Neotech Metals Corp. (NTMFF) has announced positive metallurgical test results from its Hecla-Kilmer rare earth project in Ontario. The tests, conducted by SGS-Lakefield, demonstrated exceptional leachability with 97-99% of rare earth elements (REEs) extracted into solution during a 6-hour digestion at 50°C.
Key achievements include:
- 75.0% Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) recovery
- 78.0% Niobium recovery via gravity separation
- 89.1% Phosphate recovery
- Successful leach test using 36% hydrochloric acid under moderate conditions
The results represent the first metallurgical campaign at Hecla-Kilmer, based on a single leach test. The company plans additional testing to optimize processing conditions and validate scalability. The apatite-hosted mineralization's high leachability under mild conditions positions Hecla-Kilmer as a potential candidate for near-term development in North America's critical mineral supply chain.
Neotech Metals Corp. (NTMFF) has announced significant results from its exploratory diamond drilling program at the Hecla-Kilmer Project in Northern Ontario. The program, completed in Fall 2024, consisted of 12 holes totaling 5,047 meters, focusing on Niobium and Rare Earth Element carbonatites.
The company reported results from two drill holes (HK24-033 and HK24-031) that targeted mineralized intervals based on historical gravity and magnetic survey data from VR Resources' 2020 exploration. The drilling program aimed to test for Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) and Niobium Oxide within the alkaline intrusive carbonatite complex.
CEO Reagan Glazier highlighted the significance of broad mineralization zones starting from bedrock surface, noting they provide clear targets for future drill programs. The system remains open in several directions, including at depth. The company is developing plans for an expansion/resource-definition drilling program and preliminary mineralogical-metallurgical test work for 2025.
Neotech Metals Corp. (NTMFF) has announced preliminary geochemical assay results from its exploratory diamond drilling program at the Hecla-Kilmer Project in Northern Ontario. The company completed 12 new drill holes in 2024, targeting three primary areas: Pike Zone (7 holes), Northeast Zone (3 holes), and South Rim Zone (2 holes).
The first reported drill hole, HK24-034, located approximately 300m south of the Pike Zone, has confirmed multiple mineralized intervals containing elevated levels of niobium and rare earth elements. The hole revealed significant mineralization of 1.06% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxide) over 86 meters from the bedrock surface.
The company is currently developing plans for an expansion/resource-definition drilling program and preliminary mineralogical-metallurgical test work. Sample analysis and data compilation for the remaining 11 drill holes is ongoing, with results to be reported in subsequent releases.
Neotech Metals Corp. (NTMFF) has engaged Dahrouge Geological Consulting for geological modelling, targeting, and database review at its Hecla-Kilmer (H/K) Niobium and Rare Earth Element project. The agreement, signed on February 4, 2025, comes with a projected cost of $51,000.
Dahrouge will evaluate geochemical, structural, and lithological boundaries for Niobium and REE mineralization at H/K, and assist in planning future drill campaigns to extend and delineate the REE mineralized zone. The firm specializes in REEs and has experience in resource estimation and economic assessments.
Preliminary findings from the 2024 exploration program are currently under assessment and will be confirmed with Dahrouge in Q1 2025. Additional work is planned for the summer 2025 exploration season.
Neotech Metals Corp. (CSE: NTMC) (OTCQB: NTMFF) has secured a mineral exploration permit from the BC Mines Office for its wholly-owned TREO Project, situated 80 kilometers northeast of Prince George, British Columbia. The permit allows for drilling operations at 10 pad locations, which were identified through previous exploration activities.
The company's 2024 field season yielded notable results, with bedrock samples showing grades of up to 28.97% TREO and 2.91% Nb₂O₅. The exploration work is scheduled to commence in summer 2025, focusing on high-grade, near-surface mineralization targets previously identified.
Neotech Metals Corp. (CSE: NTMC) (OTCQB: NTMFF) has announced significant assay results from its 2024 field reconnaissance program at the TREO Project in British Columbia. The program yielded impressive findings from 113 rock samples, with a peak value of 28.97% TREO and 17 samples exceeding 1.0% TREO. Notable niobium values were also discovered, reaching 2.91% Nb2O5 with 20 samples above 0.15% Nb2O5. All samples were collected from bedrock/outcrop exposures within mapped carbonatites. The company plans to conduct off-season modeling and additional reconnaissance work to define drill targets.
Neotech Metals Corp (CSE: NTMC, OTCQB: NTMFF) has completed its maiden drill program at the Hecla-Kilmer project, executing nearly 5,000 meters of drilling. The fully-funded program aimed to extend from previous significant intercepts, including hole HK24-013 with 361m of 1.0% TREO (20% PMREOs) from bedrock surface and hole HK24-008 with 120m of 0.5% TREO and 0.20% Nb2O5 in the Pike Zone. Additional testing was conducted in the South Rim zone. Core samples will be assessed and sent for assays, with a small crew remaining on-site to complete related activities.
Neotech Metals Corp (CSE: NTMC, OTC: NTMFF) announces three significant developments: approval for uplisting to the OTCQB market, completion of a CAD$1,351,450 LIFE financing, and the successful execution of over 3,600 meters of drilling at its flagship Hecla-Kilmer property. The OTCQB uplisting enhances U.S. investor access and market visibility. The completed LIFE financing will support the company's rare earth element exploration projects in Canada. The maiden drilling campaign at Hecla-Kilmer is expected to conclude this month, with core samples already sent for assay analysis.
