The Pacific Ring of Fire is home to a 12,000 km trend that contains rich gold and copper deposits. And while various countries located along the Ring of Fire have established mining industries, Fiji remains a hidden gem for the mining industry — one that’s ripe for exploration, development, and production.

Fiji is a country composed of over 300 islands and is best described as a hotbed for seismic activity. Fijian islands like Viti Levu, when combined with historical seismic activity, present favorable conditions for mining. In fact, Viti Levu contains an estimated 5.2 million ounces of gold and 4.9 million tonnes of copper. Plus, Fiji features an 80 year history of mining on the island, possesses an experienced mining workforce, robust infrastructure and a mining friendly government.

Thunderstruck Resources (TSXV:AWE,OTC:THURF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company with a promising portfolio of projects located on Fiji’s main island of Viti Levu. Recent and historical exploration data of these projects has confirmed the presence of zinc, copper and precious metals mineralization. This diversified project portfolio allows investors exposure to each of these markets. Thunderstruck Resources is led by a strong, experienced management team with decades of applicable experience in geology, mining and international finance.

According to Bryce Bradley, Thunderstruck’s CEO, Fiji presents the perfect opportunity for Thunderstruck Resources investors. In an interview with Adelaide Capital, she explains, “Fiji is really underexplored because of its remoteness. People were wondering, why invest in something so remote? Well, it’s precisely because it’s so remote that it has not been picked over and that it’s ripe for exploration. The Vatukoula Gold mine, located near the Thunderstruck projects, has been in operation for over 80 years. This means that there is a skilled labor force, the island is mining-friendly and that there is a fully-developed infrastructure.”

Thunderstruck Resources project portfolio covers approximately 3 percent of Fiji’s main island of Viti Levu. The company’s complete project portfolio consists of underexplored projects that have already indicated the presence of valuable minerals. Liwa Gold, the company’s flagship project has had geochemical and geophysical programs conducted recently, indicating the potential to become a high-grade gold and silver-producing project. A maiden drilling program and further exploration commenced in the fall of 2021.

There have been four priority gold zones identified throughout the Liwa Gold project, over 3km, with each area having promising rock and soil sample results that indicate the presence of high-grade gold and silver. Multiple geochemical and geophysical survey campaigns have provided further evidence of high-grade precious minerals.

This project is located on Fiji’s largest island, Viti Levu. The Liwa project has four high-grade gold prospects within a 3-km structural corridor. Thunderstruck’s recent geochemical and geophysical surveys returned the following:

The project has a five year Special Prospecting License (SPL) and landowner agreements in place, the maximum allowed under Fijian law. The Liwa Gold exploration project is owned 100% by Thunderstruck Resources and is actively being explored.

This 136 square kilometer project contains a high-grade zinc-copper mineralization that was discovered and drilled by Anglo Pacific in 1977. The results indicated the presence of a mineralized zone that contained zinc, copper and silver.

A 2019 drill program comprised 7 drill holes, totaling 904 m, and verified the presence of historically reported zinc-copper massive mineralization, and in select holes more than doubled historically reported results.

Korokayiu Cu-Zn Deposit 2019 Significant Diamond Drill Intercepts

Historical drilling on this copper/gold porphyry was conducted by Anglo Pacific in 1975. Results returned 244m at 0.22 percent copper between six and 250 meters, along with 0.23g/t gold between 6 and 72 meters. Further soil sampling produced similar numbers, 240m average 0.27 percent copper and 0.15 g/t gold.

Thunderstruck Resources recently doubled the copper-gold target to 1.5 kilometers in length by using systematic soil sampling, which led to the discovery of the Senikura gold zone. This new gold zone trenched 0.55 g/t gold over 38m, including 0.96 g/t gold over 11m in a weathered outcrop. Thunderstruck Resources is currently conducting exploration operations into the newly discovered gold zone. This project is 100% owned by Thunderstruck Resources.

