Usha Resources Ltd. announced that it has made the first anniversary payments for the initial 712 claims comprising the White Willow Lithium Pegmatite Project located 170 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. A total of $50,000 and 1,000,000 shares have been issued to 2758145 Ontario Ltd. ("2758145" or the "Vendor") and Grid Metals Corp. (the "Assignor") of Toronto, Ontario.

The Shares will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. White Willow Project Summary The White Willow Lithium pegmatite Project is located in the Thunder Bay Mining Division near Atikokan, Ontario, and presents a unique and timely opportunity to capitalize on the rapidly growing lithium metal and green energy markets in Canada. Spanning over 21,000 hectares across 968 claims, the property is situated 170 kilometres west of Thunder Bay in proximity to other lithium projects in the region, such as the Seymour Lake Lithium Project, the Georgia Lake pegmatite field, and the Separation Rapids Lithium deposit, showcasing the region's rich lithium potential.

The Property is confirmed to host a fertile lithium-cesium-tantalum ("LCT") system with the presence of two highly evolved LCT-pegmatite dikes, the "Maple Leaf" and "Bingo" dikes, across a >27 km potential strike, still open at both ends. Since acquiring the Project on March 28, 2023, the Company has completed 19 weeks of fieldwork at the Project. Phase 4 is presently underway with the goal of further defining the drill-ready "Maple Leaf" and 'Bingo" dykes prior to commencing its maiden drill program in the Spring.

Select highlight results from targets identified to-date include up to 0.5% Li2O (2,310 ppm), 1,833 ppm cesium, 120,000 ppm tantalum and 4,100 ppm rubidium.
