DY6 Metals is an Australian-based mineral exploration company committed to developing critical metals projects in Africa. Established in 2022 and headquartered in Perth, DY6 holds 100% ownership of six highly prospective projects in Malawi, targeting heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), niobium, platinum group elements (PGEs), copper, and nickel. The company’s flagship Machinga Project has demonstrated high-grade HREE and niobium mineralization, with drill results confirming significant concentrations of dysprosium and terbium—key components in high-performance magnets. Other notable projects include Salambidwe, characterized by its concentric carbonatite ring structure; Ngala Hill, offering potential for palladium-rich PGE, copper, and nickel mineralization; and Tundulu, a known carbonatite complex with substantial REE mineralization. Additionally, DY6 has expanded its portfolio by acquiring two large and highly prospective rutile and heavy mineral sands projects in Cameroon, covering a combined area of 2,140 km².
