E-Tech Resources Rebrands as ReeXploration
Inc., Reflecting Renewed Focus on
Responsible Discovery and Critical Mineral
Growth in Namibia
Contributing to the world's shift toward secure, sustainable
critical mineral supply.
Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 27, 2025) - E-Tech Resources Inc. (TSXV: REE) (FSE:
K2I) ("ReeXploration" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has changed its name to
ReeXploration Inc., marking a strategic realignment toward discovery-led growth, responsible
exploration, and positioning within the world's accelerating demand for secure and sustainable critical
minerals supply.
The rebranding reflects the Company's focus on creating value through critical mineral discovery and
early-stage resource development. The timing aligns with an intensifying global spotlight on critical
minerals, with recent export restrictions and geopolitical tensions accelerating the need to diversify
supply chains away from China
1
. This has created a generational opportunity for credible, Western-
aligned projects. ReeXploration is well positioned within this shift, advancing the Eureka Rare Earth
Element ("REE") project in Namibia - one of Africa's most stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions.
"This is a natural evolution built on the work our team has done on the Eureka REE project in Namibia
and represents more than a name change
-
it marks a clear step forward towards building a value-
creation company,"
said Christopher Drysdale, interim CEO of ReeXploration Inc.
"Namibia provides
the right environment, a stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction where credible exploration can contribute
meaningfully to the next generation of critical mineral supply. Our focus is on creating value where
discovery, technical excellence, and responsibility intersect, and ReeXploration reflects exactly that,
with a renewed focus on disciplined exploration and the technical foundation needed to help build
secure, sustainable critical minerals supply chains."
Anchoring the Company's strategy is the Eureka REE Project, located in Namibia's Erongo Mining
District. A metallurgy-first approach differentiates ReeXploration from peers by proving processability
before scale, reducing technical uncertainty and underpinning future resource growth in proven viability.
Highlights of the project include:
Proven Metallurgy:
Bench-scale testing has produced a ~60% TREO concentrate from
monazite-hosting carbonatite, confirming clean, Western-standard processability — a rare
milestone for a project at this stage.
Resource Foundation:
A maiden NI 43-101 inferred resource of 310,000 tonnes @ 4.8% TREO
(0.7% Nd+Pr).
District-Scale Resource Growth Potential:
Covering approximately 13 by 6 km, the Eureka
Dome hosts a district-scale REE mineral system evidenced by exploration results to date. Multiple
undrilled geochemical and geophysical anomalies and REE mineralization intersected in 90% of
trenches from the 2024 trenching program suggests strong potential for resource growth.
Strategic Location:
Just 2 km from the Trans-Kalahari Highway, with road, power, and port
access through Walvis Bay — lowering development risk and cost.
Credible Leadership:
Advice from non-executive director, Professor Frances Wall, a globally
recognized expert in critical minerals, and executed by a 100% Namibian-based team with well-
established community relationships.
ReeXploration's commitment to responsible development has been embedded from the start. Led by a
Namibian-based technical team, our environmental compliance and community engagement programs
are locally managed, ensuring regular reporting and open dialogue with all stakeholders. The Company
operates under valid Environmental Clearances, with practices aligned to Namibia's national
development goals. Eureka's low-impurity, low-radioactivity monazite mineralogy reduces environmental
hurdles, while the Company's ESG-driven philosophy ensures progress creating tangible benefits both
locally and globally.
With proven metallurgy, credible leadership, and strong jurisdictional support, ReeXploration is
positioned to play a meaningful role in the emerging, independent supply chains that will define the next
phase of the critical minerals economy.
The name change was previously approved at the Company's Special Meeting of shareholders held on
September 18, 2025. The Company's stock symbol will remain "REE". The name change has been
approved by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Effective at the market open on October 28, 2025, the Company will trade under the new name.
