| contents | We report the synthesis and physical properties of the new compound YNiSn$_2$, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic \textit{Cmcm} structure. The material exhibits semimetallic behavior and develops a giant positive magnetoresistance approaching 1200\% at $B = 16$ T. Pronounced de Haas-van Alphen and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations reveal a dominant quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surface with an exceptionally small cyclotron effective mass of $m^{*} = 0.08 m{0}$, indicating light carriers and a tiny Fermi surface pocket. The strong anisotropy revealed by Shubnikov-de Haas quantum oscillation measurements highlights the low-dimensional electronic character of YNiSn$_2$, positioning it as a promising Dirac semimetal candidate. |
