Cameroon HMS & Rutile
ASX:DY6
Acquisition of highly prospective Rutile & HMS projects in
Cameroon
• Binding agreement to acquire a 100% interest in two, large Rutile
and Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) projects in Cameroon*
• The Central Rutile Project is a prime land holding within an
emerging, globally significant rutile province in Central Cameroon
• The Project borders, and is underlain by the same geology as, Peak
Minerals’ (ASX:PUA) Minta Project, and is prospective for potential
residual, saprolite-hosted rutile deposits analogous to Sovereign
Metals’ (ASX:SVM) Tier 1 Kasiya rutile deposit in Malawi
• The Douala Basin Project contains known palaeo-placer coastline
sand deposits with visible VHM (rutile and zircon) present
• Historical sonic drilling at Douala by Eramet delivered significant
HMS intercepts from the Diwong licence,
• Engagement of experienced mining executive Cliff Fitzhenry (ex-Rio
Tinto, Sovereign Metals) as technical consultant to help oversee
exploration at Central and Douala Basin
• Reconnaissance mapping and hand auger drilling to be undertaken
immediately at the Central Rutile Project
* Summary of the transaction terms are contained in the Annexure
DY6’s recently acquired HMS projects in Cameroon
4
Douala Basin Project
Historically drill tested HM mineralized dunes
•
The Douala Basin HMS Project consists of 3 granted exploration permits
and 3 exploration permits under valid applications.
•
The Edea Sud licence is a fully granted permit covering an area of
440km² whilst the 5 licence applications cover an area of 2,140km²
giving the total project package a land endowment of 2,580km² across
the Douala Basin of Western Cameroon.
•
The tenements are all located within 50km of the deep-water port city
of Douala.
•
Geologically the Douala Basin is a coastal sedimentary basin consisting
of a package of mainly marine sedimentary formations of Cretaceous to
Quaternary in age. Thick, preserved sequences of sandy material are
known to exist across the tenement package and these are thought to
represent palaeo-placer coastline dune deposits.
•
The Diwong licence was previously known as the Missole Project which
was held by the French multinational Eramet. Eramet drilled some 60
sonic holes on the Project for 1,080m (582 samples) with 39 hand auger
holes for 190m (39 samples) specially targeting rutile and zircon.
•
Historical sonic drilling at Douala by Eramet delivered significant
intercepts from the Diwong licence, including:
•
10m @ 5.0% THM from surface (DIB_S00024)
•
12m @ 4.7% THM from surface (DIB_S00018)
•
7.7m @ 4.0% THM from surface (DIB_S00022)
•
18m @ 3.7% THM from surface, ending in mineralisation (DIB_S00010)

Central Rutile Project
Potential for world-class saprolite hosted rutile
deposits
ASX:DY6
• The Central Rutile Project consists of 5 exploration
permits under valid applications covering 2,140km²
across an area rapidly emerging as a globally significant
rutile province within Central Cameroon.
• The Project area is predominately underlain by a
bedrock of kyanite-bearing mica schist which is thought
to be the primary source of the rutile which is then
concentrated and upgraded in the overlying saprolite
material during the in-situ weathering process. This
forms an in-situ, eluvial saprolite hosted rutile deposit
target type 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).
• 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%)
*Refer to PUA ASX announcement dated 4 February 2025 for further details
DY6’s Central Rutile Project comprises 5 licence blocks
which border Peak Mineral’s Minta Project in Central
Cameroon

Why Rutile?
Most valuable titanium mineral
ASX:DY6
• Rutile is highly sought-after by end users as it is the
purest, highest-grade naturally occurring form of
titanium. Titanium serves a range of industrial
markets due to its remarkable properties.
• Titanium is highly corrosion resistant and chemically
inert while offering a high strength-to-weight ratio. In
its form as titanium dioxide, titanium feedstock is
also essential for pigment manufacturing, for example
in paints and paper. Titanium is used extensively in
aerospace, defence, healthcare, and technology
applications, due to its inherent properties.
• With the ongoing depletion of reserves of existing
operations as well as declining ore grades, global
rutile supply is projected to decline sharply. Outside
of Sovereign Metals’ Kasiya Rutile Project in Malawi
there are limited new deposits forecast to come
online in the near term.
8
Cameroon – Next steps
ASX:DY6
• The Company proposes to undertake further due
diligence on the Central and Douala Basin
Projects, including compilation and analysis of all
available historical data and preliminary
reconnaissance work at the Project sites, ahead of
an initial exploration program.
• The first phase of exploration will comprise
detailed geological mapping of the defined
exploration targets, along with hand auger drilling
across defined targets. The Company will also
commence engagement with relevant Government
authorities, regional stakeholders and local
communities regarding the planned exploration
programs.

High Grade Gallium Potential
High-grade gallium mineralisation from surface at Tundulu
•
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. 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
