Successful Placement to Underpin Drilling at Muckanippie

Highlights

  • Petratherm has received firm commitments to raise $1.6M by way of a placement of new shares with funds to be used to expedite exploration on the Company’s Muckanippie Titanium Project.

  • Drilling of high Priority Rosewood and Claypan Prospects for Titanium Rich Heavy Mineral Sands scheduled to start from the second week of October.

  • Share Purchase Plan of up to $1M will be offered to eligible retail shareholders on the same pricing terms as the Placement.

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) (“PTR” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has received firm commitments to raise $1.6M (before costs) through a share placement (the “Placement”). The Placement was strongly supported by existing and new investors. CEO, Peter Reid, has contributed $20,000 and PTR’s Directors have agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to contribute $200,000 to the Placement.

To reward shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the issue of new shares in the Company, the Directors have resolved to offer eligible retail shareholders participation in the equity raising through a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) to raise up to an additional $1M by subscribing for up to $30,000 each at the same price as the Placement. Further details regarding the SPP will be provided to Shareholders in due course.

The proceeds of the placement and SPP will be used to underpin the upcoming drilling operations at Muckanippie, advance Petratherm’s Copper Projects, as well as providing for general working capital and costs of the offer.

Chief Executive Officer Peter Reid commented:

“We are pleased to announce the completion of the Placement which was well supported. The Company has in addition announced a Share Purchase Plan allowing our existing shareholders the opportunity to be involved at an exciting time. The Muckanippie Project, located in the northern Gawler Craton of South Australia is highly prospective for a range of high value critical minerals. Mapping, surface sampling, and re-assaying of historic drilling has discovered highgrade Titanium rich heavy mineral sands[1] . Petratherm is now well-funded and has a solid platform for its upcoming drilling operations due to start from early October.”

About Petratherm Limited

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) is a copper and critical minerals explorer focused on the discovery of world-class 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 Iron-Oxide 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 a range of critical minerals including Platinum Group Elements, Vanadium, and Titanium. This is an early-stage Greenfields project with exceptional upside potential.
