High Grade Gallium Potential discovered at
Tundulu Project
HIGHLIGHTS
•
In addition to high-grade rare earths and phosphate, a review of historical drill results
at Tundulu has identified the presence of high-grade gallium (Ga) mineralisation
from surface
•
Significant intercepts include:
o
74m at 93.26g/t Ga2O3, 1.56% TREO from 72m, including 14m at 202.79g/t
Ga2O3 from 89m (TU043), and the highest grade in all assays intersected
within this interval at 310.46 g/t Ga2O3, 5.68% TREO from 97m to 98m
o
53m at 72.79g/t Ga2O3, 1.02% TREO from surface, including 12m at
145.07g/t Ga2O3 from 25m (TU011)
o
30m at 94.63g/t Ga2O3, 4.03% TREO from surface (TU014)
o
41m at 64.98g/t Ga2O3, 1.61% TREO from 67m, including 8m at 178.94g/t
Ga2O3 from 100m (TU033)
o
25m at 64.63g/t Ga2O3, 1.03% TREO from 45m, including 9m at 81.85g/t
Ga2O3 from 61m (TU008)
•
Only ~40% of the highly prospective area has ever been drill-tested. The target
areas include Nathace and Tundulu hills (Figures 1 & 2, & Table 1)
•
Gallium mineralisation is open at depth (Figure 4). Though some of the elevated
Ga2O3 responses occur within the saprolite clays (TU014: 0-30m; 30m @ 94.63ppm
Ga2O3), others occur at depth within fresh rock (TU043: 72-146m; 74m @ 93.26ppm)
or TU043: 89-103m; 14m @ 202.79ppm Ga2O3. Deeper gallium potential has not yet
been assayed for.
•
Gallium prices have materially increased in recent years, primarily driven by growing
demand in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Raw gallium supply is
overwhelmingly dominated by China
•
Preliminary metallurgical testwork on bulk samples from Tundulu is ongoing, with
results due in coming weeks
DY6 Metals Ltd (ASX: DY6, “DY6” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that a review of
historical drilling at the Tundulu Rare Earth and Phosphate project, Malawi, has uncovered
high-grade gallium mineralisation. Significant gallium mineralisation has been identified from
surface.

High Grade Gallium Potential at Tundulu
Historical diamond and RC drilling, conducted during 2014 by Mota Engil Minerals & Mining
was assayed for gallium. A total of 4901 assays for gallium were completed with 27.7% of the
assays containing >40 g/t Ga2O3. Samples from drillholes JMT01 to JMT024 (Figure 2) from
previous drilling by Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in 1980 were not
analysed for Gallium.
Significant intersections have been calculated from the significant TREO intersections of
grade of >5,000ppm over 5 metres in DY6 announcement of 27th May 2024, and the Ga2O3
results in conjunction with the TREO intersections are shown in Appendix 1.

Figure 3 is a plot of Ga2O3 vs TREO showing the positive relationship between the two
components; the trend lines suggest further research on the relative contents of individual
lithologies is required.

Preliminary Metallurgical Testwork
As announced 17 October 2024, DY6 has commissioned preliminary metallurgical testwork to
be undertaken on a select bulk sample from Tundulu to determine the suitability of the Tundulu
deposit to produce a separate rare earth and phosphate concentrate, which is being
undertaken by Auralia Metallurgy in Perth. Further testwork is ongoing and will be announced
in due course.

Competent Persons Statement
The Information in this announcement that relates to exploration results, mineral resources or ore
reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Allan Younger, who is a Member of the Australasian
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Younger is a consultant of the Company. Mr Younger has sufficient
experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and
to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of
the `Australian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the
JORC Code). Mr Younger consents to the inclusion of this information in the form and context in which
it appears in this announcement. Mr Younger holds shares in the Company.
Mr Younger has not yet visited the site or conducted an in-depth due diligence of the data presented in
this announcement. Mr Younger confirms the information in this market announcement is an accurate
representation of the available data for the exploration areas mentioned herein, but that further
investigation is ongoing.
Cautionary Statement
Information is this release is considered as historical by nature, and while all care has been taken to
review previous reports and available literature, ground testing and confirmation work is yet to be
completed by the Company. The historical laboratory analysis was conducted on a range of drill core
by reputable laboratories in South Africa. However, there is no guarantee that these results are
representative of the Tundulu deposit until further sampling, drilling, assaying and processing test work
is conducted by the Company. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or
data that materially affects the information included in the announcement.
As the historical data was used by the operating company of the time to complete internal resource
work and scoping studies, this indicates their confidence in the data quality. As such, DY6 believes the
data to be of good quality and reliable.

