NEOTECH METALS CORP. APPOINTS DGWA AS EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT AND FINANCIAL MARKETS ADVISOR

Neotech Metals Corp. has appointed DGWA GmbH, a Frankfurt-based corporate advisory and capital markets firm, as its European government consulting and financial markets adviser. DGWA will assist the company on strategic engagement with government agencies and industry stakeholders as Neotech advances its critical minerals development strategy and strengthens relationships within the global rare earth supply chain.

Reagan Glazier, chief executive officer of Neotech, said in comment: "Demand for rare earth elements continues to accelerate across advanced technologies, clean energy systems and defence applications, placing increasing importance on developing secure and reliable supply chains in allied jurisdictions. Europe, and Germany in particular, has taken a leading role in recognizing the strategic importance of critical minerals. By partnering with DGWA, we are strengthening our ability to engage with industry leaders and government stakeholders across the region. At the same time, we are seeing strong support from Canadian governments for the development of domestic critical mineral supply. Together, growing international demand and increasing government support position Neotech to play an important role in helping establish a secure North American supply of rare earth elements."

Stefan Muller, chief executive officer of DGWA, added: "Neotech is uniquely positioned to support the recently signed Canada-Germany joint declaration of intent, offering a secure, friend-shored source of heavy and light rare earth elements that directly addresses Germany's mandate to decouple its industrial supply chains from Chinese dominance. Neotech's low-temperature, low-reagent leaching process significantly reduces both the carbon footprint and the operating costs compared to traditional rare earth processing. With a strategic listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and being located just 20 kilometres from existing Ontario hydroelectric and rail infrastructure, Neotech stands as a primary candidate for the joint public-private financing mechanisms designed to accelerate the European energy transition."

Under the DGWA agreement, the company will pay DGWA 5,000 euros per month for a 12-month term commencing immediately for total consideration of 60,000 euros. The company will also issue 300,000 stock options to DGWA for a term of three years to vest as to one-third each month starting a month from the grant date, the stock options will be priced at the close of market price on the date of the grant. In addition to this base consideration, the company will pay DGWA 8 per cent on any gross receipts from equity raised from a private placement, capital raise or other such equity allocation to investors. It will also pay DGWA 7 per cent, comprising 3.5 per cent in cash and 3.5 per cent in warrants, on any gross receipts from grants and subsidies, debt financings, offtake agreements or royalties, capped at one million euros per transaction. Aside from this agreement, the company does not have any relationship with DGWA. DGWA will provide the following services:

• Arrange site visits to the project with key investors and stakeholders;
• Organize European road shows with retail, brokers, family offices and institutional investors;
• Assist with grant funding applications to access non-dilutive financing;
• Introduce the company to European newsletter writers;
• Introduce the company to key German and European defence sector companies;
• Arrange participation and representation in European Union raw materials conferences;
• Translation of important presentation materials for European investors into the German language, to manage social media accounts;
• Manage the translation and distribution of press releases on behalf of the company;
• Position the company in the German-speaking media environment and to assist the company to present to German-speaking retail and institutional investors, potential offtake partners, and government.
