Forward Looking Statement – Safe Harbour 
Certain information in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements. This information is based on current expectations 
that are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results might differ materially 
from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in the 
presentation, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future 
plans and objectives of U.S. Silver & Gold, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, 
“will”, “should”, “intend”, “believe” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not 
guarantees of future results and conditions but rather reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, 
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in 
such statements. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. U.S. Silver & Gold 
assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those 
reflected in the forward looking-statements unless and until required by securities laws applicable to the U.S. Silver & Gold. 
Additional information identifying risks and uncertainties is contained in filings by U.S. Silver & Gold with the Canadian securities 
regulators, which filings are available at www.sedar.com. 
An additional Cautionary Note to Investors – In the event that we use certain terms in this presentation, such as “resource”, 
“measured resource”, “indicated resource” and “inferred resource”. U.S. investors are cautioned that, while such terms are 
recognized and required by Canadian Securities Laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize 
them. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the 
mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination has been made. U.S. 
investors should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, 
“inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or 
economically. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization in this presentation may not be comparable to 
information made public by companies that are subject to the SEC’s Industry Guide 7. 
Mr. Jim Atkinson, Vice President, Exploration and a Qualified Person under Canadian Securities Administrators guidelines has 
approved the applicable contents of this presentation. 
For further information on the Galena Complex, please refer to the technical report entitled “Technical Report, Galena Complex, 
Shoshone Idaho” dated March 22, 2013 and available on the U.S. Silver & Gold Inc. SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. 
Some of the potential quantities and grades disclosed are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a 
mineral resource on all of the mineralization at the Galena Complex and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in certain 
targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

  • 2. Forward Looking Statement – Safe Harbour Certain information in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements. This information is based on current expectations that are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results might differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in the presentation, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of U.S. Silver & Gold, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “intend”, “believe” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions but rather reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. U.S. Silver & Gold assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those reflected in the forward looking-statements unless and until required by securities laws applicable to the U.S. Silver & Gold. Additional information identifying risks and uncertainties is contained in filings by U.S. Silver & Gold with the Canadian securities regulators, which filings are available at www.sedar.com. An additional Cautionary Note to Investors – In the event that we use certain terms in this presentation, such as “resource”, “measured resource”, “indicated resource” and “inferred resource”. U.S. investors are cautioned that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian Securities Laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination has been made. U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization in this presentation may not be comparable to information made public by companies that are subject to the SEC’s Industry Guide 7. Mr. Jim Atkinson, Vice President, Exploration and a Qualified Person under Canadian Securities Administrators guidelines has approved the applicable contents of this presentation. For further information on the Galena Complex, please refer to the technical report entitled “Technical Report, Galena Complex, Shoshone Idaho” dated March 22, 2013 and available on the U.S. Silver & Gold Inc. SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Some of the potential quantities and grades disclosed are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on all of the mineralization at the Galena Complex and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in certain targets being delineated as a mineral resource. 2
