In a remarkable event centered on the mining and energy sectors, U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) has taken the spotlight at the inaugural Better In Our Backyard (BIOBY) Mining and Energy Expo, held from October 1 to October 3, 2025, at the renowned Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. The company's President and CEO, George Bee, took part in a pivotal panel discussion about "Permitted Copper Projects," which sheds light on how streamlined permitting is essential for advancing the production of critical minerals domestically.
The panel discussion, moderated by Chris Temple, Founder and Publisher of The National Investor, featured industry experts, including Adam Hawkins from TAGC Ventures, Robert Winton of Gunnison Copper, and Barry O'Shea from Highland Copper. This gathering offered an unprecedented opportunity to discuss the opportunities and challenges that arise in the context of developing permitted copper projects amidst increasing demand for copper, especially in the face of the energy transition.
