- OD6 Metals (OD6) wraps up drilling at the Grass Patch project in Western Australia
- OD6 completed a maiden aircore drilling program, which confirmed thick saprolite clay horizons, with samples currently being assayed for rare earth elements
- Results from this program will be used to determine the focus of future drilling and are expected to be received this quarter.
- With the Grass Patch program complete, the drill rig and exploration team are in the process of shifting to Splinter Rock to complete a 71-hole program

OD6 Metals (OD6) has wrapped up drilling at the Grass Patch critical rare earth minerals project in Western Australia.
The company completed a maiden 93-hole aircore drilling program for 3399 metres, at an average depth of 36.5 metres.
The program confirmed thick saprolite clay horizons, with samples currently being assayed for rare earth elements.
OD6 said it’s now compiling and reviewing recorded drill hole logging data to enable detailed mapping of clay depth and thickness.
Results from this program will be used to determine the focus for future drilling programs and are expected to be received this quarter.
With the Grass Patch program now complete, the drill rig and exploration team are in the process of shifting to Splinter Rock to complete a 71-hole, 200 metre-spaced drill program.
Here, they will test the localised variability of clay thickness and grades to determine optimal drill spacing for a future mineral resource estimate.
Drilling at Splinter Rock is expected to wrap up in late February, with assays available during 2023’s second quarter.
0D6 Metals shares were up 6.06 per cent to trade at 35 cents at 11:40 am AEDT.
