Managing Director Brett Hazelden, commented:
“We have successfully consolidated Quinn Fluorspar into a district play — and we believe this represents the most
compelling emerging fluorspar project in North America. We've already identified three targets with genuine scale
that warrant drilling to resource status: Horseshoe, Mammoth, and Big Jim.
What makes this story even more meaningful is the addition of other occurrences including Blue Bell and Bonanza
— two close-proximity historic fluorspar deposits that show real scale potential. Together, these give us the ability to
build a strong pipeline of exploration targets. The vision we're working toward is a hub-and-spoke model — multiple
2
feeds supplying a single processing facility at the Quinn Project. This approach has the potential to transform Quinn
into something truly significant, and we're excited about the path ahead.”
OD6 Metals Limited (ASX: OD6) is pleased to announce a major expansion of the Quinn Fluorspar Project
in Nevada, USA, following a detailed review of historical geological data, government archives and
regional fluorspar occurrences. The Company has expanded its landholding from the original optioned
claims to a district-scale position comprising 226 mining claims covering approximately 1,890 hectares
across seven project areas.
Disclaimer on Historic results
Assay results in this report are historic in nature and are compiled by the Competent Person to the best of his
knowledge. Historic observations, including grades, are consistent in multiple reports (as referenced) by Nevada
Bureau Mines & Geology, the United States Geological Survey and Union Carbide Corporation and therefore
considered reasonable for presentation here, they have not yet been followed up with Company work. Refer to
JORC Table 1 for further details. The Company is currently undertaking on-ground work, and will be assessing
these projects with results expected in 4 to 6 weeks.
About Quinn Fluorspar Project
On 9 June 2026 the Company announced the exercise of the option agreement to acquire the Quinn Fluorspar
Project, located approximately 220km north of Las Vegas, Nevada. The project offers very high-grade fluorspar
mineralisation (>40% CaF2) identified at the Mammoth and Horseshoe Projects in replacement / breccia style
mineralisation mapped out over large 9,000m2
and 3,000m2
areas respectively. In addition, a number of other
fluorspar occurrences are noted in the wider project area with reported historic rock chip results up to 98.6% CaF2
(refer announcement 12 May 2026). Preliminary work by the Company has revealed Mammoth, Horseshoe and
Big Jim to be very high grade and potentially significant deposits of fluorspar (refer presentation 20 May 2026 for
summary and therein, a list of material announcements).
The United States is currently 100% reliant on imports of fluorspar highlighting the strategic importance of
domestic supply. Fluorspar is listed on the US Critical Minerals list with applications in battery technologies, AI
chip manufacture, nuclear fuels industry, aerospace and defence technologies. The project is located
~300km by road from the US Strategic Minerals Reserve at Hawthorne, Nevada (refer to previous Company
announcements)
New Staking
The Company enlisted the assistance of Rangefront LLC — a well-established mining and exploration services
company — to stake new State of Nevada Mining Claims. These claims were filed in mid-May 2026. The Company
has been researching through the historic archives to assess the potential of the new claim blocks.
The Company’s footprint has now expanded to 226 total mining claims covering 7 projects with 20 individual
historic fluorspar occurrences. Furthermore, new staking has been completed to join the Dress Circle project area
with the Horseshoe Project.

Figure 1: The Quinn Fluorspar Project with new projects
Blue Bell Project – High-Grade CaF2
The Blue Bell Project is situated in Lincoln County, approximately 12 kilometres south of the Horseshoe Project,
and is readily accessible via existing tracks. The project encompasses the historic Blue Bell Mine alongside three
additional fluorspar occurrences — Sunbeam, Shannon Queen and Emerald — all of which have been
documented by both the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG) (Papke, 1979) and the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) (Thompson, 1988).
Blue Bell Mine
A small open pit was developed at the Blue Bell Mine in 1972 (Papke 1979), and USGS sampling carried out in
1988 has since been integrated with previous mapping. The system hosts 1 to 2m wide, very high-grade
fluorspar veins, with one standout assay returning an 88.9% CaF₂. Adjoining to the south is a
breccia/stockwork zone mapped over at least 12m in width, returning assays of 23.1%, 20.6% and 17.5% CaF₂.
Blue Bell is hosted within a volcanic tuff sequence. A highly silicified altered zone to the northeast of the historic
workings is interpreted as a potential lithocap of the main mineralised body, offset along a northeast-
southwest striking fault.
The Blue Bell system dips steeply to the north toward a broad valley. Despite its relatively modest surface
footprint, the system remains open in several directions, presenting attractive drill targets from both the
historic pit and the valley below. Importantly, there is no record of any previous drilling at Blue Bell —
meaning this system is essentially untested at depth. The Company recently had representatives visit Blue Bell,
with samples pending assaying. Additional mapping and channel sampling of this system is a priority for the
Company ahead of finalising a drill plan.

