Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On May 18, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of U.S. Gold Corp. (“U.S. Gold” or the “Company”) appointed Luke Norman to serve as the non-independent Chairman of the Board. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Norman as Chairman, the Board expanded its size from 5 to 6 directors.

 

Mr. Norman, 51, has served since December 2017 as the chief executive officer, president and director of Northern Lion Gold Corp., a Canada-based mineral exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Since March 2021, he has also served as the chief executive officer and director of Leviathan Gold Ltd., another mineral exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Since 2000, Mr. Norman has served as an independent consultant to companies in the metals and mining industry. He has also served since 2016 as the chairman of Silver One Resources and since 2020 as a director of Black Mountain Gold USA Corp., both of which are mineral exploration companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Mr. Norman was among the founding shareholders of Gold King Corp., a private company that combined with our predecessor, Dataram Corporation, in 2016 to form U.S. Gold Corp. In considering whether to appoint Mr. Norman as Chairman, the Board considered his expertise in mineral exploration, finance, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions and corporate leadership.

 

Since March 10, 2021, Mr. Norman has provided investor relations, capital markets and strategic services to the Company pursuant to a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”). In consideration for such services, the Company paid Mr. Norman a fee of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (the “Consulting Fee”) over one year. The Consulting Fee was paid as a monthly retainer of $10,000 in cash and $130,000 in restricted stock. The Consulting Agreement was extended for an additional term of one year in March 2022.

 

The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreement is not complete and subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of such document, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
