Drilling uncovers major High-Value Rare Earth Discovery at Comet in the Northern Gawler Craton
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Petratherm redefines the mineral prospectivity of the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia after Greenfield’s regional RAB drilling supported by South Australian Government Exploration Initiative CoFunding uncovers significant rare earth (REE) occurrences.
-
Shallow RAB drilling tested the top 3 metres of the prospective clay horizon. Mineralisation encountered, includes impressive concentrations of high-value REE’s which remain open at depth below and out into surrounding areas.
-
Notable drill intercepts include:
| High Value | ||
|---|---|---|
| Hole | Interval | Magnet Rare Earths* |
| 703 | 3m @ 2,819 ppm TREO from 15m - 18m (EOH) | 743 ppm |
| 704 | 3m @ 2,660 ppm TREO from 15m - 18m (EOH) | 702 ppm |
| 590 | 3m @ 2,701 ppm TREO from 15m - 18m (EOH) | 1,016 ppm |
| 799 | 3m @ 1,813 ppm TREO from 12m - 15m (EOH) | 456 ppm |
| 931 | 3m @ 1,705 ppm TREO from 12m - 15m (EOH) | 382 ppm |
| T14_RC10 | 4m @ 3,042 ppm TREO from 36m - 40m | 814 ppm |
| (* Magnet Rare Earths = Pr6O11, Nd2O3, Tb4O7& Dy2O3) |
-
All 44 holes assayed returned significant results with 23 holes returning TREO > 1,000ppm.
-
REE intercepts in clays show striking similarities and comparable grades to the ion-absorption rare earth deposits of China which are a major world supplier.
-
Deeper RC drilling into crystalline basement rock below REE enriched clays at the Target 14 Prospect intersected zones of primary REE mineralisation. This may represent a potential source rock for the mineralisation and petrological analysis of the REE enriched basement rock is underway.
-
10,000 metre RAB drilling program scheduled to start in three weeks to test extent of mineralisation. Initial JORC resource potentially defined within six months.
-
Petratherm has a strong ground position in the Northern Gawler Craton, totalling 1,885 Km[2] . There is large upside for further important new REE Prospects in surrounding un-explored areas.

INTRODUCTION
Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR ) is pleased to announce assay results of Rare Earth (REE) drill intersections from the Comet Project Area (EL 6443 & EL 6633) in the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia. Samples from 44 shallow RAB drill holes returned significant REE mineralised clay intersections outlining several regionally significant Prospect Areas. The results presented are for the most part 3 metre composite bottom hole samples taken from the Company’s ongoing regional RAB geochemical sampling program and the mineralisation encountered remains open at depth and out into surrounding areas.
Full suite REE analysis of the 44 drill holes was undertaken following recognition of anomalous light REE (cerium and lanthanum) and other REE path finder elements from the Company’s initial assay work. In addition to the 44 holes presented herein, a further 111 drill holes of the 993 shallow RAB holes drilled thus far contain evidence for elevated REEs. These samples are now undergoing analysis to better characterise the extent of REE mineralisation in the region.
First pass drilling was completed on a 400 metre X 400 metre spaced grid and the newly defined REE Prospect areas have been shown to be regionally extensive extending several kilometres (Figure 1).
REE 1 Anomaly - Area 1 is a broad northeast trending anomaly extending over an approximate 9 kilometre by 2-kilometre area (Figure 1). The 10 holes sampled to date in this area have returned a top of clay 3 metre composite Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) grade ranging between 703 ppm to 2,819 ppm. The area includes the Target 14 Gold Prospect where REE assaying of the crystalline basement rock below the clay interval has also returned highly anomalous REE’s, with drill hole T14_RC10 intercepting 4m @ 3,042 ppm TREO from 36m - 40m. The presence of primary REE mineralisation in fresh rock below the REE clays is highly encouraging, confirming the presence of local REE source rocks.
Drill Hole 703 records 3m @ 2,819 ppm from 15m to end of hole and Hole 704 which is the adjacent hole 400m to east, returned 3m @ 2,660 ppm TREO from 15m to end of hole. These holes contain exceptional high value Magnet REE grades of 743 ppm and 702 ppm respectively. Another 50 drill holes with anomalous REEs and/or REE pathfinder elements from within Area 1 are with ALS laboratories undergoing analysis.
- REE2 Anomaly Area 2 REE anomaly extends over an approximate 3 kilometre by 1.5-kilometre area and broadly overlies a prominent magnetic basement rock complex (Figure 2). Research is underway to determine if the magnetic complex is the source of the REE mineralisation in the area. A further 37 drillholes at REE2 have returned anomalous samples which are now with ALS for analysis.
Other Early Stage REE Anomalies - Several single and multi-hole regional spaced drill holes (Figure 1) have returned highly significant REE grades including:
Hole 590 3m @ 2,701 ppm TREO from 15m - 18m (EOH) of which 1,016 ppm are High-Value Magnet REEs and Hole 931 3m @ 1,705 ppm TREO from 12m - 15m (EOH)

