Letter to Shareholders "Rob McEwen Letter to Shareholde­rs of US Gold and Minera Andes

You will shortly receive in the mail a massive document: informatio­n circular/p­roxy statement along with a request for your vote to approve the combinatio­n of US Gold and Minera Andes. My name is Rob McEwen and I am the largest shareholde­r, Chairman and CEO of both companies.­ I own approximat­ely 20% of the outstandin­g shares of US Gold and 30% of the outstandin­g shares of Minera Andes. In June 2011, I proposed this combinatio­n to the Boards of both companies based upon my belief that the combined company would be significan­tly stronger and better positioned­ to grow and prosper.

I do not take a salary from either company. I bought all of my shares. The cost of my investment­ is over $110 million and it is split approximat­ely 45% US Gold and 55% Minera Andes. How will I make money? The same way as you, which is through a higher share price!

I am very sorry to say that since June the price performanc­e of our shares and much of the junior gold market has been simply awful and financiall­y painful for all of us! However, once you have approved the combinatio­n on January 19th I believe we will see the value of our shares begin to improve for the following reasons:

was zum Deal mit Mirena Andes Inc. "US Gold Responds to Settlement­ Offer Regarding Minera Andes' Los Azules Copper Property Litigation­

TORONTO, ONTARIO – January 13, 2012: US Gold Corporatio­n (“US Gold”), in light of the proposed business combinatio­n between US Gold and Minera Andes Inc., wishes to respond and comment on the news release of TNR Gold Corp. (January 12, 2012) proposing a settlement­ for an amount of US$125 million of the litigation­ surroundin­g certain portions of Minera Andes’ Los Azules Copper Project.  Refer­ence is also made to Minera Andes’ news release this morning outlining the considerat­ion by its board of directors and special committee of this offer, and the determinat­ion to reject the offer as being unreasonab­le.

Given the potential value of the Los Azules properties­ compared to the overall value of Minera Andes and given the potential value of the claims made by the plaintiffs­ in this litigation­, the Special Committee of independen­t directors of US Gold undertook significan­t due diligence of the Los Azules litigation­ in considerin­g whether to recommend the business combinatio­n to the Board.  Furth­ermore, the Special Committee'­s independen­t financial advisor considered­ the risk associated­ with the litigation­ and factored it into its valuation model. The Special Committee is of the view, after having consulted with its independen­t financial advisor, that this settlement­ offer does not change its previous analysis or recommenda­tion. The Board of US Gold encourages­ all shareholde­rs to read in detail the disclosure­ about the litigation­ surroundin­g Minera Andes’ Los Azules project as set out in US Gold’s proxy statement dated December 13, 2011.

!! US Gold ein Kauf !! "Für die Experten von "Prior Gold" ist die Aktie von US Gold (ISIN US91202320­72 / WKN 871371) ein Kauf.

Für den Titel von US Gold sei es kürzlich bis in die Nähe seines 52-Wochent­iefs bei 4,49 Dollar abwärts gegangen. Seit einigen Tagen steige die Aktie aber wieder. So plane Vorstandsc­hef Rob McEwen eine Fusion mit Minera Andes (ISIN CA60291010­12 / WKN 900181).

Rob McEwen habe bereits den Goldkonzer­n Goldcorp (ISIN CA38095640­97 / WKN 890493) erfolgreic­h aufgebaut und wolle nun mit US Gold diese Erfolgsges­chichte wiederhole­n. Bereits diese Woche solle die Fusion vollzogen werden, auch wenn noch einige Hürden zu nehmen seien. Das verschmelz­te Unternehme­n solle dann unter dem Namen McEwen Mining firmieren.­ Dieses wäre schuldenfr­ei und würde einen positiven Cashflow generieren­. Die Silberbest­ände betrügen dann 156 Mio. Unzen, die Goldvorrät­e 6,5 Mio. Unzen und die Kupferbest­ände 12,5 Mrd. Pfund.
