Neotech Metals Corp. reports exploration and corporate developments for a Canadian rare earth and rare metals project portfolio. The company's recurring updates center on its 100% owned Hecla-Kilmer Rare Earth and Critical Minerals Project in northern Ontario, including drill assays, sampling results, mineralogical studies, TREO, gallium, niobium, tantalum and phosphate values, and work tied to resource-definition activity.
News also covers Neotech's broader project base, including the TREO and Foothills projects in British Columbia, as well as exploration funding, technical disclosures prepared under National Instrument 43-101, advisory relationships, warrant exercises and other capital or property-related matters.
Neotech Metals (NTMFF) has engaged DRA Global to prepare the first mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment for Hecla-Kilmer. The rare earth project in Ontario is 100% owned by Neotech. The resource estimate will incorporate 2024 and 2025 drilling results and historical data under Canadian NI 43-101 reporting standards.
DRA will first assess gaps in existing data to identify work needed for the economic assessment. Neotech expects that assessment to evaluate a conceptual mine plan, processing, infrastructure, costs and project economics, incorporating ongoing metallurgical results from Dorfner Anzaplan supported by the Ontario Critical Minerals Innovation Fund. Potential coproducts remain under evaluation.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) has begun its inaugural, fully funded drill and exploration program at the Torrance Project in Ontario, Canada. The company plans up to 2,000 metres of diamond drilling to test geophysical targets refined into eight priority areas following data compilation, interpretation and permitting completed earlier in 2026. Additional work includes basal till sampling, outcrop mapping and sampling, and geochemical soil sampling. Drill core will be logged, cut and sent to accredited labs for multi-element analysis, with results used to evaluate the geological setting and mineral potential at Torrance, located about 70 km south of Neotech’s 100%-owned Hecla-Kilmer rare earth and phosphate project.
Neotech Metals (CSE: NTMC, OTCQB: NTMFF) has launched a comprehensive metallurgical process development program with Dorfner ANZAPLAN for its Hecla-Kilmer rare earth project in Ontario, partially funded by Ontario’s Critical Mineral Innovation Fund. The work aims to design a preliminary processing flowsheet and assess recoveries for apatite-hosted rare earth mineralization, niobium, gallium and purified phosphoric acid (PPA).
The program builds on 2025 testwork that achieved about 75% recovery of total rare earth oxides and 89% phosphate recovery under relatively mild leaching conditions. ANZAPLAN’s bench-scale program, using 2025 drill rejects, includes mineral processing optimization, production of ~60 kg of REE-bearing concentrate for hydrometallurgical testing, and detailed leach and impurity removal studies, while tracking niobium, tantalum and gallium across process streams. A final report with recoveries, reagent consumption and recommendations, potentially including piloting, is expected at completion.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB:NTMFF) has been approved for a $500,000 non-dilutive CMIF grant from Ontario’s Critical Minerals Innovation Fund. The award, the maximum per project, will reimburse 50% of up to $1,000,000 in qualified metallurgical, hydrometallurgical and processing test work at the Hecla-Kilmer rare earth, niobium and phosphate project.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB:NTMFF) announced a non-brokered private placement of up to 2,142,857 non-flow-through units at $0.28 and 5,128,205 flow-through units at $0.39, for gross proceeds of about $2.6 million.
Each unit includes one share and half a warrant at $0.45 for 36 months, with an acceleration clause above $0.60. Proceeds fund mineral property expenditures and working capital.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) reported final 2025 drill assays from the Hecla-Kilmer rare earth project in Ontario. Highlights include 17.4 m grading 0.95% TREO within 100.8 m at 0.43% TREO in hole HK25-044, plus broad near-surface mineralized intervals to 175.5 m. Extensive QA/QC and independent verification support data reliability.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) reported 2025 drill assays from its 100%-owned Hecla-Kilmer rare earth project, confirming a 600-metre northern extension of Pike Zone mineralization and a strike length approaching 1,600 metres.
Highlights include long TREO-, phosphate- and niobium-bearing intervals and robust QA/QC. A Maiden Resource Estimate is targeted for 2026.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) agreed to acquire 100% of the Torrance Project from Kenorland, adding 580 claims (~12,270 hectares) about 70 km from Neotech's Hecla-Kilmer project in northern Ontario. The property is prospective for Nb‑Ta‑REE mineralization and benefits from year‑round road access and nearby power.
Consideration: 1,000,000 shares, a 2,000 m drilling commitment within three years, and an existing 2.0% NSR with a buyback option of 1% for $5,000,000.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) reported assays from its 2025 drill program at the 100% owned Hecla-Kilmer project, highlighting a 408.4m interval grading 0.53% TREO, 4.2% P2O5, 21.5 g/t Ga2O3 and 0.13% Nb2O5. Results will feed a Maiden Resource Estimate expected in 2026.
Reported intervals are downhole core lengths; true thickness is currently unknown. QA/QC used Actlabs and standard CRM/blanks with third-party verification.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) reported first assay results from its 2025 drill campaign at the 100% owned Hecla-Kilmer rare earth project in Ontario.
Highlights include a 214.9 m intercept grading 0.67% TREO with 21.1 g/t Ga and 21.9 g/t Ta. A Maiden Resource Estimate is expected in 2026.
