OD6 Metals Ltd (ASX:OD6) managing director Brett Hazelden sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss ongoing work at its Splinter Rock Project in WA. Hazeldon discusses OD6’s aim of being at the forefront of research into geo-metallurgical exploration for Australian clay REE deposits, before taking us through the most recent results from the project. Ore taken from the project achieved recoveries up to 90% for magnet REEs across 60 fresh samples and averaged magnet REE recoveries of about 62% at a concentration of 25 grams per litre of hydrochloric acid. In an important discovery for the overall economics of the project, the recoveries for all magnet rare earth oxides (MREOs) were similar, whether it be neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium or terbium. Hazeldon said the results affirmed the Splinter Rock project as Australia’s premier clay-hosted rare earth deposit.
Hazelden said: “The outstanding results from our metallurgical leaching studies continue to affirm the Splinter Rock project as Australia’s premier clay-hosted rare earth deposit. With consistent recoveries averaging over 60% across multiple prospects, and notably high recoveries observed for each of the 15 rare earth elements, our confidence in the project’s potential remains high."
