Neotech Metals Commences Drilling at Its TREO Project in British Columbia
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) has initiated its inaugural exploration drilling program at the 100%-owned TREO Project in British Columbia's Wicheeda Rare Earth District. The program targets high-priority zones identified through previous sampling, which revealed impressive results of up to 28.97% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) and 2.91% Nb₂O₅ in bedrock grab samples.
The strategic drilling locations are designed to evaluate mineralized corridors within Neotech's tenures and their relationship to the nearby Wicheeda Rare Earth deposit being developed by Defense Metals. The program represents a significant step in exploring this strategically important rare earth district.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) ha avviato il suo primo programma di perforazione esplorativa presso il progetto TREO di proprietà al 100% nel distretto delle terre rare di Wicheeda, nella Columbia Britannica. Il programma si concentra su zone ad alta priorità individuate tramite campionamenti precedenti, che hanno mostrato risultati impressionanti fino al 28,97% di ossidi totali di terre rare (TREO) e al 2,91% di Nb₂O₅ in campioni di roccia di base.
Le localizzazioni strategiche delle perforazioni sono pensate per valutare i corridoi mineralizzati all’interno delle concessioni di Neotech e la loro correlazione con il vicino deposito di terre rare di Wicheeda, attualmente sviluppato da Defense Metals. Questo programma rappresenta un passo importante nell’esplorazione di questo distretto di terre rare di rilevanza strategica.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) ha iniciado su primer programa de perforación exploratoria en el Proyecto TREO, de propiedad 100%, ubicado en el distrito de tierras raras de Wicheeda, en Columbia Británica. El programa se enfoca en zonas prioritarias identificadas mediante muestreos previos, que revelaron resultados impresionantes de hasta 28,97% de óxidos totales de tierras raras (TREO) y 2,91% de Nb₂O₅ en muestras de roca de lecho.
Las ubicaciones estratégicas de perforación están diseñadas para evaluar los corredores mineralizados dentro de las concesiones de Neotech y su relación con el cercano depósito de tierras raras de Wicheeda, que está siendo desarrollado por Defense Metals. Este programa representa un paso importante en la exploración de este distrito de tierras raras de gran importancia estratégica.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF)는 브리티시컬럼비아주 위치다 희토류 지구에 위치한 100% 소유 TREO 프로젝트에서 첫 탐사 시추 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 이 프로그램은 이전 샘플링을 통해 확인된 우선순위가 높은 구역을 대상으로 하며, 암반 채취 샘플에서 총 희토류 산화물(TREO) 28.97%와 2.91% Nb₂O₅라는 인상적인 결과를 보여주었습니다.
전략적 시추 위치는 Neotech의 광산권 내 광화대와 Defense Metals가 개발 중인 인근 위치다 희토류 매장지와의 관계를 평가하기 위해 설계되었습니다. 이 프로그램은 전략적으로 중요한 이 희토류 지구 탐사의 중요한 진전입니다.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) a lancé son premier programme de forage d'exploration sur le projet TREO détenu à 100% dans le district des terres rares de Wicheeda, en Colombie-Britannique. Le programme cible des zones prioritaires identifiées lors d'échantillonnages précédents, qui ont révélé des résultats impressionnants allant jusqu'à 28,97% d'oxydes totaux de terres rares (TREO) et 2,91% de Nb₂O₅ dans des échantillons de roche mère.
Les emplacements stratégiques des forages sont conçus pour évaluer les corridors minéralisés au sein des concessions de Neotech et leur relation avec le dépôt voisin de terres rares de Wicheeda, en cours de développement par Defense Metals. Ce programme représente une étape importante dans l'exploration de ce district de terres rares d'importance stratégique.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) hat sein erstes Explorationsbohrprogramm auf dem 100% im Besitz befindlichen TREO-Projekt im Wicheeda Seltene-Erden-Gebiet in British Columbia gestartet. Das Programm zielt auf hochprioritäre Zonen ab, die durch frühere Probenahmen identifiziert wurden und beeindruckende Ergebnisse von bis zu 28,97% Gesamt-Seltene-Erden-Oxide (TREO) und 2,91% Nb₂O₅ in Gesteinsproben zeigten.
Die strategischen Bohrstandorte sind darauf ausgelegt, mineralisierte Korridore innerhalb der Lizenzen von Neotech und deren Beziehung zum nahegelegenen Wicheeda-Seltene-Erden-Lager, das von Defense Metals entwickelt wird, zu bewerten. Das Programm stellt einen bedeutenden Schritt bei der Erkundung dieses strategisch wichtigen Seltene-Erden-Gebiets dar.
