New Earth Resources Discusses Integrated High-Resolution Airborne Geophysical Techniques for Targeted Rare Earth Element Exploration on its Red Wine Rare Earth Elements Project

Vancouver, British Columbia, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEW EARTH RESOURCES CORP. (CSE: EATH) (“New Earth” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce how integrated high-resolution airborne geophysical Magnetic+Radiometric data reveals priority zones for targeted rare earth element exploration at its Red Wine Rare Earth Elements (REE) project (the “Project” or the “Property”), located in northwest Newfoundland and Labrador in central Labrador region (Fig. 1).

New Earth intends to utilize integrated magnetic (mag) and radiometric (rad) datasets to refine its exploration strategy. This approach focuses on identifying structural controls and mineral signatures typical of REE deposits.

• Structural Targeting: The combined datasets identify multiple high-priority targets that align with REE-bearing intrusive complexes.

• Radiometric Precision:

• • Thorium Correlation: High equivalent Thorium (eTh) anomalies show a strong spatial link to structural trends and lithological contacts.
  • Th/K Ratios: Surveying Potassium (K), Thorium (Th), and Uranium (U) channels helps identify elevated Thorium-to-Potassium (Th/K) ratios, a key indicator of Total Rare Earth Element enrichment.

• Magnetic Mapping:

• • Lithological Contacts: Magnetic data is used to map faults, shears, and intrusions that host alkaline complexes or carbonatites.
  • Anomaly Identification: The team is targeting magnetic lows (often associated with carbonatites) and magnetic highs (related to iron oxide-apatite hosted REE deposits).

• Advanced Modeling:

• • 3D Inversion: Applied to magnetic data to define the exact geometry and depth of intrusive bodies for potential future drilling targets.
  • Geophysical Response Modeling: Modeling known REE occurrences on the Property  to refine the broader geological framework.

• Ground Follow-up:

• • Radiometric anomalies are being used to direct soil and rock chip sampling to areas with the highest surface mineralization.
  • Ground-based spectrometer surveys and mapping where radiometric highs and magnetic anomalies coincide.

“The integration of high-resolution magnetic and radiometric data will allow us to potentially pinpoint structurally controlled target zones accurately,” said Lawrence Hay, CEO of New Earth. “By overlaying these geophysical datasets, we can precisely identify and rank high-potential corridors for REE enrichment, which would directly optimize our exploration strategy.”
