Neotech Metals Receives 200K Grant From
OJEP
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 30, 2026) - Neotech Metals Corp. (CSE: NTMC)
(OTCQB: NTMFF) (FSE: V690) (
"Neotech"
or
"the Company"
) is pleased to announce that it has
received approval under the Ontario Junior Exploration Program ("
OJEP
") for funding of up to
C$200,000, to be applied toward eligible 2025 exploration expenditures at it's 100% wholly-owned
Apatite-hosted Rare Earth and Niobium project located 15 kilometers from the Otter Rapids 180MW
hydroelectric power generation facility.
The OJEP grant, covering up to 50% of eligible mineral exploration expenditures (to a maximum of
C$400,000) incurred in Ontario during the 2025 field season, has enabled Neotech to expand its
exploration footprint to more distal targets on the property while meaningfully de-risking capital
deployment. This has enabled us to drill broad step-outs within the 9+ kilometer geophysical anomaly
representing the H/K Carbonatite and Syenite complexes.
Reagan Glazier, CEO said in quote, "
We sincerely appreciate the support of the Government of
Ontario through the Ontario Junior Exploration Program. This funding not only helps offset exploration
risk, but also reinforces the Province's commitment to fostering responsible discovery and
development of strategic rare earth assets that are critical to future economic growth and supply-chain
security.
"
"
Ontario is leading the charge to secure the minerals that will power our economy and strengthen our
sovereignty
," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. "
Through OJEP, we're backing
companies like Neotech Metals Corp. to advance promising projects here at home-unlocking
resources, creating jobs, and building a more self-reliant and secure Canadian economy
."
2025 Hecla-Kilmer Drill Campaign Update
Neotech Metals completed approximately 8,000 meters of drilling in 2025 at H/K, as well as re-logging
and re-assaying approximately 1,900 meters of core drilled by the previous owner, VR Resources Ltd.,
between 2020-2023 for the full rare earth suite and is to be included in the Maiden Resource Estimate
("
MRE
"), expected to come in 2026.
Assays are currently pending on all samples and will be released upon completion.
