Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 24, 2024) - Carolina Rush Corporation (TSXV: RUSH) (OTCQB: PUCCF) ("Carolina Rush" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a 3,000-meter core drill program will commence on April 29 at its flagship Brewer Gold-Copper Project in South Carolina.
Layton Croft, President and CEO, stated: "Initial drill targeting will focus on the newly discovered Tanyard Breccia Zone, south of the former Brewer mine (see Figure 1). To date this zone has been tested with three holes (see Table 1). The most notable result has been the intersection of 62.5-meters @ 8.5 g/t Au and
Patrick Quigley, Senior Geologist and Exploration Manager, stated: "Three, 25-meter step outs from hole 21 are planned to determine the geometry and controls on mineralization as well as the relationship between the gold-telluride zone and the breccia-hosted gold-copper mineralization. Additional drilling will focus on extending the Tanyard Breccia Zone along strike and down-dip, where the mineralization appears to correlate with the northern margin of a large chargeability anomaly that has been mapped for >400 meters along strike."

Figure 2: Example of Gold-Telluride Mineralization Encountered in Drill Hole B23C-021 at 171m Depth. This Sample is From a 1-Meter Interval (170.5-171.5 meters) That Averaged 372.0 g/t Au.
The core sample displays the nature of the gold-tellurides, which occur in quartz veins and as disseminated grains and patches within intensely altered (quartz-pyrophyllite) volcanic host rock.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Statement
The Company's exploration core drilling programs have utilized HQ and/or NQ sized core. After each drill run, core was placed in designated core boxes by the drill contractors and was delivered directly to the Company's field office in Jefferson, SC, located approximately 6 kilometers from the Brewer property, at the end of each shift. The core was logged and marked for sampling and assaying by geologists contracted by Rush. Samples, typically 1.5 meters in length, were sawn in half using a diamond core saw and one-half of the core was placed in sample bags and tagged with unique sample numbers, while the remaining half was kept in the core box for storage. Each bagged core sample was shipped to the assay laboratory where it was dried, crushed and pulverized to >
