OD6 Metals Limited announced that drilling is complete at its Grass Patch Project, which is considered highly prospective for clay hosted rare earth element (REE) mineralisation. Completed 93-hole dill program targeted regional anomalies and prospective clay basin areas identified through the Airborne Electromagnetic Survey (AEM). A total of 3,399m has been drilled at an average depth of 36.5m.

The drill program confirmed thick saprolite clay horizons, with samples currently being assayed for Rare Earth Elements (REEs). The Company is compiling and reviewing recorded drill hole logging data to enable detailed mapping of clay depth and thickness. Future cross sections will detail assay results, thickness of transported covering and saprolite clays, and depth to basement.

Results from the program will aid in informing the focus for future drilling programs. The drill rig and OD6 exploration team are relocating to Splinter Rock for a 71-hole, 200m spaced drill program designed to test the localised variability of clay thickness and grades, to assist in determining optimal drill spacing for future JORC Mineral Resource Estimation. Program timeline: Subject to laboratory processing times, assays for Grass Patch drilling are expected to be received in first quarter of 2023. Completion of the Air Core drilling at Splinter Rock is currently scheduled for late February 2023, with assays expected to be available during second quarter of 2023.
