YORK HARBOUR METALS RECEIVES DRILLING PERMIT FOR HIGH PRIORITY TARGETS AT BOTTOM BROOK RARE EARTH PROJECT

York Harbour Metals Inc. has received government approvals that allow the company to immediately commence a core drilling program on its 100-per-cent-owned Bottom Brook property located near Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador.

The company announced on July 31 that initial fieldwork had discovered a new zone of high-grade rare-earth element (REE) mineralization 750 metres south-southwest of the historic U3 REE zone. The program also confirmed high-grade surface samples near the U3 occurrence.

Grab samples collected from BB and U3 REE showings returned TREO values ranging from 0.07 to 22.3 per cent. High-grade sample 116575 from the U3 showing included very high concentrations of magnetic rare-earth elements neodymium, praseodymium, terbium and dysprosium (Nd, Pr, Tb and Dy) also known as (magnet REEs or MREs). Sample 116575 contained total MREs of 5.00 (50 kilograms per tonne MRE).

The company will start mobilizing geological personnel this week and the drilling equipment and personnel will be on site to start drilling by Nov. 6. The first drill holes will test the two REE targets at the BB zone that the company mapped and sampled during the 2023 fieldwork, as well as a third nearby overburden-covered target with anomalous airborne and ground magnetics results.
