Outstanding Rosewood Metallurgical Results Indicates Significant High Value Titanium Minerals

Highlights

  • A trial heavy mineral separation test, using samples from historical drilling at the Rosewood Prospect, has returned highly significant Heavy Mineral (HM) grades and mineralogy.

  • Composite samples from wide spaced drill holes over 2.5 kilometres returned heavy mineral (HM) concentrations of 12.0% and 12.5 % from shallow depths.

  • Laboratory analysis confirms high titanium mineral content of the HM fraction with results reporting approximately 65% TiO2, indicating a significant portion of higher value Ti Minerals are present.

  • X-Ray Diffraction analyses of HM fraction indicates 19-21% Rutile, 4-7% Anatase and 68-70% Pseudorutile.

  • Company has recently completed regional drilling of Rosewood Prospect stepping away from these historical drill holes covering an expanded area of approximately 8km x 2km.

  • 90 samples from a representative drill section trending over 1.8 kilometres selected for fast-tracking HM separation analysis with results expected in 3-4 weeks.

  • Titanium is on the critical minerals list for Australia, US and EU and has uses in electric vehicles and battery storage, wind technology, pigments, and as an alloy in steel and superalloys.

Petratherm CEO, Peter Reid, commented:

“The initial metallurgical results from historic drilling at the Rosewood prospect are outstanding and beyond our expectations. As the Muckanippie project evolves, it continues to surprise with emerging potential to be a significant source of high value Titanium minerals and transformational for the Company.

“This outcome is a massive step forward for the Muckanippie Titanium Project and supports our strategy to maintain momentum on activities over the coming weeks and months to determine the full potential of the project. We now eagerly await the initial batch of heavy mineral results from Petratherm’s recent drilling at Rosewood and look forward to providing results as they come to hand.”

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) (“ PTR” or “ the Company” ) is pleased to announce results from an initial trial heavy mineral sand (HMS) separation test using samples collected from historic drill holes stored at the South Australian Core Library (CAR series drill holes). The composite samples were collected from widely spaced contiguous drill holes along a 2.5-kilometre-long traverse on the eastern side of the Rosewood HMS Prospect area, located within the Company’s Muckanippie Project in the northern Gawler Craton, South Australia.

Results from three composite samples submitted to ALS Laboratories for Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) analysis confirmed high grade Heavy Mineral (HM) separation results (7.2-12.5% HM). Associated high TiO2 grades between 63.4% and 65.0% are additionally reported and high value heavy minerals, including rutile have been identified. Detailed results from the initial trial HMS separation tests and metallurgical test work are described herein.

In October, Petratherm completed seven drill traverses at 1 kilometre to 2 kilometre spacing, over the Rosewood Prospect (fifty drill holes totalling 1,697 metres) as part of a larger exploration program to determine the nature and extent of the HMS mineralisation identified from mapping and re-assaying of historic drilling (Figure 1)[1] . All metres from this program have been submitted for TiO2 and multi-element assay to help identify the best mineralised zones.

Additionally, to help accelerate understanding of the HMS mineralisation, the Company has submitted an initial batch of 90 samples from 5 drill holes along a single 1.8 kilometre traverse at Rosewood to determine indicative HM grades and thicknesses. These results are expected in approximately 3-4 weeks.

Petratherm previously reported high titanium dioxide (TiO2) sample grades from Rosewood and this report provides new detail on the nature of the HMS mineralisation. It should be noted that the results presented in this report are based on Petratherm’s analysis of samples obtained from historic drill holes and Petratherm makes no warranties that these samples are necessarily representative of the broader Rosewood target.

Historic Drill Hole Heavy Mineral Results

Petratherm previously reported high TiO2 grades from historic drill holes (CAR series) at the Rosewood HM Prospect (Figures 1 & 3)[ 2] . Geological interpretation of the data suggests two extensive marine placer style, flatlying, high-grade HM sheets are present within a broader mineralised zone (Section A-a, Figure 2). Three representative composite samples from additional material held at the South Australian Core Library were selected from these zones for HM separation test work. Samples Met 1 and Met 2, each totalling 8 metres of composite sample, were collected from the upper horizon, from four drill holes covering 2.5 kilometres of strike length. Sample Met 3, totalling 10 metres of composite sample, was selected from the lower mineralised horizon, across three drill holes. Composite sample locations are shown in Figure 2 and described in Table 1.

The three composite samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) analysis to determine HM content. Excellent HM concentrations have been reported from the upper zone with the two composites reporting 12.48% and 12.01% HM respectively over 4 metres of interpreted true thickness. The lower zone reports reduced, but still highly significant, 7.24% HM content. The lower zone sample has a high fines (slime) content, and once these fines are removed the beneficiated ore records a 31.90% HM content. Potential exists to produce a beneficiated ore and further work will be undertaken.

Heavy Mineral Assay Results

Geochemical assays of the three HM concentrates report high TiO2 concentrations between 63.4% and 65% (Table 2), consistent with values expected from high-value titanium minerals. Significant vanadium (V2O5) credits ranging from 0.28% to 0.35% occur and very low deleterious U-Th concentrations are reported.