This project is characterized by the presence of a zinc-copper volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit. Anglo Pacific previously intersected this deposit and yielded high-grade values, including 12m at 12.7% zinc and 0.3% copper. This project is 100% owned by Thunderstruck Resources. Nakoro shares similar VMS mineralization to the Korokayiu prospect.

Outlines Detailed, Drill-Ready Targets at Liwa

Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) ("Thunderstruck" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its intention to drill multiple high priority targets at its Liwa goldsilver prospect in Fiji. With the signing of a long-term drilling contract, drilling is set to commence in early Q3 2022. The company has outlined a seven-hole drill program designed to test the validity at depth of geophysical anomalies corresponding with surface mineralization.

"Our extensive, first-phase diamond drill program at Liwa this season is the culmination of years of work and geological study. It has been designed to most accurately test the significant surface geochemical and sub-surface geophysical anomalies that have made Liwa such an exciting prospect," noted President/CEO Bryce Bradley. "We can't thank our new and longstanding shareholders enough for remaining supportive through both natural disasters and the global turmoil that has lengthened this exciting journey."

The technical team hopes to intersect the geological features representing the source of mineralization by testing both the heart and periphery of the geophysical anomalies beneath defined surface mineralization. Each of the seven holes will offer valuable data to direct a continuous program of drilling with each hole more informed than the last.

Drilling has been designed to focus on four outcropping, gold-bearing hydrothermal breccia areas at Liwa, including Liwa Ridge, Jensen's, Vatuvatulevu (Vatu) and Gun. The information below is intended to educate and offer insight into the technical thought process behind each drill location and encourage shareholders to be active participants as the company grows.

Furthermore, the following images provide a topical view of each target and proposed drill hole, as well as various sections outlining the intended at-depth targets of the campaign.

The above targeting was solidified by a property-wide 2021 soil sampling campaign at Liwa consisting of 1,400 soil samples covering a total of 11 square km. This systematic gridded survey, as opposed to the previous ridge-and-spur survey, confirmed priority targets and further defined the size and shape of surface targets. The survey returned values of up to 9.62 g/t Au and 48.8 g/t silver allowing for the following conclusions:

In addition, the company continues to systematically evaluate near-term drill targets at its Nakoro zinc/copper prospect, Rama (copper/gold), and Korokayiu, with more information expected to be provided in the coming months.

Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) (The "Company") PresidentCEO Bryce Bradley announces the conclusion of Thunderstruck's earn-in agreement (the "Agreement") with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation ("JOGMEC") on the Company's Korokayiu VMS prospect in Fiji.

Thunderstruck and JOGMEC announced on February 28, 2019 a joint venture agreement to explore Thunderstruck's Korokayiu base metals asset, with CDN$3.5 million in exploration expenditures by JOGMEC to earn 70% of the Company's zinc/copper prospect.

In the past three years, Thunderstruck has completed 1.6 km of diamond drilling across 16 holes at Korokayiu. Highlights of this drilling program include 11m at 13.77% Zn, 2.94% Cu, 113.7 g/t Ag, 1.08 g/t Au and 10.55m at 9.51% Zn, 54.5 g/t Ag and 0.48 g/t Au. Additionally, mapping, geophysical and geochemical surveys have expanded existing targets and identified new targets for drilling at seven new sites over a seven-kilometer strike area. These new targets include significant soil geochemical anomalies up to 21.84 g/t Ag , 0.96% Zn and 0.41% Cu. (see January 30, 2020 news release)

Despite the encouraging results from the program, JOGMEC has determined that there is insufficient data to establish a mineral resource within the allocated time frame to currently justify a formal joint venture.

JOGMEC has surrendered its option to acquire 70% of the Korokayiu prospect, which now returns to Thunderstruck as a 100% wholly-owned exploration license. Thunderstruck will retain all of the geological, geochemical, and geophysical data collected during the three years of exploration.

"JOGMEC is an exceptional exploration partner, and we benefited from a close, productive relationship with them advancing our Korokayiu zinc/copper prospect," said Bryce Bradley. "We're delighted that JOGMEC has expressed its wish to work with us in future, and as such we will keep them apprised of our progress in the hopes of resuming our mutually beneficial relationship."

