Black Shale Uranium Identified Along With Potential CRD Mineralization At Long Canyon

VANCOUVER – U.S. Critical Metals Corp. (USCM) reported completion of a geological field program at its Long Canyon Uranium Project, located in Lemhi County, Idaho. The program included systematic mapping and geochemical sampling designed to evaluate areas hosting previously identified V-Mo-U-Ni-Zn mineralization in shale and limestone. The program also expanded into other areas with the objective of increasing the scale of the Project and developing a more regional perspective of the geologic systems present. USCM holds Long Canyon in partnership with IDEX Metals Corp.

251 rock samples were taken across the property and focused on altered and iron oxide-stained shale and gossanous limestone. Elevated scintillometer readings and visible mineralization observed in multiple black shale and carbonate horizons. Historical work has identified several faulted and folded, 20 to 30 meter thick black shale horizons in the Phosphoria Formation, which hosts many of the mineralized exposures. Additional attention was given to limestone-hosted mineralization which is comparable to the Phosphoria-hosted deposits of the Leadore District of Idaho about 75 kilometers north of the Project.

Darren Collins, CEO, said, “Initial field results from Long Canyon validate our belief in the district’s potential to host multiple mineralization styles. These field observations demonstrate a compelling combination of structural complexity, prospective stratigraphy, and visible mineral indicators. The advancement of this project aligns with current Executive Orders of the US Federal Government, and we look forward to receiving assay data for this highly promising exploration project.”
