USCM Completes Initial Exploration / Verification Program at Long Canyon Uranium and Vanadium Project in Idaho
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2024) - US Critical Metals Corp. (CSE: USCM) (OTCQB: USCMF) (FSE: 0IU0) ("USCM" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of an exploration / verification program at the Long Canyon Uranium and Vanadium Project in Idaho ("Long Canyon" or the "Property"). Long Canyon is comprised of 20 contiguous unpatented mining claims and three blocks of four claims which are non-contiguous unpatented mining claims in the state of Idaho. The 20 contiguous unpatented mining claims are located on land administrated by the Bureau of Land Management. The three non-contiguous unpatented mining claims blocks are located on land administered by the United States Forest Service. Historical sample results have shown up to 3,985 ppm U3O8 and 5,279 ppm V2O5 in soil samples. USCM holds a 70% interest in Long Canyon.
資訊由加拿大溫哥華新聞社於2024年7月16日發佈——美國貴金屬公司(美國證券交易所股票代碼:USCM,美國場外交易市場股票代碼:USCMF,德國交易所股票代碼:0IU0)(以下簡稱“USCM”或“公司”)很高興地宣佈,該公司在愛達荷州的Long Canyon uranium和vanadium項目(以下簡稱“Long Canyon”或“產權”)完成了勘探/驗證程序。Long Canyon由20個連續的未申請採礦權和三個由四個未相鄰未申請採礦權組成的區塊組成,這些區塊位於愛達荷州。這20個連續的未申請採礦權位於由土地管理局管理的土地上。三個非相鄰未申請採礦權塊位於美國森林局管理的土地上。歷史樣本結果顯示在土壤樣品中鈾濃度高達3985ppm,釩濃度高達5279ppm。 USCm在Long Canyon擁有70%的權益。
The recently completed exploration program focused on expanding and confirming the historical results and targeted priority areas, which include indications of drilling and trenching. The current program included a total of 19 samples as follows:
這份最近完成的勘探計劃旨在擴大並確認歷史結果和目標優先區域,包括鑽探和掘溝的跡象。該計劃一共涉及19個樣本,具體是:
- Samples from historic prospects comprised of numerous dozer / track hoe excavations into locally-gossanous shale-sandstone-dolomite bedrock. USCM collected eight (8) outcrop / subcrop rock samples proximal to previously collected samples with reported uranium enrichment (Photo 1);
- Samples from historic trenches and drill sites into locally gossanous black shale-sandstone bedrock. USCM collected three (3) rock chip samples from outcrop / subcrop / drill cuttings in or near historic trenches (Photo 2);
- Samples from historic roads and trenches cut into locally gossanous black shale-sandstone bedrock. USCM collected three (3) outcrop / subcrop rock chip samples from historic trenches (Photo 3); and
- Samples from trenches into locally gossanous black shale-sandstone bedrock. USCM collected five (5) outcrop / subcrop rock chip samples from historic trenches (Photo 4).
- 歷史前景樣本,包括挖掘數次鏇瀉狀頁岩-砂岩-白雲岩基岩的剷車/履帶挖掘。USCm從以前報告過的鈾富集的區域採集了8個露頭/亞露頭岩石樣本(圖1);
- 歷史掘溝和鑽井點樣品,砂岩-白雲岩基岩處於鏇瀉狀黑色頁岩-砂岩下,USCm從歷史區域掘溝(照片2)或控制區域採集了3個岩石樣品;
- 歷史道路和掘溝樣品,由於砂岩-白雲岩基岩被鏇瀉,需要瀝青覆蓋道路和掘溝, USCm從歷史掘溝(照片3)採集了3個露頭/亞露頭岩石樣品;和
- 砂岩-白雲岩基岩掘溝樣品,USCm從歷史掘溝採集了5個岩石樣品(照片4)。
USCM expects to release sampling results and interpretations upon receipt of assays and determine future plans for continued exploration of the Property at that time. The next phase of work is expected to include further geochemical sampling, detailed geological mapping, and a UAV spectrometer radiometric survey to better map and identify areas with elevated uranium concentrations. The near-term objective of the Company is to further delineate priority targets for a focused drill campaign to determine the extent of uranium and vanadium mineralization.
USCm預計在收到化驗結果並確定繼續探索該物業的未來計劃後發佈取樣結果和解釋。下一階段的工作將包括進一步的地球化學取樣,詳細的地質映射以及無人機光譜儀放射測量調查,以更好地繪製和識別具有高鈾濃度的區域。公司的短期目標是進一步勾畫重點目標,進行專項鑽探,以確定鈾和釩礦化的範圍。 USCm首席執行官兼董事達倫·柯林斯先生評論道:"Long Canyon是愛達荷州潛在定義鈾和釩的新源頭。鈾可能是支持能源轉型擺脫化石燃料的可行能源,並已在國際政府和生產商中獲得越來越多的支持。我們將繼續投入資源進一步探索這一資產。我們期待即將公佈的化驗結果,並將在收到結果時公佈。"
Management Commentary
管理層評論
Mr. Darren Collins, CEO and Director of USCM, comments: "Long Canyon is an asset with the potential to define a new source of uranium and vanadium in the state of Idaho. Uranium is potentially a viable source of energy to support the energy transition from fossil fuel and has been gaining momentum with governments and producers internationally. We will continue to allocate resources to further explore this asset. We look forward to the forthcoming assays and will announce the results when we receive them."
USCm首席執行官兼董事達倫·柯林斯先生髮表評論說:"Long Canyon是一個擁有在愛達荷州定義鈾和釩潛力的資產。鈾可能是一種可行的能源來源,以支持從化石燃料的能源過渡,隨着政府和生產商的支持,在國際上已經具有越來越多的動能。我們將繼續投入資源進一步探索這一資產。我們期待即將公佈的化驗結果,並將在收到結果時公佈。"