"With the Korokayiu license back as a 100% Thunderstruck-owned asset," Bradley continued, "we will be pursuing the gold and silver targets that were identified but not part of JOGMEC's base metal exploration mandate, in addition to following up on the base metal mineralisation that was identified by this program. We will review the data and the results acquired over the past three years to determine our next steps."

Gross proceeds of CAD$2,500,000 were raised through the sale of 35,714,285 units at a price of $0.07 per unit. Each unit comprised one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase a further common share at a price of $0.15 per share for a period of five years. The warrants are subject to accelerated exercise provisions such that if the closing price of the Company's common shares exceeds $0.30 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may give notice of the acceleration of the warrants' term to a period of 30 days following such notice.

No finder's fees were payable in connection with the Placement.

"This Placement will allow us to aggressively explore the many promising targets on our large property position in Fiji this season, including the three-kilometer-long series of coincident geochemical and geophysical anomaly trend on the Liwa gold prospect," stated Thunderstruck's President/CEO Bryce Bradley. "We look forward to releasing results on a number of exciting targets that have never previously seen a drill bit."

As indicated, the Liwa gold/silver prospect is the highest priority project for the 2022 season. Exploration will focus on diamond core drilling to begin defining the subsurface extent and grade of gold mineralization discovered at surface showings, including up to 6.83 g/t Au and 285 g/t Ag at the Liwa Ridge target, 55 g/t Au at Jensen's target, 41.6 g/t Au and 1,200 g/t Ag at the Vatuvatulevu target, and continuous features grading up to 0.45 g/t Au at the Gun target. These targets cumulatively represent a strike length in excess of three kilometers.

Exploration at the adjacent Rama copper/gold prospect is also planned, with a focus on investigating the possibility of Liwa and Rama together comprising a large porphyry gold-copper system. Previous drilling by Anglo reported a 244-meter interval averaging 0.22% copper (from 6m to 250m), ending in mineralization, with a chargeable feature continuing underneath. The Company's other licenses in Fiji are also being assessed and prioritized for field work during the May-November exploration season.

Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) (The "Company") is pleased to announce the following updates on its exploration projects in Fiji:

Nicol Appointed to the Board to Oversee Exploration

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol to the Board of Directors and the position of Senior Exploration Manager. Dusty has a B.Sc. degree in Earth Science from M.I.T. and an M.A. degree in geology from Indiana University. Dusty has over 45 years of world-wide experience in gold exploration and mining. He has designed and managed successful gold exploration programs throughout North and South America, Africa, Russia and the Former Soviet Union, and Papua New Guinea. He has also designed and managed generative gold exploration programs in Africa and Europe. At Jerritt Canyon, Nevada, he designed and managed the exploration program which discovered over 1.5 million ounces of gold at a discovery cost of about $18 / ounce over a 5-year period. His exploration program at the Tulkubash oxide deposit, Kyrgyzstan, added over 600,000 ounces of gold to M&I Resource in the first year, at a discovery cost of $11.40 / ounce.

Dusty has held senior corporate positions on several publicly listed companies (TSX, TSX-V, ASX, AIM, and ASE), having served as a CEO / President, VP-Exploration, Technical Director, and Independent Director. Dusty is a QP (NI 43-101) and CP (JORC).

Bryce Bradley, Thunderstruck's President/CEO states, "With the addition of Dusty to the Board of Directors, and taking on the role of Senior Exploration Manager, we are poised for an aggressive advancement of our Fijian assets. His exploration experience, passion and track record for discoveries will lead the Company to great success, and we're very happy that he believes in the significant upside of our projects."

Dusty added, "I am very pleased to be joining Thunderstruck in this role. I believe the Company's projects are very exciting and have tremendous discovery potential. I look forward to being part of the excellent and professional exploration team that the Company has put together and participating in the discoveries that I feel are going to be made on our projects."

