14.10.2025  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, October 14, 2025 - Nexcel Metals Corp. (CSE: NEXX) (OTCQB: NXXCF) (FSE: 2OH) ("Nexcel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce summer 2025 sampling confirms significant light rare earth element (LREE) enrichment, with up to 0.169% La, 0.323% Ce and 0.1565% Nd at the Lac Ducharme REE Project, located in Manicouagan, Quebec.

Hugh Rogers, CEO of Nexcel, states, "The results from this program at Lac Ducharme are very encouraging and demonstrate the project's potential, especially for these REE elements that are critical to emerging technologies and clean energy applications. We look forward to advancing Lac Ducharme with further exploration."

This program consisted of the collection of 107 rock samples (backpack drill hole, channel and grab) across prospective pegmatites, granites and gneisses. The field crew completed a total of 18 backpack drill holes, with total production of 16.61m, and 30 channels were cut over 43.15m. Assays indicate notable enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREE's).

This program targeted zones identified through prior work; a 50.2-line-km ground magnetic survey, a 2022 radiometric survey, and prospecting programs in 2021 and 2024, building on those results. Priority targets now developed include the Lucia and 13-TC showings, as well as the recently defined EFU Showing.

Technical Information

Samples were collected in accordance with industry best practices. An RS-120 Scintillometer was used to detect radiometric anomalies. Channel samples were cut from bedrock using a diamond saw and then extracted from bedrock using a hammer and chisel. Backpack Drill samples were extracted from bedrock using a Shaw Backpack Drill. Grab samples were either extracted from bedrock using GeoTul hammers or by hammer and chisel. Sample material was then placed into clear plastic bags along with a unique sample tag identifier, the bags were sealed in the field. All sample data was recorded in the field and location data recorded using a handheld GPS. Assay tag numbers were also written on the outside of the bags.

Samples were securely delivered to ALS Geochemistry in Sudbury, Ontario for preparation and subsequently sent to ALS Geochemistry in Vancouver, BC for ME-MS71L Super Trace REE + Refractory mineral extracted using bifluoride decomposition with ICP-MS finish. ALS conducted an internal QA/QC regimen alongside the sample assays. ALS facilities conform to the requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025 Standard and regularly take part in proficiency testing.
