Rush's Copper Mountain Uranium Project: A Major Expansion and Boxi Property Update

Rush Rare Metals Corp. (CSE: RSH) has announced a significant expansion of its Copper Mountain uranium project in Wyoming, increasing the project area from approximately 4,200 to 9,320 acres. This expansion includes new prospects such as Railroad, Steffen Hill, Cedar Ridge, Mole, West Mesa, and Lucky Cliff, as well as extensions of existing areas like Fuller, Mint, Midnight, and Knob. The newly acquired areas have confirmed significant surface or subsurface uranium mineralization and may be prospective for other minerals.

The expansion was guided by extensive historical exploration data, including over 2,000 drill holes from Union Pacific's 1970s work and Myriad's 2024 maiden drill program. Many new areas show significant uranium mineralization, with some targeted for sandstone-hosted deposits potentially suitable for in-situ recovery methods. This expansion is expected to increase the project's potential resource base and future production estimates.

Peter Smith, Rush's CEO, commented on the expansion, stating, "We are very excited about the recent expansions at Copper Mountain, which adds a great deal of ground to our earn-in agreement with Myriad, creating exciting new value and potential for Rush shareholders. We have an ever-expanding collection of highly prospective zones at Copper Mountain which have all demonstrated great potential for extensive uranium mineralization through historical exploration records. In addition, Myriad's recent successful drill program in just one of these zones, at the Canning zone, has started to not only validate the historical work, but also increase our expectations in terms of the size, depth, and grade in some of these mineralized zones."

In addition to the Copper Mountain project expansion, Rush provided an update on its Boxi Property in Quebec. The Boxi Property hosts niobium within pegmatite intrusions and spans a 15km prospective zone with potential for critical minerals. Recent channel sampling continued to show anomalous niobium values, although at lower levels than earlier prospecting. The company is optimistic about the Boxi Property's potential for further investigations and discoveries.

Rush's strategic focus on expanding its uranium and critical mineral projects, along with its commitment to leveraging historical data and exploring new prospects, positions the company well in the growing uranium and critical mineral markets. Investors should keep a close eye on Rush's progress as it continues to develop its projects and create value for shareholders.
