U.S. Gold Corp to Implement Jameson Cell Tech at CK Gold, Boosting Recovery and Economics

U.S. Gold Corp will implement Glencore Technology's Jameson Cell flotation equipment at its CK Gold Project in Wyoming, boosting metal recoveries, reducing energy consumption, and strengthening project economics. The adoption is based on engineering studies and metallurgical testing, which confirmed higher gold and copper recoveries than the company's February 2025 Pre-Feasibility Study. The integration of Jameson Cells could increase the project's Net Present Value (5%) by approximately $36 million over the life of mine.

U.S. Gold Corp. (Nasdaq: USAU) has announced the adoption of Glencore Technology's Jameson Cell Flotation Equipment for improved gold and copper recovery at its CK Gold Project in Southeast Wyoming. This strategic decision follows comprehensive engineering and optimization studies, including trade-off analyses, as part of the company's Definitive Feasibility Study and Execution Plan [1].

The Jameson Cell technology, developed by Glencore Technology, has been in use since 1986 and offers potential benefits over conventional flotation cells. According to U.S. Gold Corp., the technology promises increased metal recovery, reduced power consumption, and a smaller equipment and warehousing footprint [1]. These advantages were validated through extensive testing on CK Gold Project ore, which confirmed gains in both gold and copper recovery compared to the February 2025 Prefeasibility Study [1].

A trade-off study conducted by Halyard Micon International estimated that incorporating Jameson Cells could enhance the project's Net Present Value (5%) by approximately $36 million over the life of the mine compared to conventional tank flotation technology. The study also highlighted potential reductions in operating costs, equipment, and warehouse needs, as well as lower power consumption [1].

Glencore Technology has provided a performance guarantee and continues to support ongoing engineering and cost parameters for the proposed equipment. Additionally, U.S. Gold Corp. has received a letter from Glencore Technology confirming it can hold pricing for unused Jameson Cells, originally procured for a canceled project, through October 2025 [1].

The Glencore Group is recognized for its industry-leading technologies, including the Jameson Cell, IsaMill™, and IsaKidd™, which are designed to improve the efficiency and productivity of mineral processing operations worldwide [1].

U.S. Gold Corp., a publicly traded U.S.-focused gold and copper exploration and development company, has a portfolio of exploration properties. The CK Gold Project, located in Southeast Wyoming, has a Preliminary Feasibility Study technical report completed by Samuel Engineering Inc. [1].
