Mabel Creek Project – Drilling Update
Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) is pleased to announce that drilling operations are scheduled to start at its Mabel Creek Project Area, 50 kilometres NE of Coober Pedy (SA) in approximately 2 to 3 weeks. The start date is dependent on how quickly the local ground access conditions improve after recent heavy rainfall in the area.
The Mabel Creek Ridge is an ENE trending zone of shallow covered basement rock which display high magnetic and gravity relief along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton. It’s prospective for large Olympic Dam Style Copper-Gold (IOCG) mineralised systems but is also considered highly prospective for related, magnetite skarn copper and high value rare-earths.
Regional and infill gravity survey work performed during the 2019 year identified several discrete gravity anomalies that may be potentially indicative of an IOCG style system. The Phase-1 drill program will test 4 high priority gravity targets. These targets are relatively shallow and have a modelled top of target depth ranging between 130 metres to 300 metres. The attached February 2020 Company Presentation includes a summary of the Project and the planned drilling activities.
For further information, please contact: Peter Reid Exploration Manager Tel: (08) 8133 5000

-
The offset in the gravity and magnetic anomalies observed be indicative of may
-
zonation within a magnetite-haematite system (e.g. IOCG style alteration). The non-magnetic gravity anomaly is positioned shallower and/or to one side of the magnetic feature, which is typical of an IOCG style system.
-
The unconstrained 3D inversion model indicates a minimum depth of 160-180m, but forward modelling using a variety of model densities show that the source could be as deep as 300m.

Area 5 Target
-
The Area 5 Anomaly is a broad multi-peak, highamplitude (7 Mgal) gravity anomaly, which is semicoincident with a moderately strong (500nT) magnetic anomaly. The 3D model indicates the top of the gravity anomaly starts at a depth of around 130 metres.
-
Inversion model demonstrates a high average
-
density contrast (≥0.1 g/cm[3] ) which may also be indicative of an IOCG style system

Gold intercepts occur over a continuous strike length in excess of 150 metres and is open to the north, south and at depth.
-
Follow up drill testing will be a priority. The Company has an existing Native Title Mining Agreement and anticipates a future drilling approval could be achieved quickly.
-
Historical gold soil geochemistry over much of the northern Gawler Craton was ineffective and prematurely down graded many areas. With these learnings, the Company will employ other exploration methods such as magnetic / structural targeting, IP geophysics and regional based shallow RAB drilling to locate prospective gold zones.