Drillhole "Liwa 1" intersected a broad zone (over 15.5 m) of clay-sericite-quartz alteration as well as other significant zones of alteration and mineralization, including over 25.5m of intense silicification, and zones up to 5.6m of visible sulphides. This alteration and mineralization are interpreted as epithermal, consistent with the upper portion of a porphyry copper-gold system. Assays from this drillhole are pending. An interval of 0.24m at 1.65 g/t Au and 5.14 g/t Ag was intersected in this drillhole.

Figure 1: Diagram of a telescoped porphyry-copper system from Sillitoe, 2010 "Porphyry Copper Systems". Edited to show possible relationship between Liwa and Rama. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/2901/110631_d3bfb1f8c474bad4_002full.jpg

Results from the drill hole confirm the presence of anomalous gold grades at depth on the property. Further, they indicate that the epithermal system linked to gold grades at surface continues at least 72m below ground, with continued potential at greater depths. Mineral alteration and vein textures at depth suggest that a complex and potentially ore-forming system exists at Liwa. Additionally, these features allude to the existence of a deeper "boiling zone" that is predicted to host higher gold grades at depth (See press release dated October 11, 2019).

Assays of samples collected during the 2021 mapping campaign confirm further extension of the epithermal system along-strike at Liwa, with samples in the new area grading up to 0.4 g/t Au. Additionally, the new outcrop of the Liwa Ridge breccia graded up to 1.010 g/t Au and 22.3 g/t Ag. This outcrop allowed for structural measurements to be taken of the breccia, which will lead to much improved drillhole targeting when the structure is drilled in 2022. The geochemistry and alteration at Liwa support the idea that is the top of a porphyry copper-gold system. Liwa is adjacent to the Company's Rama License, which has been identified as a porphyry copper-gold system. This supports the speculation that Liwa and Rama may be part of one large mineralized porphyry copper-gold system.

In addition, a distinct unit of volcanic rock hosting sulphide mineralization has been identified at Liwa, similar to the volcanic unit hosting massive sulphide mineralization at the Company's volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) projects, Korokayiu and Nakoro. This volcanic unit has been identified in both drill core and outcrop. This adds credence to the notion that the company's properties are all situated within a broad metallogenic region hosting a variety of deposit types. The geological team is excited to develop this idea further as they continue to refine their understanding of the region's geology.

Mapping on the Nakoro prospect was carried out between 24/11/2021 and 03/12/21. The purpose of this was: to verify the work and results of previous studies; develop a better understanding of the structure in the area; develop a better understanding of the alteration in the area; and to investigate the extension of existing targets along-strike.

Company geologists uncovered a 2km along-strike extension of the Nakoro massive sulphide gossans that can be correlated to targets that were historically drilled by Anglo American. This represents a significant enlargement of the prospect and provides additional targets for drilling in the 2022 season. Additionally, a gabbro intrusion hosting copper minerals such as bornite and chalcopyrite was discovered to the east of Nakoro Village. This is a potentially significant component of the mineralising system at Nakoro, and company geologists are excited to develop it further through upcoming assay results and investigation in the 2022 exploration season. The complexity of the geology in the area confirms that this was a geologically dynamic region of Fiji with great mineral potential.

The exploration program for 2022 is being developed and is contemplated to include the following:

•Liwa: Drilling at Liwa Ridge, Jensen's, Gunn and Vatuvatulevu. •Nakoro: Drilling Gossan Unit, geological mapping, and geochemical sampling both directions along strike; potentially drilling intrusive unit. •Rama: Investigating Senikura Zone: objective to confirm presence of high-sulphidation epithermal system and define drill targets for late 2022 or early 2023. •Korokayiu: drilling defined targets at Wainaleka. Defining and drilling new targets at Kula 1. •Regional and district-scale geologic mapping and geochemical sampling over Liwa-Rama and Nakoro-Liwa deposits.

