Commencement of Maiden Auger Drilling at Central
HIGHLIGHTS
Auger Drilling underway: DY6 has commenced an initial 91-hole auger drilling programme at the Central Rutile Project, focused on the Bounde and Nganda licences. This program follows the identification of high-grade rutile and Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) mineralisation from surface and aims to fast-track delineation of priority zones.
Proven High-Grade Targets: With multiple indicators confirming prospectivity – including historic BRGM mapping of a 70km x 15km high-grade residual rutile zone, course rutile nuggets grading up to 97.5% TiO₂1, and shallow auger intercepts such as 1.35m @ 0.84% rutile - DY6 is accelerating exploration in Cameroon.
High-grade rutile from surface: shallow reconnaissance auger drilling at Bounde returned high-grade rutile from surface:2
0.8m @ 0.66% rutile (2.81% HM) from 0m (GRMAU0010)
1.35m @ 0.84% rutile (1.23% HM) from 0m (GRMAU0013)
Fast-Tracked Exploration Timeline: Early mobilisation at Central Rutile Project will reduce the lag between auger results from the recent 24-hole programme at Alamba/Nsimbo (expected in 5 weeks) and auger results from Bounde and Nganda. This approach accelerates future resource definition across high-confidence targets.
Strategic Expansion and Capability: DY6’s strengthened in-country team and recently secured a warehouse for a dedicated HMS laboratory to support continuous drilling through 2025, ensuring rapid turnaround and sustained exploration momentum.
Targeting Depth Extensions: Equipped with tungsten carbide-reinforced auger drills, the program will probe deeper into the weathering profile to test for continuity of high-grade rutile mineralisation at depth, complementing the confirmed high-grade surface results.