Annexure A: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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.
Sampling
• Aspects of the determination of
techniques
mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple
(e.g. ‘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
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, openhole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. 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).
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results asses
• 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.
Commentary
•
•
•

•
Reverse Circulation and diamond core
drilling samples from 2014 were sent as
1m intervals or were composited to
either 2m or 3m intervals based on
their radiometric character and HHXRF
contents.
All procedures were claimed to be
industry standard.
Drilling was sited on a radial basis
around the circular intrusion to best
obtain representative samples of
geology and mineralisation.
No recent drilling is utilised on this
program or reported in this
announcement.
Previous exploration included 2874m of
diamond and 6172m of RC drilling.
Specifics of hammer type and core
diameter is not recorded within
available information.
Not recorded in historic data.
The Company is not able to verify
sample recoveries and hence if any bias
exists.
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.
• The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Subsampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling
is representative of the in situ material
collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is considered
partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied
and their derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
Verification
of sampling
and assaying
• The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
•
Qualitative geological logging of core
and RC samples was completed in the
field.
•
Specific sampling procedures were not
recorded in available information.
The core is understood to have been
halved and the RC samples riffle split
based on personal communications
with field staff present.
•
•
•
•
•
Historical analyses are defined only as
being ICP; digestion methods are not
specified in available data. Additional
research is required.
Control duplicates, blanks and
standards were inserted every 20
samples and comprise 12% of samples
analysed.
The control samples indicate acceptable
levels of accuracy and repeatability.
Historical drilling data has been
reported in this announcement.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Location of
data points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and other
locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
•
•
•
Data spacing
and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate
for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have

No recent drilling is utilised on this
program or reported in this
announcement.
Historic RC and Diamond collars were
DGPS located.
The drilling was sited on radial sections
to a circular intrusion; at the point of
collaring holes are nominally on
sections 35m apart and 30m apart on
section.
This allows coherent correlation of
lithological units and mineralisation.
Mineralised samples were not
composited.
Samples were composited over 2m or
3m intervals if their radiometric
response and HHXRF contents indicated
them to be barren or low-grade
material.
Not recorded.
The historic core is reportedly missing
and presumably destroyed.
The drilling was sited on radial sections
to the circular intrusion, the drilling
approaches being perpendicular to the
known igneous layering and
mineralisation.

Security procedures are unknown but
assumed to be in line with industry
standard.

No audit of data has been completed to
date.

Criteria
Mineral
tenement
and land
tenure status
JORC Code explanation
• Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint
ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.
• The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.
Commentary
• The Tundulu Exploration Licence,
Reference No: EL0731/24 was granted
on 27th May 2024 and valid for 3 years
with an option to renew. The licence is
held under Green Exploration Limited, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of DY6 Metals.
There are no known impediments to
operation in the project area.

9 drillholes, ANG01 to ANG09 (Figure 2)
with a meterage of a total meterage of
260m were drilled by M.S. Garson of
the Geological Survey Department of
the then Nyasaland. These were drilled
on behalf of Anglo-American
Corporation.
Historical exploration is known to have
been conducted by JICA (Japanese
International Cooperation Agency) from
1988-91. JICA drilled 27 vertical
diamond drillholes JMT01 to JMT027
(Figure 2) with a total meterage of
1350m and were drilled to a maximum
of 50m. These holes were not analysed
for gallium mineralisation. Full details
are being researched.
The Tundulu licence area was explored
for REE and phosphate potential by
Mota Engil Minerals & Mining during
2014/15. Most of the known
exploration data has been obtained by
DY6 however further review and
investigation will be required.
Small scale phosphate mining also is
understood to have been undertaken by
Optichem Malawi Ltd in and around
2014.
A full literature search continues to be
undertaken by DY6 staff to acquire all
relevant data.
Tundulu is a carbonatite ring complex
forming part of the Chilwa Alkaline
Province in southern Malawi. The
geological structure of the Tundulu Ring
Complex comprises of three igneous
centres. The first comprises a circular
aureole of fenitization about a 2 km
diameter plug of syenite. The second
carbonatite ring structure centred on
Nathace Hill has a diameter of 500600m. Wrench faulting prior to
emplacement of the third centre
displaced the western half of the
Nathace Hill ring structure 250m to the
north. The third centre comprises small
plugs and thin sheets of metanephelinite and beforsite.

Drill hole
Information
• A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why
this is the case.
•
Data
aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
