Neotech Metals Corp. has commenced drilling and surface exploration at its Torrance Project in Ontario, Canada, targeting geophysical anomalies identified across the property.

The fully-funded program involves an up to 2,000-metre diamond drill campaign designed to test eight priority targets. Field teams are also conducting regional basal till sampling, outcrop mapping, and geochemical soil sampling across the ground.

Neotech acquired a 100% interest in the 12,270-hectare property from Kenorland Minerals Ltd. in April 2026. Following the acquisition, the site underwent data compilation, interpretation, and permitting ahead of the current program. The property is situated approximately 70 kilometres south of the company's Hecla-Kilmer project in northern Ontario and covers a ring-shaped magnetic feature spanning about 10 square kilometres.

Multi-element geochemical assay results from the drilling and surface work are pending.

“Ontario has been a welcoming and supportive jurisdiction for Neotech, and we are excited to begin testing the Torrance Project with the goal of making another significant discovery,” said Reagan Glazier, CEO of Neotech Metals. “Our objective is to build a portfolio of complementary critical-mineral assets in the region and establish a meaningful foothold in North American rare earth and phosphate supply chains. With Hecla-Kilmer advancing approximately 70 kilometres to the north, Torrance represents an exciting opportunity to expand our exploration footprint within the region.”

Assay results from the inaugural drill program will be used to evaluate the geological setting and mineral potential of the Torrance property.
