OD6 Metals Announces Significant Fluorspar Grades at Horseshoe Prospect

OD6 Metals has published assay results from expanded channel sampling at the Horseshoe Prospect, showcasing exceptional fluorspar mineralisation grades. Key highlights include 50 meters at 63.9% CaF2 from the SE Wall and 22 meters at 70.7% CaF2 from the NW Wall, emphasizing the potential for a substantial, high-grade fluorspar deposit at this location.

Situated approximately 220 kilometers north of Las Vegas, Nevada, the Horseshoe Prospect is a component of the Quinn Fluorspar Project. The project has demonstrated very high-grade fluorspar mineralisation, which could notably influence the United States' fluorspar supply chain, currently fully reliant on imports.

Strategic Implications for the Quinn Fluorspar Project

Results from the Horseshoe Prospect indicate a large, near-surface high-grade fluorspar deposit with strategic importance for the United States. Fluorspar is included on the US Critical Minerals list and is utilized across multiple industries, including battery technology and aerospace. The project's closeness to the US Strategic Minerals Reserve further enhances its strategic value.

OD6 Metals' Managing Director, Brett Hazelden, emphasized the scale and consistency of the high-grade mineralisation, offering the company opportunities to explore early-stage development pathways. The focus will be on producing Metspar products while progressing metallurgical programs aimed at premium Acidspar specifications.

Channel Sampling Approach and Findings

The channel sampling at Horseshoe Prospect involved systematic sample collection at set intervals using hammer drilling. This technique provides a representative grade measurement across the sampled intervals, confirming the mineralisation’s high-grade nature. The average grade from all 118 channel samples was 64.4% CaF2, with 84% of samples exceeding 50% CaF2.

These results are significant as they confirm broad zones of surface high-grade fluorspar, reinforcing Horseshoe’s potential to yield premium, high-value products. Mineralisation remains open both up-dip and down-dip, indicating substantial expansion opportunities.

Importance of Developing Domestic Fluorspar Supply

The United States’ complete reliance on imported fluorspar underscores the strategic need to develop domestic sources. The Quinn Fluorspar Project, featuring high-grade mineralisation, is well-positioned to help secure a domestic supply of this critical mineral. Its location in Nevada, a leading mining jurisdiction, further supports its development prospects.

OD6 Metals remains optimistic about the project’s outlook, viewing it as an exceptional opportunity with clear momentum to advance to subsequent phases. The company plans to pursue a staged development approach, targeting early Metspar production and evaluating potential for higher-value Acidspar products.

Upcoming Milestones for OD6 Metals

OD6 Metals is concentrating on completing shareholder approval for the Quinn Fluorspar Project acquisition. The company is also awaiting pending assay results, which will provide additional insights to guide its development strategy. These steps are critical for advancing the project and unlocking its full potential.

The company’s dedication to progressing the Quinn Fluorspar Project aligns with rising demand for a secure domestic fluorspar supply in the United States. Investors will closely watch for updates on shareholder approval and forthcoming assay results as the project moves forward.
