ASX: OD6
2023 Annual General Meeting Chairâs Address
To our Shareholders,
On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land upon which
we meet to today, the Whadjuk People. Furthermore, I would like to acknowledge the Ngadju people and the
Esperance Nyungar - the Traditional Owners of the land upon which we work. We pay our respects to the
respective Traditional Owner groups and their elders, past, present and emerging. We also wish to thank the
Traditional Owners and their representatives for their support on-country during the past year.
I welcome our shareholders to this meeting, which is our second as an ASX listed company and introduce my
fellow directors. Mr Piers Lewis, Dr Mitch Loan and Mr Brett Hazelden, our Managing Director.
As many shareholders will be aware, our Company has continued to make impressive progress with exploration
for Rare Earth Elements (REE) across our tenements, which encompass 4,828 square kilometres, in districts near
Esperance in Western Australia.
Having raised A$8 million at the end of the previous financial year we established a small, highly skilled team to
manage a set of targeted exploration activities. This team ensured we completed the maiden drilling program at
Splinter Rock within the first three months of the 2023 financial year. The results from that drilling program
recorded outstanding REE assay levels, representing some of the highest grades and thickest clay-hosted rare
earth intersections seen in Australia.
In October 2022, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement with the CSIRO, supported through
the Kick-Start Program, to generate an improved geochemical and geophysical understanding of the techniques
needed to increase confidence in REE exploration.
During that same month the Company commenced an airborne electromagnetic survey, across both its Grass
Patch and Splinter Rock Projects, designed to enable future targeted drilling of high priority exploration areas.
When this data was assessed, it strongly aligned with the initial drilling results and enabled the identification of
253 square kilometres of combined clay basin target areas.
In January, OD6 Metals commenced a first pass reconnaissance drilling program at the Grass Patch Project which
confirmed significant areas of high-grade, clay hosted earths with three main prospects identified for further
follow up drilling.

The second half of the financial year also saw further drilling at Splinter Rock, to strengthen and expand on the
earlier results.
An initial metallurgical test work program, through the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
(ANSTO), recorded some excellent recoveries and provides a platform for our on-going metallurgical studies.
Metallurgical engineering, along with innovative strategies for sustainable development, are key parts of our ongoing research and we are fortunate to have the assistance from several research providers including the CSIRO,
Murdoch University, ANSTO and industry leading consultants.
In striving towards the potential future development of our REE resources, OD6 Metals continues to pursue a
disciplined approach to geometallurgy where we not only prioritise areas, tonnes and grade, but we move to also
maximise value through a âBest of the Bestâ strategy.
We are out to prioritise areas replete with all the
characteristics requiredâ tonnes, grade, thickness, strip-ratio, high metallurgical recovery and low reagent
consumption.
In July 2023 we achieved a key milestone, confirming a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 344 million
tonnes at 1,308ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) at 1,000ppm cut-off grade for the Splinter Rock Project.1 This
remarkable outcome was achieved in less than a year from the start of the first drilling and is derived from less
than five per cent of the targeted clay basin area, with on-going exploration now anticipated to further expand
the known mineralised zones.
Most recently, we announced outstanding drill results from our Phase 3 drilling program at the Centre and Prop
Prospects. With the combination of clay thicknesses of up to 77m, grades well in excess of 1,000ppm TREO and
consistency across several kilometres of width and length, these two Prospects continues to validate this globally
significant discovery.2,3
These results materially expand the extent of the current footprint of high-grade
mineralisation, offering real and substantial potential for resource expansion.
During this month of November we have also continued provide detail on the state of the art work being
conducted at CSIRO4 and ANSTO.5 This work continues to expand on our identified clay basins and channels plus
validates our proposed processing route whilst providing confidence in future potential project economics.
OD6 Metals is continuing to conduct research and development into all aspects of the project including how to
efficiently provide what is required for large scale development including, studies into producing reagents onsite and utilising the excellent renewable energy resources available to the Esperance district. This R&D work
recently saw a $962k Tax Offset6 being received which continues to show the Federal governmentâs support for
this critical mineral industry..
Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) approach, initiated during the past 12 months, remains a crucial
aspect of how we operate. Our ESG aims are to minimize our environmental impact, look after our people, grow
with our communities and create value for our stakeholders.

As always, our activities are underpinned by high standards of business ethics, governance and regulatory
compliance, along with acting with integrity to responsibly deliver future rare earth resources for a low carbon
future.
I am proud to again state that OD6 Metals fulfilled each of the short-term commitments made in the 2022
Prospectus and our project at Splinter Rock continues to exceed our expectations.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to record our appreciation for the support of our loyal shareholders as, despite
the significant achievements of the past year, everyone on our team understands there remains a great deal more
to do.
Critical minerals exploration, discovery and development is crucial for a world in an energy industry transition.
Australia is set to provide a globally significant role in this future. OD6 Metals, is at the vanguard of this future
with some of the most extensive and highest-grade clay-hosted REE deposits in Australia.
Lastly, again on behalf of the Board, I congratulate everyone involved in contributing to the OD6 Metals story
and we look forward to sharing the exciting journey ahead.
Thank you.

Acid Consumption and Reagent Costs
Important to consider total reagent requirements, not just one step in the process
⢠Vendor discussions confirm viability of
potential site-based chlor-alkali facility
⢠Indicative pricing for a chlor-alkali
electrolyser is approximately ÂŁ3M each
(A$5.7M)
⢠Chlor-alkali plant also provides a
sodium hydroxide (NaOH) co-product
which is utilised in impurity removal
and precipitation of a final Mixed Rare
Earth Product (MREC/H)
⢠A single chlor-alkali electrolyser has the
potential to produce 62ktpa HCl and
69ktpa of NaOH which, at an average
consumption of 16 kg HCl / tonne of
ore, is sufficient to treat ~4Mtpa of REE

The Mineral Resource estimate has been reported by an
independent Competent Person in accordance with the
provisions of the JORC Code
TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxide) = La2O3 + CeO2 + Pr6O11 + Nd2O3 + Sm2O3 + Eu2O3 + Gd2O3 + Tb4O7 + Dy2O3 + Ho2O3 + Er2O3 + Tm2O3 + Yb2O3 + Lu2O3 + Y2O3
MagREO (Magnet Rare Earth Oxide) = Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 + Tb4O7 + Dy2O3
% Magnet REO = (MagREO / TREO)*100
For full Mineral Resource estimate details refer to OD6 ASX announcement 18 July 2023, âMaiden Mineral Resource Estimateâ. OD6 is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the Mineral
Resource estimate included in that release. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource estimate in that release continue to apply and have not materially changed.
