed expectations as to the prospects for the industry; and (c) historical market prices and trading information with respect to the Shares and the U.S. Gold Common Stock.

          This discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board and described in this Directors’ Circular is not intended to be exhaustive but is believed to include all material factors considered by the Board. In addition, in reaching the determination to recommend acceptance of the Offer, the Board did not assign any relative or specific weights to the foregoing factors. Individual directors may have given different weights to different factors.

FINANCIAL ADVISOR

          Pursuant to an engagement letter dated March 21, 2006 (the “Genuity Engagement Agreement”), White Knight engaged Genuity Capital Markets (“Genuity”) to act as the financial advisor to the Board in connection with any proposal or offer involving a change in effective control of White Knight. Among other things, this engagement contemplated that Genuity would assist the Board in responding to, evaluating, and negotiating the form, structure, terms and price of any proposed offer (defined in the Genuity Engagement Agreement to mean a transaction that is proposed by or with a third party involving the Shares or other securities of White Knight or its subsidiaries or the assets of White Knight, by way of a takeover bid, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or any business combination). Since its engagement, Genuity has advised the Board of Directors of White Knight with respect to its views relating to the Offer.

FAIRNESS OPINION

          The following is a summary only of the fairness opinion of Genuity, dated February 20, 2007, provided to the Board of Directors, a copy of which is attached as Schedule “B” attached to this Directors’ Circular (the “Genuity Fairness Opinion”). The Genuity Fairness Opinion has been prepared and provided solely for the use of the Board. The Genuity Fairness Opinion may not be relied upon by any person other than the Board. At the request of the Board, Genuity has consented to the inclusion of the Genuity Fairness Opinion in this Directors’ Circular. Genuity believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole. Selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered by Genuity, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Genuity


- 7 -

Fairness Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily amenable to partial analyses or summary description. Any attempt to do so could create an incomplete view of the process underlying the Genuity Fairness Opinion. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Genuity Fairness Opinion, which is attached hereto as Schedule “B”.

          On February 12, 2007, the Board requested that Genuity provide an opinion as to the fairness or adequacy, from a financial point of view, of the consideration of the Offer. The full text of the Genuity Fairness Opinion, which sets forth, among other things, assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken by Genuity in rendering the Genuity Fairness Opinion is attached as Schedule “B” to this Directors’ Circular. Shareholders should read the Genuity Fairness Opinion in its entirety. The Genuity Fairness Opinion addresses the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration offered to Shareholders other than U.S. Gold or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries pursuant to the Offer and does not constitute a recommendation to any Shareholder as to how to respond to the Offer.

          Genuity Capital Markets has not prepared a formal valuation or appraisal of White Knight or any of its securities or assets, and the Genuity Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such. Further, the Genuity Fairness Opinion is not, and should not be construed as, advice as to the price at which the Shares may trade at a future date.

          In the Genuity Fairness Opinion, Genuity concluded that, as of February 20, 2007 and based upon and subject to the considerations, assumptions and limitations set out therein, the consideration to be received by Shareholders pursuant to the Offer is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders other than U.S. Gold or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries.

          White Knight has been advised by Genuity that neither Genuity, nor any of its affiliates, is an insider, associate or affiliate (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of White Knight, U.S. Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates. Genuity has not been engaged to provide any financial advisory services nor has it participated in any financings involving White Knight, U.S. Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates, within the past two years, other than the services provided under the Genuity Engagement Agreement. There are no understandings, agreements or commitments between Genuity, White Knight and U.S. Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates with respect to any future business dealings. Genuity may, in the future, in the ordinary course of its business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services for White Knight, U.S. Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates.

certain other corporate, industry and financial market information, investigations and analyses as Genuity considered necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

          Genuity has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by the Company to any information under its control requested by Genuity. Genuity did not meet with the auditor of White Knight and has assumed the accuracy and fair presentation of and relied upon the audited consolidated financial statements of White Knight and the reports of the auditor thereon.

Prior Valuations

          The Company has represented to Genuity that there have not been any prior valuations (as defined in Ontario Securities Commission Rule 61-501) of the Company or its material assets or securities within the two years preceding the date hereof.

Assumptions and Limitations

          Genuity has not prepared a formal valuation or appraisal of the Company or any of its securities or assets and the Opinion should not be construed as such. Genuity has, however, conducted such analyses as it considered necessary in the circumstances. In addition, the Opinion is not, and should not be construed as, advice as to the price at which common shares in the capital of White Knight may trade at any future date. Genuity was similarly not engaged to review any legal, tax or accounting aspects of the Offer.

          With the Company’s approval and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, Genuity has relied, without independent verification, upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial and other information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources or provided to us by or on behalf of the Company and its agents and advisors or otherwise obtained pursuant to our engagement (collectively, the "Information") and we have assumed that this Information did not omit to state any material fact or any fact necessary to be stated to make that Information not misleading. The Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information. With respect to the financial models, forecasts, projections and estimates provided to Genuity and used in the analysis supporting the Opinion, we note that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty and have assumed that such financial models, forecasts, projections and estimates have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the Company, as the case may be, as to the matters covered thereby and in rendering the Opinion we express no view as to the reasonableness of such forecasts, projections, estimates or assumptions on which they are based.

          Senior officers of the Company have represented to Genuity in their capacity as senior officers in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the Information provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates or any of its or their respective agents or representatives to Genuity for the purpose of the engagement under the Engagement Agreement was, at the date the Information was provided to Genuity, and is as of the date hereof complete, true and correct, and did not


B-4


and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the Information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the Information was provided; and that (ii) since the dates on which the Information was provided to Genuity, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company or any of its affiliates and no material change has occurred in the Information or any part thereof which would have or which could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Opinion.

          In preparing the Opinion, Genuity has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to complete the Offer described in the Take-over Bid Circular will be met and that the disclosure provided in the Take-over Bid Circular and the draft Directors’ Circular with respect to White Knight and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the Offer is accurate in all material respects.

          The Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries, as they were reflected in the Information. In its analyses and in preparing the Opinion, Genuity made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Genuity.

          The Opinion has been provided for the use of and to be relied upon by the Board and may not be used by any other person or relied upon by any other person and, except as contemplated herein, may not be quoted from, publicly disseminated or otherwise communicated to any other person without the express prior written consent of Genuity other than in the Directors’ Circular. The Opinion is given as of the date hereof and Genuity disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion that may come or be brought to Genuity's attention after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion after the date hereof, Genuity reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Opinion with effect after the date hereof.

          The Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board or any shareholder of White Knight as to whether shareholders of White Knight should accept the Offer.

Fairness Conclusion

          Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other matters as we consider relevant, Genuity is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration offered pursuant to the Offer is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of White Knight other than U.S. Gold.

Yours very truly,
 
Genuity Capital Markets
