Rush Announces Filing of Technical Report for Its Copper Mountain Uranium Project in Wyoming

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2023 / RUSH RARE METALS CORP. ("Rush" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that BRS Engineering has completed a Technical Report (the "Report") for its Copper Mountain uranium project near Riverton, Wyoming, USA (the "Copper Mountain Uranium Project"). The Report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

The Copper Mountain Uranium Project is comprised of 110 claims and encompasses several historical uranium occurrences, including the Arrowhead Uranium Mine which produced as much as 500,000 pounds of eU₃O₈ in the 1960's and 1970's (prior to a virtual shutdown of uranium mining activities in the USA at the end of the 1970's). The Copper Mountain Uranium Project is held by Rush through its wholly owned subsidiary, Rush Uranium Wyoming, LLC.

A map showing the Copper Mountain Uranium Project, as well as some historical drillholes and uranium occurrences, is reproduced below:

Some highlights, quoted directly from the Report, include:

"Uranium deposition is found in both Eocene sedimentary rocks as well as Precambrian granitic rocks. Two primary areas of known uranium deposition occur within the Project area, the Arrowhead Mine area, and the North Canning uranium deposit. Additional prospect areas exist within the project area."

"Past production in the district totalled approximately 500,000 lbs of eU₃O₈, primarily from the Arrowhead Mine (Yellich and others, 1978)."

"Historic drill pad locations can be observed in the North Canning, Arrowhead, Last Hope, and Allard/Mint areas… The historic drill areas may be useful along with geologic unit mapping to plan an exploration drilling program…"

"Historic data may be available for the drilling completed... It is recommended that efforts be made to obtain the historic data, which may be available from public sources."

The Report recommends work in two phases. The first phase is comprised almost entirely of desktop research, specifically to track down and analyze historical drill logs from the area, if they can be found. The estimated cost for the first phase is $50,000 USD, and Rush has already started the process of locating some of the historical drill data. Success with this phase will, in turn, inform the second phase which will involve drilling to confirm previous results.

The Company CEO, Peter Smith, commented that "it is certainly noteworthy that over 2,000 boreholes were reportedly drilled in the area and that there was historically some 500,000 pounds of uranium production within the claim area. We are seeking data on the project including the historical drill logs and should we be successful in this effort, it will be a tremendous head-start in assessing the Copper Mountain Uranium Project. While we recognize that the historical drill data would have to be verified, this would represent a fraction of the cost and time necessary to re-drill the project. I'll add that we were very pleased with the work done by BRS Engineering preparing this report, which was delivered on time and on budget."

The Company also announces the appointment of Nelson Lamb as CFO, replacing Jason Baybutt. Nelson is a CPA, CA, experienced in corporate finance, financial reporting, and strategic planning. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Victoria and obtained his CPA, CA designation while working at PricewaterhouseCoopers. From December 2015 to May 2021, Nelson worked as the Manager of Accounting Services at Pubco Reporting Solutions Inc., a boutique accounting and consulting firm. Nelson has extensive public company experience, acting as an independent director or CFO for companies on the CSE and TSX-V across a variety of sectors and has extensive M&A and financing experience. Peter Smith, Rush CEO, commented that, "we are very pleased to welcome Nelson to the Company as CFO. I've worked with Nelson before on Myriad Uranium Corp., and other projects, and he certainly has the skills and experience to help propel the Company forward."
