[{"type":"text","content":"USCM Reports Cross Sections Suggesting Substantial Thicknesses of Lithium-Bearing Units at Clayton Ridge Lithium PropertyVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2023) - US Critical Metals Corp. (TSXV: USCM) (OTCQB: USCMF) (FSE: 0IU0) (\"USCM\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the detailed mapping, sampling and initial geologic cross sections completed over the Clayton Ridge Lithium Project (the \"Project\" or \"Clayton Ridge\") suggest robust thicknesses of lithium bearing units. The Project is located in Esmeralda County, Nevada and spans a total of approximately 3,600 acreages within the Clayton Valley region, which is the only lithium producing region within the United States (the \"US\"). USCM has the right to a 100% interest in the Project. Mapping shows broad areas of lithium-bearing claystones and volcanic tuffs suggesting a broad lateral extension of mineralization. The mineralized zones extend throughout the property with individual areas covering a surface area of up to 0.5 kilometer by 1.0 kilometer. In addition, cross sections on the northern portion of the property suggest that lithium bearing units have thicknesses in excess of 100 meters (Sections 4,171,200N & 4,172,000N). All sections suggest that the mineralized units extend to the east, with mineralization open in that direction. Anomalous lithium samples from earlier sampling and mapping campaigns of airfall tuffs may add substantial thickness to the mineralized package on the property. In some cases, the estimated thickness of the mineralized package could exceed 200 meters. The five cross sections are the vertical interpretation of the surface geological map (see below). Each section is uniquely identified by its UTM northing coordinate (e.g., 4,171,200N) and the length of the black line associated with it. These are the interpretation of the geology at depth and will aid in the generation of a drill plan. The sections suggest that the lithium-bearing units tend to thicken from south to north. Furthermore, the lithium-bearing units extend for approximately a kilometer from east to west as shown on the sections. However, drilling will ultimately determine the true thickness and lateral extent of the lithium-bearing units.
