ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 29 July 2022

Quarterly Activities Statement – June 2022

Highlights

  • Greenfield's regional RAB drilling supported by South Australian Government Exploration Initiative Co-Funding uncovers significant rare earth (REE) occurrences at Comet, in the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia.
  • Mineralisation encountered, includes high concentrations of high-value REE's which remain open at depth below and out into surrounding areas.
  • 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.
  • 10,000 metre Aircore drilling program to follow up REE occurrences completed with results due in the next quarter.
  • Native Title Mining Exploration Agreement executed with Kothatha Aboriginal Corporation, allowing for exploration activities to get underway on the Woomera IOCG Project
  • Arcoona Project (ELA 2022/00066), located within the world class copper-gold "Olympic Province" of South Australia, secured through a South Australian Government competitive bid process.
  • Arcoona Project has excellent potential, as the tenement area is one of the last areas in the region where no detailed gravity surveying has been undertaken to explore for Iron Oxide Copper-Gold mineralisation.

Summary of Operations

In April, Petratherm (ASX-PTR) reported significant Rare Earths (REE) occurrences occurring in clays at its Comet Project Area in the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia. Mineralisation encountered includes concentrations of high-value rare earths which remain open at depth and out into surrounding areas. The rare earth intercepts show striking similarities to the ion-absorption rare earth deposits of China which are a major world supplier. In late May a regional air core drilling program got underway and continued through the rest of the quarter to follow-up rare earth intersections and the test extent of mineralisation encountered.

PTR's newly granted Woomera Project (EL 6707) is situated in the heartland of the world-class Olympic Copper-Gold Province in South Australia and during the period preparations got underway to undertake gravity surveying and heritage surveying of target areas. Just after the reporting period, PTR received notification that it had been successful through a competitive bid process to be the preferred applicant for ELA 2022/00066 (Arcoona Project) just to the south of Woomera Project Area, significantly bolstering the Company's ground position in the Olympic Domain.

In June PTR was the successful recipient of two SA Government Accelerated Discovery Initiative (ADI) grants totalling $316,500. Funding of $250,000 has been awarded to assist in the drilling of two geophysical targets for copper-gold on the Woomera Project area and a second grant of $66,500 has been awarded to co-fund a deep Electro-magnetic (EM) geophysical survey on the Company's Mabel Creek Project which is prospective for both Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) and Broken Hill Type (BHT) Silver-Lead-Zinc mineralisation.

During the period, PTR raised $3.1 M by way of placement of new shares, with funds to be used to expedite exploration on the Company's Comet and Woomera Projects. The Company had exploration and evaluation costs of $56,000 relating principally to the Comet Project drilling operations during the period. The Comet Project work is supported by S.A Government grant, and $147,500 is expected to be recouped in August 2022. Administration and corporate costs totalled $201,000. The Company held $4,692,000 cash at the end of the Period. A summary of ground activities during the period for both the Comet and Woomera Projects is presented below. No exploration activities occurred on the Mabel Creek Project Area during the period.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 23, the aggregate number of payments to related parties of the Company and its associates disclosed under section 6.1 of the Appendix 5B totalled $39,000 and comprised of Director's fees.

Comet Rare Earth and Gold Project

The Comet Project (EL6443, EL6633, EL6722 & ELA2022/017), totalling 1,885km2 , contains prospective Archean and Proterozoic strata of the Northern Gawler Craton which is historically noted for numerous gold occurrences such as the Challenger gold deposit (1.1 Moz @ 5.1g/t) and the high-grade Aurora Tank Gold discovery.

In April, the Company announced the discovery of significant Rare Earths (REE) in clays following a program of greenfield regional RAB drilling (Figure 1). The mineralisation encountered includes impressive concentrations of high-value rare earths. Of the 118 holes which have been assayed for rare earths, 105 drill holes returned significant Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) above a nominal cut-off grade of 350 ppm, a value typically used in ionic clay rare earth resource estimation. A summary of significant results is presented in Table 1 and are for the most part single 3 metre composite bottom hole samples taken from re-assaying of PTR's historical regional top of clay saprolite geochemical sampling program (refer to PTR ASX 22/06/2022).

