High Grade HREE + Nb Intercepts at Machinga
HIGHLIGHTS
High-grade HREE and Nb2O5 results returned from initial 11 holes of 35-hole RC program at Machinga
Main Northern Zone
Multiple +2500ppm total rare earth oxide + yttrium (“TREO”) and significant 1-2 wt% TREO assay
values
Hole MR011 intersected enriched REE mineralisation, returning a standout intercept of:
7m @ 1.42% TREO with 0.49% Nb2O5 and 546ppm Dy2O3 + Tb4O7 (3.8% DyTb:TREO) from
65m, plus 1m @ 1.17% TREO, 1.36% Nb2O5 from 119m at end of hole
Drilling confirms Machinga Main Northern Zone is particularly enriched in valuable heavy rare earths
dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb)
Results returned an average of 28% HREO:TREO and 3.5% DyTb:TREO at a cutoff grade of
>2500ppm TREO
Widespread REE intersections with assays including:
MR001: 3m @ 5638 ppm TREO, 2102 ppm Nb2O5 from 7m; including 1m @ 1.31% TREO from
8m; and 4m @ 5405 ppm TREO, 2550 ppm NB2O5 from 81m
MR002: 5m @ 7196 ppm TREO, 2706 ppm Nb2O5 from 44m, including 1m @ 1.65% TREO
from 45m; and 3m @ 4615 ppm TREO, 1553 ppm Nb2O5 from 66m, including 1m @ 1.05%TREO
from 66m
MR005: 16m @ 5399 ppm TREO, 2106 ppm Nb2O5 (3.6% DyTb:TREO) from 78m, including
3m @ 1.63% TREO, 0.7% Nb2O5 from 87m

26m
MR009: 5m @ 6175 ppm TREO, 2385 ppm Nb2O5 from 23m
MR010: 3m @ 6391 ppm TREO, 2334 ppm Nb2O5 from 40m and 10m @ 3919 ppm TREO, 1388
ppm Nb2O5 from 24m
MR011: 7m @ 1.42% TREO, 4928 ppm Nb2O5 (3.8% DyTb:TREO) from 65m; plus 1m @ 1.17%
TREO, 1.36% Nb2O5 from 119m
Remaining assays from phase one Reverse Circulation (“RC”) and Diamond Drilling (“DD”) program at
Machinga to be reported throughout Q4 2023
Heavy rare earths and niobium explorer DY6 Metals Ltd (ASX: DY6) (“DY6”, “the Company”) is pleased
to announce the receipt of initial assay results for the RC drilling program completed at the Machinga
Main Northern Anomaly, part of the Company’s flagship Machinga project in southern Malawi (Figure 1).
The results received are from 1m and 3m composite intervals from the initial 11 holes (1320m) drilled as
part of DY6’s maiden 35-hole, 3,643m RC drill program at Machinga Main Northern Zone.

Assays returned a series of significant intercepts based on a 2500 ppm total rare earth oxide + yittrium
(“TREO”) cut-off grade from the Machinga Main Northern Zone including 7m @ 1.42% TREO with 0.49%
Nb2O5 (MR011) and 16m @ 0.54% TREO with 0.21% Nb2O5 (MR005)
The mineralisation at the Machinga alkaline complex contains a higher proportion of valuable
dysprosium-terbium (DyTb) with results indicating an average 3.5% DyTb:TREO in samples
greater than 2500ppm TREO.
Assays also identified significant critical Nb2O5 potential with grades of 0.28% Nb2O5 at a cutoff
grade of 2500 ppm TREO and 0.64% Nb2O5 for samples at TREO grades greater than 1%.
A strongly mineralised hydrothermal breccia system striking NW-SE and dipping shallowly ~35° to the NE
has been confirmed by the drilling. Pleasingly, very high-grade zones have been intersected, as well as
the suggestion of the mineralised zones thickening at depth (Figure 3). Significant drill intercepts received
from the first batch of assays from the drilling program are included in Table 2.
The breccia host was not recognised until the commencement of diamond drilling; with the RC chips then
being reviewed, samples will be selected for petrography from both the core and RC drill material.
Cutting and sampling of the diamond drill core, installation of collar beacons on all RC and DD collars and
survey of the drill collars along with approximately half the historic Globe Metals and Mining (ASX: GBE)
(“GBE”) collars has been completed. Results for the remaining 24 RC holes from Machinga Main
Northern Zone are expected to be released progressively during October and the first batch of DD
assays (from eight diamond holes drilled for 900m) are expected in the December quarter.
Drilling at the Machinga Main Northern target – one of six targets identified to date within the overall
Machinga concession – aims to follow up on previous work undertaken by GBE during 2010/12.
Exploration drilling by GBE intersected strong REE mineralisation alongside the holes drilled by DY6 at
the northern end of the Machinga Main anomaly. Intercepts by GBE included 11m @ 1.0% TREO with
330ppm dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3) from 12m (MARC005), 5m @ 1.5% TREO with 596ppm Dy2O3 from
26m (MARC015) and 3m @ 2.2% TREO with 295ppm dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3) from 66m
(MARC033).
Previous trenching by GBE in 2010 included MATR001: 7m @ 1.26% TREO, MATR002: 33m @ 0.71%
TREO (inc: 11m @ 1.00% TREO with 0.46% Nb2O5) and MATR003: 15m @ 0.45% with 0.75% Nb2O5,
incl: 5m @ 0.54% TREO and 1.34% Nb2O5.

