Ucore Rare Metals Inc. provided an update regarding the 2022 field sampling program at its Bokan-Dotson Ridge heavy rare earth element mineral resource project. Aurora Geosciences Ltd.'s contractors, consisting of two geologists and three geotechnical laborers, were on site from May 13 to June 10, 2022. This work was followed by sample submissions to the Bureau Veritas preparation lab in Juneau, Alaska.

Final analyses are still in process at the Bureau Veritas laboratory in Vancouver, BC, Canada, with current assay analyses times measured in months due to the extremely high levels of mineral exploration activity. Additional details of the Field Program: Two new 25-ton bulk samples were collected from the western portion of the main Dotson Ridge mineralized zone. This will enable a comparison to the bulk material collected from the east side of the main Dotson Ridge mineralized zone in 2011.

A total of 31 new sites across the entire Dotson Ridge zone were channel sampled and consisted of 137 samples. These 31 channel sites varied from two samples extending over a total of 1- meter to up to eleven samples across 4-meters. These sample locations were selected to fill in gaps in Aurora's geological model of the deposit and improve the confidence level of the published resource for the property.

All accommodations, rental equipment, marine & aircraft charters, and camp supplies were sourced from local Ketchikan suppliers, and two of the five geological contractors were Ketchikan locals. The camp cook and drilling & blasting subcontractors were also sourced from Southeast Alaska. Aurora expects that the results of the channel sampling program will allow a significant portion of the modeled rare earth resource to be upgraded from `Indicated' to now `Measured.'

It is also expected that the total tonnage of the current mineral resource will marginally increase due to the new exposures of mineralized vein materials discovered in the Field Program.
