Closed at $3.21 before the Xmas break. Nice Xmas gift for me. I am very confident that USAS will continue to move higher in the coming weeks.
Here is some interesting information imo concerning future drilling at Relief Canyon. But of course lets first get production started... https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...te-relief-canyon-land-position-300703133.html Aug 28, 2018 "This ground contains known targets we have developed in the last two years. The transaction allows the Company to advance known targets, increasing the potential for discovery of satellite deposits that could be brought into a near-term production profile at Relief Canyon upon commencement of operations," stated Alfers." https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...areas-in-2018-drilling-program-300643113.html May 07, 2018 ""Recent drilling indicates that the Main Zone is substantially wider than in the existing pit, and this Main Zone continues up to 900 ft (274.4 meters) to the west of the existing pit. Additionally, gold grades and cyanide solubility are consistent with previous results in the Main Zone. This could result in increased tonnage in the Main Zone and in the pit itself, which could bring more tons earlier into the mine plan," explained Alfers. "West Step Out drilling indicates that zones of mineralization are continuous to the west. This confirmed continuity of mineralization may allow us to expand the pit up to 400 feet (122 meters) to the southwest. West Step Out drilling also resulted in several intercepts with grades substantially higher than historic results, which may result in enhanced economics for the project," stated Alfers."

Countdown to first gold pour in the first half of January. In addition the price of gold is moving higher. Good times ahead imo.

Americas Gold and Silver Expected to Pour First Gold at Relief Canyon this Month Posted on February 5, 2020 by Alex Deluce https://www.goldtelegraph.com/ameri...-pour-first-gold-at-relief-canyon-this-month/ With Relief Canyon coming into commercial production shortly, it is worth highlighting the project’s fantastic economics. It has an initial mine life of 6 years; the keyword here is initial as the project has significant exploration upside as only 20% of the 11,700-hectare land package has been explored to date. Relief Canyon is expected to produce 90,000 ounces annually, with all-in sustaining costs coming in at $800/ounce. The projects pre-tax NPV is $154M at a gold price of US$1,290; indicating significant upside with gold price appreciation. The gold price today is over US$1,550, which shows the type of free cash flow; this project will generate the company. It has extreme leverage to the gold price with its outstanding economics, but it also provides investors exposure to further discovery potential with its under-explored land package. If you’re looking for exposure in a high-growth, exciting silver, and gold producer, we believe American Gold and Silver is one to have an eye on this year as it could have a significant revaluation. Guided by a management team that has dropped all-in sustaining costs by 70% in 4 years with numerous assets in North America, this one has many catalysts in the months to come.

The mine will produce 91,000 oz. gold per year over a 5.6 year mine life at all-in sustaining costs of US$801 per ounce.
Leverage to gold price of recently launched Relief Caynon project: This is from an old Pershing presentation. The current NPV would now be around $297M with the current price of gold. The current market cap of USAS is around $270M. The stock has lots of upside potential imo.
