(TSXV: CCMI) (OTCQB: RIINF) (\"Canadian Critical Minerals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce completion of a successful summer exploration drilling program at the Thierry Mine Project near Pickle Lake, Ontario. The Company completed seven NQ diamond drill holes and 2,598 metres of drilling with all holes encountering visual mineralization including copper, nickel and zinc. All drill holes intersected mineralized structures over similar widths and at depths from surface that are consistent with previous drilling results. The Company recently completed holes CCM-23-56 and CCM-23-57. The Company cautions readers that visual identification of mineralization does not guarantee, or replace, assay results. Assay results may not meet or exceed results from earlier drill programs. Drill core samples have been selected for assay and the results will be reported once available.The 2023 summer program was focused on expanding upon the K1-1 deposit which is a large tonnage, near surface copper-nickel deposit located approximately 3 km east of the past producing Thierry Mine. The K1-1 deposit has a current Inferred Mineral Resource within an optimized Whittle pit shell consisting of the following: 53,614,000 tonnes grading 0.38% Cu, 0.10% Ni, 1.8 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, 0.05 g/t Pt and 0.14 g/t Pd at a NSR of C$12/tonne (see NI 43-10 Technical Report filing on SEDAR dated February 22, 2021). The K1-1 deposit consists of approximately seven en echelon stacked lenses dipping at approximately 55 degrees to the north. Five of the seven drill holes were drilled outside of the current pit shell and orientated to intersect down dip extensions of extrapolated mineralized structures. The drill holes were designed to intersect structures at an approximate true width.CCM-23-56 CompleteCCM-23-56 was collared approximately 160 metres north of K-11-13 which was previously drilled by Cadillac Ventures in 2011 (see press release on SEDAR by Cadillac Ventures of September 13, 2011) and 120 metres north of K-12-47 which was previously drilled by Cadillac Ventures in 2012 (see press release on SEDAR by Cadillac Ventures of September 13, 2012). K-11-13 yielded 14 metres at 0.36...
