Greenfields Exploration Drilling Uncovers a New Style of High-Grade Titanium Mineralisation at Muckanippie

Highlights

  • Exploration drilling in greenfield areas, away from the Rosewood Heavy Mineral Sands Discovery has identified a new style of Titanium Rich Heavy Mineral (HM) Mineralisation hosted in Saprolite Clay.

  • Trial Heavy Mineral separation tests returned exceptional, thick, high-grade results from all four holes tested. Drill intersections returned:

  • Nardoo Prospect: 24ND003 - 44m @ 29.4% HM from surface to end of hole.

  • Duke Prospect: 24DK004 - 61m @ 19.7% HM from surface to end of hole.

  • Claypan Prospect: 24CP009 – 45m @ 27.0% HM from 6m.

    • 24CP004 – 48m @ 23.5% HM from 10m to end of hole.
  • HM mineralisation at Duke and Nardoo Prospects occur along a prominent magnetic trend which extends over 16 kilometres. Potential exists for the entire trend to be mineralised.

  • At Claypan Prospect high-grade Titanium mineralisation is associated with discrete magnetic features, but mineralsation may also be present in untested non-magnetic zones and further drilling is required.

  • The saprolite HM mineralisation start from or near surface and range from 40m to 60m in thickness. Potential exists for a free dig operation.

  • Preliminary visual mineral logging of HM concentrates suggest a high-grade ilmenite-dominant content with leucoxene credits.

  • This style of mineralisation, hosted in saprolite, has the potential to be mined and processed using similar methods to standard HMS Mining Operations.

Petratherm CEO, Peter Reid, commented:

“The Titanium Heavy Minerals hosted in saprolite clays at Muckanippie, represent a new style of mineralisation that we believe has tremendous upside potential. The drill results shows that the mineralisation is regionally extensive and has potential for large tonnage free dig ore. Importantly intercepts occur over wide thicknesses, making them favourable for open pit free dig mining. Saprolite hosted HM deposits have the potential to be mined and processed using very similar mining techniques to traditional HMS deposits.

The Muckanippie Project is shaping up as a Camp Style Province for Titanium with the Discovery of high grade HMS at Rosewood and now these new saprolitic hosted HM Prospects located just within a few kilometres. Potential exists for further new discoveries with follow up exploration drilling at Muckanippie.”

Titanium is on the Australian Critical Minerals list and the Muckanippie Project offers potential to provide a secure and substantial domestic supply, as part of Australia’s National Security”

Drilling Program

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) (“ PTR” or “ the Company” ) is pleased to announce results from exploration drilling of titanium targets on the Muckanippie Project in the northern Gawler Craton, South Australia. During October 2024 the Company drilled 49 holes totalling 1,652 metres at 10 targets with the potential to host titanium-bearing Heavy Minerals (Figure 1). Anomalous titanium assays were intercepted at eight of the targets tested (Table 2 - TiO2 assays). From these targets four drillholes were selected for trial Heavy Mineral Separation to test for the presence of titaniferous Valuable Heavy Minerals (VHMs). All four holes selected returned exceptional HM results presented in Table 1. Semi-quantitative visual logging of the HM concentrates was undertaken by Diamantina Laboratories and indicate an ilmenite dominant ore (Table 1).

  • Cautionary Note: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. The Valuable HMC Mineralogy is a semi-quantitative mineral counting method undertaken by an experience independent mineralogist with a reported accuracy of ± 5%.

Duke and Nardoo Prospects

HM mineralisation at Duke and Nardoo Prospects are formed from the deep weathering of a titanium rich basement horizon easily traceable from aeromagnetic data (Figures 1 & 4). The magnetic trend extends over an interpreted 16 kilometres on PTR’s licence area, and potential exists for this entire trend to be mineralised. The Duke and Nardoo Prospects were drilled to test different parts of the magnetic trend, 5 kilometres apart. At both Duke and Nardoo HM mineralisation starts at surface and continues to end of hole (air core blade refusal). Drill cross sections are presented in Figures 2 and 3.

At Nardoo exceptional grades were encountered over the entire length of the hole, returning 44 metres at 29.4% HM. Diamantina Laboratories conducted visual logging of the HM concentrates from Nardoo which returned high ilmenite concentrations (averaging 45.1% of HM) with additional credits of high-value leucoxene (averaging 5.0% of HM). At Duke deep weathering produced a very thick HM saprolite sequence of 61 metres averaging 19.7% HM. Encouragingly, visual logging of the Duke HM concentrates also returned high ilmenite concentrations averaging 31.3% of HM and leucoxene averaging 5.3% of HM concentrates.

Claypan Prospects

Six different saprolitic/weathering targets were tested in the Claypan area (Figure 7). High titanium assays were returned from five of these targets, most notably from those around the southern rim of the targeted magnetic feature . Two holes were selected for initial HM assaying, both returning exceptional results. Drill hole 24CP004 returned 48 metres at 23.5% HM (including 8 metres at 29.7% HM) and drill hole 24CP009 returned 45 metres at 27.0% HM . Cross sections for these holes are presented in Figures 5 and 6. Similar or better TiO2 assays in other holes on these sections suggest that the HM mineralisation is open in all directions.

Visual logging of the HM concentrates returned very high grades of titanium-bearing minerals. Drill hole 24CP004 averaged an exceptional 58% ilmenite for the HM zone along with 4.3% leucoxene credits giving a total VHM content of 62.7%. Drill hole 24CP009 averaged 33.8% ilmenite and 4.8% leucoxene in the HM zone. The drill hole immediately to the east, 24CP008, returned a thicker intercept with a higher TiO2 grade (Table 2). HM mineralogy results (pending) are therefore anticipated to be better here, warranting additional drilling followup.

Future Work

Given the encouraging initial trial HM work, other exploration drill holes with significant TiO2 assays are being submitted for HM analysis and visual logging of HM concentrates. Following this, selected concentrates will be composited and submitted to benchtop and small-scale HM recovery investigations including magnetic and electrostatic separation of HM concentrate and geochemical evaluation of concentrate product. These results will complement the similar testing being undertaken on Rosewood samples and will help to determine if a joint mining operation is viable.

Additional exploration drilling will be undertaken to test the continuity of mineralisation relative to magnetic trends and to test other HM models currently being developed by the PTR team.

ENDS

This announcement has been authorised for release on the ASX by the Company’s Board of Directors.

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 2025 calendar period.

In addition, PTR has a major project holding in the northern Gawler Craton of South Australia. Recent exploration has uncovered significant concentrations of 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.
