US Critical Metals Corp. (USCM) has recently completed an exploration program at the Long Canyon Uranium and Vanadium Project in Idaho, revealing promising historical sample results. The project, which consists of 20 contiguous unpatented mining claims and three blocks of four claims, has shown high levels of uranium and vanadium in soil samples, with up to 3,985 ppm U3O8 and 5,279 ppm V2O5 reported.
The exploration program focused on expanding and confirming these historical results, targeting priority areas for drilling and trenching. A total of 19 samples were collected, including rock samples from different prospects, historic trenches, and roads cut into the bedrock. USCM aims to release sampling results and interpretations upon receiving assays, gearing up for further exploration of the property.
With the potential to define a new source of uranium and vanadium in Idaho, Long Canyon is seen as a valuable asset by USCM. CEO Darren Collins expressed optimism about the project’s future, emphasizing the importance of uranium as a source of energy to support the global energy transition.
USCM’s objective is to delineate priority targets for a focused drill campaign to determine the extent of mineralization on the property. The company plans to conduct further geochemical sampling, geological mapping, and a UAV spectrometer radiometric survey to identify areas with elevated uranium concentrations.
The completion of the exploration program marks a significant step forward for USCM in its mission to secure critical metals and rare earth elements essential for the new age economy. With promising historical data and a strategic focus on advancing US interests, USCM is positioned to make valuable contributions to the mining industry.
