[{"type":"text","content":"Verde AgriTech Drilling Confirms From‑Surface, High‑Grade, Clay hosted Rare Earth Mineralization, Open for Expansion in Minas Gerais, Brazil\n\n\n\n\n All initial drill holes intersect continuous rare earth mineralization in weathered clays from surface and were still in mineralization at end of hole\n \n\n Best intercept: 14.2 metres from surface averaging 6,858 ppm TREO and 1,673 ppm MREO, including 6.0 metres at 8,013 ppm TREO and 1,941 ppm MREO in hole MAV_AD 002\n \n\n High dysprosium content, with Dy₂O₃ up to 86 ppm in the best drill intercepts, strengthening the Project’s magnet rare earth profile\n \n\n Drill results confirm depth continuity of high‑grade mineralization below PT‑34 trench and materially increase confidence in expanding the broader mineralized footprint\n \n\n 200‑hole drill program underway to support a maiden NI 43‑101 mineral resource estimate targeted for Q1 2026\n \n\n\n\n\n BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --\n \n Verde AgriTech Ltd.\n \n (TSX: NPK | OTCQX: VNPKF) (\"Verde” or the “Company”) is pleased to report assay results from the first three drill holes of its ongoing resource definition program at the Minas Americas Global Alliance rare earths project (the “Project”) in Minas Gerais, Brazil.\n \n\n All three holes intersected continuous, clay‑hosted rare earth mineralization from surface, confirming the presence of high‑grade mineralized horizons and supporting the potential for significant expansion of the mineralized footprint (see news release dated October 21, 2025).\n \n\n The current drill campaign, utilizing three rigs, commenced in October 2025 and is designed to test near‑surface clay‑hosted rare earth oxide (“REO”) mineralization. Key objectives are to:\n \n\n\n Extend mineralized zones identified in surface trenching through systematic step‑out and infill drilling around trench samples PT‑34, PT‑36, PT‑42 and other high‑priority surface anomalies;\n \n\n Test additional targets along interpreted mineralized trends; and\n \n\n Provide sufficient drill density in priority zones to support an initial NI 43‑101 mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) targeted for Q1 2026.\n \n\n...
