NEOTECH METALS CORP. APPROVED FOR $200,000 ONTARIO JUNIOR EXPLORATION PROGRAM GRANT

Neotech Metals Corp. has been approved by the Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP) to receive $200,000 to help fund exploration activities within the province of Ontario.

The OJEP grant, a provincial program aimed at incentivizing exploration in the critical-minerals sector, supports the discovery and development of mineral resources vital to the global green transition. These funds will be allocated to Neotech's next drilling campaign, targeting geophysical anomalies in proximity to the Pike and South Rim zones at Hecla-Kilmer.

"We greatly appreciate the support from the Province of Ontario as this investment not only helps position us as a key strategy in the critical minerals sector, but also unlocks new opportunities for the province as a whole," Reagan Glazier, chief executive officer, said. "By advancing our exploration and development efforts, we have the potential to contribute to building a new industry within Ontario, one that supports the green transition and strengthens the province's economic future. The government's backing demonstrates the high quality of Ontario as a mining jurisdiction, providing a stable and supportive environment for innovation and growth."
