Neotech Metals Engages Dahrouge for Targeting and Modelling at Hecla-Kilmer

Neotech Metals Corp. (CSE: NTMC) (OTCQB: NTMFF) (FSE: V690) has taken a significant step in advancing its Hecla-Kilmer (H/K) Niobium and Rare Earth Element (REE) project by engaging Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. (Dahrouge) for geological modelling, targeting, and database review. The agreement, signed on February 4, 2025, is projected to cost $51,000 and will help Neotech Metals optimize its exploration strategy at the H/K project.

Dahrouge, a renowned firm specializing in REEs, will evaluate the geochemical, structural, and lithological boundaries that may contain Niobium and REE mineralization observed at H/K. Their expertise in resource estimation and economic assessments will be invaluable in planning future drill campaigns to extend and delineate the REE mineralized zone. By working with Dahrouge, Neotech Metals aims to realize the identified potential for the unique REE apatite-hosted deposit at H/K.

The H/K project is an early-stage exploration project supported by world-class infrastructure, situated just 25km from the Otter Rapids hydroelectric power generating station, along with active rail and highways. The project is characterized by its carbonatite and syenite intrusive system, which hosts REEs, niobium, tantalum, and phosphates. The REEs are primarily found in volcanic-derived apatites and pyrochlore, with an abundance of permanent-magnet rare earth oxides including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium.



Preliminary findings from the 2024 exploration program are still being assessed and finalized, which will be used to develop additional studies with Dahrouge. The findings from the 2024 H/K program will be confirmed with Dahrouge in Q1 of 2025, which will then determine subsequent programs at H/K. Additional work is expected to be conducted in the summer 2025 exploration season to further delineate the REE mineralized zone.

Neotech Metals' CEO, Reagan Glazier, expressed his enthusiasm for working with Dahrouge, stating, "We're eager to further develop and understand H/K, and believe Dahrouge's insight and perspective will be invaluable." The engagement of Dahrouge Geological Consulting is a strategic move by Neotech Metals to enhance its exploration strategy at the Hecla-Kilmer project, ultimately increasing the likelihood of discovering high-grade REE deposits.

In conclusion, Neotech Metals' engagement of Dahrouge Geological Consulting for targeting and modelling at the Hecla-Kilmer project is a crucial step in advancing the project's exploration strategy. By leveraging Dahrouge's expertise in REEs, Neotech Metals aims to optimize its exploration efforts and increase the likelihood of discovering high-grade REE deposits at the H/K project. The project's proximity to key infrastructure and its unique geological characteristics make it an attractive target for REE and niobium exploration, further enhancing its potential for success.
