Completion of reconnaissance program with further
natural rutile observed at the Central Rutile Project
HIGHLIGHTS
▪
Reconnaissance sampling programme has successfully been completed at the
Central Rutile Project
▪
The reconnaissance sampling programme identified visible natural rutile from
both alluvial and eluvial (residual) sources
▪
At the Bounde licence, the Company has identified a new area with large
residual natural rutile nuggets (2-4cm+). HM and residual rutile mineralisation
now observed over 100km2
▪
The identification of rutile across the entire tenement package is highly
encouraging and reaffirms the Company’s belief that the region is an emerging,
globally significant rutile province
▪
Samples collected from the reconnaissance program are being submitted for
laboratory analysis in Cape Town, South Africa, with results expected in the
September quarter
▪
Exploration at the Central Rutile Project will now move to the next phase with a
systematic soil sampling programme which will be used to rapidly identify areas
of higher-grade residual rutile mineralisation
DY6 Metals Ltd (ASX: DY6, “DY6” or “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of
the reconnaissance exploration program at the Central Rutile Project, Cameroon. Desktop
studies incorporating detailed geological mapping, geophysics, and known mineral
occurrences, were used to define initial, high priority targets for ground-truthing. The
reconnaissance programme, which consisted of auger sampling, road-cutting channel
sampling, soil sampling and stream sediment sampling, was successful in identifying heavy
mineral (HM) and natural rutile mineralisation across all five tenements that make up the
Central Rutile project.
Rutile nuggets, ranging in size from 1mm+ to 4cm+, were observed in alluvial and eluvial
(residual) sources on all the Company’s 5 licence applications. Samples collected from the
programme are currently being prepared for dispatch to the Company’s laboratory for analysis
in Cape Town, South Africa, with results expected in August 2025.
Cautionary Statement: The visual representation of heavy mineral (HM) and rutile
mineralisation shown in this release is based on preliminary visual reconnaissance with no
sampling results. Assay results are pending and have not yet been verified through laboratory
analysis and expected in August 2025. Investors are cautioned that the information is
indicative only and should not be relied upon as a definitive measure of mineralisation or
economic potential. Further exploration and analytical testing are required to confirm the
extent, grade, and economic viability of the mineralisation
Technical Consultant, Cliff Fitzhenry, commented: “It was great to be on the ground with the
Company’s technical team over the last week to observe the incredible potential of the Central
Rutile project. The reconnaissance programme has been a great success, having identified
visual HM and rutile mineralisation across each licence. What we have uncovered at the
Bounde licence is particularly exciting. I have never seen rutile nuggets of this size before.
We have moved to planning of a regional soil sampling programme across the Central Rutile
project, which will commence shortly, and which should be completed within the next couple
of months. We’re looking forward to the commencement of the programme and believe it will
unlock areas of higher-grade residual rutile mineralisation.”
Completion of reconnaissance exploration program at the Central Rutile
Project
As announced on 5 June 2025, the Company undertook reconnaissance auger and grab
sampling programmes at the Central Rutile and Douala Basin HMS projects, Cameroon. At
the Central Rutile Project, the Company has completed a further 9 auger drill holes (refer
Figure 1), collecting 22 samples in the process, as well as collecting 44 channel samples from
8 road cutting exposures, 13 surface grab samples and 3 stream sediment samples for
analysis (refer Tables 1-4).

Background on the Projects
Central
The Central Rutile Project consists of 5 exploration permits (Nganda, Bounde, Kombo, Alamba
and Nsimbo) under valid applications covering 2,140km2 across an area rapidly emerging as
a globally significant rutile province within Central Cameroon. The project area is
predominantly underlain by kyanite-bearing mica schist bedrock, which is considered the
primary source of rutile. During in-situ weathering, rutile is liberated from the bedrock and
progressively concentrated and upgraded within the overlying saprolite layer. This forms an
in-situ, eluvial saprolite hosted rutile deposit target type deposit analogous to Sovereign
Metal’s Tier 1 Kasiya deposit in Malawi (the world’s largest primary rutile deposit at 1.8 billion
tons at 1.0% rutile).
The exploration model further proposes that subsequent erosion and fluvial transport rework
these materials, concentrating rutile and other valuable heavy minerals into alluvial deposits.
Historical production figures from the area between 1935 and 1955 have recorded some
15,000 tons of high purity (>95 %) rutile being produced from artisanal mining of the alluvial
deposits around Nanga-Eboko. The Central Rutile Project borders Peak Mineral’s Minta Rutile
Project where initial sampling has revealed widespread, high-value mineral assemblages with
valuable heavy minerals (VHM) up to 93% of total heavy minerals (THM) and with the
dominant VHM’s being rutile (up to 69.8%), monazite (up to 35.6%) and zircon (up to 21.5%)
(see PUA Announcement “First systematic exploration programme discovers significant rutile
province in Cameroon” dated 4 February 2025).

Project in Central Cameroon.

Criteria
Sampling Techniques
JORC Code explanation
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes,
or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for
fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Drilling techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc)
Auger drilling
•
Vertical hand auger drilling conducted using a manually rotated auger with
75 mm and 100mm diameter bit.
•
Drilling continued until blade refusal.
•
Maximum hole depth varied by terrain (generally <9 m).
•
No drilling fluids, casing, or downhole equipment used.
•
Drilling suitable for near-surface geochemical sampling.
Drill sample recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Auger Drilling
•
Hand auger drilling does not provide continuous core; recovery is based on
volume retrieved per 1m interval.
•
Sample quality and recovery were monitored in the field and deemed
acceptable; any compromised samples were noted and excluded if necessary.
•
No specific measures (e.g., twin holes, weights, or drilling additives) were used
to improve recovery, as hand auger is a basic geochemical technique.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
