Assay laboratory results have affirmed the high-grade nature of the Sheep Creek rare earth deposit in south-west Montana, US Critical Minerals Corp said on Tuesday.

Samples confirmed more than 10% (100 000 parts per million) of total rare earth oxides, including high levels of neodymium and praseodymium.

These readings far exceed any other domestic rare earths resource, the company stated.

"The combination of high-grade rare earths, low thorium, and carbonatites 125 feet below surface is a geological phenomenon that does not exist in other reported US deposits. Over the course of my career independently evaluating rare earth properties within the US, I have never encountered a property with the grades being generated by Sheep Creek,” said US Critical Materials president Jim Hendrick.

“I firmly believe that this project will continue to produce exceptional results and further our objective of opening a new district-scale rare earth destination to address the critical rare earth needs of US industry and government."

The analytical results were obtained from Activation Labs, Ancaster, Canada.
