New Earth plans sampling program at SL project

Mr. Lawrence Hay reports NEW EARTH RESOURCES ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR LAKE BOTTOM SEDIMENT SAMPLING SURVEY ON ITS SL RARE EARTH ELEMENTS PROJECT New Earth Resources Corp. has commenced planning for a lake bottom sediment sampling program for the company's SL project, a property prospective for rare-earth elements (REE) in the Strange Lake area of Quebec, Canada. This initiative represents an initial evaluation of the project's REE-related potential, with a focus on generating regional data layers that may inform future targeting considerations. Since about 85 per cent of the project is covered by a lake, a regional lake bottom sediment sampling program will be conducted to identify REE-related potential subsurface mineral occurrences by analyzing the chemical dispersion within the secondary environment (lake catchment basins). The survey aims to define, outline and prioritize geochemical REE-related anomalies for follow-up exploration. Given the glaciated terrain of the region, this method offers a superior approach to identifying most correlated features with target potentials, efficiently narrowing the company's search area to the most prospective geological settings. Sampling will focus on both shallow and deep basin sediments through a systematic grid pattern designed with a nominal density of 10 to 15 samples per square kilometre, which is subject to adjustment based on specific targets or lake availability. This campaign is planned to be implemented in late winter-early spring (February to April) as an optimized strategy for regional geochemical exploration, through leveraging ice cover for safe and cost-effective access. This timing minimizes environmental disturbance and ensures high-quality sampling of sediments. The proposed lake bottom sediment sampling program will provide a rapid, cost-effective and comprehensive regional geochemical assessment, allowing the company to accurately delineate high-potential REE-related targets in the property, optimizing potential subsequent exploration expenditures. "The commencement of this lake-bottom sediment sampling initiative represents an initial step in applying advanced exploration techniques to better understand the project's geology," said Lawrence Hay, chief executive officer of New Earth Resources. "Analyzing basin-level geochemistry will help us generate detailed regional data to guide future targeting considerations." He added, "This approach provides a practical method for identifying REE-related geochemical patterns across underexplored areas." The company remains committed to responsible exploration practices, adhering to all regulatory requirements and engaging with local stakeholders in Quebec. The project The SL project consists of 23 claims covering approximately 1,102 hectares, over which the company holds an option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest. Situated in the southeastern Churchill province, the project is underlain dominantly by alkaline to calc-alkaline rocks, a geological setting renowned for REE endowments, as exemplified by the nearby Strange Lake REE district in northeast Quebec, bordering Newfoundland and Labrador. The project's lithological composition -- primarily granite, mangerite and quartz monzonite -- positions it as a promising host for REE mineralization. Its proximity (just a few kilometres) and geological correlation to the established Strange Lake district underscore the SL project's potential for significant REE deposit discoveries.

New Earth Resources is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company acquiring and developing advanced and early stage exploration projects. Its flagship project is its 100-per-cent-owned, past-producing Lucky Boy uranium property located in Gila county, Arizona, United States. Consisting of 14 Lode claims, and spanning approximately 273 acres, the Lucky Boy project covers a small open pit and underground workings that produced uranium in the 1950s, and again in the 1970s. In addition to Lucky Boy, included in the company's uranium portfolio are three claims located in Saskatchewan, Canada, covering 365 hectares. The company also has the option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in 23 claims covering approximately 1,102 hectares in the Strange Lake area of Quebec, Canada, known as the SL project, which is prospective for rare-earth elements. In addition, the company has the option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Red Wine rare-earth project, comprising two non-contiguous mineral claims located in Labrador, Canada, covering approximately 1,575 hectares.