It is important to note that sample results are for the most part single 3 metre composite samples of the top of the interpreted clay (saprolite) zone. Up hole sampling has not occurred and the mineralised intervals remain open at depth and laterally into surrounding areas. Samples from adjacent drill holes currently not recording significant REEs may be due to the sample interval being taken above or below potential mineralisation. Ionic Clay hosted REE occurrences typically show vertical and horizontal grade and depth variability within a saprolite clay profile. Better determination of these unknowns will come from the up-coming drilling scheduled to start in 3 weeks’ time.
Commenting on these results Petratherm’s Exploration Manager, Mr Peter Reid said:
“These are highly encouraging early results and a validation of the Company’s long standing frontier exploration approach, working in under-explored terrains and trialling new exploration methods. The results provide strong evidence that the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia is fertile for ionic clay hosted rare earth mineralisation.“

Significant Land Position Over Prospective Rare Earth Areas
The current drilling activities occur on the 100% owned, 1,190km[2] , Comet (EL 6443) and Gina (EL 6633) tenements. The Company has received an Offer Of Grant for its 100% owned, 110 km[2] , adjoining West Comet Tenement (ELA 2020/090) and recently applied for a second Exploration Licence Application area, Perfection Well (ELA 2022/017), totalling 585 km[2] on the eastern side of the Comet Project Area.
The Company has a very strong ground position with the combined Comet Project Holding totalling 1,885 km[2] in area. Regional RAB drilling activities to date have tested an approximate 130 km[2] , which is just 7 % of the total Project Holding. There remains substantial upside potential for additional new REE discoveries to be made in the surrounding un-explored tenure.

About Petratherm’s Shallow RAB Drill Geochemical Program
The Company has applied a new exploration methodology to explore for gold and critical minerals. Historical surface geochemical sampling exploration techniques in the region have been impeded by shallow cover strata which masks most of the prospective basement geochemical response. To overcome this issue, Petratherm applied a new exploration methodology, where regional scale (400 metre by 400 metre) shallow grid drilling has been undertaken to directly sample the top of the in-situ “saprolite” zone clays (deeply weathered basement rock which has been chemically decomposed to clay) below the younger transported cover strata. In most areas the top of the saprolite zone occurs between 5 and 15 metres depth and shallow drilling was undertaken using a light weight and cost effective, land cruiser mounted RAB drill rig.
This work was co-funded by a South Australian Government Accelerated Discovery Initiative Grant, which aims to accelerate mineral discovery through innovative exploration and research projects in regional and frontier terrains throughout South Australia.

Next Steps – 10,000 metres of Drilling to Start from mid-May.
Drilling will resume in approximately 3 weeks’ time. The program will infill REE anomalous areas, test deeper extensions of current REE drill intercepts and expand the regional program into new adjacent territories. Continuous sampling will be undertaken to determine full extent of REE clay mineralisation within the clay profile. At this stage, approximately 10,000 metres of drilling is planned during this next critical phase. To permit more intensive resource scale drilling operations, additional heritage surveying is planned over the coming weeks concurrent with the drilling operations. The Company is highly encouraged by these early results and looks forward to this next major phase of exploration drilling.

| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse Au that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
• A total of 993 drill holes have been drilled to collect samples from the top of the saprolite on 400m spacing. Infill sampling has also been completed at select locations at 100 metre spacings. At Target 14 drillholes were at 80m spacings. • Samples were collected as composite intervals from one metre drill samples stored individually in buckets. At Target 14 samples were collected in green plastic RC bags at one metre intervals. • Composite samples were collected using a “spear” tool to collect representative samples from buckets and RC bags. Composite samples were an average weight of 2 kg. A handheld Garmin 64s was used to record the location of each drill hole. The accuracy of this GPS is +/- 3m |
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
• Drill method consists of RAB. Hole diameters are 100 mm. • At Target 14 the drill method was a combination of Air core and RC drilling. Drillhole diameter at Target 14 is 300 mm |
| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have |
• RAB drilling methods were utilised throughout the regional drill program. Air Core and RC methods were used at Target 14. • Hole diameters are 100mm for RAB and 300mm for RC |

| occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
• A Geologist was on site for every drill hole to ensure that sample recoveries were appropriate. |
|
| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.

effectively a regional deep auger geochemical sampling program and as a result tabulation of drill hole information is considered not necessary as it does not add further material information and does not detract from the understanding of the report. • Drilling at Target 14 consisted of 18 drill holes drilled at -60 degrees on a 120 Azi. The tabulated drill hole data for Target 14 is not deemed significant at this stage of exploration and is thus not yetprovided. |

| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
• All reported drill results are true results as reported by ALS. • No assumptions of metal equivalent values were made or used. |
| Relationship between mineralisatio n widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• Drill holes were drilled vertically at -90 degrees. Any relationship between mineralisation widths and intercepts lengths is not known. • At Target 14 drill holes were angled -60 degrees towards the southwest. TREO values reported are down hole length. |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to aplan view of drill hole |

| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• Assay results from 44 drill holes showing elevated Ce and La were re-assayed using Lithium Borate Fusion and Mixed Acid Digest and assayed by ICP- MS are reported in the Table 1 of Significant Intercepts. A cut off value of 350 ppm was implemented which is in line with other ionic clay bound rare earth deposits. • All values returned by ALS exceeded this cut-off grade. Drillholes with anomalous intercepts still pending from ALS laboratories are shown and drill holes with no anomalous REE are also shown. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
• See attached ASX Release. Geological observations are included in that report. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
• See attached release. |
