Rush Rare Metals Corp. announced that it has compiled an exploration plan for the spring of 2024 at its Boxi property in Quebec (?Boxi? or the ?Property?).

The program revolves around a mineralized dyke that runs along the surface through the Boxi Property for as far as 15km. Previous stripping and sampling along the dyke, which took 22 cut samples along a corridor of just under 2km, all returned anomalous values for niobium (Nb205), with the highest individual sample grades being 26.92%, 6.91%, 3.09%, 2.41% and 2.32%, respectively. This spring, the Company plans to conduct further stripping in key areas previously presenting as highly anomalous in a spectrometer survey.

Further sampling will be done in newly stripped areas. The Company will also collect channel samples across both old and newly exposed areas of the dyke, which should provide insights into the pattern of mineralization relative to the various types of intrusions occurring. Simultaneously, the Company will undertake detailed geological mapping, which should provide further insights as to the nature of mineralization, as well as the expected shape and depth of the dyke.

Finally, the Company is planning some backpack drilling (using a hand-held backpack drill, which can reach depths of up to 7-8 meters) and/or bulk sampling, which will provide insight into the consistency of mineralization across larger intervals. It is also noteworthy that although the dyke runs along the surface, its thickness and textures indicate a deep root of several hundred meters or more, and a possible feeder from a larger magma chamber below. Based on work conducted over the spring, Company anticipate that will learn a great deal about the dyke's full strike length, its expected overall shape and size below surface, and the likelihood of potential larger sources below.

Based on new information, Company may engage in a larger-scale drill program later in the summer/fall. Work is expected to start in mid-April, depending on access due to any remaining snow from the winter season. In addition to the work mentioned above, it is expected that further general prospecting will be conducted throughout the Property over the summer on an opportunity basis.

The Property is substantial, at over 8,000 hectares, and there may be further dykes and off-shoots of the main dyke yet to be discovered.
