OD6 Metals Limited has discovered a new high-grade fluorspar zone at the North Horseshoe Canyon target within the Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada, USA, with reconnaissance rock-chip assays returning up to 60.0% CaF2.

Additional rock-chip results from the outcropping mineralisation returned grades of 57.3%, 51.0%, 21.4%, and 18.5% CaF2. The fluorspar mineralisation outcrops over a strike length of approximately 100 metres at North Horseshoe Canyon and remains open beneath cover to the north. Geological interpretation indicates the mineralised structure may continue for roughly 750 metres northeast beneath a lithocap toward the Big Jim deposit.

The discovery lies approximately 450 metres northwest of the Horseshoe deposit, establishing an additional prospective linking corridor. Because the Saw Mill Thrust outcrops at both Big Jim and North Horseshoe Canyon with high-grade mineralisation at each location, the full thrust corridor between Horseshoe and Big Jim spans an estimated 1.5-kilometre target area.

OD6 Metals holds 100% ownership of 226 mining claims covering approximately 1,890 hectares at the project through its wholly owned subsidiary U.S. Fluorspar LLC. The Quinn Fluorspar Project contains over 20 known fluorspar occurrences along an 8-kilometre mineralised corridor, supporting a planned hub-and-spoke development strategy.

“North Horseshoe Canyon is a strategically important discovery because of where it sits and what it tells us about the wider mineralised system. While the rock-chip assays of up to 60.0% CaF₂ are impressive, their real significance is the identification of high-grade fluorspar in the intervening ground between Horseshoe and Big Jim, where our geological targeting model indicated it could occur.”

“Rather than viewing these as isolated occurrences, we now have stronger geological evidence supporting an approximately 1.5km prospective corridor from Horseshoe through North Horseshoe Canyon to Big Jim and Spar.”

— Brett Hazelden, Managing Director

The company awaits U.S. Forest Service approval of its submitted Plan of Operations proposing up to 139 drill pads for maiden drilling and bulk sampling at the project. OD6 Metals plans to execute a maiden drilling program targeting mineralised lodes beneath North Horseshoe Canyon, the lithocap corridor to Big Jim, and the Horseshoe linkage.