Viti Levu, the main island of Fiji, has a long mining history. It is on the prolific Pacific Ring of Fire, a trend that has produced numerous large deposits, including Porgera, Lihir and Grasberg. The island of Viti Levu hosts Namosi, held by a joint venture between Newcrest and Mitsubishi. Newcrest published Proven and Probable Reserves for Namosi of 1.3 billion tonnes at 0.37% Cu and 0.12 g/t Au (5.2M ounces Au and 4.9M tonnes Cu). Namosi is now undergoing environmental assessment as part of the permitting process. Lion One Metals is now developing its Tuvatu Project, with Indicated Resources of 1.00 million tonnes at 8.48 g/t Au (274,600 ounces Au), and Inferred Resources of 1.33 million tonnes at 9.0 g/t Au (384,000 ounces Au) reported at a 3.0 g/t Au lower cutoff. The Vatukoula Gold Mine has been operating for 80 years, producing in excess of 7 million ounces.

Thunderstruck Resources is a Canadian mineral exploration company that has assembled extensive and highly prospective properties in Fiji on which recent and previous exploration has confirmed zinc, copper, and precious metals mineralization. The Company provides investors with exposure to a diverse portfolio of exploration stage projects with potential for zinc, copper, gold and silver in a politically safe and stable jurisdiction. Thunderstruck trades on the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol "AWE" and United States OTC under the symbol "THURF".

The analytical work reported on herein was performed by Australian Laboratory Services Pty. Ltd. (ALS) at Perth, WA. ALS is an ISO-IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited geoanalytical laboratory and is independent of the Thunderstruck Resources and the QP.

Rock and drill core samples were subject to crushing with >85% passing 3.15mm and then pulverised to better than 85% passing minus 75 micron. Samples were then split using a riffle splitter. A 0.25 gram sample pulp was then subject to 4-acid (HF-HNO3-HClO4) digestion and analysis through a combination of ICP-AES & ICP-MS (ME-MS61) for most elements, including silver. A 30 gram fire assay fusion (Au-ICP22) was used for gold determination.

Thunderstruck Resources follows industry standard procedures for the work carried out on the Liwa prospect, with a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program. Blank, duplicate and standard samples were inserted into the sample sequence sent to the laboratory for analysis. Thunderstruck Resources detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data. Thunderstruck Resources is not aware of any sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.

The new (9 th ) phase of drilling will initially test targets over 11-kilometer strike length between the historic Lousal and Caveira Mines;

First hole is testing potential northwest extension of Lousal Mine orebody;

Other holes will test targets at Monte da Bela Vista and the Caveira Mine area, and then several in-between VTEM geophysical anomalies.

Following exploration targets' drilling, the program will return to Central and Southern sectors at Sesmarias.

10-12 drill holes expected, totaling +6,000 meters in Phase 9.

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - Septem ber 15, 2022 – Avrupa Minerals Ltd. ( TSXV: AVU) (OTC:AVPMF) (FRANKFURT:8AM) announces that drilling re-started on the Alvalade Joint Venture Project in the Pyrite Belt of southern Portugal.  The program is a joint venture between Avrupa Minerals ("AVU" or "Company") and Minas de Aguas Teñidas, S.A. ("Sandfire MATSA" or "MATSA").  Avrupa continues to operate the project through the JV entity PorMining Lda.  To date, at Sesmarias North, the Company completed 17 diamond drill holes, totaling 8,900 meters, on six different fences along a strike length of 400 meters, as well as one further drill hole in the Caveira District, totaling 614 meters (see news release of April 4, 2022 ).

The new phase of drilling (9 th overall) will initially target anomalies located between the historic Lousal and Caveira Mines, over a strike length of approximately 11 kilometers.  The first drill hole targets potential mineralization located 300-400 meters northwest of the last reported mineralization in the Lousal Mine.  Following this Lousal Northwest hole, depending on results, we anticipate further testing in the Lousal area, as well as targets at the Monte da Bela Vista prospect drilled by Avrupa in 2012-2014, new targets in the Caveira Mine vicinity, and several strong VTEM geophysical anomalies located between Monte da Bela Vista and the south end of the Caveira Mine mineralized zones.

