DY6 Stakes Extremely Potential REE Carbonatite Job in Malawi

2020 total requirement 131,500t rare earth oxide

REEs are likewise vital to the production of gadgets such as mobile phones, providing context to the news that together with other crucial minerals such as lithium and cobalt, worldwide need for REEs is anticipated to increase by as much as 600 percent over the next a number of years

It is clear the world requires to increase uncommon earths production– a difficulty DY6 Metals (ASX: DY6) comprehends. This mineral expedition business holds a 100-percent interest in 3 extremely potential crucial metals jobs in Malawi. As one of the most steady jurisdictions in Southern Africa, Malawi is home to substantial mineral wealth– a reality which, together with its mining-friendly federal government, have actually seen the nation delight in considerable mining financial investments over current years.

DY6 Metals Project Locations

Maiden drilling is currently underway at the business’s flagship Machinga Heavy Rare Earth Job together with prepare for additional expedition. Long-lasting, DY6’s technique is to increase investor worth through high-impact drilling and resource delineation.

Therefore far, this technique seems working.

Machinga Project

Found within the Chilwa Alkaline Province (the exact same province that hosts Lindian’s Kangankunde task), Machinga is DY6’s flagship task. The initial expedition license, covering 42.9 square kilometers, was gotten because of uranium channel radiometric abnormalities found by a country-wide air-borne study in the 1980s. The abnormality present in Machinga is constant along a strike of approximately 7 kilometers.

Job Emphasizes:

  • Near-surface Mineralization: Machinga hosts state-of-the-art, near-surface heavy uncommon earth oxides along with niobium, tantalum and zirconium capacity.
  • Promising Abnormalities: The nature of the Machinga radiometric abnormalities shows that there is considerable capacity for DY6 to find extra REE mineralization throughout the larger task location.
  • Area: The Machinga Job lies along the Lilongwe-Zomba highway and is located simply north of the town of Zomba.
  • Location Geology: Geologically, the complex in which the Machinga Job lies is specified by a big alkaline complex that intrudes Proterozoic basement gneisses, granulites and amphibolite. The task location itself is controlled by a big syenite pluton and consists of a variety of smaller sized invasions and pegmatites.
  • Drill Outcomes: Arise from a 2010 drill program at Machinga North, itself among 6 targets in the location, consisted of:
    • MARC005
      • 11 meters at 1 percent overall uncommon earth oxide (TREO) with 330 parts per million (ppm) dysprosium oxide (from 12 meters), consisting of;
      • 4 meters at 1.4 percent TREO with 492 ppm dysprosium oxide (from 19 meters)
    • MARC015
      • 5 meters at 1.5 percent TREO with 596 ppm dysprosium oxide (from 26 meters), consisting of;
      • 1 meter at 2.5 percent TREO with 971 ppm dysprosium oxide (from 27 meters)
    • A heavy uncommon earth oxide (HREO): TREO ratio with a peak of 39 percent and approximately 33 percent.
    • A dysprosium oxide: TREO ratio with a peak of 3.9 percent and approximately 3.3 percent.
    • The target is specifically abundant in dysprosium and terbium. It likewise consists of considerable thulium, ytterbium and lutetium outcomes.
  • Trench Outcomes: Trenching carried out in 2010 returned 33 meters @ 0.71 percent TREO, Inc.: 11 meters @ 1 percent TREO with 0.46 percent Nb2O5 (MATR002)
Salambidwe Project

Straddling the Malawi-Mozambique border, the Salambidwe task covers a location of 24.9 square kilometers, related to the Salambidwe Ring Complex, which is understood for hosting numerous significant carbonate deposits. Geology in the location is likewise related to high radiometric worths, generally related to REE mineralization.

Job Emphasizes:

  • Substantial Possible: The Salambidwe task is a virgin uncommon earth carbonate possibility. While no drilling has actually occurred at the task, rock-chip samples returned 2.05 percent TREO consisting of 214 ppm dysprosium oxide.
  • Location Geology: With a size of roughly 6 kilometers, the Salambidwe Ring Complex is mainly syenite and nepheline syenite with an agglomerate rock core. Based upon this geology, the task has the prospective to host any of the following: copper, iron, titanium, niobium, thorium, uranium, REE, barium, phosphorus and fluorine.
Ngala Hill Project

Positioned simply east of the Thyolo Fault, the Ngala Hill Job’s zone of mineralization consists of a strong magnetic anomaly a sign of an oxidized invasive. Like Salambidwe, Ngala Hill is a reasonably fresh property. It has actually not been the target of any considerable modern-day expedition efforts, though the arise from historic works are nonetheless appealing.

Job Emphasizes:

  • Several Mineralization Zones: Ngala Hill’s deposit takes the type of an ultramafic chonolith that intrudes onto an underlying Proterozoic Basement Complex quartz feldspar-amphibole gneisses. The chonolith is likewise cut by Karoo-age dolerite dykes. Presently, DY6 has actually determined 3 zones of palladium-rich palladium-platinum-gold-copper mineralization worthwhile of follow-up.
  • Promising Historic Outcomes: After trenching the deposit in 2000, Phelps Dodge determined the following mineralization:
    • 12 meters at 3 grams per load (g/t) platinum group components (PGE)+ gold
    • 70 meters at 1.12 g/t PGE+ gold, consisting of 8 meters at 3.3 g/t PGE+ gold
  • Existence of Enormous Sulphides: Historic expedition has actually determined enormous sulphides with grades of as much as 4 g/t palladium+ platinum+ gold and 0.7 percent copper in saprolite/saprock.
  • Close Distance to Significant Facilities: Ngala Hill lies near the Nacala rail/port passage, with simple access to grid power.
