Usha Resources Confirms Brine-Forming Environment with Second Drill Hole at Jackpot Lake Lithium Brine Project

February 21, 2023 - Usha Resources Ltd. (“USHA” or the “Company”) (TSXV: USHA) (OTCQB: USHAF) (FSE: JO0) , a North American mineral acquisition and exploration company focused on the development of drill-ready battery and precious metal projects, is pleased to provide this update on the second drill hole (“ JP22-2 ”) of its maiden drill program at the Jackpot Lake Lithium Brine Property (“ Project ”) located in Clark County, Nevada. The drill is now at the 231‑metre level and its exploration team has encountered similar stratigraphy to the core observed from first hole (“JP22-1”), where multiple zones of evaporite crystals are present as interbeds, veining, and inclusions within lacustrine sediments comprising clays, silts, and sands.

The presence of evaporite crystals within both JP22-1 and now JP22-2 further supports the presence of a brine forming environment throughout the Dry Lake Basin as crystallization of evaporites would not occur in a freshwater system and JP22-2 is located approximately 2.75 kilometres north-northwest of JP22-1.
