- Regional drilling activities to date have tested 130km 2, which is <10% of the total Project Holding.
- Drilling has defined three high -grade clay hosted REE's at Meteor, Artemis and Comet East Prospects.
- Substantial upside potential for additional new REE discoveries in the surrounding unexplored tenure.

Meteor REE Prospect

- Main Prospect 2km by 1km, with other satellite bodies evident and is open in several directions.
- REE Apatite enriched source rocks below, offer additional REE targets!

Meteor – W-E Cross Section – High Grade Mineralisation


Meteor – Beneficiation Significantly Increases REE Grade

Simple Low-Cost Screening Significantly Increases Grade
- REE concentrate of 2000ppm TREO, including >500ppm MREO can be produced, with > 60% Recovery
- Reduction in ore feedstock volume by 57%, further reducing lixiviant consumption volumes for leaching.
- Upper Gypsum Horizon grade increased by 79%, retaining >75% of ore and records a 55% sample mass reduction for processing.

9m @ 2624ppm = 87.4% upgrade in TREO (-38µm fraction assay)
74.9% of TREO remains in -38µm fraction assay
Artemis REE Prospect

Summary of Results
- High-grade REE blanket >1000ppm TREO.
- Prospect currently 3km by 1.5km open in several directions.
- High value MREO intercepts up to 609ppm and average 221ppm.
- High-grade intercept thickness ranges from 12 to 37m.

Artemis Cross-Section A-A'


Comet East REE Prospect

Major New REE Discovery Extends Over a 3km Trend
- Greenfields drilling 25km to the east of the Meteor and Artemis prospect, uncovered a new high-grade REE prospect.
- REE's associated with a layered magnetic complex with mineralised intercepts recorded over a 3km trend and remains open both to the west and east.
- High-grade intercepts up to 2,990ppm TREO, with significant concentrations of high value MREO.

Woomera IOCG Project

Three Distinct Styles of Mineralisation
- Target 1 - IOCG Breccia Bodies Cu-Au-Ag-U (i.e. Olympic Dam/ Carrapateena/Oak Dam & Prominent Hill).
- Target 2 - Stratabound IOCG's Cu-Au-Co (i.e. Emmie IOCG, Punt Hill & Hillside).
- Target 3 - Sedimentary Copper –
Cu-Ag-Co in overlying cover rocks (i.e. Mt Gunson & Emmie Bluff – potentially remobilised from IOCG basement below!).

IOCG copper intersections adjacent to Petratherm's Woomera Exploration Licence Area overlain on a Residual Gravity Image. High gravity areas may indicate zones of stratabound and breccia mineralisation
Woomera IOCG Project

Rocky Well Gravity Anomaly Comparison with Carrapateena Gravity Anomaly
- Rocky Well Target is an IOCG Breccia Body Style – Displays a Comparable gravity response to the Carrapateena Orebody!
- Steep gravity gradient on west side of Rocky Well may indicate additional shallow Sedimentary mineralisation in the overlying cover strata. (i.e. Emmie Bluff, Mt Gunson Style Cu-Ag-Co mineralisation potential also!)
