Integral Metals Reports Over 1% TREE Soil Geochemical Anomaly at the Burntwood Project
Integral Metals (OTC:ITGLF) has announced significant findings from its 2024 soil geochemistry program at the Burntwood Project in Manitoba. The company collected 867 soil samples across the Burntwood Syenite-Carbonatite Complex, revealing notable rare earth element (REE) anomalies.
A standout soil sample, BT24-MSJ11, yielded over 10,000 ppm total rare earth elements (TREE), including 2,870 ppm neodymium, 652 ppm praseodymium, and 358 ppm samarium. The sample also showed significant pathfinder values of 18.7% P2O5, 4,450 ppm strontium, and 1,050 ppm barium. The anomalous geochemical zone extends several hundred meters within the central portion of the Complex.

Rare Earth Element Anomalies Discovered at Burntwood Project, Highlighting Potential for Future Exploration
CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integral Metals Corp. (CSE: INTG | OTC: ITGLF | FSE: ZK9) (the “Company” or “Integral”) is pleased to report highly encouraging results from the 2024 soil geochemistry program completed at its Burntwood Project in Manitoba.
At Burntwood, the Company collected 867 soil geochemical samples across the Burntwood Syenite-Carbonatite Complex (the “Complex”) to evaluate rare earth element (REE) fertility and identify new zones for follow-up. Several anomalies were dominated by light (LREE) and heavy (HREE) rare earth elements, as well as associated pathfinders such as phosphorous pentoxide (as P2O5), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba).
Figures 1 to 6 present maps of total rare earth elements (TREEs), LREEs, HREEs, P2O5, Sr, and Ba. One soil sample, BT24-MSJ11, returned over 10,000 ppm TREE, which included 2,870 ppm neodymium (Nd), 652 ppm praseodymium (Pr), and 358 ppm samarium (Sm), alongside 210 ppm gadolinium (Gd), 113 ppm dysprosium (Dy), and 4 ppm terbium (Tb). Pathfinder values included
Integral Metals will provide further updates as additional datasets become available from the 2024 survey program.
Paul Sparkes, CEO of Integral Metals, stated, "We are excited by these results from the 2024 soil geochemistry program at Burntwood, which have revealed encouraging rare earth element anomalies. The elevated values, particularly in neodymium, praseodymium, and samarium, underscore the strong potential of the Burntwood Syenite-Carbonatite Complex as a promising exploration target. These findings will guide our next steps as we continue to evaluate this exciting opportunity."
