On November 25, 2024, Neotech Metals Corp. has released the assay results from the 2024 field reconnaissance program at the TREO project. Out of the 113 rock samples collected, the assay results saw a peak value of 28.97 per cent TREO (total rare-earth oxides) with 17 samples that assayed above 1.0 per cent TREO. Additionally, numerous assays from the same sample set exhibited anomalous niobium values, with a peak of 2.91 per cent Nb2O5 (niobium pentoxide) (and 20 samples exceeding 0.15 per cent Nb2O5). All samples were sourced from bedrock/outcrop exposures within mapped carbonatites featuring iron-oxide alteration, altered phyllites and syenites. The grades of TREO and niobium were found to correlate with varying degrees of alteration. Plans to expand on the results include off-season modelling, including 3-D projections to project and define drill targets, as well as planning additional reconnaissance work programs for the next season to both broaden and define targets. “The consistent high-grade, at-surface results extending over four kilometres from Wicheeda Lake provide excellent definition and strong encouragement for the potential of broad zones of mineralization,” commented chief executive officer Reagan Glazier. “Our team is working diligently to advance the TREO project, enhancing our understanding of the region and ensuring the best possible outcomes for the upcoming drill program.” Management, Directors and Advisors Reagan Glazier, Chief Executive Officer & Director Mr. Glazier is a mineral exploration executive with over 15 years of gold, copper, base metal, and rare-earth exploration experience in North and South America.
