Neotech Metals Corp Completes Hecla-Kilmer Resource Definition Drill Campaign
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) completed its 2025 resource definition drill campaign at the 100%‑owned Hecla‑Kilmer rare earth project in Ontario.
The program totaled approximately 8,000 metres of new core now being logged, sampled and shipped to labs, with assay results expected in the coming weeks. Neotech also submitted nearly 2,000 metres of historical core for full REE re‑analysis. Results will be incorporated into a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate planned for 2026.
Parallel work includes baseline environmental water sampling and ongoing Indigenous engagement to support permitting and ESG integration. A drill plan graphic is available online and management expects a steady stream of assays and technical updates to reduce technical risk ahead of the maiden resource.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) ha completato la campagna di definizione delle risorse del 2025 nel progetto di terre rare Hecla‑Kilmer interamente di proprietà in Ontario.
Il programma ha totalizzato circa 8.000 metri di nucleo nuovo che ora viene registrato, campionato e spedito ai laboratori, con i risultati dei test attesi nelle prossime settimane. Neotech ha anche inviato quasi 2.000 metri di nucleo storico per una rianalisi completa delle REE. I risultati saranno incorporati in una maiden Mineral Resource Estimate prevista per il 2026.
Altri lavori includono campionamento ambientale di base delle acque e un coinvolgimento continuo delle popolazioni autoctone per supportare i permessi e l'integrazione ESG. Una grafica del piano di trivellazione è disponibile online e la direzione si aspetta un flusso costante di assaggi e aggiornamenti tecnici per ridurre il rischio tecnico prima della risorsa iniziale.

프로그램은 약 8,000미터의 신규 코어를 총괄하고 있으며 현재 로깅, 샘플링 및 실험실로의 선적이 진행 중이며, 분석 결과는 향후 몇 주 안에 나올 예정입니다. 또한 2,000미터의 과거 코어를 거의 전부 재분석용으로 제출했습니다. 결과는 2026년 예정된 초안 광물자원 추정치에 반영될 예정입니다.
병행 작업으로는 기초 수질 환경 샘플링과 허가 및 ESG 통합을 지원하기 위한 원주민( Indigenous) 참여가 포함됩니다. 온라인에서 시추 계획 그래픽을 확인할 수 있으며 경영진은 기술 위험을 줄이기 위해 연속적인 분석 및 기술 업데이트를 기대합니다.
Neotech Metals (OTCQB: NTMFF) a achevé sa campagne de définition des ressources 2025 sur le projet de terres rares Hecla‑Kilmer, détenu à 100% et situé en Ontario.
Le programme a totalisé environ 8 000 mètres de cœur nouveau qui est en cours d’enregistrement, d’échantillonnage et d’expédition vers les laboratoires, les résultats des essais étant attendus dans les prochaines semaines. Neotech a également soumis près de 2 000 mètres de carottes historiques pour une réanalyse complète des REE. Les résultats seront intégrés dans une maiden Mineral Resource Estimate prévue pour 2026.
Des travaux parallèles comprennent des prélèvements environnementaux de base des eaux et un engagement continu des populations autochtones afin de soutenir les autorisations et l’intégration ESG. Une affiche du plan de forage est disponible en ligne et la direction s’attend à un flux constant de résultats d’essais et de mises à jour techniques pour réduire le risque technique avant la ressource initiale.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 24, 2025) - Neotech Metals Corp. (CSE: NTMC) (OTCQB: NTMFF) (FSE: V690) ("Neotech" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its 2025 resource definition and delineation drill campaign at the Company's
2025 Drill Campaign
The program totaled approximately 8,000 meters of new drilling, with core currently being logged, sampled, and processed on site. Samples are regularly shipped to the laboratory, and assay results are expected in the coming weeks.
In parallel, Neotech has also submitted nearly 2,000 meters of historical drill core from earlier campaigns for comprehensive rare earth element ("REE") analysis-either as first-time assays or re-assays using the full REE suite. These results will further enhance the geological dataset and will be incorporated into the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate planned for 2026.
The 2025 drill campaign was designed to infill, expand, and refine the boundaries of REE mineralization at Hecla-Kilmer, guided by updated 3D geological and geophysical models. The objective was to test and confirm continuity of mineralization across key zones and to advance the Project toward resource definition.

Indigenous Engagement and ESG Integration
In addition to the drill campaign, Neotech has commenced its baseline environmental water sampling program, which will establish the foundational data required to support ongoing environmental understanding and future permitting activities.
Neotech continues to advance its engagement with Indigenous Nations through regular dialogue, on-site participation, and collaborative planning. The Company's ESG approach prioritizes responsible project design, the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge, and early alignment with the Ontario Environmental Assessment process. This work is being integrated into upcoming exploration programs to ensure that engineering, land-use planning, and future permitting pathways proceed in a coordinated and transparent manner.
The rapid advancement of Hecla-Kilmer continues to validate our confidence in the uniqueness and scalability of this geological system," said Reagan Glazier, CEO of Neotech Metals. "The steady stream of assays and technical updates expected over the coming months will support a disciplined path toward our maiden resource estimate, while meaningfully reducing technical risk and enhancing the long-term strategic value of the project.
