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 WA - about 30 to
150km northeast of the major port and town of Esperance.
REE are becoming increasingly important in the global economy,
with uses including advanced electronics and permanent magnets
electric motors in electric vehicles, wind turbines and robotics.
An updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the flagship
Splinter Rock Rare Earths Project was released in May 2024 and has
confirmed that Splinter Rock hosts the largest and highest-grade
clay-hosted rare earths deposit in Australia with a Resource of 682Mt @ 1,338ppm TREO.
The Splinter Rock MRE indicates that high-value Magnetic Rare Earths (MagREE) such Neodymium (Nd), Praseodymium (Pr),
Dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium (Tb) represent ~23% of the deposit.
Metallurgical testing using hydrochloric acid to leach the rare earths have resulted in positive REE recoveries with
optimisation ongoing. The Inside Centre Prospect is a main focus of the company given its metallurgical recoveries, high
grade, low strip ratio and its considerable thickness.
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.
