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 100%-owned Hecla-Kilmer Rare Earth Project in Ontario, Canada in addition to the ongoing environmental, indigenous, and community relations programs.
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.
