[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2025) - U.S. Critical Metals Corp. (CSE: USCM) (OTCQB: USCMF) (FSE: 0IU) (\"USCM\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the successful completion of a geological field program at its Long Canyon Uranium Project, located in Lemhi County, Idaho (the \"Project\" or \"Long Canyon\"). 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. (for more information see Company's press release - access here).\nHighlights:\n\n251 rock samples were taken across the property and focused on altered and iron oxide-stained shale and gossanous limestone.\nElevated scintillometer readings and visible mineralization observed in multiple black shale and carbonate horizons.\nHistorical 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.\nAdditional 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.\n\nManagement Commentary\nDarren Collins, CEO of the Company, commented: \"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.\"\nField Program Observations\nThe field program focused on documenting the geologic framework enveloping mineralized (oxidized) horizons across the Project. The geologic team traversed the Project starting from identified mineralized areas and expanded outwards to trace the extent of these horizons. Across the property, several 20-30 meter thick intervals of structurally defor...
