USCM Announces Drilling Results From Clayton Ridge Lithium Project
USCM Announces Drilling Results From Clayton Ridge Lithium Project
Drill results include testing the western half of the Clayton Ridge Basin with 1,455 meters in 15 core holes.
Drill results include intercepts of 17.4 meters of 724ppm Li (30.4 - 47.9 m) and 14.4 meters of 768ppm Li (46.3 - 55.8 m) from easternmost holes.
Higher grade intercepts including 2.7 meters of 973ppm Li (34.9 - 37.6 m) from Hole No. CR11-23 indicate potential for increased lithium grades to the east.
Results provide technical guidance for additional drilling.
USCM has now fulfilled the contractually required drilling commitments which results in USCM holding a 100% interest in Clayton Ridge.
钻探结果包括在15个岩心孔中在克莱顿峭壁盆地的西部进行了1455米的测试。
钻探结果包括自最东侧孔洞截获了724ppm(30.4-47.9 m)的17.4米和768ppm(46.3-55.8 m)的14.4米的锂(Li)截面。
包括第CR11-23号孔的2.7米973ppm Li(34.9-37.6 m)的更高等级截面表明指向东部获得更高锂等级的潜力。
结果为进一步钻探提供了技术指导。
美国重要金属公司(USCm)现已满足合同规定的钻探承诺,USCm持有克莱顿峭壁的100%利益。
Vancouver, British Colombia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 30, 2024) - US Critical Metals Corp. (CSE: USCM) (OTCQB: USCMF) (FSE: 0IU0) is pleased to announce that it has received all the analytical results from previously announced drilling program completed at the Clayton Ridge Lithium Property ("Clayton Ridge" or the "Project") located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The Company has completed 1,455 meters (4,776 feet) of core drilling in 15 holes ranging in depth from 41.45m to 160.3m traversing the lithium-bearing claystone hosted in the south, central and northern sub-basins within the Clayton Ridge basin.
加拿大温哥华--(Newsfile Corp. - 2024年1月30日)-美国重要金属有限公司(CSE:USCM)(OTCQB:USCMF)(FSE:0IU0)很高兴宣布,已接收到克莱顿峭壁锂矿产权("Clayton Ridge")此前宣布的钻探计划的所有分析结果。克莱顿峭壁"或"项目该公司共完成了1,455米(4,776英尺)的岩心钻探,深度从4145万到16030万,穿越克莱顿峭壁盆地中的南部、中部和北部亚盆地中的含锂粘土岩。
USCM has now fulfilled the contractually required drilling commitments, which fulfills the terms of the option agreement and will result in USCM holding a 100% interest in Clayton Ridge.
USCm现已完成合同规定的钻探承诺,完成了克莱顿峭壁的100%参股条件。
Program Results
活动结果
This initial phase of drilling tested shallow, east-dipping lithium-bearing units with vertical to steeply inclined (-70o) holes to determine the thickness of the lithium-bearing units and depth to the floor of the basin. Lithium was identified in a variety of rock types including claystone (Figure 3), siltstone, conglomerate, airfall tuff, and lithic tuff. Based on the initial drill results, the claystone units produced the highest lithium values.
此次最初的钻探阶段通过纵向至陡峭倾斜(-70)的孔洞测试了浅层、东倾的含锂层,以确定含锂层的厚度和盆地底部深度。锂存在于各种岩石类型中,包括粘土岩(图3)、粉砂岩、砾岩、空气沉积凝灰岩和岩屑凝灰岩。基于最初的钻探结果,粘土岩层产生了最高的锂含量。o尽管在钻探的15个孔洞中发现了升高的锂值(见附表1),但随着Li含量序列向东和北下伏在火山凝灰岩下的储层厚度增加,对应的最高含量和宽度沿孔洞的东侧;在图1中显示的孔位装置中,第CR09-23孔穿过了717ppm的17.4米Li(30.4 - 47.9 m),第CR10-23号孔穿过了768ppm的14.4米的Li(46.3-55.8 m)。这些更厚的间隔(表1)以及包括CR11-23号孔洞中的973ppm Li(34.9-37.6 m)的高级部分指示向东和向北可能存在增加的锂宽度和等级,延伸至盆地的东部(图2)。下表1列出了克莱顿峭壁的初始钻探结果。
Although elevated lithium values were identified in 13 of the 15 holes drilled (Table 1), the highest values and corresponding widths were along the eastern fence of the holes as the Li-bearing sequence appears to thicken to the east and north where it dips beneath the volcanic tuffs into the basin's eastern margin. Along the eastern fence of holes shown in Figure 1, Hole No. CR09-23 intersected 17.4 meters of 724ppm Li (30.4 - 47.9 m) and in Hole No. CR10-23 intersected 14.4 meters of 768ppm Li (46.3 - 55.8 m). These thicker intervals (Table 1) along with locally higher-grade intercepts including 2.7 meters of 973ppm Li (34.9 - 37.6 m) in Holes No. CR11-23 indicate potential for increased lithium widths and grades to the east and north toward the basin's eastern margin (Figure 2). Table 1 below sets forth the initial drill results for Clayton Ridge.