Figure 2: Geology Map of Blue Bell (georeferenced after Papke 1979); with samples located (Thompson, 1988). Mapping and follow up
work is underway, as noted, with intention of improving accuracy of this map.
Shannon Queen, Emerald and Sunbeam
Shannon Queen adds further potential to the Blue Bell Project, featuring a series of stepping massive fluorspar
veins. The main vein has been traced across intermittent exposures ranging from 30cm to 3m thick over a strike
length of 150m, with multiple additional veins noted throughout. These are hosted in an altered Tertiary
volcanic sequence (Papke, 1979). Intriguingly, nearby basement Ordovician limestone suggests the volcanic
sequence may be relatively thin (100–200m), raising the possibility of replacement-style, limestone-hosted
mineralisation pooling at depth beneath the volcanics.
Emerald and Sunbeam are currently recorded as narrow vein occurrences. No historic sample data has been
located for Shannon Queen, Emerald or Sunbeam, and all three will be re-mapped and assessed to determine
whether they warrant drill follow-up.
Bonanza – potential large scale CaF2 breccias
Bonanza Project
The Bonanza Project is located in Nye County, approximately 7km east of the Mammoth Deposit, easily
accessible by road and existing tracks across the eastern foothills of the range. The project encompasses the
historic workings at the Bonanza Deposit alongside two additional fluorspar occurrences — Valley View and
Liberty Bell — documented by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG) (Papke, 1979), the USGS
(Thompson, 1988), and with geological mapping recorded by Union Carbide Corporation (Wharton, 1957). While
5
historic grades and fluorspar references exist, these samples have not been located with coordinates and are
therefore not presented under JORC requirements.
Bonanza Mine
Bonanza is of considerable scale. Georeferenced mapping by Union Carbide Corporation (Wharton, 1957)
reveals two substantial CaF₂-bearing breccia bodies. The first extends over 200m strike length with widths
up to 25m; the second measures 80m long with widths up to 10m. Combined, these two bodies cover a
collective target area of 3,300m². Three additional high-grade zones identified by Union Carbide, covering a
further 515m² are also noted. The host rock is a heavily silicified limestone or quartzite — a geological setting
similar to the Company's flagship Mammoth and Horseshoe deposits.
The Bonanza Project is hosted within a large epithermal alteration footprint that frames this as a compelling
exploration target. The Company recently had representatives visit Bonanza, with samples pending assaying.
Bonanza will be remapped and sampled in upcoming programs.
Figure 3: Bonanza Mine Geology, After Union Carbide (Wharton, 1958) (georeferencing approx ±20m). Note the high-grade zones are as
labelled on the original map from 1958, and without grades and do not constitute a visual estimate. Mapping and follow up work is
underway, as noted, with intention of improving accuracy of this map.
Valley View and Liberty Bell
6
Valley View, also mapped by Union Carbide (Wharton, 1957), hosts a breccia pipe approximately 10m in
diameter. Liberty Bell is a recorded fluorspar occurrence (Papke, 1979), with further investigation required to
fully assess the potential.
El Cortez and Bruno Projects – additional fluorspar occurrences
The El Cortez project is located 12km southwest of Horseshoe Fluorspar Project and consists of recorded historic
fluorspar occurrences at the Cortez and Green Spar showings.
The Bruno Project is located on the westside of the Quinn Canyon Range, with recorded showings of fluorspar
at the Bruno and Red Bluff Prospects. Both Bruno and El Cortez require further work to assess their potential.

Regional Setting, mineralization styles
The Quinn Fluorspar deposits are part of the Great Basin (Basin and Range) of Nevada. The deposits are hosted
in Paleozoic sediments including the Pogonip Limestone Formation and the Simonson Dolomite. Mesozoic to
Cenozoic (Tertiary) intrusions and volcanism resulted in a significant epithermal event through the district.
Fluorspar (CaF₂) is deposited in epithermal breccias, veins and as replacement deposits parallel to the bedding
in the limestone.

JORC 2012 – Table 1: Quinn Fluorspar Project
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques • Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information
• Historic samples collected reported in reports as
rock chips and channels by Thompson (USGS),
1988.
Drilling techniques • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and
details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
• NA
Drill sample recovery • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• NA
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
• Sample descriptions from Thompson (1988)
include vein, stockwork and breccia fluorspar
bearing bodies. This is corroborated by
descriptions in Papke (1979) and in Wharton
(1957).
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc
and whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
• NA
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
• Assays are reported as assayed by United States
Geological Survey (California Laboratory) with a
detection limi of 0.1% F. It is not known which
technique was used, though the Bidtel (Bidtel
1912) method was commonly used at this time.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.
Verification of sampling
and assaying
• The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• Other reports including Papke (1979), Quade
(1984) & Sainsbury & Kleinhampl (1969) also
report high grade results from Blue Bell. These
assay coordinates have not been located, but are
consistent and demonstrate high-grade with the
Thompson (1988) report.
Location of data points • Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
• The map included by Thompson, with sample
locations, was based on a map by Papke (1979).
This map was georeferenced, and locations
sighted. These are estimated accuracy at ± 5𝑚
Data spacing and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.
• As noted in the map in the body of this report.
• This is not sufficient for Mineral Resource
Estimation.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered
to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
• Spot samples – orientation not provided. Though
the Map in Figure 1 demonstrates the potential
outcropping scale of the Blue Bell Project.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security. • Historic samples – with unknown security
procedures
Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
• Reviews of historic data was carried out by the
Competent Person – Dr Darren Holden of GeoSpy
and technical advisor to the Company.
• Historic reviews by the USGS and others prior to
sampling by Thompson, confirm the presence of
high-grade fluorspar. Including Papke (1979)
and Sainsbury & Kleinhampl (1969). Refer