DY6 Chief Executive Officer, Lloyd Kaiser said:
“We remain enthusiastic about the future for the Machinga project as we continue developing this
exciting HREE and Nb opportunity. The phase one program, comprising 35 RC holes, forms part
of a substantial, project-wide exploration campaign at Machinga and the surrounding anomaly
zones. The initial results are showing the prospect is skewed towards abundant heavy rare earths
critical to high temperature magnets used in EV traction motors.
Phase two drilling is expected to begin before the end of the year once all assays from the phase
one program have been received and processed. On-ground exploration will continue to focus on
the geophysical targets and in particular, those areas north and south of the Machinga Main
prospect. We look forward to continuing to update the market as our exploration progresses.”

The host rocks to the mineralisation are a complex mix of syenitic intrusives relating to the nearby Malosa
pluton that have been emplaced in the basement metamorphic gneisses and migmatites. It appears the
mineralisation is hosted within hydrothermal breccias dipping at approximately 35o to the NE.
The mineralised zones (as shown in Figure 3 cross-section below) demonstrate excellent continuity with
radiometrics predicting the mineralised higher-grade zones with accuracy during drilling.

APPENDIX 1. JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1 – Machinga HREE-Nb-Ta Project
The following Tables are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) requirements for the reporting of Exploration Results at Machinga.
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section applies to all succeeding sections)
Criteria
Sampling techniques
Commentary
•
RC drilling at Machinga was to test mineralisation identified in trenching and validate historical drill results. This drilling was sampled at one metre intervals,
from which a 2-4kg sub sample was collected for laboratory multi-element analysis including: Be, Ca, Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Ga, Gd, Hf, Ho, La, Li, Lu, Nb, Nd,
P, Pr, Sm, Sn, Ta, Tb, Th, Tm, U, W, Y, Yb, Zr
Samples were tested for radioactive content using a hand-held scintillometer; based on these results, zones of apparently low grade mineralisation were
manually composited from the analytical sample split.
A scoop portion was combined into a representative 3m sample with the balance of the analytical split sample available for follow-up analysis if required.
Drilling techniques
•
•
•
•
A total of 3543m of RC drilling has been completed at Machinga in 2023, with a maximum hole depth of 120m.
The PR54R RC drilling rig was supplied by Thompson Drilling of Tete, Mozambique.
The Diamond drill rig was supplied by Thompson Drilling of Tete.
Both types of drilling were surveyed downhole using REFLEX GYRO SPRINTIQ north seeking gyroscopic units at 5m intervals.
Drill sample recovery
•
•
•
•
•

Sample recoveries were monitored by the geologist in the field during logging and sampling.
If poor recoveries were encountered, the geologist and driller endeavor to rectify the problem to ensure maximum sample recovery.
Visual assessments are made for recovery, moisture and possible contamination.
Samples were split through a rig mounted static cone splitter to obtain a representative sample, which was inspected and cleaned as required.
Samples were predominately dry, four RC holes were terminated early short of full depth due to excessive water inflows.
Insufficient data exists to determine whether a relationship exists between grade and recovery. This will be assessed when sufficient statistical data is
available.
Logging

•
•
Drill samples were geologically logged over 1m lengths intervals to an appropriate level of detail to correlate specifically with sampling.
Geological logging of drilling was quantitative in nature.
All RC drill holes were logged in full.
All diamond drill holes are being geologically logged in detail.

•
The RC drill ~30kg samples were riffle split in the field to obtain a representative sub-sample of 2-4kg.
All portions of the samples were weighted.

Samples from the RC and DDH drilling were submitted to Intertek Minerals Laboratory Services in Kitwe, Zambia for sample preparation prior to export
to Perth, Western Australia for analysis sodium peroxide fusion (DX) with hydrochloric acid digest ICP/OES or MS finish as appropriate.
At Intertek, samples were dried, then crushed to either -2mm or -10mm as appropriate. Large samples were riffle split and the excess stored. Samples
were pulverized in an enclosed unit to 85% -75micron. A 120-150gm analytical split was taken for export to Australia and the pulp residue was retained
and stored.
Elements analysed for the drill samples were: Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Ga, Gd, Hf, Ho, La, Lu, Nb, Nd, Pr, Rb, Sm, Sn, Ta, Tb, Th, Tm, U, Y, Yb, Zr.
A field duplicate, blank (silica sand) and a CRM (certified reference material) were inserted approximately every 20 samples for the drilling samples.
CRM codes were recorded to maintain on-going quality assurance and acceptable levels of accuracy and precision.
Three separate CRM were utilised of low, medium and high REE content in a rolling sequence during drilling.

Drillhole collars were surveyed using DGPS on completion of the program by a licensed surveyor.
The grid system used is UTM Zone 36S, WGS 84.
Approximately 50% of the historical drill collars were located and re-surveyed to ensure coherency between both phases of drilling.
