05.10.2023  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, October 5, 2023 - US Critical Metals Corp. (CSE: USCM) (OTCQB: USCMF) (FSE: 0IU0) ("USCM" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received approval of Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") to drill the northern basin of the Clayton Ridge Lithium Property ("Clayton Ridge" or the "Project") located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. This approval is the result of USCM reclaiming lands under the total permitted disturbance area permitted by the BLM of 5 acres.

The Company has engaged Falcon Drilling, Inc. ("Falcon Drilling") to test the five northern drill targets of the Project, as set forth in the map below (drill sites J-N). These drill targets have been designed to test rock chip anomalies to the north and potentially extend mineralization in that direction. It is anticipated the program will include an additional 500 to 1,000 meters of core drilling.

The Company has completed approximately 1,000 meters of core drilling into the southern and central basins of Clayton Ridge (see Company's press release dated September 12, 2023). The core has been cut, logged and sent to American Assay Labs for assaying. The initial phase of the program consisted of 11 holes and was completed by Falcon Drilling. The second phase of drilling is expected to commence on or about October 15th, 2023.

USCM has the right to earn a 100% interest in the Project subject to completing the following, expected to be completed in 2023: (i) drilling 1,500 meters on the Project, (ii) paying US$75,000 in cash to the property vendors; and (iii) issuing 500,000 common shares of the Company to the property vendor. Upon completion of the foregoing conditions, USCM will acquire a 100% interest in Clayton Ridge.

Management Commentary

Mr. Darren Collins, Chief Executive Officer and Director of USCM, comments: "Our team has been very efficient in terms of exploring Clayton Ridge and completing the terms of the earn-in agreement. The reclaiming of lands through the BLM is a cost-effective method for us to test multiple basins within the Project area without the need to complete a Plan of Operations. With assay results pending on the southern and central basins and drilling panned to commence on the northern basin, we anticipate a fulsome series of results to share with investors during the remaining quarter of 2023."

Project Overview

The Project is a lithium claystone deposit located in Esmeralda County, Nevada on the east flank of the Clayton Valley, the only lithium producing region of the United States. The Project is located just 18 kilometers west of Goldfield, Nevada and roughly 17 km southeast of Silver Peak, Nevada, lying within a topographic swale between the Montezuma Range and Clayton Ridge. The Project is comprised of 180 unpatented lode mining claims, covering 3,600 acres, with easy driving access to all claims. The Property is one of several lithium projects in region. In addition to the only operating lithium producer in the US (Albemarle), the Clayton Valley and immediate surroundings host several lithium projects ranging from early- to late-stage exploration (including, but not limited to, Noram Lithium, Pure Energy, American Lithium, Ioneer Ltd., Century Lithium Corp. and Spearmint Resources).
