Neotech Metals Discovers Rare Earth Mineralization at TREO Project

Neotech Metals Corp. has confirmed multiple mineralized intervals at its TREO Project located approximately 80 kilometers northeast of Prince George, British Columbia. The preliminary geochemical assay results from the company’s maiden diamond drilling program indicate promising findings in the Rare Earth Element (REE) carbonatites. This announcement was made on November 18, 2025, as part of a broader update that included new board appointments.

The TREO Project is situated near Wicheeda Lake in the Cariboo Land District, an area known for its geological potential. Neotech Metals has taken significant steps in its development, including the completion of four drill holes during 2025. These holes were designed to build on previous work conducted by Canadian International Minerals Ltd. in 2010 and were informed by recent fieldwork, including soil and rock sampling.

Justin Daley, a professional geologist with over 15 years of experience, has been appointed to the board, alongside Cameron McDonald. Both bring a wealth of expertise that Neotech hopes will further its exploration efforts. Daley is the CEO of Made in America Gold Corp. and previously served as the founding geologist for VR Resources Ltd. McDonald has extensive capital markets experience, having founded the Macam Group of Companies and held leadership roles in various public companies.

The company expressed gratitude to Robert Krause, who will transition to an advisory role after serving on the board. As part of the new appointments, each director will receive 250,000 stock options priced at $0.35, with immediate vesting over three years.

The drilling program in 2025 targeted intervals of Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) within the alkaline intrusive carbonatite complex at Wicheeda Lake. All four drillholes successfully intersected mixed carbonatites and dolomites within schists and phyllites, with visible rare earth mineralization detected. The total drilling length reached 991 meters, and core logging and sampling have now been completed.

Highlights from the drill program reveal that significant mineralization was observed, consistent across the drilled sections. The company plans to continue evaluating the property and will report any further findings in upcoming releases.

Quality assurance measures were rigorously applied throughout the drilling and sampling processes. Each drillhole was sampled at two-meter intervals, and the samples were sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Kamloops, British Columbia, for analysis. The laboratory follows strict quality control protocols and is accredited under ISO-IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 standards.

In addition to the TREO Project, Neotech Metals is also actively drilling at its Hecla-Kilmer project, utilizing two drill rigs full-time. The company has already completed over 6,000 meters of drilling in 2025, focusing on defining mineralized zones to establish a maiden resource estimate.

Following a previous announcement on October 31, 2025, Neotech disclosed additional finder’s fees, amounting to $59,755 in cash and 170,728 finder’s warrants.

Neotech Metals Corp. is committed to discovering and developing valuable mineral resources while maintaining a strong focus on environmental stewardship. The company’s diverse portfolio includes several Rare-Earth Element and Rare Metals projects, all of which are wholly owned.

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and has been reviewed and approved by Jared Galenzoski, VP of Exploration and a Qualified Person.
