NEOTECH METALS SAMPLES 3.26% TREO AT SURFACE, BEGINS SUMMER EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT ITS BRITISH COLUMBIA TREO PROJECT
Neotech Metals Corp. has received assay results from its 100 per cent wholly owned TREO project in British Columbia, Canada, and has commenced a follow-up exploration program to expand the known zones of mineralization.
Last week, the company concluded its regional program at the Foothills project, collecting over 695 samples. These samples included biogeochemical, soil, stream and rock composites. In addition, magnetic susceptibility measurements and ground-based radiometric surveys were undertaken. Samples have been submitted to various labs, and assays are pending.
TREO project highlights
Sample 69233, a grab sample taken from outcrop during last year's regional sampling program, is described as "finely bedded limestone with secondary biotite and calcite veins and disseminated iron-oxide and chlorite alteration," and returned 3.26 per cent TREO. Additional samples within the area also returned anomalous values, providing valuable insight and strong direction for this summer's program.
Soil sample coverage is continuing to verify and expand known zones of elevated rare earth element values by covering existing historical samples and targeting strong magnetic and radiometric trends from a 2010 survey. Additionally, outcrop mapping and prospecting are also under way to explore for further mineralized zones.
TREO is situated 85 kilometres northeast of Prince George, B.C. The property is road accessible and has railway infrastructure just 25 km north of the main discovery, along with power approximately 55 km to the west by road.
Methodology and quality assurance/quality control
The analytical work reported herein (sample preparation and analysis) was performed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. at its Kamloops, B.C., facilities. Actlabs is an ISO-IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited geoanalytical laboratory independent of Neotech Metals and the qualified person. Samples were dried to 60 degrees Celsius, sieved to keep particles smaller than minus-177 micrometres and analyzed using multielement fusion ICP-MS via lithium-borate fusion to determine individual REE content (Actlabs' 4LITHO analysis code). Neotech follows industry-standard procedures for the work carried out on the TREO project, with a quality assurance/quality control program. Samples, including blanks, duplicates and certified reference material, were systematically inserted both by the company and Actlabs for analysis. Neotech detected no significant QA/QC issues during the data review.
