Neotech completes 5,000m Maiden Drill Program at Hecla-Kilmer
By Kevin Vincent
Neotech Metals Corp. has successfully completed its maiden 5,000-metre drill program at the Hecla-Kilmer (H/K) project, marking a major milestone for its flagship property. The program targeted high-value mineralization zones, including the Pike Zone and South Rim, with samples now being processed for assays.
“This milestone at H/K represents significant progress for Neotech,” said Reagan Glazier, CEO. “I want to thank our contractors, local suppliers, communities, and First Nations partners for their vital support in ensuring a safe and successful drill program. We are optimistic about the upcoming assay results and next year’s work season.”
Drill Program Highlights
The fully funded campaign expanded exploration laterally from promising holes, including:
• HK24-013: 361 metres of 1.0% TREO (20% PMREOs) from bedrock surface.
• HK24-008: 120 metres of 0.5% TREO and 0.20% Nb₂O₅ in the Pike Zone.
The program also included peripheral targets and the South Rim zone, further broadening the scope of exploration across the property.
Strategic Location and Future Plans
Located 20 kilometres from the Otter Rapids hydroelectric station and Ontario Northway railway, Hecla-Kilmer benefits from excellent infrastructure. A small crew remains onsite to finalize project activities, while Neotech prepares for an active 2025 exploration season.
Broader Portfolio
In addition to Hecla-Kilmer, Neotech’s portfolio includes the TREO and Foothills projects in British Columbia. Both projects, along with H/K, are 100% wholly owned and represent Neotech’s commitment to developing critical and rare earth minerals in promising jurisdictions.
The company’s dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices underpins its exploration activities, setting the stage for future discoveries and long-term growth.
