ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 28 April 2022

Highlights

-
Planned drilling and related resource evaluation studies of Comet Rare Earth Discovery.

Petratherm Ltd (“Petratherm” or “the Company”– PTR: ASX ) is pleased to advise that it has received firm commitments to raise $3.1M (before costs) through a share placement pursuant to Section 708 of Corporations Act (Cth)) (the “ Placement ”).
In addition to the Placement, the Company intends to offer eligible retail shareholders the opportunity to participate in the equity raising through a Share Purchase Plan (“ SPP ”) to raise up to an additional $3M by subscribing for up to $30,000 each at the same price as the Placement, in the near future. Further details regarding the SPP will be provided to Shareholders in due course.
The proceeds of the share placement will be used to underpin drilling operations at the Comet and Woomera Projects and provide for working capital.
COMET PROJECT
Shallow RAB drilling at the Company’s Comet Project (EL 6443 & EL 6633) in the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia has uncovered significant rare earth mineralised clay intersections outlining regionally significant Prospect Areas. Mineralisation encountered includes impressive concentrations of high-value rare earths which remain open at depth and out into surrounding areas. The rare earth intercepts in clays show striking similarities and comparable grades to the ion-absorption rare earth deposits of China which are a major world supplier. A 10,000 metre air core drilling program scheduled to start from mid-May will test extent of mineralisation encountered with related resource studies to follow (refer to PTR ASX release 20/04/22 for project details).
WOOMERA PROJECT
Woomera Project (EL 6707) is situated in the heartland of the world-class Olympic Copper-Gold Province in South Australia. The local area includes BHP’s Oak Dam West copper-gold discovery, OZ Minerals’ newly

operating Carrapateena copper-gold mine and Coda Minerals recent Emmie Bluff Deeps copper-gold discovery. Historical copper drill intersections at the Winjabbie IOCG Prospect along the northern edge of the new tenement area additionally highlight the Woomera Projects copper-gold fertility. High priority gravity targets prospective for Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) style mineralisation have been defined, with the Rocky Well IOCG gravity anomaly shown to be comparable in size to the Carrapateena IOCG gravity anomaly (refer to PTR ASX release 04/04/22 for project details). Drill testing of prospective targets is planned from mid-2022.
