OD6 Metals Limited (ASX: OD6) (OD6 or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has received firm commitments
to raise A$1.17 million (before costs) through a strongly supported share placement to professional and
sophisticated investors (Placement).
Directors, Darren Holden, Brett Hazelden and Mitch Loan subscribed for $65k (in aggregate), with the issue of
such securities of the Placement, subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 at a planned
General Meeting (EGM) anticipated to be held in mid-March 2025.
Funds raised from the Placement will be used to advance the recently acquired Gulf Creek Copper Project, for
general working capital purposes and expenses relating to the assessment of potential future opportunities. Key
activities at the Gulf Creek Copper Project include Phase 1 drilling around the historic workings, downhole
electromagnetics coincident with drilling, discovery exploration activities and Phase 2 program preparations.
Commenting on the capital raising, OD6’s Managing Director, Brett Hazelden, said:
“With the imminent commencement of drilling at Gulf Creek, we have taken the opportunity to top up our cash on
hand to help accelerate our planning and approvals for the multiple, high priority drill targets recently identified.
We have been cognisant of the current share price and dilution to existing shareholders, and have completed a
modest and prudent capital raise to ensure we have enough runway to complete the already approved Phase 1
brownfield drilling program around the old workings, plus enable Phase 2 activities to commence.
The Company acknowledges and thanks the strong support received from new and existing professional and
sophisticated investors.”

About OD6 Metals
OD6 Metals is an Australian public company pursuing exploration and development opportunities within the critical minerals
sector, namely rare earths and copper.
Copper
The Company is also looking to advance the proposed acquisition of the Gulf Creek Copper-Zinc VMS Project located near
the town of Barraba in NSW, Australia.
Gulf Creek was mined at around the turn of the 20th century and was once regarded as the highest grade copper mine (2%
to 6.5% Cu) in NSW until its closure due to weak copper prices in 1912. Very little exploration has occurred at the project in
over 100 years, with OD6 aiming to apply modern day exploration technologies.
Mineralisation is associated with magnetite, with geophysics showing significant greenfields and brownfields exploration
potential exists with over >3km of untested strike in the immediate mine-stratigraphy, and over >10km across the tenement.
Rare Earth Elements
OD6 Metals 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.
The Company released a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for Splinter Rock in May 2024, confirming that the project hosts
the largest and highest-grade clay-hosted rare earths deposit in Australia with a Indicated Resource of 119Mt @ 1,632ppm
TREO and a Inferred Resource of 563Mt @ 1,275ppm TREO with an overall ratio of ~23% high-value Magnetic Rare Earths
(MagREE).
OD6 Metals believes that Splinter Rock has all the hallmarks of a world class rare earths project with a conceptual
development which utilises the large and high-grade Splinter Rock resource to support a long-life REE operation supported
by a low strip ratio
