NEOTECH METALS COMMENCES DRILLING AT HECLA-KILMER, APPOINTS JARED GALENZOSKI AS DIRECTOR

Crews have mobilized to Neotech Metals Corp.'s 100-per-cent-owned Hecla-Kilmer rare earth project in Ontario, Canada, to commence drilling and environmental studies.

The company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Jared Galenzoski, PGeo, current vice-president, exploration, of Neotech, to its board of directors, replacing Brian Thurston. The company would like to thank Mr. Thurston for his dedicated efforts over the past two years and wishes him continued success in his future endeavours.

Hecla-Kilmer drill program

The drill program at Hecla-Kilmer is designed for up to 10,000 metres, with a focus on infill definition and proximal extensional targets within the Pike zone. The objective of the program is to advance toward a maiden resource estimate in 2026. In parallel, the company will be relogging historic drill core completed by the previous operator, VR Resources, and conducting selective assaying of previously unsampled intervals.

Environmental and community engagement

Environmental baseline studies, including water sampling, will be undertaken as part of the company's continuing efforts to responsibly advance and derisk the project. Neotech will also continue its commitment to pro-active community and indigenous engagement to further strengthen relationships with all stakeholders in the region.

TREO project update

Samples from the recently completed drill program at the TREO project in British Columbia are now at the laboratory, with assay results pending. The company expects to provide an update once results have been received and analyzed.
