(TSXV: CCMI) (OTCQB: RIINF) (\"Canadian Critical Minerals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide a further update on the exploration drilling program which began at the Thierry Mine Project near Pickle Lake, Ontario on July 6, 2023. To-date the Company has completed five NQ diamond drill holes and 1,752 metres of drilling with all holes encountering visual mineralization including copper, nickel and zinc. The Company recently completed CCM-23-55 which is the fifth hole in the 2023 drill program and the deepest hole drilled to-date. 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 is designed for approximately 2,500 metres of diamond drilling and will focus on expanding upon the K1-1 deposit which is a large tonnage, near surface 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. The Company has outlined 40 drill targets intended to improve information on strike and down dip mineralized lens extensions relative to the pit shell. The 2023 program with focus initially on seven to eight priority targets. Based on planned drill angles the majority of drill holes should intersect structures at approximate true width.CCM-23-55 CompleteCCM-23-55 was collared approximately 60 metres north of K-12-48 which was previously drilled by Cadillac Ventures in 2012. (See press release on SEDAR by Cadillac Ventures of September 13, 2012). K-12-48 intersected multiple stacked lenses beginning 200 metres from surface and terminating 409 metres from surface while sti...