Heavy Mineral Mineralogical Assessment

The separated HM material was subjected to X-Ray Diffraction analysis to help determine the mineralogy of the sample. Results are presented in Table 3 as a percentage of the HM fraction. All samples returned exceptionally high rutile concentrations (up to 21%). Rutile is the highest-grade naturally occurring form of titanium. The presence of rutile was confirmed by petrological analysis. Additionally, the samples returned 4-7% anatase, a mineral very similar in use and value to rutile, and 68-70% pseudo-rutile. Pseudo-rutile is a form of leucoxene, also a valuable titanium-bearing mineral.

*As a cautionary note the samples have a poorly crystalline nature due to leaching of iron and weathering processes and results preceded by an asterisk indicate a larger than usual uncertainty in regard to the quantity and phase reported. The approximate 20% Fe2O3 and 65% TiO2 concentrations reported however from the XRF data (Table 2) support the XRD results presented herein and therefore are considered a reasonable guide of mineral concentrations. The quantitative results shown in the table have been normalised to 100%, and the values shown represent the relative proportion of the crystalline material in the sample.

Exploration Drilling Completed

As reported previously, the Company recently completed its maiden drilling program at the Muckanippie Project Area, completing 100 vertical air-core holes for a total of 3,392 metres (Figure 3)[1] . Half of these drill holes were drilled at the Rosewood HM Prospect in order to determine the nature and extent of the HM mineralisation identified from mapping and re-assaying of historic drilling.

Holes at Rosewood were drilled on north-south traverses spaced between 1 kilometre and 2 kilometres apart (Figure 1). Drill traverses varied from 1.6 kilometres to 2.2 kilometres in length, with variable spacing of 200 metres to 400 metres along the traverses. The area drill tested to date at Rosewood covers approximately 8 kilometres by 2 kilometres. An example of one of the better panned intersects is shown in Photo 2 from 10-11 metres in drill hole drill hole 24RW049 where a visual estimate of 20% HM content was logged (Figure 1 for location). No identification of the HM species can be made until further laboratory work is completed (refer to Cautionary Note at end of this report for further details).

Three-metre drill composites from the Rosewood Prospect have been despatched to ALS Laboratories for multielement analysis including TiO2 by Lithium Borate Fusion. These results will help to define the better HM mineralised zones and assist in prioritising samples for HM content analysis and other metallurgical test work. Results from this work will be returned in batches over the next 4-8 weeks. In anticipation of positive results, an initial selection of 90 samples from five drill holes along one traverse (Figure 1, Section B-b Figure 4) have already been submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for HM content and sample feed sizing analysis. Results from this work are expected in 3-4 weeks.

About the Muckanippie Project

In September 2024, PTR announced a high-grade heavy mineral sand (HMS) discovery at its Muckanippie Project area southwest of Coober Pedy in South Australia (Figure 3). The Muckanippie Titanium Project contains both 100% owned Petratherm tenure and the JV tenement EL 6715, owned by Narryer Metals Limited (ASX:NYM)[3] . Reconnaissance mapping and surface sampling along with assaying of historic drill core stored at the South Australian Government’s Core Library identified previously unknown high-grade Titanium mineralisation spanning many square kilometres at two prospect sites, Rosewood and Claypan.

Outcrop samples recorded exceptional grades ranging between 10% and 50% titanium dioxide (TiO2). The mineralisation occurs from or near surface (<10 metres) and is present as heavy mineral bands forming sheetlike Heavy Mineral Sand (HMS) mineralisation. Re-assaying of historical wide spaced drilling confirms HMS mineralisation extends at least 6 kilometres to the North.

At Claypan significant Titanium-Vanadium mineralisation has also been identified in the underlying basement source rock, returning grades up to 21.0% TiO2 and 0.44% V2O5, and additionally has potential for primary basement mineralisation (Refer to PTR ASX Release 11/09/2024 for details and JORC Table 1 information).

About Petratherm Limited

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) is a copper and critical minerals explorer focused on the discovery of worldclass deposits in both frontier and mature mineral provinces. The Company has two major exploration projects in the world-class Olympic Copper-Gold Province of South Australia. Work in the region has uncovered IronOxide Copper-Gold style alteration/mineralisation at both its Mabel Creek and Woomera Project Areas. Geophysical targeting work has defined several compelling Tier-1 Copper-Gold targets which the Company is aiming to drill test during the 2024 calendar period.

In addition, PTR has a major project holding in the northern Gawler Craton of South Australia. Recent exploration has uncovered significant concentrations titanium rich heavy mineral sands (HMS) over large areas. The mineral sands are associated with the weathering of a major intrusive complex, the Muckanippie Suite, which has been found to be highly prospective for other critical minerals including Platinum Group Elements, Vanadium, and Titanium. This is an early-stage Greenfields project with exceptional upside potential.
