Check out our latest write up on OD6 Metals as they move to create shareholder value with the introduction of the Gulf Creek Copper project in New South Wales, Australia. As the ASX market keeps destroying shareholder value in the company, this is a divergent from the Rare Earth storyline. Is this a good move or a temporary fix to a solid bearish sentiment for the company? Head to Samso and check it out: https://lnkd.in/gX_tww2g

OD6 Metals has released an investor presentation to be delivered by Managing Director Brett Hazelden at the company's AGM today. The presentation describes the exploration opportunity available at the newly acquired #GulfCreek Copper Project in NSW, which was home to one of Australia's highest grade historical copper mines which operated between 1896-1912 and has seen little exploration activity since. The presentation also covers the work completed over the year at the #SplinterRock REE Project - Australia's largest and highest grade clay-hosted rare earths project.

📌OD6 Metals (ASX: OD6) - New potential high-grade #VMS #copper targets at #GulfCreek in NSW.✨ 📢Brett Hazelden, Managing Director, commented: “Today’s geophysical results underline the significant, underexplored potential at scale, which exists across the historic Gulf Creek mine area. Gulf Creek has a strong magnetic association with high-grade copper in the massive magnetite-sulphide unit. Airborne magnetic surveys can reliably detect significant accumulations of magnetic material sub-surface and indicates compelling targets exist. As such OD6 is finalising the Phase 1 drill program scheduled to commence early next quarter. The modelling is an example of the new technologies that OD6 is bringing to bear on the historic Gulf Creek Mine and we look forward to the deploying similar geophysical modelling across the regional land package to drive high priority target generation. “ Highlights: • Geophysical modelling has identified multiple, high priority, walk up targets - and highlights the potential for extensional and repeat high-grade VMS structures at Gulf Creek • Historic Gulf Creek mine workings are coincident with a highly-magnetic core >100m long from surface to depths >250m • Big Bend Target – very high magnetism & coincident IP chargeability from near surface to depths >550m • NW Target – intense magnetism over 400m x 80m modelled from near-surface to depths >400m • Deep Magnetic Target – a large body magnetic body >650 x 350m footprint at depth • Further field work, sampling and planning is underway with Phase 1 drilling planned next quarter 🔑 Gulf Creek holds immense promise as a potential site for hosting a substantial, high-grade copper-zinc (Cu-Zn) mineral system.

#OD6Metals #OD6 #Geologist #Copper PART TWO: A geologist’s tale to a historic copper mine: rediscovering something special (click my profile for PART ONE) That night, in the pub in Barraba, I fired up the National Library website. This is a ‘trove’ of information and commonly used by the historian—less so by the geologist. Three hundred historic reports on Gulf Creek were a lot more than I expected. An article from 1901, by an unnamed correspondent, I wonder if was perhaps AB ‘Banjo’ Paterson – he was a journalist in these parts back then, being inspired for Clancy of the Overflow. He wrote, “After driving through sixteen feet of country rock, impregnated with metallic copper, a lode of black sulphide ore was struck averaging twelve per cent copper, which, without a doubt, is one of the finest copper lodes found in Australia.” Less now, of the romanticism of a bygone era. We can bring modern exploration technologies to bear. I am excited about Gulf Creek—the copper mine that history forgot. No effective drilling, a hand-full of assays—including very high grade. Not even a soil survey and certainly not an EM survey. Yet like all discoveries, it starts with a geo or prospector walking into the bush. Not drilled yet, but will be soon. I believe in this one. 

#OD6Metals #OD6 #Geologist #Copper PART ONE: A geologist’s tale of a historic copper mine: rediscovering something special. I must admit, as I headed alone into the southwestern New England Orogen, to look at a historic copper showing, I was not expecting much. It was probably going to be the type of old digging common across NSW. A hail to another time, with a jetsam of wood and iron pickets clustered around an old shaft scrape. Wrongly anticipating the geology will be likely skinny and the site likely to be unkempt, where recent campers leave broken bottles around old campfires. We have all been there. Where we imagine fallen fortunes and heartache of lost-dreams played out in the Picturesque paintings.  An old iron bark had fallen across the track: I parked the rental and climbed over it. Head down, as us geologists like to walk—looking for rocks and snakes. The first I came across, pink tinged and fine-grained. Hard enough that it took three hammer blows to crack a fresh face.  My hand-lens revealed some sulphide, and was that a little chalco? I had seen this before, in North American VMS systems and most recently in the Capricorn Basins in WA, following Franco Pirajno’s Noonyereena Member looking for Degrussas. Then the real metal—well what used to be. A large boulder of gossan had tumbled down the hill. Climbing the hill I found the first shaft. The drop test, hmmm that’s quite deep. Hanging wall sediments, riddled also with small veins of chalco weathering slowing into the green of malachite. Walking the line of lodes I eventually reached the main shaft – farther than what I thought. And ratchetting through the spoil and along the tramway, looking for ore that fell off a cart, it was there—massive sulphide with chalcopyrite and sphalerite. And then something more unusual—a massive black rock. It was magnetite with bands of chalcopyrite. Two mineralisation styles—alike yet distinct and both high-grade. The stratigraphy and sequence, the mineralisation—not skinny and unkempt but bold and beautiful.  Two mineralisation styles—a long lived and evolved hydrothermal system perhaps spewing its riches on the seafloor ~300 million years ago. This is a genuine volcanogenic massive sulphide system, perhaps the only one I know of that is untested in Australia. I wondered if this was my moment, like those in the geochemistry and geophysics revolution of the 1960s-1980s—following subtle trails of soils to gossans; or spudding holes into hand-drawn contours from EM readings. From Golden Grove to Kidd Creek, great fortunes have been made. There is magnetite-copper association in both of those world-class mines too!