The mineralisation reported remains open in all directions and the thickness and grade of mineralisation is still to be determined. The favourable saprolite clay zone starts typically from 5 to 10 metres depth and extends down to approximately 25 to 35 metres depth. Ionic Clay hosted REE occurrences show vertical and horizontal grade and depth variability within a clay profile and the follow up drilling which got underway in later in the quarter will test the grade and extent of mineralisation encountered.

The assay results have additionally highlighted scandium oxide (Sc2O3) credits with the REE's (Table 1). Scandium is an exceptionally high-value metal used in new technology alloys and may offer an additional revenue potential. Scandium oxide from all significant TREO samples in Table 1 averages 32 ppm with a peak value of 122 ppm. These results are comparable to Ionic Rare Earths (ASX code IXR) reported Makuutu Ion Adsorption rare earth clay resource which includes a Total Inferred and Indicated Scandium Oxide grade of 30 ppm (refer to IXR ASX release 03/03/2021).

Table 1 Continued Comet Project - Summary Table of all Significant REE drill intersections

Systematic follow up drilling of the rare earth areas got underway in late May and were completed just after the reporting period in mid-July. The program in all comprised 330 drill holes, totalling 9,893 metres with an average hole depth of 30 metres. Figure 1 provides a summary of the areas which have been tested in this first phase of drilling. Drill spacing has been on a 200 metre by 200 metre grid but also includes some limited closer spaced drilling over potential higher-grade zones of interest. Drill samples have been submitted in several batches as the drill program has unfolded for geochemical analysis and initial results are expected in August.

Woomera and Arcoona IOCG Projects

The Woomera Project (EL 6707) is a 209 km2 area in the world-class Olympic Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold Province of South Australia. It is close to BHP's Oak Dam West copper-gold discovery, OZ Minerals' newly operating Carrapateena Copper-gold mine and Coda Minerals recent Emmie Bluff Deeps IOCG discovery (Figure 2 &3 ). Significant historical copper drill intersections at the Winjabbie IOCG Prospect along the northern edge of the new tenement area (Figure 4) additionally highlight the Woomera Projects copper-gold fertility.

During the period PTR executed a Native Title Mining Exploration Agreement with Kokatha Aboriginal Corporation which sets out the framework for the Company undertake exploration activities. Preparations are underway to undertake a gravity survey in the next quarter to better define target areas identified PTR ASX release 04/04/2022) and aid final drill hole locations. In July just after the period, PTR was successful through a competitive bid process to be the preferred applicant for ELA 2022/00066 (Arcoona Project). The Project covers a 264 km2 area and is close to the Woomera IOCG Project significantly strengthening PTR's ground position in the region.

IOCG style mineralisation typically displays distinctive high gravity anomalism and gravity surveying is the most effective targeting tool for explorers. The Arcoona Project is one of the last areas to be systematically gravity surveyed as demonstrated in Figure 2 which shows a lack of gravity definition compared to the highly explored surrounding areas. PTR intends to undertake systematic regional gravity surveying to screen for potential IOCG style mineralisation upon grant of tenement.

In addition to the Arcoona Projects IOCG potential, there is also potential for strata-bound copper-cobalt-silver mineralisation in the overlying cover rocks. Notable local examples include the historically significant Mt Gunson mine workings (Figure 1) and Emmie Bluff which has a recorded a total inferred and indicated resource of 43MT @ 1.3% Cu, 470 ppm Co, 11 g/t Ag and 0.15% Zn (refer to COD ASX release 20/12/21). Recent gravity modelling work undertaken by PTR over its nearby Woomera Project has highlighted subtle residual gravity anomalism potentially associated with this style of mineralisation. Close spaced gravity surveying may aid targeting for this style of mineralisation. It is expected that the Arcoona Project Tenement Licence may be offered for grant in approximately 3 months' time