Once the drill rig is available for return to Sesmarias, or a second rig becomes available, we plan further exploratory drilling within the Central and Southern sectors of the known mineralization.  Previous, wide-spaced drilling by Avrupa demonstrated the presence of robust massive sulfide mineralization over a further strike length of +1,200 meters through the central and southern sectors at Sesmarias.

Figure 2. Location of Sesmarias massive sulfide mineralization, showing both recent and historic drilling on the project.  Present joint venture drilled only about 400 meters of strike length, to date.  Mineralization is open to the north.  Previous, wide-spaced drilling outlined a further +1,200 meters to the south of recent JV work.  Mineralization is potentially open to the south, as well, beyond the 1,200-meter estimate.

Avrupa expects to drill a further 6,000 meters in 10 to 12 drill holes in the current phase of drilling.  MATSA has indicated that the budget for Phase 9 is in the range of 1.4 to 1.7 million euros.  The budget will also include further re-processing of the VTEM data and an airborne gravity survey to cover the entire license, using modern techniques and detailed location and elevation information to replace a patchwork of historic gravity surveys from the 1990's.  Historically, gravity surveys are effective tools for locating non-visible, buried massive sulfide bodies in the Iberian Pyrite Belt.  The re-processing of the VTEM data is presently underway, and we expect to perform the gravity survey around mid - Q4 2022.

Paul W. Kuhn, President and CEO of Avrupa, commented, "We are excited to get the drilling going again.  The JV geology team has constructed a set of hard targets along an 11-kilometer strike length between the Lousal and Caveira Mines.  While we have concentrated our efforts at Sesmarias for good reason, and will get back to drilling the Sesmarias copper-zinc prospect, we are also quite excited to test the other VMS targets that we have developed over the past two years."

IBW hosts three previously identified massive sulphide deposits: La Infanta, La Romanera and El Cura. All deposits are open for expansion along strike and at depth. The current results are from 3 drill holes in La Romanera LR012, LR014 and LR017 (see Figure 1 and Table 1 below). All three holes intercepted the Upper and Lower lenses. Presently, there are 9 diamond drills delineating the Romanera deposit and one rig continues to drill the La Infanta deposit.

The first lens in hole LR014 occurs from 595.1 m. The Upper lens is 15.1 m with a grade of 0.3 % Cu; 1.3 % Pb; 6.6 % Zn; 0.1 g/t Au and 61.1 g/t Ag. The unmineralized rock interval between them is 0.5 m. The Lower lens consists of 6.1 m with a grade of 0.3 % Cu; 2.1 % Pb; 10.1 % Zn; 0.7 g/t Au and 98.4 g/t Ag.

LR017 intercepted massive sulphides 100 m east of LR009 (Please see the Company's press release dated September 8, 2022) and 60 m from LR014. The Upper Lens starts from 612.7 m and consists of 2.2 m grading 0.3 % Cu; 3.5 % Pb; 8.3 % Zn; 0.1 g/t Au and 27.5 g/t Ag. The separation between the two lenses is 2.7 m. The Lower Lens occurs from 617.6 m and is 1.8 m grading 6.4 % Cu; 0.2 % Pb; 1.0 % Zn; 0.1 g/t Au and 18.7 g/t Ag. This drill hole intercept is strongly enriched in copper.

Intercepted mineralization at approximately 300 metres vertically below surface. Two lenses were encountered: Upper lens occurs from 332.2 m with 16.6 m grading 0.3 % Cu; 1.4 % Pb; 1.7 % Zn; 2.3 g/t Au and 96.8 g/t Ag (including 2.1 m grading 0.8 % Cu; 6.6 % Pb; 9.4 % Zn; 4.5 g/t Au and 396.7 g/t Ag). The Lower lens was intercepted 40.8 m below the Upper lens and encountered 6.5 m grading 0.3 % Cu; 0.1 % Pb; 0.1 % Zn; 1.7 g/t Au and 65.0 g/t Ag. This drill hole represents a stepout of 100 m to the west relative to historical data and has elevated gold and silver values.

