Usha Resources Ltd. ('USHA' or the 'Company') (TSXV: USHA) (OTCQB: USHAF) (FSE: JO0), a North American lithium exploration company, is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced for the third hole ('JP23-02') at the 100%-owned Jackpot Lake Lithium Brine Property ('Project') located in Clark County, Nevada.

Drill hole JP23-01 will be drilled immediately upon hole development and initial sampling of JP23-02. JP23-01 and JP23-02 are twinning JP22-01 and JP22-02, respectively, conducted to better maintain hole integrity as each hole advances to its planned 2,000 feet.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has begun preliminary work on its 43-101 resource estimate.

The goal of the drill program will be to build on the findings of its initial drilling which supports that the Jackpot Lake is a similar geologic setting to that of Clayton Valley, hosting Albemarle's Silver Peak Nevada Lithium Mine, the only producing lithium mine in North America.

Key findings of the program to-date include:

Soils at the Project are enriched in lithium at a level comparable to Clayton Valley. Enriched lithium is present within the holes advanced, with an average of 334 ppm and high of 820 ppm Li in thirty samples collected from shallow surface soils (
