OD6 Metals (ASX:OD6) advances Quinn Fluorspar Project as Phase 2 work progresses in Nevada

OD6 Metals has provided an exploration update on its Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada, where Phase 1 exploration has been completed and Phase 2 work is underway and nearing completion.

The company said all Phase 1 samples have been submitted for laboratory analysis, with assay results pending and to be released to the market as they are received and interpreted.

Highlights

• ~320 soil samples collected across multiple targets as a base-line study
• ~40 stream sediment samples collected for regional targeting
• Phase 2 mapping and sampling program underway and nearing completion
• OD6 is systematically testing an 8km alteration corridor
• Expanded channel sampling planned at Mammoth and Horseshoe
• Reconnaissance mapping underway at Big Jim, Spar, Jumbo, Rocket and North Horseshoe
• Exploration underway across a 1.1km Horseshoe-Jumbo alteration corridor
• A 70,000m2 lithocap is being assessed
• Access track surveys underway ahead of drill planning
• Preliminary metallurgical test work to commence
• Phase 1 assay results pending

OD6 announced on 4 March 2026 that it had entered an exclusive option agreement to acquire the Quinn Fluorspar Project, located approximately 220km north of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The company said the project hosts fluorspar mineralisation identified at the Mammoth and Horseshoe projects, where replacement and breccia style mineralisation has been mapped over 9,000m2 and 3,000m2 respectively, while also referencing historic rock chip results from the wider project area of up to 94% CaF2.

The company said its initial field program represented the first concerted exploration effort on the project in approximately 60 years.

The Phase 1 program included soil and stream sediment sampling designed to develop knowledge on anomalism around known deposits and target key alteration corridors for potential additional fluorspar discovery, with all samples now submitted for laboratory analysis.

Phase 2 work includes channel sampling across accessible fluorspar exposures at Horseshoe and Mammoth, detailed geological mapping, reconnaissance mapping at Big Jim, Spar, Jumbo, Rocket and North Horseshoe, and mapping across the 1.1km Horseshoe-Jumbo Corridor, including the 70,000m2 lithocap.

The company is also surveying access tracks for its first drill program and collecting metallurgical test samples for optical sorting, crushing, grinding and preliminary flotation testwork.

OD6 Managing Director Brett Hazelden said the company had made significant on-ground progress since announcing the project.

“After only 2 months since announcing the Quinn Fluorspar Project, the Company has already made significant on-ground progress.”

OD6 said its next steps include receiving and interpreting assay results, expanding systematic channel and rock chip sampling, validating historic high-grade results, undertaking detailed geological and structural mapping, completing soil geochemistry programs, identifying and prioritising drill targets, initiating permitting for maiden drilling and progressing metallurgical testwork planning.
