Neotech Metals Commences Inaugural Drill Program at Torrance
Drilling has begun at the Torrance Project in Ontario, Canada, with a fully-funded, up to 2,000-metre diamond drill program testing geophysical targets, alongside regional basal till sampling, outcrop mapping and sampling, and geochemical soil sampling. Data compilation, interpretation and permitting since the project's acquisition from Kenorland Minerals Ltd. earlier in 2026 identified eight priority target areas, focused on a ring-shaped magnetic feature covering roughly 10 square kilometres. Torrance lies about 70 kilometres south of Neotech's Hecla-Kilmer project.
