Neotech Metals Corp. announced the start of its summer field program on its 100% wholly-owned Foothills project in British Columbia, Canada. Ground-based geophysics, rock and stream sediment sampling, geochemical soil, and biogeochemical sampling focusing on the anomalous British Columbia Geological Survey ("BCGS") stream-sediment samples will be used to aid in targeting any potential discoveries.

Using this methodology has led to significant discoveries in the past (e.g., Brummer et al. 1987). Teamed up with Anomalous Exploration Ltd, Neotech employees, and contractors will focus on samples to be taken on a regional scale and sent into labs for assay to prepare for a mapping and prospecting program planned for later this year.

The ongoing BCGS survey, along with recent literature, ranks the region as highly prospective due to the elevated concentrations of rare-earth elements scoring in the 98th percentile across the survey, conducted across the entire province.