图1揭示了克莱顿峭壁的这次2023年的初次钻探活动,测试了克莱顿峭壁盆地的西部和中部,而该盆地向东缘的潜力仍然存在(图2)。2023年的结果为USCm提供了支持进一步钻探盆地东部的方向。
Figure 1 below, reveals that this 2023 maiden drilling campaign at Clayton Ridge tested the western and central portions of the Clayton Ridge Basin, with much of the basin's potential toward the basin's eastern margin remains (Figure 2). The 2023 results provide USCM with vectors supporting additional drilling across the eastern part of the basin.
USCm的首席执行官兼董事Darren Collins先生表示: “我们在克莱顿峭壁的首次钻探计划增加了我们对该盆地的锂潜力的信心,并为定位向东和向北朝向盆地结构边界的含锂层提供了有价值的信息。我们的技术团队正在进一步评估当前结果,并将设计一项后续钻探计划,以进一步测试克莱顿峭壁的潜力。通过完成此项钻探计划,USCm现已完成克莱顿峭壁选择协议中规定的钻探承诺,以持有克莱顿峭壁的100%权益”。
Management Commentary
管理层评论
Mr. Darren Collins, Chief Executive Officer and Director of USCM, comments: "Our maiden drill program at Clayton Ridge has increased our confidence about the lithium potential of the basin and provides valuable information in targeting the lithium-bearing beds to the east and north toward the basin's bounding structure. Our technical team is further evaluating the current results and will design a follow up drill program to further test the potential of Clayton Ridge. With the completion of this drill program, USCM has now completed the contractually required drilling under the Clayton Ridge option agreement to hold a 100% interest in Clayton Ridge".

The QP was on-site and became familiar with the drill sites and drilling procedures for the Clayton Ridge Project and witnessed all components of the core logging and sampling procedures conducted at USCM's core storage facility in Tonopah, NV.
All samples were retrieved by representatives of American Assay Labs (AAL) and transported to their facility in Sparks, Nev., for the 28 element, 4 acid ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy) analytical package. Both the Company and AAL have inserted standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample sequence for the reported results. AAL is located in Sparks, Nevada. AAL is an independent ISO 17025 certified laboratory.

Project Overview
项目概述
The Project is a lithium claystone deposit located in Esmeralda County, Nevada on the east flank of the Clayton Valley, the only lithium producing region of the United States. The Project is located just 18 kilometers west of Goldfield, Nevada and roughly 17 km southeast of Silver Peak, Nevada, lying within a topographic swale between the Montezuma Range and Clayton Ridge. The Project is comprised of 180 unpatented lode mining claims, covering 3,600 acres, with easy driving access to all claims. The Project is one of several lithium projects in region. In addition to the only operating lithium producer in the US (Albemarle), the Clayton Valley and immediate surroundings host several lithium projects ranging from early- to late-stage exploration (including, but not limited to, Noram Lithium, Pure Energy, American Lithium, Ioneer Ltd., Century Lithium Corp. and Spearmint Resources).
该项目是位于内华达州爱斯梅拉达县的锂板岩矿床,位于克莱顿山谷的东部山腰上,这是美国唯一的锂生产地区。该项目仅距内华达州戈德菲尔德18公里,距内华达州银峰大约17公里,位于蒙特祖马山脉和克莱顿山脊之间的一个地形低洼地带。该项目由180个未获得专利的矿业申请构成,占地3,600英亩,易于驾车前往所有矿业申请。该项目是该地区的几个锂项目之一。除了美国唯一一家运营的锂生产商(Albemarle)之外,克莱顿山谷和周边地区还拥有几个锂项目,从初期到后期的勘探(包括但不限于Noram Lithium、Pure Energy、American Lithium、Ioneer Ltd.、Century Lithium Corp.和Spearmint Resources)不一而足。
