Company Summary
Petratherm Limited ( ASX: PTR ) ( PTR or the Company ) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 30 September 2023 ( September Quarter ). The Company has built an enviable project portfolio in South Australia, focused on rare earths (REEs) in the Northern Gawler Craton and copper-gold in the World-Class Olympic Domain.
During the period, PTR received assays results from air-core drilling completed at the Artemis REE Prospect, significantly expanding the area of mineralisation, and over other greenfield target areas. The exploration drilling uncovered a new high-grade prospect area, Comet East.
Beneficiation work completed by the Company, confirmed a low-cost screening analysis produced a significant increase in REE grades. A simple sieve separation process was able to increase REE grades by up to 79% from the shallow upper mineralised zone after a 55% sample mass reduction.
The Company expanded its ground position at both the Mabel Creek and Woomera IOCG Projects, further strengthening their land holding in the Olympic Copper Trend. Subsequent to the quarter, PTR announced drilling of the Olympus Gravity/EM Target, an exceptional geophysical target prospective for Tier-1 sized Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold mineralisation. Drilling of this target is now scheduled to start in early November.
The Company had exploration and evaluation costs of $333,965 relating principally to the Comet Project drilling operations and the Woomera and Mabel Creek geophysical programs conducted during the period. Administration and corporate costs totalled $447,098. The Company held $2,294,493 cash at the end of 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 $42,000 and comprised of Director’s fees.

Comet Rare Earth Project
The Comet Project is a significant ground holding totalling 1,915km[2] in the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia. The region is historically noted for numerous gold occurrences, however in April 2022, the Company reported significant intercepts of Rare Earth Elements (REE) hosted in clays following a program of greenfield regional RAB drilling.
Exploration drilling has subsequently delineated two major REE occurrences. The Meteor and Artemis REE prospects both occur at very shallow depths, include high-grade blankets of mineralisation showing good lateral extent and ore thickness. Less than 10% of the project area has been explored for REE’s and a systematic program of advancement of current prospects, testing of new areas and metallurgical recovery test work is ongoing.
Aircore Drilling Program
During the quarter, the Company received assay results from Aircore (AC) drilling completed over greenfield exploration areas and from step out drilling at the Artemis REE Prospect. The exploration drilling uncovered a new high-grade REE Prospect Area, Comet East Prospect 25km east of the advanced Meteor and Artemis REE Prospects.

The drilling comprised broad-spaced drilling, 200m hole spacing, and lines mostly 800m apart over a layered intrusive complex identifiable from regional aeromagnetic data (Figure 3). Rare earth horizons, hosted in the overlying clay weathering profile were uncovered within the layered complex. Notable drill intercepts include:[1]

Drilling extended the zone of REE mineralisation at Artemis over an approximate 3km by 1.5km area and it remains open laterally in several directions (Figure 4). These latest results build on the initial results from drilling at Artemis that were previously reported and demonstrate encouraging grades and continuity over the prospect that continues to show substantial size potential. The latest drill data will be used to aid future JORC Mineral Resource Estimation. In this most recent round of drilling, high-value magnet rare earth oxide (MREO) intercepts up to 521 ppm are recorded and the average MREO significant drill intercept grade is 225 ppm.[ 2]

Figure 4 – Artemis Prospect – Plan view of drill collars key drill intercepts. Mineralisation currently extends over an approximate 3-kilometre trend and remains open.
Simple Beneficiation Increases REE Grade
During the reporting period, the Company successfully completed a screening analysis work, which produced a significant increase in REE grades using a low-cost sieve separation processing.
Using the fine fraction passing through a 38µm sieve, an average initial head grade of 1406ppm TREO was upgraded to 2011ppm TREO. A similar result was obtained for the MREO component, the average initial head grade increasing from 357ppm to 509ppm. Overall, the average head grade improved by 43%, but within this trend there are some outstanding upgrades of >100% (maximum 155%). In the initial test work, only 36% of the samples submitted analysed >1500ppm, however following beneficiation, this increased to 77% of samples.[ 3]
This is best illustrated in Figure 5, an east-west cross-sectional view of the REE mineralised zone at Meteor. Beneficiation results here have been composited to compare with previous assay data and show that all composited zones, ranging from 9-12m thick, have been upgraded to >2000ppm, when

previous composites ranged from 1111ppm to 1880ppm TREOs. It is important to note that there is significant mineralisation within this section that was not part of the beneficiation trial, and given the similarity of the geology, PTR would expect a similar upgrade in these samples.
On the beneficiated samples from this drill section, 67% of TREO is captured by the -38µm fraction, producing a TREO concentrate of 2320ppm and a 65% reduction in sample volume. MREO results average 590ppm (25.4% of TREOs).[ 3]

Mabel Creek IOCG Project
The Mabel Creek Project is located on the northern extent of the Olympic Copper-Gold Trend, but the region also has geological similarities to the Mt Isa Inlier in Queensland and is considered by PTR to be highly prospective for Tier 1 Copper-Gold deposits. The Mabel Creek Project has a significant land holding of 3,322km[2] , which is 100% owned by the Company.

