Strong Uranium-Vanadium Grades & CRD-Style Mineralization At Long Canyon

VANCOUVER – US Critical Metals Corp. reported on the 2025 field program at the Long Canyon Vanadium-Uranium Project located in Lemhi County, Idaho. The program consisted of collecting 102 rock samples within the Company’s current claim blocks and has identified two complementary mineralizing systems: 1) Metal-rich black shales: Vanadium (V), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), zinc (Zn), and uranium (U) are hosted in stratigraphic black-shale horizons within the McGowan Creek Formation, with contributions from shaly beds at the top of the Middle Canyon Formation. 2) CRD-style (“CRD”) mineralization: Silver (Ag), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) ± copper (Cu), with elevated antimony (Sb), hosted in carbonates of the Jefferson Formation (limestone and locally dolostone) along mapped structures within the Long Canyon claims.
The completion of the program and results coincide with significant developments within the critical metals industry. Given the political shift in the U.S. to deglobalize and secure domestic sources of supply, the program was strategically timed to capitalize on the sweeping U.S. federal directive to expand nuclear energy and reform uranium permitting processes in the U.S. These developments are outlined in the executive order released on May 23, 2025. Long Canyon is ideally positioned to benefit from these initiatives, given it has the hallmarks of a polymetallic shale-hosted system.
Darren Collins, CEO and Director, said, “We are very pleased by the results of this field program. We have continued to confirm the potential grade and scale of the black-shale system and have now verified a new CRD system within the claim blocks. Our team will look to implement further programs at Long Canyon with the objective of commencing a well-defined drill program.”
