Meeting to Approve the Proposed Plan of Arrangement
Vancouver, British Columbia / November 17, 2 022 – Usha Resources Ltd. (“USHA” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: USHA) (OTCQB: USHAF) (FSE: JO0) , a North American mineral acquisition
and exploration company focused on the development of drill-ready battery and precious metal projects, is
pleased to announce that is has obtained an Interim Order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia
authorizing the holding of its special meeting (the " Meeting") and matters relating to the conduct of th e
Meeting for the proposed plan of Arrangement (“ Arrangement”) between USHA and Formation Metals
Inc. (“Formation Metals” or “FMI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of USHA.
The Interim Order, granted on November 14, 2022, along with full details of the Arrangement, has been
included in the Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular that will be mailed to the
shareholders of the Company at least 21 days before December 16, 2022, the date of the Meeting.
At the Meeting, among other matters, shareholders will be asked to consider and approve the Arrangement
whereby, if approved, the Arrangement will result in the USHA shareholders receiving one (1) share of
FMI with respect to every five (5) shares of USHA owned on the share distribution record date (the “Share
Distribution Record Date”), which will be predetermined by USHA’s Board of Directors and announced
by a news release in advance, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Holders of USHA options and
warrants, who exercise their options and/or warrants before the Share Distribution Record Date, will also
be entitled to receive one (1) share of FMI with respect to every five (5) shares of USHA.
Upon completion of the Arrangement, USHA shareholders will ultimately own shares in two public
companies:
• USHA, which will be focused on its US -based assets, including the Jackpot Lake lithium brine
project; and
• Formation Metals, which will be focused on nickel at the Nicobat project in Ontario.
Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions, including the following conditions
which must be met:
• the approval by the shareholders of USHA at a special general meeting;
• the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia; and
• the acceptance of the Arrangement by the TSX Venture Exchange.
If the USHA shareholders approve the Arrangement, the Company will apply to the Supreme Court of
British Columbia for the final court order to approve the Arrangement. The hearing for the final court order
to approve the Arrangement will be held on January 6, 2023 or as soon thereafter as the hearing of the Final
Order can be heard or at such other date and time as the Court may direct.
The Arrangement cannot be completed until all the above conditions are met.
The Nicobat Nickel Property
The Nicobat Nickel Property is a nickel-copper-PGE project located in Dobie Township, Northwest Ontario
21 kilometres south of New Gold’s Rainy River Mine which hosts the Zone 34 nickel discovery.
Historic exploration work between 1952 and 1972 included over 15,000 metres of drilling, 220 drill holes
and numerous bulk samples that identified a non -compliant historic resource of 5.3 Mt grading 0.24% Ni
that contained a high-grade zone of approximately 225,000 tons grading 0.87% Ni.

Recent exploration work includes over 4,000 metres of drilling that has confirmed high-grade nickel-copper
shoots do exist and are considerably better than previously recorded in the historical drilling, with drillhole
A-04-15 intersecting from surface to approximately 63.75 metres a weighted average of 1.05% nickel and
2.18% copper that included an approximately 9.8-metre interval of 1.92% Ni from 53.95 to 63.75 metres.
The targeted feeder conduit measures approximately 305 metres by an average of 60 metres in width to a
depth of 245 metres that is potentially open at depth and down -plunge to the north and is composed of
cumulate textured olivine gabbro. This magma conduit sits in a larger norite body at the base of the Dobie
Gabbro. The historical assessment data records high-grade “ribs”, one of which includes the zone described
above. Future work will, therefore, focus on making the historic resource compliant current and expanding
on the work completed to asse ss for other high -grade “ribs” and the potential high -grade feeder zone as
shown in the model below.
