Assays for 219 samples are pending receipt and analysis. Highlight results include up to 0.5% Li\n \n 2\n \n O, 1,730 ppm cesium, 120,000 ppm tantalum and 3,540 ppm rubidium.\n \n \n Geochemical results indicate the strong potential for spodumene-bearing dykes to be present at the property. Potassium/rubidium ratios (K/Rb), are a key tool in identifying these types of dykes; K/Rb ratios of <30 are indicative of rare-earth pegmatites and <20 of spodumene-subtype pegmatites[i]. To-date, 10 pegmatites have been identified with K/Rb ratios <30 with a low of 7.5. Values below 10 are often associated with economic spodumene pegmatites.\n \n \n The Company intends on drilling each of the 10 target pegmatites as part of its maiden drill program.\n \n \n \n \n \n VANCOUVER, BC\n \n \n ,\n \n Sept. 14, 2023\n \n /CNW/ --\n \n \n Usha Resources Ltd.\n \n (\"USHA\"\n \n or the\n \n \"Company\")\n \n \n \n \n (TSXV: USHA) (OTCQB: USHAF) (FSE: JO0),\n \n a North American mineral acquisition and exploration company, is pleased to provide this update on its on-going field program at the White Willow Lithium Pegmatite Project (\"White Willow\" or the \"Project\") located 170 km west of\n \n Thunder Bay, Ontario\n \n .\n \n \n The Company has completed 5 weeks of fieldwork this season, with data compilation complete for 618 samples. Assay highlights include:\n \n \n \n Lithium oxide (Li\n \n 2\n \n O) values up to 0.5%, with 76 samples containing very anomalous (>300 ppm) concentrations of lithium, including 14 above >1,000 ppm with a ...
