✦ Brett Hazelden, Managing Director and CEO of OD6 Metals Limited (ASX: OD6) brings the low-down on the highly anticipated Mineral Resource Estimate.
Brett is here to show how the company is moving forward with their REE story. The recent release of the mineral resource by OD6 is a significant milestone, as it provides tangible evidence of their commitment to delivering value to shareholders.
Read their ASX Announcement below on 18 July 2023
Splinter Rock Rare Earth Project Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate - 344MTR @ 1,308ppm TREO at a 1,000ppm cut off.
The recent announcement is a positive step in confirming the existence of the resource and its "good" grade. However, it's important to note that there is still limited factual evidence on the exact grade that will be viable.
Highlights from interview
Brett's emphasis on the technical challenges involved in extraction is a good sign. During the Coffee with Samso interview, Brett highlights the significance of the high grade nature of the Splinter Rock Resource. In our industry, we often say "Grade is King" for a reason. The chosen cut off grade sets a baseline requirement for OD6 to make the project economically viable.
It's worth noting that the current resource of 344MT @1,308ppm TREO represents only 5% of the total potential in the Splinter Rock project. This means that OD6 Metals still has a significant upside and room for growth.
There are lots of nuggets to take away in this conversation, and Mr. Hazelden is not one to shy away from telling the market about the challenges out there. He also goes into the technical side of things to explain why the market needs to understand that there are many factors that go into a leachable product. For serious investors out there who well know Samso's style, this is yet another great opportunity to Do Your Own Research. So put on that DYOR thinking cap and tune in to OD6's REE story now.
