Abstract  Magnetic transitions and magnetoresistance effect of the HfFe$_6$Ge$_6$-type Y$_{0.9}$La$_{0.1}$Mn$_6$Sn$_6$ compound have been investigated in the temperature range of 5-380K. The sample displays antiferromagnetic behaviour in the whole temperature range below Néel temperature $T_{\rm N}=309$K. The metamagnetic transition from antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism can be induced by an applied field. The metamagnetic transition field decreases monotonically from 2T at 5K to 0.4T at 300K. The giant magnetoresistance effect is observed with the metamagnetic behaviour, such as -10.4% at 245K under a field of 5T.
