Announcement PDF ASX Announcement 20 November 2023 ASX: OD6 Research and Development Tax Offset Funds Received OD6 Metals Limited (OD6 or the Company) is pleased to announce that the Company’s 2022/23 Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive claim has been received. OD6 is registered for eligible Australian R&D activities at the Splinter Rock and Grass Patch clay hosted rare earth (REE) projects, located near Esperance in Western Australia. Highlights: • Treasury position bolstered with A$962,697 R&D tax offsets received for the 2023 financial year. • Funds received reflect a rebate on eligible Australia R&D activities undertaken for the Splinter Rock and Grass Patch clay hosted REE projects. • The Company expects to continue R&D works and anticipates being able to claim future tax offsets over the coming years. • The Company is fully committed to R&D as it continues to develop critical minerals technologies through relationships with the CSIRO, Murdoch University, ANSTO, private research providers and internally. Brett Hazelden, Managing Director, commented: “The R&D Tax Incentive program is an important scheme supporting OD6 and its partners like CSIRO, ANSTO and Murdoch university to develop the technology to discover and extract the rare earth elements associated with its clay hosted rare earth projects. Critical minerals exploration, discovery and development is crucial for a world in an energy industry transition. Considering there is only one operational rare earth mine in Australia, the federal government’s support of this critical minerals industry is highly important to the future development of the Company and the resources industry. We are a future-facing Company rapidly advancing our identified prospects at Splinter Rock, as we look to develop the necessary technology for a rare earth industry in the Esperance region of Western Australia.“ 1 No new information Except where explicitly stated, this announcement contains references to prior exploration results, all of which have been cross-referenced to previous market announcements made by the Company.

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of OD6 Metals Limited 2 About OD6 Metals OD6 Metals is an Australian public company pursuing exploration and development opportunities within the critical mineral sector. The Company has successfully identified clay hosted rare earths at its 100% owned Splinter Rock and Grass Patch Projects, which are located in the Esperance-Goldfields region of Western Australia - about 30 to 150km northeast of the major port and town of Esperance. Drilling and geological analysis at its flagship Splinter Rock has shown widespread, thick, high-grade clay hosted REE deposits that extend over hundreds of square kilometres. Metallurgical testing using hydrochloric acid to leach the rare earths have resulted in positive REE recoveries with optimisation ongoing. The Company aims to delineate and define economic resources and reserves of Rare Earth Elements (REE), in particular Neodymium (Nd), Praseodymium (Pr), Dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium (Tb), which can be developed into a future revenue generating mine. Clay REE deposits are currently economically extracted in China, which is the dominant world producer of REEs. REE are becoming increasingly important in the global economy, with uses including advanced electronics and permanent magnets in electric motors. As an example, a neodymium magnet used in a wind turbine or electric vehicle motor is 18 times stronger than a standard ferrite magnet significantly increasing energy use efficiency. As part of the exploration process the Company has entered into heritage agreements with Esperance Tjaltrjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation and the Ngadju Native Title Aboriginal Corporation that serves to both enable exploration and protect important cultural sites on Country.
