Neotech Metals Corp. (CSE: NTMC) (OTC Pink: NTMFF) (FSE: V690), a burgeoning mineral exploration company, is excited to announce a significant advancement in its operations: the receipt of its exploration permit for the Hecla-Kilmer property, located in Northern Ontario. With this permit in hand, the Company has commenced its 5,000-meter drilling campaign, targeting both peripheral zones to the northeast and southeast, as well as extensional drilling around the Pike Zone. This drilling effort aims to establish a maiden resource estimate for the property, which is anticipated to further enhance Neotech’s portfolio of valuable mineral resources.

 The Hecla-Kilmer property, recently acquired in July 2024, is situated approximately 20 kilometers from the Otter Rapids hydroelectric power generation station and the active Ontario Northway railway.

As part of his compensation, Neotech has granted Mr. Daley 50,000 stock options, exercisable at a price of $0.30 for a three-year term, further aligning his interests with those of the Company and its shareholders.

Neotech Metals remains committed to responsible exploration and development practices.
