USHA) (OTCQB:
USHAF) is pleased
to
announce that it has entered into a share exchange agreement dated
August 11, 2021 (the
"Share
Exchange Agreement") with 1236598 B.C.
Ltd. ("1236")
and the
shareholders of 1236 (the "1236
Shareholders").
Pursuant
to the Share Exchange Agreement, it is intended that 1236 will
become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the
Company (the
"Transaction").
1236 has
an option to acquire
a 100% interest
in a Copper-Cobalt
Property (the "Property")
located in Silver Bow and Madison Counties,
Montana, subject to a
2% net
smelter returns royalty.
The
Property
The Property is
located within Silver Bow and Madison Counties,
32 kilometres
south of
Butte, Montana and is comprised of 65 Federal Unpatented Lode
Claims that total over 1,342
acres.
The
various
claims comprising the Property
have
over
10,000 metres
of
historical
drilling,
including by majors such as BHP, Cominco, Homestake, Phelps
Dodge and Rio Tinto.
Significant drill and trench results include:
-
1.2%
copper, 0.036% cobalt, and 200 ppb gold over 11.7
metres
of
massive sulfides in DH WCC-4
-
0.15% to
0.3% cobalt and up to 1.14% copper over 96.3
metres
in DH K-1
(note,
only 1 ft
was assayed for every 10 ft)
-
1.8%
copper and 450 ppb gold over 1.25
metres
in DH
PD-1
-
19.0%
zinc over 0.7
metres
in DH
M-1
-
19.8%
zinc over 0.4
metres
in DH
79-1

Up
to 4.7% copper,
0.07%

BHP-Utah

locations.
The land package is
underlain by Proterozoic meta-sedimentary rocks with SEDEX style
mineralization that is interpreted
to be age-equivalent and part
of the same Belt Supergroup that includes the
world-class
past-producing
Sullivan Mine in British Columbia.
Recent airborne
geophysical survey work (Geotech's Helicopter Borne VTEM) has
delineated a series of
high-priority
electromagnetic anomalies within the Property (often indicative
of sulphide
mineralization),
and numerous major and minor structures, which require
follow-up exploration and
possibly drilling. The
Company's plan over the coming months is to build on the
geophysical work completed through further geophysical mapping and
interpretation, sampling, and other techniques in order to
launch a
comprehensive drill program with the goal of completing a maiden
resource at one or more areas.

"We are thrilled to
have acquired such a significant project at a time when the demand
for cobalt and copper is increasing so
dramatically," stated Deepak
Varshney, CEO of the Company. "This project checks
off all the boxes – a mining-friendly
jurisdiction, easy year-round access, great historic results, and
world-class vendors.
The vendor group
includes Jim Greig,
President
of Benchmark Metals, who
stated
"The cobalt and copper
property has significant anomalous targets with world-class
potential for large new discoveries. We look forward to working
with the USHA team to advance the project in a proven and prolific
region of the USA."
The
Transaction
Under the terms of
the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company proposes
to acquire
all
of the issued and
outstanding shares of
1236
from the
1236 Shareholders in exchange for 5,800,000 common
shares of the Company
(the
"Consideration
Shares"). The
Consideration Shares will be issued to the
1236
Shareholders on a pro rata basis at a deemed price of $0.30 per
Consideration Share. The Consideration
Shares will be subject to "lock-up" provisions
wherein 1,160,000
Consideration
Shares
will be released to the 1236
Shareholders every
4 months
from the closing of the Transaction. Upon completion of
the Transaction, 1236
will
become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of
the
Company.
Closing of the
Transaction is subject
to the TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, as well as other
conditions precedents, including
the closing of the Private Placement. There can be no assurance
that the Transaction will be completed as proposed, or, at
all.
Non-Brokered
Private Placement
The Company is also
pleased to announce that is has launched a
non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of up to
$3,000,000 through the issuance of up to 10,000,000 units (the
"Units")
at a price of $0.30 per Unit.
Each Unit will
consist of one common share (a "Share")
and one-half of one transferable share purchase warrant (a
"Warrant")
with each whole Warrant exercisable at $0.45 per share for a period
of two (2) years from the date of closing, subject to an
accelerated expiry if the closing trading price of the Company's
shares is greater than $0.75 per Share for a period of 10
consecutive trading days (the "Acceleration
Event").
The
Company will give notice to the holders of the Acceleration Event
and the warrants will expire 30 days thereafter.
Finder's fees may be paid in accordance with applicable securities
laws. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for
exploration on the Company's new
and existing portfolio of properties
and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
