BLM Approval For Drill Program Targeting Northern Basin Of Clayton Ridge

VANCOUVER - US Critical Metals Corp. (USCM) has received approval of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to drill the northern basin of the Clayton Ridge Lithium Property 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 completed approximately 1,000 meters of core drilling into the southern and central basins of Clayton Ridge. 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 soon.

Darren Collins, Chief Executive Officer and Director, said, "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."
