US Critical Metals Corp. announced 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 drilled 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 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: drilling 1,500 meters on the Project, (ii) paying USD 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.
