OD6 METALS TO PURSUE US OTCQB QUOTATION
Expanding U.S. investor access to OD6 as it advances the high-grade Quinn
Fluorspar Project in Nevada amid 100% U.S. net import reliance
HIGHLIGHTS
⢠U.S. OTCQB Quotation: OD6 has commenced the process of seeking quotation of its ordinary shares on
the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States, while retaining its primary ASX listing
⢠Growing U.S. Investor Interest: The initiative follows increasing interest in OD6 and its Quinn Fluorspar
Project from North American investors
⢠Enhanced U.S. Market Access: OTCQB quotation is expected to improve visibility and trading
accessibility for U.S. investors and broaden OD6's potential North American investor base
⢠Strategically Important U.S. Critical Mineral: Fluorspar is included on the U.S. critical minerals list and
the United States remains highly dependent on imported supply
⢠Viriathus Appointed: U.S.-based Viriathus Capital LLC has been appointed as Financial Advisor to assist
OD6 with the OTCQB quotation process, including application, certification and ongoing compliance
requirements
Managing Director Brett Hazelden, commented:
"Commencing the OTCQB quotation process is a natural next step in OD6âs strategy as we increase our
presence in the United States and advance the Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada.
We are seeing increasing interest from North American investors in both OD6 and the strategic importance of
fluorspar. The exceptional grades demonstrated at Quinn, together with its location in Nevada and exposure
to a critical mineral for which the United States remains 100% net import reliant, provide a compelling
foundation for increasing OD6âs visibility in U.S. capital markets.
An OTCQB quotation has the potential to make OD6 more accessible to U.S. investors, broaden our shareholder
base and increase awareness of Quinn as we continue to advance the Project.
We are pleased to be working with Viriathus Capital, which brings specialist U.S. capital markets and OTCQB
experience to assist OD6 through the quotation process"
OD6 Metals Limited (ASX: OD6) (âOD6â or âthe Companyâ) is pleased to announce that it has commenced
the process of seeking quotation of its ordinary shares on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States
and has appointed U.S.-based Viriathus Capital LLC (âViriathusâ) as Financial Advisor to assist the Company
through the quotation process.
The proposed OTCQB quotation forms part of OD6âs broader strategy to increase its exposure to North
American capital markets as the Company advances the Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada, USA.
The initiative follows increasing interest in OD6 from North American investors and is intended to provide U.S.
investors with greater visibility and accessibility to the Companyâs ASX-listed ordinary shares.
OD6âs primary listing will remain on the ASX.

Strategic Rationale for U.S. OTCQB Quotation
OD6 considers the proposed OTCQB quotation to be a logical extension of the Companyâs growing strategic
exposure to the United States through the Quinn Fluorspar Project.
Growing North American Investor Interest
The Company has experienced increasing interest from North American investors as OD6 has advanced its U.S.
critical minerals strategy and the Quinn Fluorspar Project.
An OTCQB quotation is expected to provide U.S. investors with improved access to trade OD6 securities during
North American market hours, while providing the Company with increased visibility across U.S. capital markets.
Critical Importance of Fluorspar to the United States
Fluorspar is included on the U.S. Governmentâs 2025 List of Critical Minerals, reflecting its importance to the
U.S. economy and supply chains.
The United States remains 100% net import reliant for fluorspar, with significant U.S. fluorspar mine
production not reported since 1995.
Fluorspar is the principal commercial source of fluorine and is used across a broad range of strategically
important industrial applications. Acid-grade fluorspar is principally used to manufacture hydrofluoric acid,
which is the primary feedstock for virtually all fluorine-bearing chemicals. Fluorine-based products have
applications across advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, aluminium, uranium processing, batteries,
defence and other high-technology industries.
Increasing domestic sources of fluorspar therefore has the potential to contribute to greater security and
resilience within U.S. critical mineral and industrial supply chains.
About the OTCQB Venture Market
The OTCQB Venture Market is operated by OTC Markets Group in the United States and is designed for
entrepreneurial and development-stage U.S. and international companies.
OTCQB provides qualifying international companies with access to U.S. investors while allowing those
companies to maintain their primary listing on a recognised foreign exchange.
Companies seeking OTCQB quotation are required to satisfy eligibility, disclosure, financial reporting and
ongoing compliance requirements.
OD6 will retain its primary listing on the ASX.
Appointment of Viriathus Capital
In connection with the OTCQB quotation process, OD6 has appointed Viriathus Capital LLC as its non-exclusive
Financial Advisor. Viriathus is a U.S.-based capital markets advisory firm and an approved Corporate Broker
Sponsor with OTC Markets Group. Viriathus will assist the Company with the OTCQB quotation process,
including:
⢠reviewing OD6âs eligibility for OTCQB quotation
⢠assisting with preparation and submission of the initial OTCQB application
⢠assisting with listing certification requirements
⢠providing assistance in relation to U.S. disclosure and ongoing compliance requirements
⢠liaising with OTC Markets Group and responding to requests and enquiries during the application process
⢠providing U.S. capital markets advice relevant to the proposed quotation

Quinns Fluorspar Project U.S Strategic Advantage
The Quinn Fluorspar Project, located in Nevada, USA, provides OD6 with direct exposure to a strategically
important critical mineral within the United States. The Project's key attributes include:
⢠location in Nevada, USA, one of the worldâs established mining jurisdictions
⢠a historical fluorspar mining district containing multiple known fluorspar occurrences
⢠OD6 has now consolidated 100% ownership of 226 mining claims covering ~1,890 hectares
⢠+20 Fluorspar occurrences, supporting a future hub-and-spoke development strategy
⢠exceptionally high-grade fluorspar mineralisation demonstrated through OD6âs recent exploration
and sampling programs
⢠Multiple high-priority drill targets defined from integrated geological mapping, fluorine geochemistry,
structural interpretation and historical drilling
⢠8km fertile mineralised corridor confirmed with additional high-grade fluorine anomalies identified
outside known deposits
⢠Low impurity mineralisation supports potential production of premium Acidspar (>97% CaFâ) and
Metspar products following beneficiation
⢠Permitting program underway, including environmental baseline, archaeological studies and
preparation of drilling and bulk sample approvals
⢠Metallurgical testwork advancing with optical sorting and beneficiation studies to optimise premium
product recoveries
⢠Potential Gold Upside identified in soil sampling across Mammoth, Horseshoe and Dress Circle
Together, these results reinforce OD6's view that Quinn has the potential to emerge as a strategically significant
domestic source of high-grade fluorspar in a U.S. market that remains 100% net import reliant.