Ground Expansion
During the quarter, the Company was granted the Dean Bore (EL 6919) tenement, which provides an additional 470km[2] of highly prospective Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold mineralisation (Figure 7). Additionally, the Company registered two large Exploration Licence Applications (ELA), covering a total of 1,263km[2] over a newly identified prospective IOCG fertile zone (Figure 7) .
Recognition of IOCG Alteration
Dean Bore contains the historic BigNE target, a regionally prominent, partly overlapping gravity and magnetic complex spanning a 7 kilometre by 4km area (Figure 8). The main gravity anomaly has an approximate 6 mGals amplitude, centred immediately east of the main magnetic high, which is a large amplitude (1,500nTs) linear anomaly.

Limited historical drilling was completed across the BigNE target by Alliance Resources in the early 2000’s (Figure 8). This indicated that the area has been subjected to a mineralising iron-oxide (hematite) alteration event[7] . Drillholes ABNE 2 & BNE05/BNE05X intersected two intervals of relatively strong hematite development within altered meta-sediments . Anomalous copper assays were recorded up to 0.32% over short intervals within the iron rich alteration zones.
Re-evaluation of the ABNE 2 drill core by PTR staff and an independent IOCG specialist consultant confirmed the presence of iron-rich veins and pervasive iron-alteration, associated with brecciation and extension at a high crustal level. The hydrothermal alteration event is clearly younger than deformed host rocks. This is consistent with classic IOCG alteration in the Olympic Province.
A key additional finding is that the host sequences at BigNE comprise fine-grained laminated sedimentary rocks of probable Wallaroo Group equivalent strata that have not been previously recognised in the region. The Wallaroo Group is the host sequence to numerous IOCG mineralised occurrences in the Olympic Province such as at the Prominent Hill Mine, Emmie IOCG and Winjabbie

Prospects. This observation and overprinting iron alteration demonstrates the eastern Mabel Creek Area has upper crustal levels present, which may be critical for the preservation of IOCG mineralisation in the area.

Note historical drilling has tested the combined magnetic and gravity responses on western half of the BigNE Target but not the gravity only target on the eastern side or satellite gravity body to the south.
Olympus IOCG Target
Subsequent to the reporting period, the Company announced drilling of the Olympus target, with drilling now due to commence from early November. The Olympus Target is a strong gravity and partially overlapping conductive EM geophysical anomaly of significant dimensions, located along the Wirracanna Fault Structure (Figure 9). Historical drilling at the Cadi Prospect, further southeast along the Wirracanna structure, intersected broad zones of highly anomalous copper and light rare earths (i.e. drillhole 99WS003 - 16m @ 0.57% Cu, 0.16% Ce+La from 184m) highlighting the fertility of this structure for iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG).[8]

Woomera IOCG Project
The Woomera IOCG Project has a significant landholding of 668km[2] and is strategically located in the World Class Copper-Gold Olympic Province of South Australia (Figure 10). It is close to BHP’s Oak Dam West copper-gold discovery and newly operating Carrapateena Copper-gold mine. Other notable copper occurrences include Coda Mineral’s Emmie IOCG discovery, and the sediment hosted copper-cobalt-silver mineral resource at Emmie Bluff in the overlying cover strata.
Ground Expansion
During the period, the Company was granted a new tenement, ‘The Pines’ (EL 6918), which provides an additional 195km[2] (Figure 11), strengthening the Company’s ground position in the world-class copper-gold Olympic Province in South Australia to 668km[2] .
Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) style mineralisation is effectively targeted using gravity surveying as the iron-hosted copper-gold ores are denser than surrounding rock producing discrete local gravity highs. ‘The Pines’ area has limited gravity coverage and PTR intends to undertake a precision ground gravity survey to screen for potential IOCG mineralisation in the prospective basement rocks which underlie the younger cover strata. The Company has commenced preparations to undertake this work and will report on timing once contractor and land access details have been finalised.