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, announces that it has issued 745,033 common shares (the "Shares") at a deemed price of $0.302 per Share to Ares Strategic Mining Inc. (the "Vendor"), which price is based on the Company's 10-day VWAP

The issuance of the Shares to the Vendor represents the second payment required pursuant to the option agreement dated March 17, 2022, as amended, (the "OptionAgreement") entered into with the Vendor for the acquisition Jackpot Lake, located in Clark County, Nevada. The Shares are subject to a hold period of four months and one day. The Shares issued were fewer than the maximum of 937,500 Shares, being the cap included in the Option Agreement, as the Company's 10-day VWAP of $0.302 was above the 10-day VWAP at the time of signing the Option Agreement. The third payment will need to be made on or before March 17, 2023.

The Company intends on satisfying the $1,000,000 work commitment through the expenditures from its upcoming maiden drill program of which USHA is in the final stages of preparing. The Company will provide updates in the coming weeks as the project moves towards drill mobilization.

Jackpot Lake Lithium Brine Property

The Jackpot Lake Lithium Brine Property is located within Clark County, 35 kilometres northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, and is comprised of 140 mineral claims that total 2,800 acres. The project is exploring a "playa" which appears to be within a closed basin that may contain potentially lithium-rich brines. The geologic model is similar to that of Albemarle's Silver Peak Nevada Lithium Mine which has operated continuously since 1966, where sediments from lithium‑rich surrounding source rocks accumulate and fill the deposit leading to a potential concentration of lithium brine due to successive evaporation and concentration events.

The Company has permitted 2,700 metres over 6 holes and intends on commencing its maiden drill program this fall with the goal of defining a 43-101 resource. USHA's current and ongoing program at Jackpot Lake is operated by Rangefront Mining Service, a local Nevada firm with personnel that specialize in the planning and execution of lithium brine exploration, including resource estimation.

The project is considered to be "drill-ready" based on the following work which has successfully delineated a 5 x 2 kilometre anomaly within a closed basin that suggests the presence of a highly concentrated brine:

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc. advises that it has suspended plans to complete its proposed 2,500m drilling program on its 100% owned Eaglehead polymetallic porphyry copper project located approximately 50 kilometers ('km') east of Dease Lake, British Columbia. The Eaglehead project covers a large portion (16,492.62 ha) of the Lower Jurassic age (+-195Ma), Eaglehead stock.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "The delay in receipt of the permit to conduct the drilling program has been an extremely frustrating exercise. Since filing the NoW in early February 2022 Copper Fox has maintained contact with the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation on the status and have been advised that they are unable to guarantee a timeline on our NoW. Given the remote nature of the camp/drilling location, the need for helicopter support and the onset of winter weather conditions, regrettably, Copper Fox has opted to delay the drilling program for this year."

Historical Drill Holes A total of 10 drill holes have been re-logged and previously un-sampled mineralized intervals totalling 175m have been sampled and sent for analyses. The mineralized intervals ranging in length from 2 to 45m consist of fracture and quartz veinlet-controlled chalcopyrite (+/- bornite-molybdenite) mineralization.

Field Investigations Prospecting and mapping of Target #4; southwest of the Bornite zone, located an area measuring approximately 300m by 200m of copper mineralization hosted in phyllic altered Quartz Diorite. Pyrite and limonite, along with several anhydrite veinlets, were observed within this zone. A late stage propylitic overprint (veinlets and disseminated epidote) was also noted. Malachite with minor azurite (after chalcopyrite) occur in extensively leached, quartz veinlets, along shear planes and disseminated throughout the Quartz Diorite. North of the Bornite-East zones, a NW trending NE dipping (55o) fault zone has been located. Structural relationships suggest transport of the hangingwall of the fault to the west. The location of this north dipping fault zone provides a better understanding of the location and morphology of the chargeability anomaly identified by the 2021 geophysical survey.

Archeological Survey A draft report of the archaeological survey dated September 1, 2022, entitled "Preliminary Field Reconnaissance within Eaglehead Mineral Claim Area" has been received.
